There is no elite prime plan for climate change, bitch.
just wait
In the end, without some kind of society to support you, all you can do with your wealth is stick it up your ass.
(Like not you zarathustra0, the figurative “you”.)
One understands.
I’m pretty confused actually, how do I get the 20 rolls of quarters out of my asshole?
You go back in time and slap yourself for thinking of doing something so stupid.
California has private firefighters. This is not a joke, they really do.
Fun fact: this is how fire fighters used to be.
There’d be fire markers on the outer walls to indicate which fire protection company covered that building and whichever firefighter turned up would bill that fire protection company who’d then bill the customer/customer’s insurance company.
Edit: typo.
Fact: Yes.
Fun: Not so much.
There is a scene in gangs of new york that pretty accurately shows how some fire fighters worked back then.
City where I live burned to the ground TWO times so they finally established a fire department in the 1800s
Remember, according to their followers California deserves this for being heathens. Not the flood in NC though, or the hurricane in FL. Those are just flukes, but anyone in CA deserves it according to them. Even this guy.
ironically Wasser, of course means water in German … Wasserman will pay any amount… for water
This is indistinguishable from satire for me. I honestly can’t tell if it is or isn’t.
For as much as authoritarians and the GOP voters hate California, a lot of them live there. Just another facet of their “Rules for thee” lifestyle.
Think of Trump, a billionaire New York real estate mogul, who’s made his career off the support of people who… hate rich city-dwellimg developers.
Some of them are leaving - and making a big spectacle of it and using their departure to feed into the lie that “EvErYoNe iS LeAviNg CaLiFoRniA!!1!”
But I wish more of the really obnoxious ones would leave. The reasonable Republicans/moderate conservatives? I have no problem with them staying and promoting a different perspective. That’s good for the state. But the reactionary hard-core cult members can fuck right off.
I have no problem with them staying and promoting a different perspective.
I wish conservatism wasn’t the only different perspective being promoted. It’s the gateway to all the bullshit happening everywhere.
Where is capitalism when you need it?
I am not really sure capitalism is the problem, rather tech and politics. I mean, do you have any practical alternative to the oil industry and also a handful of skilled politicians that will convince most of the population to consume less than they already do for a few years while we implement this new tech?
The point isn’t the economy, is those which consume it: us, we, me and you.

The solutions have been sitting there for a while. The lack of political support is almost entirely due to oil companies. It’s just capitalism.
Still, someone is paying those oil companies, and I cannot see a bigger culprit than the end consumer. I mean, we don’t really have a choice in the matter since we alone have no power over it, we either accept it or, well, go dark.
Fake, but funny.
Many news sources are reporting that it is a real tweet.
Apparently the tweet has been deleted. If its fake its bamboozled dozens of reputable news outlets. Looks real to me.
