Chavez Just Saying It Like It Is

Say what you want about about the man, but you can't argue with this...

"If the climate was a bank [the US] would already have saved it."

The US state as it functions today is not about making a better climate for human life but a better climate for business.

The Stranger depends on your continuing support to provide articles like this one. In return, we pledge our ongoing commitment to truthful, progressive journalism and serving our community. So if you’re able, please consider a small recurring contribution. Thank you—you are appreciated!
