And in case you're wondering if the world's carbon reduction and Green Energy efforts so far are helping, the answer is, not enough:
"Carbon dioxide emissions reached a record high in 2022"
And because I like pie charts:

I can imagine the convo:
#GQP Chair: "All our candidates are vile. How the Hell are we gonna win any elections?"
Q: "Easy, just convince GQP voters that the Dems are all worse. Much worse."
GQP Chair: "Worse? How?"
Q: "Well, who are your worst candidates?"
GQP Chair: "Well, we've got this guy who's a pedophile, and this woman who worships the devil."
Q: 😃
Who would've believed that "Make ourselves rich and blame the Dems for everything" would be a viable, long-term political strategy? 🤔
Democracy is in jeopardy because the obscenely rich don't want to be regulated in ANY way.
They've purchased their own political party & have significant money invested in the other.
If they're forced to submit to a government, they want that institution run by those who worship at the altar of capitalism (greed).
Propaganda is their most effective tool, wielded with deadly precision against the uneducated.
This is humanity in a nutshell, back to the dawn of recorded history.
Questions?

On my latest writer's blog, I discuss the book review service BookSirens. What is it? What do they offer? What do they deliver? What does it cost? #writing #WritingCommunity

On this morning's walk, Bugsy lifted his leg on a #TFG yard sign with his face on it, so I'm not sure if I should take it as some sort of omen, or just an indication of canine solidarity. 🤔 #politics #dogsofcoso
In a truly free society, we show respect and allow individuals to make choices within a fair system that prevents harm. Forcing everyone to follow one set of beliefs erodes respect for individual freedom and denies people the right to live according to their own values, which creates even further problems.
Philosopher John Stuart Mill said "Freedom isn’t absolute".
It only works when it doesn’t infringe on others’ rights to their own safety, dignity, and freedom.
