In a time when our planet is racing downhill into the chaos of Climate Catastrophe,

the entire political world, led by our super rich and corporate overlords, is a willful clusterfuck, an orchestrated tempest in a teapot, a clamor of misdirection and false imperatives so in grained in societies as to systematically overwhelm factual, scientific reason and the focused, universal response required in the few minutes remain8ng of our eleventh hour.

I’m a grandfather and it simply breaks my heart I must encourage my grandchildren to prepare to adapt. Any official help for their futures will be terminally minimal and hopelessly late.
