They're funded through next Feb, iirc. They're not going to run out of support - until the next shitshow discussion that is

Not sure if you're actually trying to understand what I wrote, but I'm not trying to find someone to blame - I've already found them. I'm not trying to effect change - I'd become a politician or teacher if I wanted to do that. These are just observations.

And it's interesting that "people who actually want to affect change" wouldn't want to try to tackle the actual problems. I guess it's easier to point to single-target big bad entities rather than a more vague entity like....everyone. Also it is easier to pretend people don't have agency, isn't it?

I'm saying "individual" action is the problem. When an "individual" buys bottled water, or buys some cheap shit from Temu which will break in 2 days, or throws cardboard in the trash instead of recycling, everything becomes just a little bit worse.

It's not an individual. Every time you see that word, you can safely multiply it by a couple hundred million and see the actual almost-daily effect of what an "individual" does. A billionaire flying one leg of a private flight 10 miles? Who fucking cares compared to the bigger picture?

And no, citing multiple sources is not gish gallop. I’ve been hit with that accusation in a personal chat recently too lol.

Yes.... yes it is. If they're shitty sources, it takes times to research to debunk each one.
