JOHN CUSACK: ‘WE HAVE 10 TO 12 YEARS’ TO SAVE THE PLANET FROM CLIMATE, CAPITALISM
Grabie News ^ | 18 Jan 2020 | Tom Eliot

Posted on 01/19/2020 10:17:01 AM PST by Rummyfan

Actor John Cusack introducing Bernie Sanders in Exeter, N.H. this afternoon:

CUSACK: "The billionaires are getting nervous and all the corporate media is — they hate us, they don’t hate us, they're confused. And it seems like every conceivable power structure on earth is trying to kill or derail our movement, but we’re still here.

“We know this form of capitalism takes and takes; it takes whatever, whenever, however it wants. It’ll take our lives, it’ll take our labor, our spirit, our air and water, even our earth.

“And Bernie respects us enough to tell the truth, the hard truth: We have a ten to twelve year window to radically transform our energy systems, or climate change, predatory capitalism, and endless war economies will rob us of the right to any future at all.

“And as we can see literally every day, the house is on fire. But as Bernie tells us, this is no time for despair, it's no time for anything but action. Because if we stand together, with him, the future is still indeed unwritten. And there’s nothing more powerful than a movement whose time has come. We have never had a movement candidate this close to power with a revolutionary movement he’s led and built, ready-to-go, all the way to change the country and help heal the world.

“With people of every race, creed, gender, everybody stands together in solidarity with all of us whose labor powers this economy, stop the profiteering and tell the billionaires and the corporate tyrannies that it's time to start treating all human beings with respect and dignity."

Here's a guy who has made millions playing make-believe, thanks to capitalism. I don't see him volunteering to give any of the money back.

That struck me too. Why do we need to destroy capitalism to fight global warming? What does one have to do with the other?

Too bad the tax returns of libtards aren’t made public

they would show their tightwad attitudes when it comes to real charity, real giving

They’re as selfish as anybody

Hypocritical too

With a minute. I thought Ocasio-Cortez said her warning about having 12 years left was just a joke, and we deplorable types were just not sophisticated enough to appreciate her rapier wit.

Climate science formula:

Let X = today’s date

X + 12 years = Armageddon

Only the very rich, and the very poor want to “save” us from capitalism.

John Cusack hasn’t made a “good movie” in 10-12 years?

Only ten years, John?

It is too short a time frame, it’s not possible to “save the planet” now

Rather than put your fragile mind thru this terrible stress, best to just off yourself and avoid the misery

You add a “squared” at the end of your formula..makes it sound more Albert Einsteiny.

I agree with this guy. We should send all of these artist types to work in the fields and do honest labor. Forget about art, literature, acting, etc., most of them are not very good at it anyway.
Entertainment, athletics, to the mines.

You SHOULD add a “squared” that is.

“We know this form of capitalism takes and takes; it takes whatever, whenever, however it wants.”


Sounds more like socialism/communism than capitalism.
