The Buckets by Greg Cravens for November 05, 2019

Sure they do. They can be certain that ecological catastrophe is nigh unless we act and act FAST.

I hear everyone is preparing for some zombie apocalypse…

quite true, grandpa…

In the year 2525

If man is still alive

If woman can survive, they may find….

There’s still time.And show me someone who has certainty in his life.

They are still certain to pay taxes and die.

That’s because nukes are so expensive, that your generation waited for a situation, where using them was less expensive that the gain. And the pennypinchers always spoiled the game by calculation the short term loss the use would add to it.

But today the short term gain of using fossil energies are so blinding that its slower but active catastrophic destruction of the world is considered a win by your generation, even though every serious scientist of the field is screaming alarm for the past 40 years. Your generation will be remembered as the most stupid, selfish bastards that ever lived.

Now.. they are all in a tizzy about climate change.. And the results will be the same

We still have some unstable people with their fingers on the button.

There’s still death and taxes…

I remember all of the “Duck and cover” drills and videos during school in the mid 1950s.

I am the man, the well fed man, in charge of the terrible knob

The most pleasing thing about it, it’s nearly a permanent job

When the atom war is over, and the world is split in three

Some consolation I’ve got (or maybe it’s not), there’ll be nobody left but me.

The world hasn’t ended in nuclear catastrophe YET. But now that the US has given North Korea the go-ahead to mass-produce hydrogen bombs and intercontinental ballistic missiles and reneged on treaties with Iran and Russia, there’s nothing to worry about! Right?
