Mid 2023

There have been several extreme heat waves in different parts of the world this summer, including Europe, the United States, and China. 

These heat waves have caused widespread health problems and deaths.

And we can imagine easily, that without any drastic changes in our economic ways, it is going to become the new 'normal'

There have also been several large wildfires this summer, in places like Greece, Turkey, and California. These wildfires have caused widespread damage and displacement.

Here are some things that we can do to address climate change:

• Reduce our emissions of greenhouse gases.
• Invest in renewable energy sources.
• Protect our forests.
• Adapt to the impacts of climate change that are already happening.

By taking these steps, we can help to mitigate the effects of climate change and build a more sustainable future for ourselves and for generations to come.

How would late stage capitalism look like

1. Growing inequality: The gap between the rich and the poor is widening, with the richest 1% of people now owning more wealth than the bottom 90% combined. CHECKED
2. Deregulation: Governments are increasingly deregulating the economy, giving corporations more power to exploit workers and the environment. CHECKED
3. Financialization: The economy is increasingly focused on financial speculation, rather than on productive investment. CHECKED
4. Monopolies: A small number of corporations are increasingly dominating the economy, giving them more power to control prices and wages. CHECKED
5. Globalization: The economy is becoming increasingly globalized, with corporations moving production to countries with lower wages and environmental standards. CHECKED
6. Environmental degradation: The environment is being degraded at an alarming rate, due to pollution, climate change, and other factors. CHECKED

What could be the negative consequences, well ...

• Social unrest: As the gap between the rich and the poor widens, social unrest is likely to increase.Look at France, and understand that we're heading for more troubles.
• Political instability: The concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a few could lead to political instability, as the majority of people feel increasingly marginalized.
• Environmental collapse: The degradation of the environment could lead to environmental collapse, with catastrophic consequences for the planet. Look at all the recent fires, flood, heat waves and natural catastrophes we had this summer 2023!

If we are to avoid the negative consequences of late stage capitalism, we need to take action to address the underlying problems. This could include measures such as increasing regulation of the economy, breaking up monopolies, and investing in sustainable development.

Apocalypse J-Lo

After the nuclear blast, Jennifer Lopez was suffering from radiations, and she knew she was dying. She collapsed to the ground, and a group of survivors arrived and took Lopez to their bunker, where they could tend to her wounds.

The doctors at the bunker knew that Lopez would not survive without major surgery. They decided to give her cyber extensions to replace her damaged organs. The surgery was a success, and Lopez was able to live.

But she was not the same person she was before. The cyber extensions gave her superhuman strength and speed. She could also hack into computer systems and control machines with her mind.

Lopez had to come to terms with her new body and its capabilities. She was no longer the vulnerable woman she used to be. She was now a powerful being who could do anything she wanted.

Lopez decided to use her new powers for good. She became a protector of the innocent, and she fought against the forces of chaos. She used her cyber extensions to help rebuild the world, and she created a better future for humanity.

Apocalypse J-Lo

The year is 2042. The world is a very different place than it was just a few decades ago. The climate has changed drastically, and natural disasters are now commonplace. The economy has collapsed, and there is widespread poverty and hunger. In this dystopian world, Jennifer Lopez is a lone survivor, trying to make her way in a world that has been ravaged by chaos.

One day, J-Lo is caught in a nuclear attack. She is the only one to survive, and she is forced to flee the city. She wanders the ruins of the world, searching for food and shelter. Along the way, she encounters other survivors, who are just as desperate as she is.

Lopez eventually finds a group of survivors who have banded together to form a community. They live in a hidden bunker, where they are safe from the dangers of the outside world. Lopez joins the community, and she helps them to rebuild their lives.

However, the outside world is not going to give up easily. The forces of chaos are still at work, and they will stop at nothing to destroy the last vestiges of humanity. Lopez and her friends must fight to survive, and they must find a way to rebuild a better world.

Summer 2023

Let us embrace this change with grace,
And meet the future with an open face.
For in this global warming, we'll find our way,
To a brighter, better, brand new day.
