    I think a big issue is that the government takes a decades long view. This is great because they can plan how to effectively manage our water and other large scale projects with longevity in mind.

    Meanwhile, our corporate CEOs take a quarter of a year view. They’d burn the company to the ground as long as it happens after they are stepping down and makes them look good beforehand.

      You mean four year term view? They dont give a shit about what happens next. If they did they would do something against climate change

        Ah I wasn’t clear. I don’t mean government as in Democrats or Republicans. I mean government associations like US Army Corps of Engineers or the US Postal Service.

        Maybe we should start a US Army Climate Battalion or something to sound cool and get funding 🤔.

      Or if they have a golden parachute.
