Simple Things You Can Do
Apply political pressure. The current "leadership" lacks the political will to not only alleviate the effects of climate change, but to do anything other than to serve their corporate (and 1%) overlords.
- Get the phone numbers for your federal-level politicians and let them know your views
- VOTE ... yes, we all know the vote is "rigged" ... but the more people who vote, the more obvious the corruption will become
Don't give up hope ... check out our training and cloud services. We can help you launch a new career or get your business online quickly and affordably. Without the stress of worrying about how you're going to get money to pay the rent or feed your family, you'll be in a better position to VOTE 'EM OUT and also to save our planet. It's the only one we've got.
Climate Change
What we should all be talking about right now is climate change and Global Warming. I find it personally incredible that such an obvious issue is not being discussed in the mainstream media. Finally ... a good report on this in The Economist of all places!
The evidence staring us in the face: we read about it in the news every day, but it seems that very few people are willing to connect the dots and ask the simple question: what do the out-of-control wildfires in Australia, California, Greece and Sweden(!), have in common with extended hurricane seasons, and melting ice caps? Most climate scientists give us, i.e. the human race, eleven more years before this planet goes past the tipping point and starts sliding down to become uninhabitable for human life. The 1% ruling elites know this pretty well. They're preparing their bunkers and private armies. Also ... why do you think several billionaires are all of sudden interested in getting into outer space and Mars? Question. Think. Act!!!
