    This is how I feel with the corporations. As a result of this feeling, I stopped giving a damn. I attempt to live my life the best I can, while still trying to care for the world, even though I know we are doomed. Nothing will change until something catastrophic has happened.

      Sorry, but this is such fatalistic bs.

      So much has changed.

      I remember acid rain.
      I remember leaded gas.
      I remember 12mpg cars.
      I remember the photos of terrible brown smog floating over Los Angeles.
      I remember before anyone had a recycling bin.
      I remember…

      The list goes on. And I’m only a handful of decades old.

      Can we do more? Yes.
      Should we do more? Absolutely.
      Are more people aware of that than ever before? Yes.

      Humans have technologied their way out of so much shit, I am not ready to give up on us yet.

        Part of the work has to be processing the emotions of our past failures. It’s okay to feel fatalistic for a minute just to sit with those feelings. But we do need to get over it sooner or later and get to work, too.
