Americans are being pressured towards a state of "total work", in which every waking moment is occupied with one's job.

Referring to writers and artists as "content-producers", as the article does, is a reflection of this change. Please join me in refusing to describe works of art or authorship as "content".

The next stage of global heating will be that of "climate apartheid".

People with more wealth and/or privilege will move to places that are safer from global heating effects.

I forecast that this will be temporary. Once global heating cuts into food production, while population growth leads to more demand for food, increasing numbers will be trapped in hunger. And if wars disrupt the globalized manufacturing system, technology will crash.

There are millions of people who imagine surviving this on their own. That is a pipedream. You can't stockpile a lifetime's worth of food and computers, Even solar cells need to be replaced eventually. In a Mad Max world, only a tiny fraction will survive even 20 years. You are not likely to be one of them.

The only way we can all survive — or at least most people — is to do it together. We have to avoid the situation that will cause climate apartheid.

That means, Sanders for President!

The new NAFTA is a lot less bad than the previous one. But it is still bad, as Sanders points out.

(satire) *Jared Kushner held a press conference Wednesday to make assurances that the administration’s Israel plan would relocate all Palestinians to a generous swath of the Mediterranean Sea.*

*Pacific Islanders have been experiencing climate-induced disasters for years, now they have reached Australia.*

The UK is systematically deporting to Jamaica people who have lived in Britain since they were children — in some cases, since they were born.

People who grow up in a country deserve citizenship there, and it is unjust to exile citizens even if they commit crimes. That applies to the UK and the US.
