Decades of neo-liberal/neoconservative denial of science, refusal to act, promotion of fossil fuels over renewables…
Howard, Abbott, Turnbull, Morrison, Albanese…
Too little, too late.
Still approving fossil fuel projects… and now AI data centres.

this may be hard to internalise for a lot of people who basically build their politics by publicly and loudly adopting whatever is the opposite of the Malefic Western Neoconservative Policy Orthodoxy but there are issues where you really should in fact listen to the view of 90% of the population

Kamala was the most neoconservative Dem running in 2020... the only democrat to her right in any election in the 21st Century was Hillary Clinton. And I'd still prefer either of those women over a Trump 2nd term.

It's wholly a neoconservative caused dilemma.
We were conned into believing in trickle down.
Gov'ts granted large benefits & allowed public infrastructure to be sold off cheaply to Private operators, "it's more efficient" they said.
In the past 50 yrs all I've witnessed is trickle up economics.
