    How the near future extinction of humanity isn’t the top worry of every person on the planet is beyond me. Especially parents.

      Parent here, unless the alternative is a cartoon villain,. climate is the decider for me. Fortunately, the cartoon villain types tend to be against dealing with it, so voting is always a no brainer for me.

    Maybe the economy needs to slow down a bit. How much of the US GDP is broken window economics, and how much is a gain in overall wealth? I’d rather have a 10 trillion GDP where 9 trillion is still around than a 15 trillion where half of it is consumed like gasoline.

    To no one’s surprise. Neoliberals only care about profits going up. They’ll say they care then do nothing.
