Governments don’t become “rich”, and if they do, that either signals unchecked corruption, or a government that is investing wisely in the nation’s present and future, depending on where the money is going. This may seem contradictory, but the reality is, you need a much deeper and broader understanding of your government’s finances and economic plan before the accusations you’re making will hold any weight. This is not something that can be reasoned about in the abstract and addressed with news-bite talking points. It a hugely complex situation and people spend lifetimes studying this.
A government that is genuinely exploiting the working class should be replaced by the working class with a government that supports and protects the working class. If you do not have the power to choose your government, then you need to figure that out how to organize the working class and acquire that power first, otherwise you’re wasting your time trying to change a government you have no control over, and that’s not going to work and it’s never going to support and protect you.
CO2 makes up a miniscule amount of our atmosphere.
This is accurate.
In the past there have been ice ages while the atmospheric CO2 level was 10 times higher than it is now.
This is misleading disinformation
The notion that eating insects will save the world seems a little dubious.
This is accurate.
