(23,108 posts)They will end free public education in a heartbeat so that we produce tons of babies who have no education or health care so lots of them get sick or die. They are desperately poor and ignorant so will work for next to nothing. Nothing will be done to protect them, so lots will get sick or injured and with no affordable medical care, they languish and eventually die. All laws will only apply to the working & poor classes along with minorities and women and the rich barons can do anything and everything to us they want and we will have no recourse.
This is the rights' wet dream and what the Federalists have been working for since the birth of our country.

The other items don't impact them as they can simply use their wealth to circumvent those things. Not so with air, water and food.

(12,660 posts)Their money can buy them expensive filter systems, hydroponic foods, huge indoor emersive systems that can seem like they're outdoors, access to secluded pockets of remaining ecosystems where they can actually experience outdoors the way their grandparents might have been able to.
They are just putting off the inevitable for themselves, but they don't care so long as they can remain comfortable and pretend they have nothing to do with climate change.
It might affect their grandchildren, but as long as it doesn't affect them right now, they don't care.
