It's 11-12 years to try and slow things down enough. That's not exactly the same but it could end up effectively the same. > It seems like anything even remotely threatening the climate change gospel is treated just as the Cath

I want to leave Seattle cause it's too expensive. Immediately Austin, Denver (or boulder), and Portland come to mind as reasonable alternatives. It's just about money. You can have an absurdly well paying job in Seattle and it rea
