    Honestly voting now is to little too late. The Overton window isn’t anywhere near the point of allowing actually meaningful change and the 4-5 year cycle of voting is too slow. If we really want to solve anything, the change should be systemic. Still, voting is important.

      We need some harsh mandates. Look at what Work From Home did for wildlife and emmisions in a short amount of time.

      We need that style of change. Big, bold, and life altering.

            So many logical jumps here.

            “WW3” ? wtf…

            “narrative” that wasn’t mentioned.

            The “whole economy” that also was not mentioned.

            Try responding to the comment as written, not the voices in your head and it might appear more coherent to others.

                Your echo chamber is showing in how much you read into things. Wow.

                Life Pro Tip for ya: Try engaging with the words on the screen as written not the voices in your head and your feed.

      Of course voting alone won’t do it. We need a lot more. Holding billionaires to account will go a long way as well.
