    I thought there is no such thing as climate change. They’ve been denying it for 50 years. So why would they need immunity from prosecution for their part in an entirely natural/imaginary process?

      People must work and buy more plastic crap. /s

    I don’t remember any scenes in Mad Max where there was a happy rich person living in their perfectly intact mansion with servants and a well manicured lawn.

    The solution to this problem isn’t to ask a corrupt government to save you. They’ve already proven their word is worth jack by reversing policies of the previous administration. You should instead be trying everything possible to stop climate change. Including throwing money at the problem.

    Whatever’s left of society won’t care that you’re immune to lawsuits. People who have never seen a tomato don’t care if you worked hard to get your fancy stuff. They’re just hungry.

      I can’t fathom how these people can be so short sighted. Everyone knows it’s them and their genocidal policies that are to blame. They will be the first in the cooking pot when the supermarket shelves start to empty.

    Gave it to the gun lobby, might as well give it to them too. More externalities means better capitalism you know? The tragedy of the commons is the goal. Burn it all.

    That won’t stop people trying to stop them, only get rid of the options that tge companies themselves would prefer.

    But anybody stupid enough to do what they’re doing is unlikely to do a 180. But maybe something can still get them to be reasonable. I hope so, because all the alternatives suck.

      You realize they’ll have legions of morons with itchy trigger fingers lined up to defend them right?

      My father is one of them.

      I wish he’d at least have the spine to get paid to do it, but I figure they have kompromot on him at this point.
