On the global climate catastrophe story, I wonder if a new "The Day After" movie would be enough to shock people into action. I think you're a bit younger than me, and it was touchy for me to watch it with my folks at age 9 in 1983, so you might not recall the power of that movie. It was fucking nightmare fuel. 62% of the American viewing audience watched a movie that accurately portrayed the reality of nuclear war, and it was all people talked about for days after. I think it brought the horror of a nuclear exchange into stark reality for people. And people reacted, pushing for further and more aggressive disarmament talks. Climate change isn’t a discrete event like hundreds of warheads detonating, and the immediate impacts are harder to predict, so maybe a similar approach wouldn't work, but I'd love to see something, anything!, shock a staid public into action, myself included.

2019-06-01 22:58:43 +0000 UTCI'm on the other side of the pond, but from here it looks like if Congress doesn't impeach, then you no longer follow your constitution. You won't have co-equal branches of government. Deal with that now, or you will lose the ability to do so.

2019-05-26 20:25:57 +0000 UTCI'm not entirely sure that faith in Nancy Pelosi is justified, I'm also fairly certain that being impeached is not the same as getting fired (apologies if I misunderstood).
