      Oh there will be vengeance… against the poor and the climate refugees sadly.

    “In the real world, the current transition strategy is visibly failing on most fronts as it collides with five hard realities,”

    He then counts each of his fingers as he forms them into a fist.

    paulie-point “And if anyone else tries to save the habitability of the planet at the expense of MY MONEY they’re going to continue colliding until they learn their lesson. Capisce?”

    The president of the leopard eating faces party would like to remind us all that wearing any kind of protective mask or helmet has been proven to be ineffective, and that he really really doesn’t like it when people wear them.
