VERY cool! Nice to see that you've reversed your earlier positions and have proclaimed yourself to now be a political blogger.
So, your first job: how are you going to rectify, from a political standpoint, the utter stupidity of Extreme Rebellion, Oil In The Ground, and all the rest of the enviro-nutters that have gone after airports, planes, priceless paintings - and made lives a living hell by blocking traffic all over and all the time? As I have asked multiple times before, what is now your [political] marketing going to be that will assure people that their lifestyles will be better, more convenient, and less stressful without giving up anything they have now, to vote your way?
Those insects and the WEF saying "You'll own nothing AND be happy" is a bit of a speedbump, isn't it?
Welcome to my world - and you thought talking tech building specs and emissions was hard...
...oh, I owe you a donation - will do so later this week.
First off, everyone who has the legal right to vote SHOULD be voting; it's your civic duty, regardless of who wins or loses. Secondly, is it not an admission of defeat that change *at the individual level* and corporate commitments to reducing emissions together have failed to move the needle on lowering our emissions? The only alternative then is, unsurprisingly, voting for people who will fundamentally change our lives at the societal level—up to and including all those things that have been talked about ad nauseum in the past:
• "You'll own nothing and be happy"
• The push for dietary alternative foodstuffs, including "fake meat", normalizing the consumption of bugs, and synthesized lab-grown "meat"
• Banning gas stoves, gas water heaters, gas/oil boilers, etc.
• Banning the sale of ICE vehicles
... and more. The reality is, corporations play the consumer for the suckers they are. If they think that pushing the net zero agenda will earn them loyalty by their customers, they'll do it. It's not altruistic, it's just business. I liken their green initiatives to creative accounting measures—Lloyd's satirical post about 4th level carbon emissions speaks volumes about just how ridiculous the corporate accounting policies truly are, largely based on them buying offsets. (I recall the Catholic Church sold indulgences in the early 16th century to atone for one's sins as well—and were equally successful at saving the lives of the people being preached to.)
The point is, a government that controls all aspects of life—for whatever reason, regardless of how noble a goal it may be—is, without a doubt, tyrannical and intrusive. It is the very antithesis of freedom, and it will be fought to the bitter end by people who value freedom above life. It's interesting to note that as time goes on and the climate "crisis" grows increasingly closer to those magic cut-off dates of catastrophic collapse, the louder the cries of voluntarily handing over freedom to the elite so they may govern us because we're too stupid on our own to make decisions that suit OUR needs and priorities ON OUR OWN.
In other words, every day the battle cry between freedom and tyranny grows louder. At some point, the silent majority will be pushed too far, and do to the American globalist hypocrites what the Founding Fathers did to King George V. And I welcome that day so that sanity can be finally restored.
"If they think that pushing the net zero agenda will earn them loyalty by their customers, they'll do it."
Or other assorted nostrums. Right now, thanks to Robby Starbucks spotlighting , we are seeing one large corporation after another ditch the DEI craze: Harley-Davidson, Ford, John Deere and the latest one being Toyota. Why? Because their customers TOLD them. The Left has successfully done such consumer boycotts for decades; the RIght has just learned how its done and is now employing the same tactics.
Frankly, I just want my vendors to just Do. Their. Jobs. and supply goods and services at great value price points - I don't need their politics one way or the other.
"what matters now is <b>political</b>change."
