I'll bet there's a word to describe something being both genuinely hilarious and also chillingly accurate.

Oh I know. The so called “free” market is an absolute shitshow of an economic theory that actively destroys all the things it’s proponents claim it promotes, like competition, growth, and convenience. But people are too stupid to understand these things at anything more than face value, and the elites know it, so this is what we get. It’s literally going to kill us all.

"Our simulations show that the most effective way to prevent long-term collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is rapid decarbonization,"

Praying for our corporate overloads to commercialise the sun! We would make trillions!

Actually this has me thinking about something from scifi... I think it was Ring world or something like that, where they basically made a ring of solar shields so as the ring world spun around the shields would create night and day cycles. Now imagine if we did something like that which only shaded the sun every couple days, and we built massive solar collectors on the inside of each shade? Solve global warming and the energy crisis all in one shot!

Now if only that whole free market would get its ass in gear...
