The consequences will be even more catastrophic without urgent action. The water crisis threatens more than 50% of global food production and risks shaving an average of 8% off countries’ GDPs by 2050, with much higher losses of up to 15% projected in low-income countries, the report found.

      I am. The economy has to do with people having jobs, shelter and food.

      Lemmy: “I’m 14 and make $9/hr. at Taco Bell and the ‘economy’ is only for RICH people!”

      Jesus Christ pull your head out of your ass.

        I checked recently and am in the top portion of earners. Alone I make more than most households in the US. The economy is for rich folk, and people do deserve to make more to live happier. The quality of life should be better than what it is now for everyone. The only reason it isn’t is because the rich desire to be richer.

      If it didn’t take Pennsylvania to with the electoral college she might not have to support it. But our voting system is fucked, so to get an actual decent person elected, they have to play games.

      Once you understand or admit how the game must be played, you’ll realize how stupid these types of comments are.
