  1. Man, I just watched the video.

     

    I was stranded in Barstow California for a month!  Ran out of gas in the Mojave desert 20 miles from town in the middle of the night,  back in '97. After hitching a ride into town with a trucker to the nearest gas station a woman at the cashiers desk lent me her car to fill my tank a bit to drive into Barstow. The Month Lady Diana died. I returned to the east coast after I sold my shitty car for a plane ticket home. That night I visited my friends and they were watching the news about the princess. 

     

    Barstow is Hell!

    One of the two dudes (the one with the brother) looked just like a boy Rachel Weisz. He was adorable! I wanted to take care of him.

     

    He was the actor that played the youngest heir of House Lannister. His sister in the show is the gorgeous woman in the series Servant on HBO by

    Watch 1917. Single tracking shot gimmick. I was unaware of that going in. Odd choice that may have cheapened the experience, and not at all what I was expecting.

    Made the movie feel like a WWI third person game that you couldn't interact with. Or it was like being on a theatrical amusement park ride (i.e. Universal Studios back lot tour) with these predictable timed stops for conflict and tension. 

    Not bad. Not in love with it.

     

    1917 is beautiful

    Long-term thinking isn't what shareholders want. It hall about the quarterly earnings. That's the only thing that matters in the world today. As long as number goes up on the stocks, fuck the environment.

    They need to be pressured. By protesters. That has shown to make a difference. Look at the Redskins here in the usa. 

    We'd have to use Nuclear energy in the short term. But its worth it

     

    The "Adult" dismiss Thunberg. But she is the Joan of arc in this. She is the truth teller. 

     

    The emerging countries using fossil fuel need capital to grow. They get it that capital from somewhere! The leading companies are as big as some nations. Also.  Amazon, Apple, Uber, Airlines, Trucking companies that use fossil fuel could make a change immediately to use green energy. They are too greedy for that short term pain to make a difference.

  5. ALL the Big companies could make our air a lot cleaner in a year if they moved to green energy. Amazon could deliver with electric vehicles. Uber could go electric. Apple is worth trillions now. They could go green too. Short term pain . Long term blessing foe the rest of us . Some companies are as big as nations. They could make a change now if they were pressured
