Climate stuff

In case people were not convinced that the new green deal was about social change under the guise of climate change here is the new new green deal introduced yesterday by Senator Ed Markey and Rep Cortez. "We have demonstrated that our movement is a potent political force, and in the run-up to the 2024 elections, we will direct this power to demanding solutions to the intersectional crises Congress has yet to address: in health care, child care, schools, housing, transit, labor, and economic and racial justice," the Massachusetts lawmaker continued. The estimated cost for this plan is $94 trillion. It does not say where the money will come from but past reports tell us that Cortez is a believer in Modern Monetary Theory so this suggest the Fed will just create the money. In case you are not familiar with the term intersectional here is the Oxford Dictionary definition. the interconnected nature of social categorisations such as race, class and gender, regarded as creating overlapping and interdependent systems of discrimination or disadvantaged. That gobbledygook doesn't sound much like climate change.
