we all got cowed into avoiding "virtue signaling" as if the public affirmation of socially agreed upon ethical principles was somehow cringey instead of a significant part of what a "society" even is. now all there's left is vice signaling, and it's reshaping society.

Trump says every "drug boat" equals 25,000 American lives saved.
Juan Orlando Hernandez trafficked 400 tons of cocaine — the equivalent of 200 drug boats.
By Trump's own formula, he just pardoned a man who "killed" 5 million Americans.

Continued growth is just *assumed* in every economic model of the relationship between temperatures and growth.
