I'm upset with the trade deficit I have with my grocery store. I buy much more from them than they buy from me. So I'm putting a 5% tariff on everything I buy from them. That will teach them. I am a genius.

I'm still not seeing the utility in using the word "feudalim" to refer to imperialist capitalism. While there are properties of imperialist capitalism that are similar to those of feudalism, they're still two completely different systems with properties that arose under different conditions. Imperialist capitalism and its properties already have names, and using the word "feudalism" to refer to it or its properties adds unnecessary confusion to conversations about imperialist capitalism.

This graph is denialist BS. First the current CO2 level is 420 PPM. Second the natural CO2 level is 280 PPM, not 384 PPM, so their "CO2 human" value is only off by 875%.

Humans have increased the CO2 content of the atmosphere by 50%. That increase has trapped the energy equivalent about 3.4 billion Hiroshima bombs, and is trapping the energy equivalent of more than 10 more every second.

Some of those bombs went off on the Gulf coast and in Appalachia. Ignore this at your own peril.

@freemo @argv_minus_one @stevebenen Don't forget an association of doctors, the AMA, acting as a med-school gatekeeper, ensuring that the supply of doctors will never be sufficient to reduce their astronomical salaries. People must die so that doctors can be exceptionally rich.
