There's a poll from January in that article that asked Americans what should be the top priority for the President and Congress in 2022.
Addressing climate change was #14. Defending against terrorism was #6.
Unless we see the collapse of capitalism in the global north and subsequent rise of socialism (or maybe a massive Carrington event), the biosphere of this planet is utterly and completely fucked.
I fucking hate these polls and how they chop everything up into separate issues. All kinds of issues contribute to "the economy" but apparently climate change, covid, wars, sanctions, healthcare, and such are just all "lower priority" than "jobs" and "gas prices", so we don't need to think about those things
This is the dumbest thing I've ever read, and I've read several other Noah Smith articles before.
Exactly. Also, a significant part of the reason the GND failed was because party leadership called it unrealistic and ridiculous. Dem voters completely respond to that
I am not going to read the article and proudly proclaim that this guy just watched Ghost in the Shell SAC_2045 and then decided the whole global sustainable war economy thing sounded tight
Love how most Americans would support higher gas taxes but not higher taxes on the wealthy :bootlicker:
Political science departments should be heavily fined for churning out people like Noah. At least he's already living in a hell of his own creation where he goes online every single day to say something stupid and gets made fun of.
