OF SYCOPHANTS AND CHILDREN: One of the many reasons to love Issues & Insights is its no-nonsense refusal to go with the flow of mainstream media adulation of Greta Thunberg and similar teen scolds telling the rest of us how evil we are for not heeding AOC’s prophesy of ecological doom in 12 years. Here’s a sample from today’s offerings:

“The world can’t help but know about Thunberg, the 16-year-old Swedish scold who seems to have dropped out of school to travel the world and impudently lecture her elders about how they have let her down. Though this girl knows nothing about climate other than it exists around her, and less about the world, adults nod in agreement as she rants, hand her multiple honors and awards, and have sworn they have been inspired as well as properly chastised by her.”
