The issue is not that we don’t have solutions to humanity’s problems. The issue is that people with solutions don’t have the power, and people with power too often don’t want to hear about real solutions. 1/3

At a certain point, you can’t have it both ways. You can either prioritize the survival of your democracy, species and planet, or you can allow the dictates of an unfettered capitalist economy to take priority over those things. 2/3

In theory it’s supposed to be government’s job to broker a balance between individual liberty - including economic liberty - with concern for the Common Good. In fact the former now reigns at the expense of the latter, putting humanity into a tailspin. 3/3

If they don't have power they are probably blowing smoke up themselves imagining they they have the answer, little knowing they don't. Hubris, ego conflation, tribally evoked beliefs. Many others know, but not them. But they talk about it.

It’s time for you to leave the Democratic Party and get behind growing movements while calling for a mass workers party. Begging the oligarch captured parties will not get the goods. Planet’s on fire and all.

As @richardbranson has said re environmental exceptions for airlines, the reason we don't have clean fuel planes is not because it's not possible, it's lack of political will and powerful vested interests in 20th Century infrastructure / fossil fuel technologies #ParadigmShift
