Money..........ISN'T REAL.We can "afford" anything we need to, because THERE IS AN INFINITE AMOUNT OF MONEY.Because it ISN'T REAL.If your options are the destruction of the planet (REAL) or spending $1 quadrillion dollars (not actually REAL), you just PRINT MONEY. You don't say "welp, I guess HUMANITY WILL DIE whoopsie"When I say neoliberals are fundamentally unserious people, THIS IS WHAT I MEAN. They literally are saying "welp" right now.
