Lol you’re very hopeful. I’m old so I know those things in #1 are not real or effective. You can’t influence politics or policy without having the money to lobby (bribe).
And again I do everything possible for my part. But then I look over and see a rich guy undoing it all in a day and facing no consequences and it gives me a sense of “what’s the fucking point?”
That’s utter nonsense; I’ve seen people have a pretty dramatic impact on a shoestring. Especially at the local level, where simply showing up to comment at municipal government meetings makes a real difference.
The end goal is to eventually constrain the impact the wealthiest have.
Again I could be at such a task all my life, fighting against government to help the environment for four lifetimes, and a billionaire will undo all my life’s work with the snap of a finger and a location wedding for their rich friends.
