    Two types of people reading this:

    “Oh no! We should do everything we can to mitigate the damage.”

    and

    “Fuck it, might as well keep doing what I’m doing.”

      “Fuck it, might as well keep doing what I’m doing.”

      And that last group is going to be angry when they can’t keep doing their stuff when insurance rates go insane so they can’t buy houses or cars, or when food prices keep going up even faster than they are now.

      some people take 3 slices, because there are many people to feed.
