That’s not helping the many people being screwed over by anti-trans and anti-abortion bills, or with all of the anti-worker crap the republicans and the dems (albeit to a lesser extent) have been implementing. I’m worried it’s going to be too late for a lot of people by the time things get good (not just better, actually good without 50 million horrible things going off constantly; not perfect, but not constantly under peril). Well, if they do. And of course there’s the matter of climate change. I’m worried it’s gonna be too late by then as well…

A cure all does not exist unfortunately and I don’t know of any solutions for the affected minorities in those areas other than leave when possible. Which is easier said than done I know, I did it with my move out of Texas.

It likely is going to be too late for many groups of people, I don’t like that reality but it’s true. This is the shit situation our generation was given and we just have to do our best to improve it as best we can for future generations. We can only do that by fighting and not letting apathy take over.
And of course there’s the matter of climate change. I’m worried it’s gonna be too late by then as well.
Too late for what? For the environment to change? That point passed decades ago, unfortunately. We’ve been at the pollution game for a while. Too late to mitigate as much damage as possible? Absolutely not. The best time to plant a tree is yesterday but the next best time is today. Our planet is changing due to the actions of the old and it’s on us to adapt as a society. We adapt by changing policies and we change policies by getting involved in politics, the easiest form of which is simply voting.
The future is going to be rough and certainly not what I would’ve chosen, but it’s not untenable or unconquerable.
I mean like too late to mitigate it enough for it to not destroy the environment completely. And most of the pollution is not from individuals but from corporations. I mean hell, most pollution from airplanes comes from private jets. Commercial passenger planes don’t do nearly as much damage as those (though they do quite a bit of damage and should be limited where possible). ~Cherri

Except that’s not a thing, it’s impossible for the environment to be completely destroyed. Even when a forest turns to desert the desert is still an environment that can be adapted to and improved on. The world as we know it will change dramatically, that’s just something that’s unavoidable at this point. But we can help make the next version of this world the best we can.
As long as you’re alive it’s never too late to take action.
Yes, that’s part of the changing world. Not something I’m happy about but something we can’t change. There are projects sequencing their genome so that we can hopefully clone/revive the species at a later time however. So there are things that can be done to mitigate even those changes. Not a perfect solution but it’s something.
If you truly believe there’s no hope and we can’t do anything to change it then I implore you to follow your own word and don’t bother commenting doomerisms since it doesn’t help anything.
If you want to give up, fine. Just do it by yourself. I’m going to keep fighting as long as there’s life in this body.
It’s not that I think there’s hope, it’s that I don’t know if there is, but I know this is something people have been trying for years with relatively little to show for it. ~Cherri

A lot of species are going extinct faster than new ones are popping up. ~Cherri
