“The companies lied,” said Richard Wiles, president of fossil-fuel accountability advocacy group the Center for Climate Integrity (CCI), which published the report. “It’s time to hold them accountable for the damage they’ve caused.”
Well, you’ve proven yourself. I’ll stop reading revolutionary theory and call my representative Monday.
Even Marxists who live in a democratic country could potentially benefit from speaking to their local elected representative. Beats waiting around for a revolution that will never come.
I’m old. I’ve written. Emailed. Called, and voted my entire life. The political landscape is not getting better. It’s getting worse.
At least you can look at yourself in the mirror; you tried. The only thing any of us could be asked to do. Don’t let cynicism ruin you.

Take care.
And that is why nothing happens…
Take care.
