Where $30 trillion trickled down
I always said, if you give $30 trillion to the rich, some of it will trickle down, but most of it will trickle down in the Cayman Islands and to their personal servants and chauffeurs. Sometimes I used Turks & Caicos or the Bahamas, same difference. We'll see if any of their karma is coming back to them as this hurricane passes through.Deep down, I have a hard time not getting behind the earth in its last-ditch effort to get our attention before the big election. What, you're about to elect someone who doesn't believe in climate change? Is it not obvious that things are more extreme, hotter, more violent (in terms of weather), more delicate? The earth is on its last legs so to speak. I'm proud of it and grateful that it doesn't give up without a fight. But that means a lot of pain for people. Florida, underwater; Texas too probably. New Orleans, a goner. Forest fires from California down to southern New Mexico.
Is there still an argument that there's no such thing as climate change? Or are there people who voted for him, tired of paying the price for environmental caution, all behind his ideas of backing right out of the Paris Accords, bringing back dirty coal and giving huge tax breaks to the oil boys, wiping the deck on solar and wind - yeah they liked that at the time, but - do they still feel that way? I hope this summer makes that kind of denial impossible.
I`myself feel that maybe it should be obvious, but we can't really have someone so clueless about climate change at the helm. We just can't.
