The POINT of this was to ilustrate how fossil fuel propaganda diverts us from converstions about the climate crisis.

You hear a lot about wind turbines killing birds.
CATS kill many orders of magnitude more birds.
How come we hear about wind turbines killing birds all the time but not about cats doing that?
Witness the power of the fossil fuel companies and the way they are able to spread propaganda
Large numbers of people don't understand what a billionaire is.
If you, like most of us, ONLY make $1 million a year, it would take you 1,000 years to make $1 billion.
Or, if REALLY lie most of us, you make $50,000 a year, it would take you 20,000 years.
TWENTY THOUSAND YEARS!
If you tax someone who makes a billion a year at a 90% top rate, they would "only" take home $100 million a year.
I'm older so I remember things. Everything you see happening today should be understood this way:
The top tax rate used to be 90% in order to prevent the really rich from destroying democracy.
The corporate tax rate was 50% because corporations exist to serve society.
AND the inheritance tax was really high to keep family dynasties from gaining power over us.
