What is America doing today to break out of such a doomed trajectory and into a more sustainable one?
The answer, sadly, is nothing, or rather, worse than nothing. On climate, for example, the most immediate need is to end the burning of fossil fuels as soon as possible — something not even being considered by Washington policymakers in a country that hit record oil production and record natural gas exports in 2023. 
Even a quarter-century from now, wind and solar energy sources together are forecast to account for only about one-third of U.S. electricity generation, with 56% still being supplied by gas, coal, and nuclear power.
The message is clear: curtailing ecological breakdown while improving humanity's quality of life requires banishing the material extravagance of the world's richest people, especially the growing crew of global billionaires. That would, however, have to be part of a much broader effort to rid affluent societies of the systemic overextraction and overproduction that threaten to be our global undoing.
Civilization itself is in danger of collapse. Growth — whether expressed as more dollars accumulated, more tons of material stuff produced, more carbon burned, or more wastes emitted — is coming to an end. 
The only question is: Will it happen as a collapse of society, or could the reversal of material growth be undertaken rationally?

Should sign all documents in Hindu

Had nothing planned so just pretended to watch like 10 hours of CE credit courses that I've seen a dozen times while pretty fricking drunk drinking some douchey IPA from a growler I got gifted a few weeks ago. Got pretty drunk and forgot how many I actually needed but just started them on my laptop and spent like an hour doing quizzes and just watched Rick and Morty on my TV.

How was your Thursday?
