Back when I was working as a Climate Change Adaptation Specialist, one of the most horrifying facts I can never forget is that even if we somehow stopped all emissions today, global warming will continue for ~40 years before things stabilize at a temperature higher than normal.
Fun fact. Howard Lutnick missed work on 9/11 because he was bringing his son to school..for the first time ever he decided to be a dad. And the date of that school starting has not been confirmed. He lost everyone in his company that day. He also made an automated system that allowed him to not hire back the majority of people killed bc it took their jobs. He also sued American Airlines and won to the tune of $30 some odd million. He took the money and again, didn't have to replace anyone. He also cut off health insurance and payments to the families within 2 weeks. This matters because it sets the stage as to who he is as a human and sets the stage for what he's doing now. Coming tomorrow......bc f*ck you you child predator

ME: "My job pays $50,000. Yours paid $35,000 in 1970. Adjusted that's $270,000."
BOOMER: "That can't be right."
ME: "It is. Your salary grew with inflation. Food prices grew faster."
BOOMER: "You're just complaining."
ME: "You're just not looking at the math."
You didn't have better budgeting skills. You had wages that kept up with the cost of living.

I would say happy birthday, America, but unfortunately I love abortions and immigrants and public education and universal healthcare and Black people and the environment and not bombing children with my tax dollars.
