    Yeah … I don’t see much good happening in the next few decades.

    We’re going to have major crisis, famine, migrations, war and environmental collapse all over the place and the first thing governments and corporations will think about and act on is … the economy.

    Big money interests will casually watch millions suffer and die and they won’t react until it starts affecting their wealth.

    The climate crisis was caused by runaway greed, it will be exacerbated by runaway greed and humanity will delay it’s response to all of it because of runaway greed … and chances are, our global civilization will be destroyed because of runaway greed.

      Nothing to add. This hits the nail on the head.

      Looking at recent developments, we will have a few more years of pretending all is normal before it becomes so bad that the looming existential catastrophes will be undeniable for most, if not all.

      Then it’ll be too late.

      Probably already is.

      You keep repeating “runaway greed” like it’s a bad thing.

      My investors don’t like that, how much will it cost to get you to stop saying that?

      Nvm, I’m just gonna threaten your family and attack your dignity. More money for me!
