    It’s likely because the fixes all would impinge on the rights of his constituents–and by that I mean, the rights of his major corporate donors to make money.

      The sick thing is most donors have so much hoarded wealth their entire lineage will never spend it l… But it’s worth letting the earth burn to accumulate more.

    What’s so hard to understand about this? There is a very popular meme that explains this person’s perspective, it has a dog having a cup of coffee in a burning room saying “this is fine”

      Reminder that the comic ends with the dog stressfully trying to put out the fire while whining that there was no reason to let it go that far.

      Some of us think human extinction would ultimately be for the best, even for humans. There is no civilized future; it’s exploitation, violence and horror all the way to the end. The faster the end comes the less of all that there will be. Humanity is not suited for interstellar permanence, we are defective.

            True, but neither regular pork nor long pork should be undercooked either. That’s how you get trichinosis…

        I agree. I’m actually hoping for human extinction. We’re a cancer on the earth. If bees went extinct, the natural world would collapse. If ants went extinct, again, the natural world would collapse. If humans went extinct? Well, not much would happen except that the natural world would achieve equilibrium again.

        To live is to suffer. Study. You’re almost there. The defect is intentional. Consoling the defect is enlightenment.

    I mean, at one level it’s more logically valid to say we shouldn’t bother doing anything to compare combat climate change than saying climate change doesn’t exist.

    It’s a weird level though.

      To be fair, they never said that. Saying that efforts right now are awfully misguided and completely incompetent efforts to sell even more product, and increase consuption EVEN more, such as EV-s and so on, is not climate change denial…

    Stage 2 of the four stage strategy.

    Or perhaps even stage 3 but somehow even more detached.

    GOP is consistently contradictory. So are most dictators and their parties. This fits.
