Yes, the people complaining that AOC’s Green New Deal is a crazy left-wing extreme socialistic plot will not look at the reality of the changes that have taken place in the climate in the last few decades. A third of US voters think Trump should be able to spend billions of dollars on a worthless wall, but don’t want to spend for a sustainable future. If elected officials had taken Jimmy Carter’s advice back in the late 1970s, we wouldn’t be watching Miami drown.

I've never seen the point, even as a young man.
I used to just get my GF a gift just because I wanted to do something nice, or have a picnic if it was a really nice day. Especially if she was having a bad day or something like that. Was I supposed to say "Hey... I know you're having a tough day, but you'll have to wait until next February before I can get you something to cheer you up."
It's ALWAYS about the 
. There is no sincerity or spontaneity any more. Just the paid for expectation of yet another forced gift because it's a Birthday, Valentines, Christmas... yadda! Mom hated them all as do I. We gave each other a gift when it wasn't expected & it was worth so much more (in non-financial terms). We should give a gift because we want to, because we want to make someone happy... Not because it's mandated! Humans really do suck.
I replied to a thread about Climate Change & what Humans will do & when. After I stopped laughing enough to type that is.
"Given Human history, I doubt any corrective action will be taken in time. Earth will be fine. It will shrug off the Human disaster, heal itself over however many centuries it takes, & perhaps evolve a replacement. Hopefully one that never invents religion, money, politics or war."]]>I’ve never seen the point, even as a young man.π€π€·πΎββοΈ
