At best your coal plants freeze shut (because decades of neoliberal horseshit means you have no regulations to protect your power grid from weather,) you lose TV for an evening and Tucker Carlson can blame it on windmills. That's as far as it goes.
I think America can either go the way of the 60s and flirt with revolution, or go Mad Max. Things are more likely to be the former imo.
Either way America's going to have to deal with the fact that it's not going to be King of the World for too much longer. China will pass them by 2050 at the latest imo. I'll be interested to see how the US faces that.
Spoon, what is your view on the MAGAlution that happened at the Capitol? Good or bad for the country? And was Trump responsible, and/or should he face consequences for it?
