When covid stopped everything the noise in the oceans and cities decreased so much the animals started singing again. Dolphins returned to Venice, whales to New England harbors, the environmental impact of those years was significant. We are capable of adapting quickly and making huge impact, covid showed us that’s it’s just an unwillingness on the part of the ruling class. It can be done, we’re just told “small, incremental change is best” (neo-lib bs enshrining short-term profits). Kill the industries, pay the people via social safety nets, federal jobs program to build better stuff, public projects, public ownership. Public money made most things but the people in power transferred all that tech and IP into private hands.

I think that’s what pushed me into absolute nihilistic depression. We CAN do something and we can do it right now, but we’re choosing not to.
