Today’s piece in the WSJ’s Climate and Energy section is called “The Problem With Stuff.”
It begins:
A Glass-Half-Full Look at the Gargantuan Carbon Footprint of Making Stuff
Every year, America gets through roughly 700 pounds of cement, nearly as much steel, 300 pounds of plastic and 25 pounds of aluminum per person. Providing the raw materials of modern life with far less emissions is starting to look tantalizingly possible, but the making-stuff business remains a laggard in its response to climate change.
“Making less stuff” is akin to morphing away from our consumer society, and it’s refreshing to see the WSJ talk about that, even obliquely.
IMO, what we are seeing here is the WSJ’s trying to position itself as dead-on “centrist” in their journalism. This is a distinct more to the left from their earlier conservative leaning; it would have fanciful to think of anything associated with climate change even a few years ago.
The Wall Street Journal’s Climate & Energy Column Doesn’t Mince Words
I have bad news for the young (32 years junior to her husband) ex-press secretary shown here (bad pic btw):
You’ve run out of people who a) are stupid enough to believe any of this, and b) even if they did believe it, many would not vote to keep Republicans in office after having enabled Trump to rape our nation.
As bad as our economy is, Democrats will make it worse?
Again, even the idiots are losing their patience with this garbage.
Truck drivers are spending large amounts of their own money to drive into traffic-ridden Washington D.C., flying American flags, the banner that has been usurped by the MAGA right, to protest Trump’s nonsensical war in Iran that has pushed diesel prices through the roof.
Hmmm. I’m suspicious.
At left we see yet one more reminder of the disaster taking place in the United States.
Our Founding Fathers made huge sacrifices for us, and we’ve seen fit to elect an insane dictator to run roughshod over our beloved Constitution.
We hear that democracies do not descend into authoritarian regimes overnight. That’s true, but what’s happened here has been quite rapid indeed.
