Don't think I need to summarize this one. This is bad news for everyone.

Well, a lot of people didn't vote because they believed the genocide/both-sides-are-the-same bullshit, and now Republicans control Congress, the Presidency, and the Supreme Court. But no worries, they are very well-known for their stewardship of the environment, so don't fret.

    What are you doing, pal? Maybe stop howling at strangers to do something and calmly explain what you think they should be doing… especially if you can point sincerely to your example.

    You’re very noisy but not very informative. It’s not endearing.

    I genuinely think we should gather anyone with assets worth more than $1 billion and public flay them. On live TV. Make the message, "if you want to be a piece of shit, we'll treat you like one."

    See how long it takes for people to stop wanting to be billionaires.

    Great. Now what about dealing with the environment?

    Tbf, the average billionaire negatively impacts the environment on a level that is hard for people to comprehend. Most people are really, really bad at understanding volume and scale. Like the difference between a millionaire and a billionaire.

    Example: In 2023, 50 of the world's richest billionaires took an average of 184 private jet flights per year, emitting as much carbon as the average person would in 300 years. Elon Musk's two private jets alone emit 5,497 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year, which is equivalent to 11 average people's emissions in their entire lifetimes.
