Get in line, scientists.

We've got wars, food shortages, a housing crisis, pandemics, loss of women's rights, loss of human rights, child trafficking, massive loss of biodiversity in plants and animals, another possible Trump presidency, domestic terrorists, and a handful of rich people who own more than the rest of the population to worry about... ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

@Showroom7561 I guess the silver lining to us putting the scientists at the back of that line is we won't have to worry about any of these for much longer.

The thing is... every one of these issues could be addressed if people didn't vote against their own interests.
