You sighted a problem and cited zero anything else.

Pandemic response was effective at avoiding healthcare system collapse and churning out a vaccine. It’s as good a plan as we can get with 30% of 300 million intentionally indifferent, centrists too absorbed in low effort consumerism, and anyone espousing concern being called a tree hugging pussy.

What else do you want? Too many seem to think the MCU should hop on saving them from themselves.

Say something useful yourself or get over it. You were never going to make it out of this life alive anyway.

Perhaps you missed the analogy in my original between climate deaths and gun+traffic deaths.

You're so close to getting it. We will be talking about "sensible solutions" that maintain our current lifestyle until the planet turns into Venus.

I reluctanty have to admit I'm black pilled at this point. I see no reason to believe that our species is capable of the kind of collective action that's needed. There are no positive examples and so many negative examples.

You don't have kids do you?

I do have kids. Which is why your post bugs me.

My whole effort here is throwing your low effort back at you; including your misuse of sighted for cited.

Frankly I think I get you a lot better than you get me. You are your own generalization/analogy/metaphor.

You’re doing nothing substantive while complaining about lack of substantive effort in the part of others.

Functional illiteracy in the raw, dog

See my comment about being blackpilled on this issue. I don't think humans have what it takes to deal with this.

Not your dog, dog
