L’état, c’est moi

The President of the United States, brought to you by the oil and gas industry, practicing willful ignorance and casual if not deliberate cruelty.

One thing is for certain and backed by four years of evidence: elect this man and nothing will change. Whether he is unwilling or unable to tackle the climate crisis, a pandemic, economic and gender inequality and institutionalized racism is neither here nor there because the end result is the same: nothing will change for the better. He will keep serving himself and those close, loyal and tied to him. Problems will keep being swept under the rug, environmental protection will keep rolling back faster than you can yell “Fore!” and citizens will keep being breadcrumbed while big spenders, big polluters and big business reap the benefits.

So start sending them the bill. Or sue them for reckless endangerment. If they're not willing or able to change things for the better, they may as well pay the cost. Because inaction costs, and they won’t pay a dime if they can outsource the risks and damages. So file a class action lawsuit. Or maybe just don’t vote for someone who will never be the president of all your united states, only those he can profit from.
