Capacity to Endure

If sustainability is, well, sustainable... (long pause) why is such a major selling point the idea of government tax breaks and subsidies. I mean, if you're genuinely sustainable... the fuck you need the government to help supplement you? It's supposed to be the definition of "does not need subsidies" and fucking yet... I read recently this little GEMSTONE. "If the government is to play a positive role in sustainability, it needs to become the carrot." The carrot is sustainability, you potato-head. Is anyone else seeing this? It's a green-wash. With all the talk about 80 MPG electric whatever and compost and personal gardens and halogen lamps and a cat that eats his own turds. Like, what's the BFD. This is not sustainable. This makes me, and some cats, very ill. Yeah, eat your vegetables.
