“This moment offers us a realistic opportunity to shape the post-2030 agenda with a viable alternative that will reconcile planetary boundaries with social justice and the fight against poverty and inequalities. That’s the challenge and the opportunity.”
Yeah… that would be nice, but that would require people to think and act maturely, with forethought and intelligence. It would require people to not only think about their own well being but the well being of others and future generations. And I mean actual well being, not just immediate pleasure or gratification. I’m talking about having the self control to resist immediate rewards in favor of larger, long term benefits. That’s really, really hard for a lot of people, especially when at least some of the long term benefits aren’t theirs but someone else’s.
Also why post-2030? Why not now? We can’t just sit by idly. Why should I waste my youth waiting for change that may never come? Act now, without restraint.
Yeah 2030 feels like corporate speak. We have other priorities at the moment but we can start making the world better 2030 at the earliest, possibly Q2. Stay tuned for updates.

I don’t think there has ever really been a time in the US where the 1% have thought of anything but themselves
I don’t think there’s ever been a time in the history of civilization where the rich and powerful have thought of anything but themselves.
They key is to not have billionares.

Almost had to resist downvoting you from how annoyed that made me, well done.
