Two quick observations:

1) What do you call something that just grows and grows and never stops growing? Cancer.

2) The Secretary of Defense recently said, and I think this is verbatim: “DoD doesn’t do climate change crap.” Well, as you pointed out, military leaders have known for years that climate change is real; they call it a “threat multiplier.” Does SecDef know that his Navy is spending billions to keep its biggest Atlantic base (Norfolk VA and environs) above water? And not just the berths and dry docks, but also the web of supply routes into the base - they flood too.

Go see your Buffalo Philharmonic for some relief from the dismal world. It’s a great orchestra doing “Pops” programs as well as the symphonic literature. Support the Arts before they all get strangled or censored.

If you don't already read him, I would highly recommend Erik Michaels. In his latest post on Substack, he says:

"Now, all of the above is just a prepper for what comes next: the geopolitical shenanigans unleashing pain throughout the world. I've come across many people over the years who thought that "if we just get so-and-so elected, everything will be great." Those are the folks who suffer from the flawed thinking that there is a political solution to civilization (or any subset thereof), not recognizing that the entire system is unsustainable."
