he probably instinctively understands that california will just short the feds on taxes for the necessary funds somehow if he fucks around

whereas he knows that he can bully places like PR and NC

I’m glad this thread is now the rolling climate environmental disaster thread

in case you aren’t feeling nihilistic enough, the increase in wild fires is also causing more rising sea levels.

a lot of the soot winds up on Greenland / arctic ice, which makes the ice less reflective so it melts more!

wheeeee!

rising sea levels put out the wildfires bing bong problem solved

I had a wild experience volunteering at one of the shelters. A woman from the Republican woman's club stopped by with bags of random stuff she collected from the group. She still had her I voted sticker on her dress.

The bag had an open roll of paper towels, a glass bottle of ginger beer, Mexican candy in an odd unlabelled bag, a woman's blouse, and a dog toy. She held it in front of me and said they got it for cheap and the told me to play with it. Okay, my 12 houre shift was ending in 20 minutes, we could send the donations somewhere else, just play along.

Then she keeps asking to take a peak of the shelters dorm area. I keep telling her no peaking and getting in the way So she gets mad, complains about this being a public place, and says she's leaving with the rest of the stuff she was going to bring in. Which she does.

The experience was demeaning, but those feelings have given way to curiosity about what the other bags had.

Excuse me, can't you see I am donating random crap here? That means I can treat the people in the shelter like exhibits at a zoo! Also, that I own you. If that's how you treat your betters, I'm taking my half used roll of toilet paper and sack of bees and leaving!

I think it's this. Charity is not meant to help the recipients, it's meant to subordinate them to the donors. Being a donor and being told "no" defeats the whole point.

I was looking for videos on YouTube and stumbled across a bunch of conspiracy theory videos about California wildfires. Apparently the general consensus among crazy people is that Chem trails have been spraying accelerants all over California, which are then ignited by military airplanes shooting lasers at them. I would past a video but they are all really long and totally unwatchable

I doubt it, there's more graphic stuff than that on youtube, it's got a graphic content warning, and it's a pretty significant document of what's going on in a rich white part of the world, it's not just some kid uploading an execution video to shock people with.
