And I do. So, yeah, I'm doing my part to keep it all to as much of a dull roar as possible. And yeah, it's sticking a pinky finger in a leaky dam... but at least it's goddam something.
But if you think I'm attacking you personally, move on, because there's nothing to see here. Yes, I realize it's going to take a major shift in our priorities to actually get something done, but folks like Tom are the ones you oughta be preaching at, not me. Those are the people who will look for any excuse not to change -- "it's too expensive! I need a job! It's all a bunch of tree-huggers anyway!"
Sorry, but that's bullshit. If we havent learned anything about climate change and our own impact on it in the last few years, then what the heck, let's collectively throw in the towel and be done with it, because we're gonna conitnue to turn a blind eye to a problem that's only get worse and worse the more we screw around.
And if you consider that whining, that's your issue, not mine. They murdered Cassandra, remember. Didnt change anything there either.
So yeah, suck it up. Life's tough. A lot of people dont have jobs. My own company may fall within the next year, but I'm making my own plans just in case that does happen. It doesnt take a degree in either Linux programming or rocket science to see the obvious when it's there.
And if that sounds cold, deal with it. Go make your own solution, because I'm fresh out.
