Have you tried just being a goose?

Have you tried just living in your cubicle and having them take rent out of your paycheck?

A shitty source not being the absolute worst source doesn't make it any less shitty than it is. If your only options for news are US government propaganda or Russian government propaganda, the only valid choice is to stop following the news.

The president has a lot less power than you seem to think. Only congress can do anything meaningful about climate change, and the chances of that happening are basically nonexistent.

Honestly, what would be the point of running for president on a climate change platform? Would you believe him? I certainly wouldn't. Would anyone actually believe he could follow through if he tried? No one with a basic understanding of how the government works should. What purpose would that campaign serve beyond getting your hopes up and inevitably making him a liar about something he never had the power to do?

If you want change, vote for the right congressmen and convince others to do the same.

Oh, I see. You just don't understand the point of a protest.

Next lesson: Oops, there aren't better employers.

The fact that "don't work off the clock" and "don't do work you aren't getting paid for" are genuinely needed bits of advice rather than absurdly obvious common sense should radicalize all workers.

And they'll be correct once the currents in the Atlantic collapse in the 30's.
