“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.”

H. L. Mencken

A 27 year old “communications professional” lecturing everyone about apocalyptic notions. What a joke.

She probably loves AOC.

It’s a Socialist tactic to encourage people to NOT save for their future. When the future comes, and they have nothing to show for it, they will have nowhere to turn BUT to the state.

Climate change is keeping them from eating at home?

you should also point out to them that pollution isn’t causing climate change=- just bad health and dirty waterways etc- The sun causes climate change- period- There isn’t nearly enough CO2 to cause climate change- CO2 being not a pollutant, but a necessary thing- The atmosphere only has 0.00136% CO2 in it- that’s it- Nowhere near enough to blanket the earth trapping heat- nowhere even close to enough- period-

also point out that we are a little over 400ppm- the earth has gone through over 800 pmm before and life flourished fine-

Then slap them upside the head and tell them to stop hyperventilating- God is going to destroy the earth AFTER the 1000 year reign of Christ- and we will get a NEW earth thanks to God- so there’s nothign to panic about UNLESS they are unsaved and end up in a place where ‘climate change’ will be a very big actual concern to them!

“Engulfed in a constant barrage of depressing news stories, many young people are skeptical about saving for an uncertain future.”

Well let me that on that for a second. I am 73. When these airheads get to be 60, I will be long gone. So, I DNGAF about their 401s, their student debt, their disdain for Trump, their open borders views or any of the rest. Ah, now my BP is greatly reduced today. Hum, better get it back up because I could just live longer than I think, eh.

Young people blame climate change for their small 401(k) balances.

And their small IQ’s.
And their small life’s prospects.
And their small reproductive organs.
And on, and on, and on. MORONS

“Lori Rodriguez, a 27-year-old communications professional in New York City, is not saving for retirement, and it isn’t necessarily because she can’t afford to — it’s because she doesn’t expect it to matter.”

Short view syndrome. Can’t see beyond this year.

Move someplace where there is no climate change - the desert of Iran. You’ll enjoy it there.

well i wouldn’t know about, but what is wrong with the plastic walmart bag that I brogue the $17 dollar sneakers home in? Why couldn’t that be a perfectly good purse for a wife?

Translation: “I’d rather spend money on Starbucks, overpriced farm-to-table dining, and craft-brewed IPAs than put aside a little for later. This gives me a good excuse.”

No matter what is going to happen in the future, and nobody knows for sure, they have decided it is better to be broke than create their own financial security. Why not? That makes sense to me.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
