It was great to hear, from the mouth of Congressional savant Gerry Connolly, (D-VA) that substantive Democratic actions confronting climate change are “aspirational goals”. It makes survival sound like such an elective pleasure: as in should I order the hardtack or the filet mignon? Can I afford to survive? What will this do to my credit rating?

A Behemoth that suckles those who feed it best, while it organizes itself for a final push to eat the world.
Now, I can understand that any real action directed at actually doing anything to ‘save the world and lose our precious spot in our hegemonic comfort zone’ might piss off GOP (that’s Gosh Offal Politicos) and Dumbo-cratic mainliners and give the shrilly bleating pundit class plenty to yatter about, to worry and peck at a lot of skeptical folks ears… especially since it would disrupt our collective myopic view of reality…BUT!

It’s not personal) or even just 2 linked neurons, fail to perceive the short circuiting of ambition such blather imposes on us? Almost everyone on Earth except the MSM knows the world is getting hotter and changing in unexpected ways, at a rate freighted with enough pervasive insidiousness to rival ANYTHING the human world has experienced, ever.
