Nah but I’ll bet you a few litres of drinking water payable in 2050.

Ooh clever. What’s your prediction about how much those liters of water will cost? Do you think money will be gone by 2050, a vestige of a pre-apocalyptic era?

[-] Chadsmo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

One can only hope money is gone by then , climate change or not. We have the resources as a planet and civilisation to take care of everyone and make sure everyone is housed and fed , yet we decide to let human beings fall by the wayside.

And you think the use of money is to blame for that?
