Green and Sustainable is Bad for Governments and Corporations

If the USA were a nation of homesteader permaculturists, the government would be a tiny afterthought annoyance and corporations would be small, too. If the country was really "green" and people really lived a sustainable life, nobody would care about the central authorities beyond seeing them as a major pest and parasite.

If people had core skills and assets to provide their own food and shelter, they would not bow to a central authority. They'd see the government and its employees for what they are.

So what's the "green" rhetoric about: more debt and death. The people in power are complete and total trash. They are not capable of doing anything good.
