Is it on a very high hill?
No no, about 8 ft above sea level
I think that this is all pretty accurate but I think it will take a long time for people to really accept that all these āsurpriseā events are part of climate change. Sure, scientists will be screaming from the roof tops that if you just open your eyes and look at the facts itās really clear, but at the same time people will be getting brainwashed on social media that itās all lies, the flooding isnāt real, the videos of forest fires are all deep fakes, blah blah blah.
Everyone will just accept that Forever Disasters are part of reality now, no one is going to bother changing their minds about climate change and itās not going to destroy the system. The system will just focus on protecting the well off and throwing everyone else under the bus. Itās going to suck a whole bunch, as you say, but itās going to suck a lot worse for some than for others.
Does it float?

Maybe someone in the media could point out that the so-called bipartisan bill has exactly 4 GOP votes and therefore zero chance of passing? Instead itās just a sea of ādeal reachedā headlines that are horribly misleading.

To defeat that cycle, you manufacture incidents to create a culture of permanent outrage. Encouraging people to be angry all the time and to express that anger gives them the energy to sustain action.
Like, does he not know itās not gonna pass? What the fuck is going on here?

Its for 550 billion, and removes the increased incentive for the IRS to cut down on rich tax cheats to pay for it.
Just an absurd joke
Oh and half of it is coming from Covid relief passed on by republican governors.
Makes me fucking sick
Oh I see. Its in the house and requires 60 in the senate.
Lol no fucking way, even with an avalanche of concessions
Heās celebrating making a shitty deal that wasnāt ever going to pass and the twitter comments are full of simps like this

Just think where weād be right now without such stunning leadership getting so many things accomplished.
It is just astonishing journalistic malpractice to not cover whatās actually going on. Whether the GOP tanks it tonight or later, there are only 4 Republican votes and this thing is DOA. What am I missing?
Imaginary bipartisanship pixie dust.

Canāt really blame the media when the president acts like that
But yeah Dems, media, and society still behaving like the gop is a good faith party is so lol
I think Biden actually thinks the deal is done lol
I guess I just assume they actually have 60 votes.
Its not the worst messaging in the world to really hype this up and then lay the blame for failure entirely at the republicans feet.
Not sure if there is any chance it is happening here but its not a terrible line to take
When there are 2-3 āsurprisesā per year every single place in the country I think people probably get forced to pull their heads out of the sand. For instance this year in Austin weāve had pretty much Seattleās weather in 2021. Rainfall and temperature were way more like Seattle than Austin and Seattleās weather was way more like Austinās. Every single day is weird right now. We are getting way way way more rain than normal.
