re: #11 Destro

It’s not that simple. There’s plenty of people who understand the danger, who aren’t oligarchs, and who still aren’t doing shit to change it. The truth is that our economy is stuck making goods that people want to buy right now, and it’s woefully inadequate for dealing with long-term needs like anti-AGW stuff. This is why we need to have a much larger segment of our economy be a command economy; too much money spent on worthless crap, not enough spent on stuff that’s vital for the survival of humanity.
