Symptoms of greed and decline

by David Atkins

This screencap is from the front page of the L.A. Times as I write:



Notice a trend?

A near-record heat wave is causing wildfires all across California. These increasing heat waves are a direct product of climate change. One of the fires threatens a nuclear plant.

Big ag and fracking are both causing earthquakes.

There's a shortage of nurses to actually take care of people.

And the big internet service providers are lobbying heavily to stop the FCC from classifying the Internet as a utility, something that should have been done two decades ago.

These are the signs of a society in decline, and in the grips of plutocrats. When do people get angry enough to start doing something about it?
