KAREN LEE actually imma have to correct you. First of all the economy isn’t doing so well. We are literally seeing the first signs of a recession. 2nd of all the reason why employment is low is because of OBAMA after the 2008 recession. Trump just loves taking credit for it. 3rd he does not donate his salary at ALL. 4th of all his children do not take his salary but they still profit off from his presidency and using it to help their personal companies. 5th trumps tax cuts have been helping big companies not the American people. He wants them to pay less taxes. But yea you’re right. We gotta stop watching propaganda machines. Everyone should do research and get informed

[@simplethings3730]

@@jameshumphrey9939 the problem with democracy is it gives ruthless immoral people the freedom they need to destroy it. The vast majority of citizens wanted to keep internet neutrality and they also wanted background checks for purchasing guns. Internet neutrality was repealed and background checks legislation is stuck in Congress. When a government goes against the wishes of its citizens it is no longer a democracy.

Excellent speech - think she will eventually become our president once the Chosen One’s reign of ecocide comes to a disastrous end....

[@lyraserpentine894]

What an incredible speech! And with some very quote worthy statements, too. "We must choose whether this moment will lead us to regression or evolution... Our greatest choice is to move toward a cooperative, collaborative world that aligns with scientific consensus, whose economies center and benefit the middle and lower classes and the marginalized... who honor the inherent value of human dignity..."

[@brian2440]

Lyra Serpentine it’s all emotional speech with zero planning behind it

[@lyraserpentine894]

@@brian2440 As a writing and speech expert, I beg to differ. She and her people did an excellent job planning and writing the speech, and AOC herself executed it very well. Not only would I pass her with an A+, but I'd also encourage her to continue writing and public speaking. Political office is exactly where she belongs. Her bid for the White House this coming decade will solidify that notion.

[@brian2440]

Lyra Serpentine I meant the policy not the words.... The GND has considerable problems when compared to published peer reviewed scientific studies... You say that our greatest move is one that aligns with science, yet ZERO scientific studies show that a 10 year timeframe to complete an energy transition in the USA is feasible. In actuality if you were to even attempt this you would have to eliminate the majority of environmental regulations as they would in their current implementation make construction in that timeframe impossible (however I would not recommend this if the entire point of this transition is to decrease pollution) So it would seem your comment contradicts her plans

@Bob N I guess if 97% of all climate scientists is half, then you're absolutely right! And who cares about the mountains of scientific evidence provided by organizations like NASA, IPCC, and WMO? Obviously, the only scientists that are going to tell you the real truth about the effects of pollution on the climate are those working for oil and coal companies; it's not like they have major conflicts of interest like the ones not profiting from the sale of pollutants...

[@Xantrah]

@Bob N there are many factors that are connected to climate change, most of which have no links to humans. Climate change has been happening since the formation of our planet and will continue until it ceases to exist. No scientist would disagree with that. I believe that the 'natural' factors contributing to the entropy we perceive as climate, like solar activity, the spin and tilt of the planet, volcanic activity, the ebb and flow of all organisms, the oceans, and countless other factors, big and small, will always be the dominant factors in aggregate affecting climate. But look at how humans have affected many of these factors. It's not just that we're burning massive amounts of fossil fuels, changing the natural composition of the air and atmosphere. It's not just that we've interrupted countless ecosystems, annihilating unimaginable numbers of entire species directly and indirectly. It's not just that we're mining, concentrating, and creating forms of radiation that we rain on each other for power, greed, and even defense. It's not just that we've changed the air, water and soil to forever include microplastics. It's the sum of all these things and more that affect our footprint on this planet, and the climate is affected by every factor. Entropy on this planet is a massive scale. With so many factors affecting each side of that scale in a delicate balance, it doesn't take something massive to tip that scale one way or the other. To put it another way; our presence isn't all the bails of hay loaded atop the camel, we're the last straw that's breaking the camels back.
