Ketan Joshi's Irrational Climate Reset
I am calling for a return to the wild, unacceptable and unthinkably weird idea that we can decide not to live under the thumb of an expensive, deadly and ancient fossil fuel economy
No more hand-wringing about pragmatism. Be idealistic, and don't be sorry 🤜🏽

Great post. 👏👏👏👏
People do not start out with equally strong bootstraps. For many of us they break when we pull on them and we don't have the intergenerational wealth or support to replace them. Forever face down in the mud. Unless you reach your hand out to pull us up.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.
