I usually find Robert Reich's heart to be in the right place, but his policy suggestions to be too-little-too-late, at best. I had to stop reading him/watching his videos because, while his cartooning was really entertaining, and he seemed to understand problems fairly well, he seemed to believe that the system still worked for everyday people. I would argue that it has *never* actually worked for everyday people, but it absolutely doesn't today. His proposals rely on going through "the right channels" and all that, and yet he never acknowledged that those channels were long since cut off to those of us without billions to buy politicians.
Chicklet will likely end his days in an attempt to steal water or food from a similarly intelligent, similarly-armed (but better shot) “prepper/survivalist.”
I'm sure with Chucky cheeses obvious superior intelligence that he had his underground bunker built 3 ft above high tide mark so he'll drown the first hurricane tidal surge or from the 40ft tidal wave from the Antarctica ice shelf falls into the ocean. Expensive shore frontage is in vogue after all- "Look at the view!"
In reality -
My guess is he lives in a trailer park somewhere in Arkansas with Trump posters plastered all over his trailer and tuna cans opened with a knife all over his yard. His bunker is likely a 55 gal. Hefty plastic trash can stocked with lots of canned tuna and Cheetos. You should be kind to him and remind him to stock up on Keystone beer for the duration.
Hilarious. What a f**kwit. Well done for engaging. I usually can't be bothered. Chuckles the Chump will find himself kissing the shoes of the lesser mortal he once employed to protect him in his idiot bunker, when his money and status become worthless, and the real power in that cloistered place flows, naturally, to the folks with real world skills. Good luck to him. I hope he likes the taste of boot polish.
Clunky is somewhat correct, “De-growth” is a major issue/problem. Even if done in an orderly manner, how do you separate that from a command economy? Or is that always a bad thing? Bureaucrats, the epitome of incompetence, managing anything, is scary. The Great Depression was really only about 10% drop in GDP, and we need to wind GDP out of existence. Flying must end, stay on the ground. Reduce energy consumption to world per-capita average or less. Grow most of your own food. Remember, life in a city is just a long-term hotel stay, it has nothing to do with life. Everything, EVERYTHING, you learned in school is wrong, “middle-class” life is totally incompatible with this planet. Most importantly, the concept of “Progress” must be severely curtailed. Therefore, Robert Reich cannot answer your question.
I learned long ago that it is a waste of time and energy to try to reason with someone who does not live in the real world. You will never convince them of anyting. I try to stay far, far away from them. They are usually very unhappy people and must pay for their vitriole by living with themselves.
There are other, more reasonable people who are actually looking for information and are open to discussion. These are the ones to reach, and I believe that their numbers are growing. The only question is, will it be in time?

Thanks for the laugh. It made my day.
I didn’t know the government told us about climate change. I thought that was scientists all over the planet. Wow

The Mark Twain quote couldn't be more perfect....
