Sorry, Kids; It’s About the Money — Ray McGovern

MICIMATT (Military-Industrial-Congressional-Intelligence-Media-Academia-Think-Tank complex) versus climate change (and nuclear war).
By the “Mother of All Opportunity Costs” I refer, of course, to the abject failure of us adults to stave off or even substantially attenuate the faster-than-anyone-expected doom of global warming, while we go on blithely filling the pockets of war profiteers with our taxes. That’s what ALL coming generations (including the one-percenters who live in gated communities) are doomed to experience, if we continue to let our attention be focused almost exclusively on things like the East-West power struggle centering on Ukraine. (This assumes that nuclear war/nuclear winter, by design or miscalculation, does not come first.)
Well, maybe not technically correct about "filling the pockets of war profiteers with our taxes," but budgeting does count if only because of politics. Moreover, real resources that go to one sector are unavailable to other sectors.
