If you’re happy with being hungry for hours before being given anything to eat, then good for you I guess? We can do better. Being kept hungry and given crumbs isn’t healthy, it’s positively abusive.

We should not do good things purely for the praise of others, we should do good things because they are the right thing to do.
We’re talking about politicians who do things for votes. The whole system is predicated on popularity being the only thing that matters.
So once the perfect moment has passed, might as well never try to catch up.
The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago. The second best time is… fuck it, I’m just going to complain that there aren’t enough trees.
