As a representative democracy we are doing it wrong when none of the candidates represent the majority. They represent business and special interests that’s it.
That being said republicans are in the pockets of the most backwards ass religious folks… So that’s is definitely worse when they continue to shit on our constitution for that group.
So sleepy Joe it is.
Meanwhile in TX we are hitting record heat indexes after last year hitting “record # of days above 100” and coming off another once a century drought lol
people are so dumb it’s painful to watch. This particular guy seems to be up north. His watchers better prepare because everyone’s moving that way. Entire contitnents are going to start migrating to them sooner than we realize.
well currently in the US religion is fighting progress and religion is what half the bills in Texas that just passed were based on. Abortion is sceince, but religion is what has caused it to lose legality. Religion ignores science. Same thing going on with climate change… religion says humans aren’t doing this… Science disagrees, but here we are.
So yeah religion is the thing. not just being an asshole. It’s written into the various religions (who all think the other is wrong by the way) that this is the way to be. To deny science is the right choice of action for them.
religion is what gives them cause to act on their shitty way of thinking. It gives them an excuse that they can then go to sleep thinking they’ve done right.
Without religion society would come down so fucking hard on them for their shitty ass views… Sadly lots of people are religious so even those that don’t agree, agree that it’s against god or w/e stupid ass shit they come up with.
These areticles are 100% written by big oil. It’s quite literally propaganda. They are going so hard in the paint to try and slow down EV adoption. The IEA predicted we are going to hit peak demand by 2030. I think personally that they are way off and we’ll get there far sooner, but peak demand means terminal decline in oil demand.
It’s the beginning of the end for them and they are scared.
Random people I talk with spout out nonsense about battery fires burning down your house. It’s already getting through to a lot of people.
Hilariously gas is highly combustible and ICE car fires are sooooo freaking common you just never hear about them lol.
“those deadbeat parents should’ve got an abortion if they can’t feed their kid” --republicans probably
I can’t for the life of me understand why people are so bent out of shape about a brand supporting the trans community. Hate is their whole identity
yeah you’d think when temps hit 114 like nothing they’d start to question what they know. Especially when every day for the foreseeable future is going to be near these crazy ass temps.
But no… “It’s always been hot”
Sadly it’s going to be when we have actual water rationing or the oceans have flooded the barrier islands that we built on that people will start to be worried about it. By then it’ll be way too late, and they’ll blame anyone except the politicians they voted for.
At this point we have to science our way out of this shit. We have a lot of governments with tons of money who could all contribute to the most powerful science team ever to exist and funnel funds to fight it.
Instead we are still arguing over if it’s even happening.
The world is on fire and people just don’t give a shit. We’re more worried about keeping oil prices low than we are about rising oceans lol.
Through the month of june where I am in the south it’s going to be record breaking temperatures every day. Facing 111f this weekend and next Tuesday 114f.
This is in TX and those temps are IN THE SHADE… people are complaining that it’s hot, but still not talking about climate change.
I blame our media companies. They are owned by people who need capitalism to just power on because that’s their livelyhood and they are close enough to death and far enough north not to care. If our local weather people just talked about it every day and explain all these climate events as part of the great climate change I think people would start to care more and thus vote for people who care.
Sadly, at least in Texas, people flat out don’t believe it because they were raised thinking that anything you don’t believe in isn’t true and anything you believe in is totally true.
Irony that the worship of a supposed creator is also going to be the ruination of our species.
Something tells me he wont be her husband for much longer. Statistically speaking relationships where the spouse has to go to jail for over a decade tend to not work out.
Sad shit
lol. I mean yeah I get what you are saying, but I know these people exist already because our own politicians are saying the same thing… Completely ignoring the indictment and that this is just an attack blah blah… Yet they wont comment on the actual charges. Sad really. Good chance for everyone to talk about how justice will prevail one way or the other through our justice system and that no one is above the law. Instead they are literally saying that the ex president is literally above the law. Need a RL downvote button
yeah that’s one major downside to lemmy. Forced to see these sort of braindead takes lol
GOP is busy listening to pod casts that’s how they get all their information. They only know how to use their phones so it makes sense that they can’t actually explore the web and open their minds.
Hence letting the religious fruitcakes take over and continue to push wild conspiracy theories and ignore science as their main party platform.
What you are seeing is literally because the people you identify with are mostly fucking idiots. You should be so proud!
