I love that a white guy was flying the plane, a white guy was flying the helicopter, and a white guy gutted the FAA last week but somehow the blame is too much diversity.

Literally nobody wants the world to be like this except the host of rich sociopaths who don’t care - blaming climate crises on ENVIRO policies, claiming they will “consider” cost of living, building AI servers that desiccate the land… like what? The 1% do not seem to be using their brains honestly

Australia is the world’s 2nd largest fossil fuel exporter & 5th largest fossil fuel producer. But it’s not Australians producing and exporting the coal & gas, it’s a handful of mostly foreign corporations. Australians get few benefits. https://buff.ly/4a7dx1B #auspol #climate
