      Unfortunately it’s pretty much by design, not even stupidity

      Idiot doesn’t know what they are doing. This is agenda, mostly to protect harmful businesses of friends and slow down changes. Earth is increasingly deleting life but we can’t have meaningful changes because $$.

        I don’t think that’s actually true.

        I think you have to be desperate, and the one thing there is no shortage of is people who are desperately trying to cling on to some semblance of a good life while the economy and everything around them is falling apart.

        No one’s livelihood is safe anymore, and successive neo-liberal governments in North America and Europe have been making it worse, while using the very people whose lives they have upended and often destroyed as scape goats for their own selfish ends.
