It’s a good thing climate change won’t cause “enormous damage” to the economy.

minimum inconvenience to the rest of the community
So we can all safely ignore the issue.

These restrictions just keep getting tighter and tighter.
…What do we usually call workers that aren’t allowed to stop working?
Totally fine and normal, guys.
No no no, you see, they can quit and risk starvation any time they want! It’s totally different! Fine! Ethical!
Labor really going all in on authoritarianism lately…
Ngl, time to just start destroying the coal railways instead of blocking them for a few hours
