I'll look and see if I can find it.

I linked to the youtube version. It's a HBO production so there may be a copy on HBO Now.

I am more than cynical about US industry's response to the Paris accord withdrawal. As large multinationals they must comply in order to sell into markets overseas. They don't care about the climate. They care about loosing US market share.

Global warming is a scam meant to justify complete control of the economy, or else the private jet setters who tell people to stop eating beef are sociopaths who think it's true but don't care, or both

[AFAIK]

No true scotsman would eat food or use electricity if he truly believed in his heart of hearts in protecting the environment.

The American presidency is, in many ways, sort of an elected monarchy, in which a temperamentally and intellectually unqualified leader can do immense damage.

That’s what’s happening now. And we’re barely one-tenth of the way through Trump’s first term. The worst, almost surely, is yet to come.

Most Americans don’t have any stocks to their name. In fact, many Americans don’t even have any savings to their name. Those 25 to 34 have a median amount saved for retirement in the sum of zero dollars. So this incredible stock market has largely produced nothing for most American families.



Nope, no damage. Everything is fine ^.

There are a variety of types of monarchies from absolute authorities to constitutional monarchies. What sets all monarchies apart from Trump's set-up is the former have staff who understand the states of affairs, and Trump doesn't. And that's possibly why you fear the worst is yet to come,

Just remember, almost everything is correctable

Except possibly the accrued damaged Re climate change.

Congratulations on setting the bar at the highest possible point for cherry picking!
