The world is currently heating at a faster rate than even the worst-case projections of the ’90s and 2000s. Experts agree that anything over a 2 degree Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) rise in temperatures from preindustrial levels would be catastrophic, threatening organized human survival. Yet many are now expecting a 5 degree Celsius (9 degrees Fahrenheit) increase by the end of the century, barring dramatic changes in energy use, making the planet essentially unlivable. Scientists also warn that increased temperatures will create feedback loops, like melting ice sheets and the release of trapped methane, that will accelerate further warming.

BREAKING! Ruth Ginsburg R.I.P. Democrats Posturing Begins!

 

People who get their 'news' from cable shows either forget or refuse to acknowledge that said products and services are owned by large multi-national multi-media corporations; which in turn are part of the establishment group of industries (Wall Street, Insurance, Pharmaceutical, Weapons Manufacturers, Media, etc.). They only present a narrative that fits their agendas.

The concepts of 'Democratic Party' or 'Republican Party' are nothing more than concocted corporate brands from various groups of establishment entities to maintain to the American public the theatrical illusion of democracy (i.e. choice). The industries may come and go, but the brands have been around for a very long time. They exist to sucker people into giving up the one thing these established industries don't have - a vote.

As long as people are duped into doing this - this will continue until these established industries achieve their final form of fascism. By then they won't need votes anymore.
 
Meanwhile - the devastating effects of climate change continues unabated. By the time these industries achieve their fascist goals, I think it'll be too late to reverse the effects of climate change.

Never thought I'd be happy for a day of rain.

Especially on a day like today. Life at work can be quite shitty at times. The only nice thing about it is its end.

Pretty impressive feat for a bank - a market cap of close to a trillion dollars, and still firing people.

A great crapitalist two-fer - yay! https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/layoffs-at-jpmorgan-hit-highest-level-since-2015/ar-AA2aAOHR Wi...
