I’ll note that heat stroke victims in Phoenix are more likely to survive this year than in the past due to ambulances stocking body bags full of ice.
I’m indifferent to their suffering, not because of their political opinions, but they aren’t the frogs slowly heated in a pot, they’re the ones who threw themselves on the hot skillet even as they felt the heat to know the danger beforehand.
I pity the homeless, who can’t find safety in this heat, not the ones who had the means to avoid it and succumbed to it when they knew the danger
Wow, this would have been too implausible to be an Onion story.
Fact is oft stranger than fiction.
So far as a motherfucking criminal like Trump is concerned, we 99% are worthless peasants and we can all just die, so long as the 1% get their billions and live in comfort and safety.
Pretty much the plan for billionaires, yeah.
I don’t understand what happened with the left. Right wingers exercise their beliefs on the edge of sanity and it’s a proper place to suggest a new perspective that doesn’t contradict reality that much.
People on the left actively propose interesting ideas (eg: green new deal) — but the press is owned by a bunch of billionaires, which means that it actively supports right-wing positions. As a result, what you hear about is stories about how they’re secretly communist efforts, rather than any kind of evaluation of how those policy changes would affect people.
