Incrementalism — the slow, step by step, process of gradual change, often seemingly halting, partial, and incomplete — whereby what in the end can be sweeping reforms, are instituted in a creeping evolutionary manner.
Incrementalism seems to be the watchword for the preferred American approach to instituting change. And if, after the passage of a certain amount of time and a halting, two steps forward and one step back process yields something resembling the desired outcome, and the long desired reform is reached, either fully or substantially, incremental change, while often maddeningly slow and incomplete, gets hailed as the “Great American Method to Implement Reform.” It’s even touted as the best way, at least in the case of the United States of America, to achieve necessary change in the long run.
Unfortunately, there’s a serious problem with being willing to ride out the incremental process over the long run. It was most tellingly, tersely, and pithily described by the great economist, John Maynard Keynes: “In the long run, we are all dead.””
“This long run is a misleading guide to current affairs. In the long run we are all dead. Economists set themselves too ease, too useless a task if in tempestuous seasons they can only tell us that when the storm is long past the ocean is flat again.”

The reason they don’t respond to protest is partly because BlackSchmuck can only gain from the move screwing French citizens. And Macron won’t yield apparently because he sees some benefit$ for himself if he holds out:

There’s no “controlling the narrative”. No “getting out in front of the issue to dictate the interpretation as merely ‘change’”. THE EARTH IS DYING. IT IS GOING TO BE HORRIFYING. ESPECIALLY SO IN AMERICA - THINK COVID

“I’m going to create man and woman with original sin. Then I’m going to impregnate a woman with myself as her child, so that I can be born. Once alive, I will kill myself as a sacrifice to myself. To save you from the sin I originally condemned you to. Ta dah!!!”

Potable water shortage or Govt failure?
The rivers have moved up off the surface into “atmospheric rivers”. Time to extract it accordingly… or feed profit to wall st, nestle, etc
Taking water out of the atmosphere would be a move toward lessening the severity of flooding. But that would e govt solving problems and that is strictly forbidden in America
Make bottled water companies use only ocean water for their product.

"Ocean surface temperatures have hit an all-time high this month, breaking every record since satellite measurements began in the 1980s. "
“The surface of the ocean is now so hot it's broken every record since satellite measurements began”
“The upper levels of the ocean have never been this hot. Blame the end of La Niña and the ever-present heating effect of climate change.”

#SirDavid Attenborough is the most famous nature storyteller on television. The 96-year-old producer, narrator, and documentarian essentially invented the genre of television nature documentaries in his decades-long career at the BBC. Programs like Life on Earth, Blue Planet, and Planet Earth have brought the wild world into the homes of urban dwellers for decades.”
“This is the new extinction and we are half way through it. We are in terrible, terrible trouble and the longer we wait to do something about it the worse it is going to get.” David Attenborough

The misstatements, which began when a family business transferred its holdings to another company, are part of a pattern that has raised questions about how the Supreme Court Justice views his obligation to accurately report details about his finances to the public.”

“BOMBSHELL! French President Says France Is Done “Following” The United States”
“Since the end of World War II the United States has had a near stranglehold on Western European policymakers — compelling countries like the U.K., Germany and France to go along with American imperialist efforts in Africa, the Middle East and Asia. Now those virtual vassal states may be reconsidering their adherence to U.S. foreign policy as the U.S. empire begins to disintegrate while China merely gains in stature and influence on the global stage”
