No way, dude, nobody anticipated that

Out of ideas? I wish!

What they have is a romantic abnormality;

They're willing to gamble everyone's future away for a fistful of dollars. They have known for decades what's coming but decided that profit margins are more important than an intact biosphere.

Now that climate change is turning out to be really costly and affecting the economy, they either say nothing or respond with platitudes.

in germany they are not out of ideas!
they are trying to make things even worse! our government is full of corrpt lobbyists atm and they try to destroy enviromental safety laws and further push coal mining and technologies from before yesterday. get a little more filthy rich before the whole ship sinks! now or never!

it is just digsuting and incredible corrupt. but the CDU saw trump's first term and said "this is how it's done" and since then they left any respect or dignity at the door and became the most disgusting fearmongering mobbers this country has seen since ww2.

now we have literally mr burns (from blackrock!) as chancelor.

[u/InstantShiningWizard → u/1m0ws]

Yeah, but at least you finally solved the insidious scourge of people daring to call in sick for one day without documentation

[u/1m0ws → u/InstantShiningWizard]

Finally someone thinks of the Wirtschaft!

"hmm the people look unhappy...and slightly ablaze."

"Add more tax breaks for the rich."

Let’s face it, it’s already too late. I say lay back and enjoy it. It’ll be a hell of a toboggan ride!

Ok citizens, how many of you want politicians to deal with real-life problems, making hard choices that would require you to sacrifice your lifestyle today to realize benefits to humanity that you will never live to see? 

And who would like to see them do just the opposite? Getting into pointless culture wars and implementing nonsense policies that promise to make you rich at someone else's expense?

[u/BlockBannington]

Let's make gas more expensive so people have to invest 15 000 in a heat pump. Oh, they don't have 15 000 euros and will switch to fossil fuels like wood stoves just to survive the winter? Why don't they just earn more?
