But We Need To Be

My Favorite Sign Here Says, "i Care About You." In A Culture That Trains People To Avoid Each Other's Gaze, To Say, "let Them Die," That Is A Deeply Radical Statement.

We Can't Leave Everything To The Free Market. In Fact, Climate Change Is, I Would Argue, The Greatest Single Free-market Failure. This Is What Happens When You Don't Regulate Corporations And You Allow Them To Treat The Atmosphere As An Open Sewer.

That Is The Meaning Of The Trump Brand - Being The Boss Who Is So Rich And So Powerful He Can Do Whatever He Wants. So The Way In Which He Ran For President Was To Embody That Idea As Fully As He Possibly Could With His Outrageousness. I Don't Think He Actually Thought He Would Win. I Think The Original Idea Was Purely A Marketing Idea. It Seemed A No-lose Situation, Because He Would Get So Much Free Publicity. And This Has Always Been His Genius - I Shouldn't Use The Word "genius" When Talking About Trump - But He's Always Understood The Value Of Free Publicity.

That's What's Happening Now. The World Is Being Held Up A Mirror: "all Roads Lead Here. Do You Like It?" A Lot Of People Don't Like It. A Lot Of People Are Saying, "wait A Minute, If Our System Can Produce That, There's Something Wrong With This System." That Opening Is Ours To Seize. It Matters How We Name It: It's Not Called Donald Trump. It's Called Capitalism.

Thing That We Wanted To Do Was Redefine What A Green Job Was, What A Climate Job Was. We Said: "wait A Minute. There's All These People Out There Who Are Doing Low-carbon Work." It's Not Just Guys In Hard Hats Putting Up Solar Panels. Teaching Is Low Carbon. Caring For The Sick Is Low Carbon. Daycare Is A Green Workplace. Overwhelmingly, This Is Work That Is Done By Women, Overwhelmingly Women Of Color, On The Frontlines Of Austerity Clawbacks.
