thre is no breaking point

its all a lie

:matters:

This is wrong because the actual breaking point occurs when people realize they will die soon and their life has no value. That may have happened if the Graham-Cassidy bill passed but the mattering is on hold for now.

This is why the real health care bill repeal will be prefaced by tactically stripping 2A rights from the sick and ill before they pass it.

good read: https://grist.org/article/6-reasons-post-maria-puerto-rico-could-be-a-katrina-like-disaster/

This was a neat thing I didn't know that jumped out:

quote:

Last year, the Supreme Court ruled that Puerto Rico couldn’t file for bankruptcy under Chapter 9, which permits local American governments to restructure debt. That decision is based on an inexplicable amendment to Chapter 9 law by South Carolina Senator Strom Thurmond in 1984 that specifically excludes Puerto Rico. All this essentially cements Puerto Rico’s status as a modern day colony.

Every time there's an unprecedented heat wave or weather event it's always shrugged off as "well one event doesn't indicate climate change is happening!"

Nah we're getting to the point where the microclimate signal is so strong that the deniers can't hide behind statistical uncertainty. Coincidentally, that's also around the point that it gets too late to deal with before we go full Permian-Triassic.

why do you think that showing them another graph called "increased microclimate signal" would change anything

because when people realize that what they thought was their grandkids problem is actually their own problem a lot more representatives are going to have to come to terms with the fact that they've allowed their populace to arm up very quickly
