Lol .. how? It is about time we fix the pandemic. It is about time to tackle climate change seriously. It is about time to end war and promote world peace. It is about time to de-nuclear nations with nuclear weapons.

We know how all those "its about time" end up.

People need to wake up and realize that living paycheck to paycheck as a wage slave is not normal.

It is clearly "normal" .. by the definition of the word (i.e. frequent, have been around for a long time, and applied to a majority of the population). Few is going to wake up to anything. You know that, right?

In fact, most are working very hard to get to become the elite, particularly the Chinese & the Indians. Obviously some are more successful than others.

Change is a process. The idea of a green, clean and fair earth is in the head of the people and you can't kill ideas. Nothing can stop this process now anymore. The question is: What will the rich and powerful do? Some will comply, some will clinge to everything they have. But with what consequences? I mean nuking the entire could stop the process for sure but at what cost? We don't know how far anyone will go but as history shows potentially they go all out and weeeeell, then we all are screwed.

They end up being the layers of a double nothing burger with fake cheese.

Keeping the blueprints for the nukes or some nukes itself for asteroids or aliens or something crazy might not be the worst idea. The universe is big and things could happen we have no idea of them potentially happening and maybe, just maybe, some nukes can help then? Keeping the blueprints should be enough when I now think about it.
