This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.
Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

How many politicians were bought off before the "pressure " funny how corporations are apparently more powerful than the governments of the EU.
Its not just the EU.
Oh as an American I know all to well how corrupt our government is and how corporations own them.
And how some senators sell out their constituents for as little as 5 cents a head.
Yes so fucked up. Not only letting them destroy the planet but do it so cheaply.
Its even more fucked up to think that if everyone in america donated a dollar to a bribery fund, we could buy back our politicians. Thats how little we are worth to them.
Unfortunately they still vote against us. So be throwing our money away. Because if that would work we already have the working mans Pac and be doing just that.
No ones tried it yet, because the overwhelming bulk of society doesnt realize just how worthless they are to a politician, when you break the bribes down to a per-constituent cost.
