    I said on Facebook this morning: “I’m sorry Americans, I hate this for you” and caught a 30 day ban. Amazing. I am so sorry.

    I hate how this picture is accurate. American inaction on climate change fucks everyone over. There’s almost no chance of convincing China and India to reduce emissions if the richest country in the world can’t be bothered to lift a finger.

    But hey, maybe this will incentivize Elon to double his efforts on colonizing Mars for the super rich!

      It will only incentivize Elon (and all the other filthy rich) to build air conditioned luxury bunkers guarded by AI killerbots in places like New Zealand.

      Or maybe something like the titular space station in the movie Elysium, where they enjoy the newest medical treatments while looking down on the rest of humanity trying to survive on a planet that has turned into a helhole.

      This is my biggest concern. Like whatever on economy. Do I want more for everyone? Absolutely. But those can come back in 5-10 years.

      The environment doesn’t have that long. We had the hottest summer and about to have the coldest winter and they are all like “let’s go orange man!” And not giving a fuck what they leave for the next generation. So fuckin selfish. I hate them so much.

        They don’t care because they will be dead before they ever see the effects of their selfishness. They will literally never have any consequence.

        I’m sure they know in their hearts that their descendants will suffer and die because of what they do today, but they don’t plan on ever feeling bad about it because at the end they will be safe, warm and comfortable in their beds, surrounded by their loving families, after a lifetime of luxuries. Everything to gain and nothing to lose. Why not fuck the planet?

      I hope he does and that all the billionaires join on the maiden flight, we’re gonna get rid of the worst scum in one single swoop. I mean, chances are that things will go as well in space/on Mars as his self driving teslas, so please do that ASAP

    Let’s ignore the fact that the US has become the world’s largest oil exporter under the current administration. full disclosure: not a yank
