“I don’t understand it (pauses to pour various inedible compounds into another vat). There’s no way to explain why Americans don’t want to eat our delicious healthy snacks anymore. (Pauses to check with legal whether using the word “healthy” will hold up in court. Legal says it won’t, but Sales says to use it anyway.)”

This is not an actual quote, but it’s wild that they don’t understand the road that got them here. It’s just way too much trouble to read and research the package labels for basic safety, anymore. If there’s four or more ingredients, I probably just won’t buy it.

I fucking love snacks, but they took the fun out of it.

“Part of capitalist ideology is that no matter what the problem, there is a technical fix. Because if there is no technical fix, then there is something wrong with the society, and the defenders of the society do not want to believe this.”

Honestly, that’s a pretty generous take.

Part of today’s capitalism is “fuck you, I got mine”.

I don’t know if capitalism can or cannot be compatible with a living life supporting planet, but I agree that, forced to pick between the two, I’ll choose the living planet.

Capitalists who love capitalism need to get their asses in gear and prove it can save the planet, if they want to keep capitalism.

I’m counting on it!

It’s weird to me that billionaires are not actively campaigning to solve climate change.

I, personally, could happily die aged 87, on a clean planet, surrounded by family, on a small expensive boat.

Rather than at 67, on a mega yacht, in a toxic wasteland, surrounded by the bodies of dead body-guards.

It doesn’t seem like a really challenging choice, to me.

It’s not rocket science to see where this trend line leads. We should all cooperate to fix this shit, now, using laws and science.
