I think it's really cool how traditional media failed us at almost exactly the same time that disinformation exploded in social media. Isn't that fun?

This is how it's going to be. Help is not coming. There is no deus ex machina, there are no adults. Things will have to get worse before they can get better. I’m not going to spend the next four years boggling at whatever stupid shit is on that day’s agenda - save your energy for the big battles.

Yeah, I'm confused about a situation where we have the tech to make Mars habitable but not Earth? We can *only* terraform distant planets?
I hate hate hate hate these chodes who think we need to get to Mars to save humanity. There are zero scenarios that could ever make Earth as deadly as Mars. Zero.
