    I mean, that’s a pretty slippery slope of logic you’re on. We should have addressed anthropogenic climate change in the 70s, but I’m not gonna poo-poo the progress we’ve made.

    I know it sucks that so many things change on a generational scale instead of a year scale, but I was also pretty damn happy about all that institutional inertia slowing down the hard-right turn we took during Trump’s 1st term.

      Being happy with too little too late is exactly why climate change is going be as catastrophic as it will be so I really don’t get how that makes your case. If biden wanted to he could have pressured the dea to deschedule cannabis completely. He didn’t. The DNC hates to lose one of the carrots from their stick.

            …it’s a time machine. By its very nature, it’s never too late to try or care, just as long as you’ve built the damn thing.

            Unless you were going for more of a monkey’s paw/butterfly effect sorta vibe, which, for all we know of how the actual impact and ramifications of time travel actually work (I.e. effectively nothing in terms of concrete data), could be how the universe squares the circle on causality-violating disruption via some heretofore unknown mechanic vibe… in which case, yeah, totally possible.
