The top 1% The big monopolies The places we all feel like we're forced to work at or buy products from are the places (and have been as we all know) causing an extreme climate crisis for the life of our planet and on our planet. I posted this like an hour ago and started getting called names and death threats. I didn't come at it very well the first time and didn't realize the way I posted my title sounded like I was saying that the average was now 70°F higher than it used to be. There was a heatwave and during that the temperature made it up to 11°F when it's usually somewhere around -56°F. The coldest place on Earth was about 25°F away from being above freezing.

“Good morning [redacted], I am providing you these two pictures to let you know that this does not meet my expectations. We had an entire team of people cleaning the facility yesterday and it is not fair to expect them to clean up after you.

He would have been top 3 out of the 5 reasons why I loved my job.i learned so much from him and I would have stayed there working for him for a long time.

The new American Dream is to leave America.
