Nuclear apocalypse [View all]

Let's be unambiguously clear: if we bomb nuclear power plants in Iran we will create multiple Chernobyls, kill millions and likely make a huge portion of the world's oil reserves unaccessible for thousands of years.

Yet, like millions of other normal people, I'm at work like it's any other normal day.

What are people with the actual power to change anything doing?

Effectively nothing.

I'm done.
I'm tired of the news media.
I'm tired of spineless, bootlicking sycophants.
Tired of a wanton level of ignorance in the general US population.
I'm tired of do nothing politicians.

What Mango Mussolini said was absolutely horrific.
What is anyone doing about it? Absolutely nothing. It's just another Tuesday.

So be it. Let's just get this over with, end the world and let's hope whatever species evolves to take our place is better than we were.
