“can a green economy
make me rich?” “we have to implement a green economic recovery” “how a green economy could solve the post-coronavirus unemployment problem” (will a “green” economy still be a capitalist economy? will it still depend upon the in- visible hand & good faith of koch bros., jeff bezos, + the s&p 500?) who knows — we’ll see maybe meanwhile: jacket weather in asturias; but pushing 90 f in arctic circle; perth enjoys warmest early winter while adelaide shivers in frost (cue “the world turned upside down”) 230k people “relocated” by mudslides in s. china; 110 rivers overflowing (“terrifying moment a 3-storey bldg. gets washed away by raging floodwaters as torrential rain batters china -- watch the full video”) > 23,500 acres burned in iran inside of two weeks: no money to put them out iran is a long ways away; the glaciers seem so far away; rainforests, far far away; 2050 is a long ways off . . . but what ya gonna do when they come for you? -- already 3 named tropical storms this season (most ever this early); one almost made it to milwaukee . . . + coronavirus + black & brown people always getting the shit-end of the environmental stick & the police batons & pandemics o invisible hand we beseech thee . . . whose arm attached to the hand? whose body to the arm? no prayer heard faster than people in the streets fucking up capital(s) -- something to keep in mind as the disaster drifts
