17. Yup. There's nothing better on this planet than giving tax breaks to the rich; houses would be the thing to do it.

Zillow, average price, San Diego home.

You know what?

There are over 1.5 billion people who lack access to any kind of sanitation, not that our "solar will save us" types give a rat's ass about human poverty.

Clearly they don't.

It's not like any of these kinds of bourgeois clueless ones who pretend to give a shit about the environment by hyping the trillion dollars squandered on solar energy for no result other than the acceleration of fossil fuel use and rates of accumulation of carbon dioxide give anymore of a level of concern than they do for the extreme global heating we now experience.

To these types, subsidizing rich home owners is the way to go. It's straight out the rhetoric of that bourgeois asshole Amory Lovins, and his swell, renewable demonstration home in Snowmass Colorado, just outside of Aspen for them. You can tour it for a fee, um, whoops, I mean a "donation."

No wonder the United States is crumbling under the weight of ignorance. People are actually proud of their ignorance, especially when they couple it to willful indifference to human suffering.

The cluelessness is appalling, to me at least.
