Lots of "pay taxes instead, Bezos!" as though - climate change is suddenly kinda meh - subsidies/tax breaks are unilaterally created by the people to whom they are offered - a federal gov operating on $4,746B this year alone is ~$10B short of fixing climate change themselves

I'm *really* excited by initiatives on this scale from people like Bezos, because he at least has the money and talent (people). Government is absolutely loaded but has great difficulty identifying and retaining talent. (Don't get me started on ideas...)https://twitter.com/webdevMason/status/1168375858832084992?s=20 …

tbh, the cynicism is annoying enough for the undergirding "meh" sentiment alone — like, the second Bezos decides to take a real crack at it climate change is no longer an all-hands-on-deck imminent existential threat, but more of a checklist item post socialist revolution

What really irritates me is just that I don't think very many people actually care. This isn't how people act when they care. When your house is on fire, you don't start asking around to figure out whether the firefighters are pure enough of heart to put the fucking thing out

Imagine if we all just started calling these people out as climate deniers

IMO, you can add all the candidates who wax poetic about decommissioning nuclear when they know perfectly fucking well that this would immediately spike fossil fuel consumption, as it has everywhere it's been implemented. Sanders? Warren? Climate deniers with national platforms

"Y'ain't sober if ya show up drunk to the meetings" is my southern-style aphorism for this flavor of nonsense
