Many tipping points have likely already been crossed. This means that a truly dire and threatening future lies ahead for the next generation. We’ve known this since the 1970s, but #capitalism could not be stopped.

April 1st really does make you feel like the butt-end of a joke...

Enjoy two of the entries I made.
