…if the USA can dig out of this massive hole it made for itself.
Citizens United must be overturned in order to make any positive progress. Otherwise, things will continue to deteriorate.
Thank you for your words of encouragement. I try to practice this as much as possible here and IRL. Take care.

He said the same thing the last time he was president. He’s full of shit.

Chris Remington@beehaw.orgOPMto Environment@beehaw.org•How much progress have we made on climate change?3·2 天前Most of the western world is bombarded by the news media bias and fear-mongering that gets more clicks, eyes and sells more papers. Rarely are we exposed to raw data/facts which Simon Clark’s videos are based on (i.e. scientific journals, academia, etc.). In summary, the world has made a lot of progress toward mitigating climate change.
I am sorry that you have to suffer from your parents. I too was abused by my parents. I spent approximately fifteen years in and out of therapy because of it. I encourage you to seek therapy because I know how effective it is at healing.
Take care.

I’m sorry to hear about your condition. Please keep us informed of your situation and let us know if you have a way for us to get you some money if need be.

The Republican party has only served the 1% (e.g. oil companies, etc) for fucking decades.

Chris Remington@beehaw.orgMto Space@beehaw.org•Jim Lovell, Apollo 13 Commander Who Thrived Under Pressure, Dies at 979·5 天前He had a long life. Good for him.
I’m proud to be his brother, yes.
So your brother will be personally funding beehaw beginning next year, right?
LOL…But seriously, if I asked him, then he would gladly make a donation. This gig happened to a relatively good person. He is a generous, kind and loving person.
Story time!
My brother worked, as a salesperson, for one of the largest textile companies in the world for 13 years. And he did it all from home (i.e. telecommuting). Rarely ever saw or spoke to his “boss”…very close to being self-employed.
Then another textile company (very large competitor) offered him a similar position…similar in every way except for pay.
First year guaranteed $250,000 (he is almost one third through)
Second year guaranteed $500,000.
Third year guaranteed $1,500,000.
Neither him nor his boss knows what will happen after that…they’ve kept it open.

I’m certain everything will be great in the end (no pun intended). Take care friend. I wish you the best.
Hang in there. You are going to make it through this. Take care.
Feeling more sane now that I’m out of the environment causing me stress…
Would you be willing to be more specific about “the environment”?

Right. Thankfully there is a global plastic pollution treaty in the works and organizations, such as The Ocean Cleanup, that are working to rid the oceans of plastics.
