@aral Profit planet
To them climate change isn’t a problem to be solved but a pretext to force fuel poverty on people so that they can enjoy cheap resources for their desires. Central bank policies have only worked to accelerate ecological disasters to make them richer.
These people are true supremacists, they essentially believe they are the real human beings and the rest of humanity are simply a waste of ‘their’ resources the moment they can be replaced.
@aral The main problem this planet faces today: humans.
@aral and virtual reality so you can hide from the world you’ve created. From the people that learned nothing from scifi.
@aral There are many planets but our economy is unique.
@aral The problems at the top require government policy. Capitalists can't do much to help poverty as long as helping the poor shows up as a loss-making activity on the company's books. Same with climate e.g. if there's no carbon price (set by govt), there's no commercial incentive to improve.
So, complain at your government(s).
@aral Sadly, the answer is "earth."
