What are you poors gonna do about it?
Yeah, that’s what they thought.

Would not have guessed it takes them that long

Same. I'd have assumed a single day.

But, like straws, you the individual need to be sure you think about this constantly and disrupt your own daily life and convenience so you can not make any difference whatsoever.

We still need to make a difference to the environment no matter how small it is, while at the same time we should also condemn the top 1% for burning the earth

Okay, the definition used for global 1% is so gross and unrealistic. People earning anything like that are definitely not “rich”. Being above extreme poverty is not “rich”. The only rich which matter are people making multimillion+ USD income per year through work or assets. Who do you think buys politicians and makes the law? It’s not the secretary in NYC earning $140K per year. Let’s be fucking for real, how do I take the rest of this article seriously if they’re this much their asshole?
My advice to writers who want to “win” for their pet politics: make sense at least. Otherwise you’ll get mad that someone called you out, and then you’ll just say they’re being a liberal or conservative, then you’ll be wrong twice. Pass the critical thinking test.

The rich aren’t concerned about “fair.”
Otherwise they wouldn't be rich.
