Extinction

Greed is part of us, and one outcome of our economic system is that it can become greed-gone-wild. For example, the Democratic National Committee recently dropped the ending of fossil fuel subsidies from the agreed-on party platform. That is a step toward extinction for humans.

Scientists have stated that our use of fossil fuels is already leading to losses of oxygen--followed by our own extinction in about 80 years. 

Science and life on earth don't seem to matter to the DNC or to the fossil fuel industry. They don't intend to make us extinct, but they are blinded by greed.

What matters to the DNC is that some voters work for oil, coal and natural gas corporations. The DNC doesn't intend to lose those votes. Also the fossil fuel tycoons donate towering bribes of cash to political campaigns. 

For tRump and the DNC, raking in cash and votes is more important that maintaining enough oxygen to keep our grandchildren and the super-rich's grandchildren alive. This is primitive stuff. The big cats eat everything now, and their kittens can starve.

Biden and Harris are pledged to cut subsidies to Big Oil, so the DNC is attempting to reassure the super-rich that Biden and Harris don't mean it. We will find out who means what next year. 

I yield back my time.
