People have been making great arguments for decades, but that hasn't worked. There hasn't been any substantial change. In fact, Trump has been gutting environmental laws, rolling back emissions rules, and castrating agencies like the EPA.
The time has passed to sit idle. Seriously, people need to get mad and start taking real action, because congress is not doing anything about it.
So you're saying we should just ignore the facts? The fact is: the government is mostly controlled by one particular demographic, and they are the ones who got us to this point. They want to maintain the status quo because it's the system that got them where they are, and they want to continue to benefit from it.
You are naive if you think you can change the world without first acknowledging where the problems came from to begin with. The reason why nothing changes is because there's a revolving door of the same people being in charge year after year.
I can't afford that, I'm a wage slave. So I have to fight with the limited means I have, and one way I can fight (aside from protesting) is to make noise on the internet.
Disagree, it's important to start changing the dialogue everywhere you can. HN likes to stick their head in the sand because a lot of the people on this site benefit directly from companies/investors who are part of the problem.
C isn't happening yet, and congress is still about 2/3rd boomers. I don't think A is significant enough to affect retirement accounts, so it's not something boomers are passionate about.
This is correct. It's not generating the clicks anymore, so they've moved on to other things. The media only cares about whatever gets the most eyeballs.
That's what they want you to think. The war machine is a jobs program, but they could just as easily spend the same money on something more useful like infrastructure projects or social programs.
I would be less bothered by it if someone was building something other than killing machines. And I really don't care what flag someone waves, nationalism is dumb.
