Since voting in elections is widely known to be ineffective, we are now told by the propaganda organs to vote with our dollars.
Great idea. If I had enough dollars, I would buy solar panels and supply my own electricity. I would put in geo-thermal, and use the earth to cool my house.
That would be the major flaw to voting with your dollars. Very few of us have any.
But you know who does? Major corporations. So here's a grievance that I have.
My city, like most others, gives my tax money to giant corporations so that they will come to my town and bestow jobs upon us. We beseech them like primitives sacrificing animals or virgins for crops. We sacrifice land, money and infrastructure.
I went to Lowe's the other day. They have probably over 2 acres of parking lot. Why? There are never that many people at Lowe's.
Anyway, I like to park in the shade, so that my car will be cool, since I usually have my dog, and my car air conditioning doesn't work very well.
In those 2+ acres, they have about 12 spindly saplings, not capable of throwing shade.
Why can't they have parking sheds, with the roofs covered with solar panels? Sacramento, California, has the fairgrounds with such parking lots.
The solar panels could be used to shade the cars, and provide electricity for the building's air conditioning, instead of burning coal.
Instead, Lowe's was busily re-blacktopping the parking lot! Causing it to retain that much more heat! Why would you paint two acres black at the beginning of summer?
This is insane.
And if we lived in a sane society, it would be easy to implement sane solutions. But we don't.

A sane society! What's that? The world has gone mad.
We are perched on the edge of a nuclear precipice and the U.S. gives Israel more weapons. The U.S. is fueling the fire. WW3 is nearly here.
Given that no one will survive it, it seems rather futile. A Pyrrhic victory. And caused by a nation that was supposed to herald the New World.
How ironic!
