    I totally agree with you. Not going for change now will make everything only worse.

    Still, doing nothing compared to changing now will save a couple of dollar here and there for a couple of years and that seems to be what most people look at.

    Especially in politics, politicians want to get reelected next term, so it’s preferred to work on issues that can be helped within a few years, not something we need to invest now, but impact will be after next election.

    I don’t say it’s right, it is just the way it is and I believe that this is contributing to why we still go the wrong way.

    Go out on the streets and ask the people if they are ready to make a sacrifice today so they’ll be less hurt in future.

    If you ask me, yeah, go ahead! Stop subsiding fossil fuels, maybe even restrict nutrition, invest in renewables and education and finally put higher tax on wealthy people while changing the electric grid and the way we consume!
