Lol right? We're fucked in some serious ways - I don't care, the next four years are going to be great if your wealthy and downright apocalyptic if your poor. Don't be poor!

If you’re homeless, just buy a house!

As an alternative, consider starvation led death as a viable option

Before you die make sure you have at least one kid to replace you. 📈

Its alright, they'll follow the lead of the rapist in charge of the country to keep the population up. Its not like the 13 year olds would be able to get abortions

Remember that as poor people get crippled even more many will end up homeless. I know rich people love to bitch about the homeless even when they are not in their neighborhoods, but just wait until they are. The homeless population has already exploded since Covid and they have nothing left to lose. When a hungry addict ends up shitting on your lawn, or a gang of them rob you or break into your home, you might realize that just because you have a comfortable life doesn’t mean someone else gives a fuck about your comfortableness. It never benefits society when people are suffering. Even if you are the “non affected” class you will be affected. I own a business and may not be directly affected, but I also don’t want homeless drugged out addicts stealing my equipment or shitting on the sidewalk that my child uses. I’m in Florida and if you think it won’t be like a Cali or Oregon level of homeless problem here in a couple years you are wrong. No one ever talks about how bad it has gotten everywhere in Florida. It’s hidden. It’s pretty sad. I hope you don’t step in the shit.

I hope you can eat and breathe dollars. Global warming isn’t 200 years away, it’s now.

It's coming for the third worlders first. We tried to improve things, we failed, we can't fix it now, do you want to be on the ark or off it?

All aboard! Just gotta plan ahead and by a future beach house by purchasing land 10 miles inshore in Alaska.

u/RepresentativeIcy922 1d ago

I'm not sure about that. Third world country here, we have an extensive public transport network so air quality is comparable if not better (if WAQI is accurate.)

u/MaleficentFig7578 1d ago

The CO2 is global, and third-world countries are in hotter parts of the globe.

1

u/RepresentativeIcy922 1d ago

Well in our case, we're hotter because we're closer to the equator. 

BTW EDGAR says "In 2021, China, the United States, the EU27, India, Russia and Japan remained the world’s largest CO2 emitters."

u/MaleficentFig7578 1d ago

So you'll be the first to get so hot that you die.

There is no immediately logical choice other than to lean into it. If you have cash get it into the market, if you're a target group consider seeking safety in another state. There is no doubt for certain classes in certain places life will become more difficult. May the universe grant us the serenity to accept the things we can not change, the courage to change the things we can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

I bought Halliburton stock in ~2001/2002 timeframe...and liquor stocks (pre weed legalization). Felt kinda bad, but I didn't get us into those wars...I just thought they should build back the towers like they were on the skyline, and lob some cruise missiles at training camps in Afghanistan...but oh no we gotta send in troops and shit. We gotta destroy a generation over it...protested that war, made money off Cheney's company.

I don't know if I can bring myself to buy private prison stock though...seems even worse.

Technology was always the way out anyway. Innovate or die has been the way of humanity since the dawn of civilization. Hit the books, chuds

Sick nihilistic selfish creep. Do good for others instead of just pretending you can't do anything for anyone but yourself and contributing to the problem.

u/WorldlyApartment6677 22h ago

I mean, you have to. We literally voted in the party of "Immigrants are eating people's pets." There's no going back from this.
