It is remakable that so many bad actors depend on the sale of fossil fuels, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Maduro, Texas and Pennsylachia. They can afford to get away with crime. In a long-term, the best thing you can do is to reduce your carbon footprint . It is good for the ecology also of course .

American institutions—from the media to Congress—continue to underreact to the unraveling of our democracy. Overseas our media would not hesitate to call what we’re living through a full-blown autocratic coup. Here's my attempt at the story they should write: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-trump...
