The consequences will be even more catastrophic without urgent action. The water crisis threatens more than 50% of global food production and risks shaving an average of 8% off countries’ GDPs by 2050, with much higher losses of up to 15% projected in low-income countries, the report found.

      Or the 50% of global food production that is mentioned to be impacted.

      I am. The economy has to do with people having jobs, shelter and food.

        I checked recently and am in the top portion of earners. Alone I make more than most households in the US. The economy is for rich folk, and people do deserve to make more to live happier. The quality of life should be better than what it is now for everyone. The only reason it isn’t is because the rich desire to be richer.

      No, but it will increase the fraction of total global capital that is owned by the shareholders, and isn’t that what really matters?

      If it didn’t take Pennsylvania to with the electoral college she might not have to support it. But our voting system is fucked, so to get an actual decent person elected, they have to play games.

      Once you understand or admit how the game must be played, you’ll realize how stupid these types of comments are.

      Yeah, right lest we forget, it’s Kamala who wants to frack and not the industry, the pickup driving rig pig voters she needs or the lobby. What the FUCK ever. I can’t roll my eyes hard enough.
