Doomers have no problem helping the hospice dwellers be comfortable. Where we do have a problem is with giddy idiots telling the hospice people that hopium is the new wonder drug that will magic away the consulted reality. But hey! Be delusional! We can fix this!

I remember the days of foot & mouth in the UK, and the performative theatre of farmers crying because their herds would have to be destroyed. The herds that would have been killed for meat anyway. They were crying for themselves - which would be fair enough, if they were honest about it. Meat=murder

If I had the funds, I'd quite like one. There's a win-a-house raffle in the UK, & a couple of years ago they had one with an underground cinema room. My imagination went wild thinking about how I'd convert it into a bunker 😍 I wouldn't expect to survive, but it would be nice to get away from it all!

Kinda looking that way, hey? I generally prefer to ignore the economic side of things and focus on the climate - but they're intertwined, and the economic woes are getting too loud to ignore.

All roads lead to doom.
