 @603773e5 I was thinking just yesterday… where are all the fucking adults? 

All the people runnings things are little more than grown up selfish brats playing in their big kid clothes.

Where are the adults to tell them No! Naughty!

 @5410c591 It's hard because I'm not in a position to do what I think needs to be done, but if I was financially secure such that I didn't need to work anymore & my family would be provided for, I would stop working, find similarly situated people who care about trying to save the planet for the next generation & spend the rest of my time on this earth working with others to (1) figure out how to change the trajectory we are on (by any means necessary); and (2) organize people to make that happen.

 @603773e5 I hear ya. The mundane day-to-day, down in the lived moment, is a massive time and effort vacuum. And I said mundane, but I only mean that in comparison to global causes and events. How do ants change the mind of the elephant they ride upon?
