I wish you would send separate newsletters, since you span across a number of topics. I'll reply on a couple of points, nevertheless.
(1) The arguments that "it's good for business" and that "it will create jobs" lost their relevance long ago. I am reminded of Ibsen's play, AN ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE. The harsh, ugly reality is that we have run roughshod over the environment for decades, and we now face unparalleled levels of pollution and global warming.
(2) These specious arguments are yet more offensive when they ignore the human casualties and consequences. Whether we refer to violations of sacred lands or pollution of air, soil, and water, the fact that "it will create jobs" is irrelevant.
(3) Finally, the Democrats lost everything in 2024, in large part because the Biden administration supported genocide. Alas, few liberals and far less than 100% of the progressives are willing to use the "G-word," yet the numbers speak for themselves (cf., loss of Arab-American and Muslim-American voters in swing states). In fact, a number of "liberals" have been ominously silent about the obscene notion that those who are critical of Netanyahu and Israeli foreign policy are somehow "anti-Semitic."
