    Problem is, for the people that have the power to make these appointments, it’s a feature, not a bug.

    They went from thinking that it was just alarmist scientists talking nonsense to ok it might be real but it won’t affect us until everyone currently living is already dead to ok it might affect some of us living right now but it won’t affect their generation to ok so people are already being affected by it and it’s killing boomers and older (and younger) generations as we speak, but it won’t affect the rich.

    I’m curious if they are still in that stage or have moved on to thinking it just won’t affect the wealthy (and their support staff) even if the rich are somewhat vulnerable. And if we’re lucky, there might even still be time once they realize that their support staff won’t be enough to keep the world going once the labour classes die off and that any attempts to run an environment completely cut off from the rest of earth has either failed or required injections from the outside environment to continue.
