The answer is capitalism. This is a direct result of capitalism.

Billionaires have such a heavy say in our government that it will never go that way unless it's forced.

Whaaaaat??

A politician making a bunch of claims right before an election and then never following through on them?

Say it ain't so! Not in my America!

Yeah it's lying season. Both sides are telling us what they think we want to hear.

Lmao are you really trying to act like it's not a genocide because some bureaucratic board has been bullied into being quiet about it?

Except for wages.

A bigger issue is how people maintain their yards. Lawns are the ecological equivalent of a parking lot. Lawns are terrible for the local species, as are all of the non-native species used in modern landscaping. Once you learn what is actually native and what is not, you'll be completely shocked at how few native species we cultivate.

Another really huge issue is everyone religiously scrubbing their yard of fallen leaves. Leaves need to stay on the ground. They are essentially compost for trees, and tons and tons of bugs lay eggs in fallen leaves, including fireflies.

I quit mowing my lawn and let some native plants grow up in place of grass and stopped eradicating the fallen leaves, and that summer my yard was absolutely lit the fuck up with fireflies.

All of this is currently reversible. We just have to stop buying into stupid capitalist yard maintenance traditions and start working with the native species. It's honestly much less work than trying to make all of these Chinese species that are in everyone's yards work.

Man if I'm moving my parked car to avoid rising waters, I'm not re parking. I'm out of there.

Urges de-escalation and then gives them literally $8,000,000,000 to continue the genocide.

Trump isn't ever going to actually go to jail. That would set a precedent for us to actually keep our political leaders accountable, and that ain't happening.

I recently read one where the wife was on her laptop and ignoring her husband when he asked her to look at something. So he flicked a lighter in her face, and then she slapped him in his face.

90% of the comments said that she was completely justified in hitting this guy in the face and that she should divorce him.

Anyone saying that you can't just hit people in the face was down voted to hell.

We barely pick the president as is.
