A budget for ‘growth’ - hah! Hunt showing his total blindness to the realities we’re in. Still thrashing the dead horse of growthforever. Human society has already overshot heavily the carrying capacity of the global ecosphere; and with a comprehensive adjustment - downwards - now absolutely bound to continue, as it’s already started; but these brain-dead intellectual and moral midgets just can’t bring themselves to recognise the realities, and show some actual statesmanship to help navigate the whitewater-ride down from here…
It’s like being aboard a bus careering towards a precipice, with some of the - actually awake - passengers shouting ‘Stop, stop!’, and the driver still deafly pushing pedal to metal as he accelerates into Wile E. Coyote empty space…
How bad do things have to get before the Paedominster farce is revolutionised, and we get some actually reality-connected - and with luck actually democratic - government?
If some real states(wo)man were to say: “I have nothing to offer but blood, tears, toil and horticulture”, how long would it take for a - realist - following of voters to develop, to put him/her into a position of leadership…? I know it’s fashionable to opine these days that humans are so irrational and discomfort-averse that they’d never rally to such a cry. Yet it worked for Churchill, in comparably-grim circumstances. It’s going to have to work for us in the near future too; may as well get on with it.
