"An industrial capitalist society that does not recognize ecological limits but only perpetual economic expansion and has the profit motive as driver, will eventually consume and destroy itself."
"But we will all be taken down with it."

The Ethiopians who run Cup'a Cup'a at G and 21st don't wait to for me to tell them what I want. "Medium coffee?" they ask and I nod. They know me by now, the kid with the buzzed hair and the black hoodie who always comes in right before 10am, scowling at the Italian IMF staffers and really the whole world in general except the three people who are busy getting him coffee.
Partly I'm scowling because I'm angry that I'm so tired, partly I'm angry about my increasing coffee consumption.
