The Free Press

At last most of the 1% seem to have awakened to the financial implications of destructive stupidity. It’s taken a while, but our super-rich now seem to understand how much money can be made in the new technologies that will be replacing coal, oil and gas. Either China will make that money or California will. Or Europe will. 

Also, if hundreds of millions of people die in climate wars, financial predictions will become unreliable. Big Business can finally see that, which means the newspaper’s editorials can see it.


Meanwhile the Republican politicos are trapped between their corporate masters—who hope to profit from new technologies—and their primary voters—who favor coal with religious intensity. What to do, what to do?
