    Sure it’s climate change, and not greedy billionaires pushing neoliberalism (and fascism).

      The billionaires are trying to make an extra dollar before we all die from climate change.

      Both. They’re pushing fascism because they see the end is in sight due to climate change, and want to kill off the majority of us and enslave the rest.

    Again? I thought income inequality already upended it.

    If climate change upends it again, doesn’t that mean it would be right-side-up?

    Gotta love capitalist news for assuming that it’s a good thing to “accumulate wealth” by denying basic human needs in a pyramid scheme on finite land.
