It’s kind of worse when you see it on the map, because it appears to be running parallel to an existing developed area, like they built a bypass through the rainforest for the climate summit, not a road for someplace previously unconnected.

I swear those climate summits only exist so the super wealthy and powerful can rub our helplessness under our noses. There‘s no other explanation for this series of increasingly disgusting and perverted events. It‘s not just tone deafness, it‘s a display of power. They‘re fucking the planet simply because they can.

They pat themselves on the back while lying to the people about their achievements. Disgusting.

It's the balcony bailout party overlooking the occupy Wallstreet tents, just slightly better at hiding the contempt.
