It turns out it's beef, not donuts.
While I'm a nihilist at heart, I can't righteously shift the blame on to the average, dying-from-poverty < 38 year old. For decades, we've known that corporate interests are what drives the largest amount of climate change (and that it's the engine that will likely kill all of us before a changing climate does). Not since the 90's (arguably earlier) has it been an individual and his dollar.
Grow up and take a little responsibility in your communication.
"His dollar"? Responsible communication lol
There's plenty of blame for everyone in western countries at least. Profit drives corporations and those profits come from people buying their crap without caring about the consequences. Blame business all you like but corporate profits don't exist in a vacuum.
...but also the larger issue - younger generations have never had the economic power to invest in the outcome of the world, which kinda sucks, lol.
I'm sorry you don't understand the conventions of the English language if that's what you mean to imply.
