Symptoms of greed and decline
by David Atkins
This screencap is from the front page of the L.A. Times as I write:
Notice a trend?
A near-record heat wave is causing wildfires all across California. These increasing heat waves are a direct product of climate change. One of the fires threatens a nuclear plant.
Big ag and fracking are both causing earthquakes.
There’s a shortage of nurses to actually take care of people.
And the big internet service providers are lobbying heavily to stop the FCC from classifying the Internet as a utility, something that should have been done two decades ago.
These are the signs of a society in decline, and in the grips of plutocrats. When do people get angry enough to start doing something about it?
