Greta Thunberg Is TIME’s 2019 Person of the Year

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

People In Hong Kong literally dying?

Yeah, I just looked who was actually nominated. I don't read Time so I had to check. I would have went with them too as they also won the reader's poll.

Time produces about 600 tons of carbon dioxide every month producing their magazine.

600 x 12 months in a year = 7,200 tons of carbon dioxide every year.

An average American home produces about 7 tons of carbon dioxide every year.

An average car produces about 5 tons every year.

So if Time really wanted to help the planet they would stop producing their print magazines and it would be the equivalent of removing about 1100 American homes or 1500 cars. But they've done their job, they put Greta Thunberg on their cover.

My bad, I just realized Time is a weekly publication, not a monthly one.

Okay so 600 x 52 = 31,200 tons.

If they stopped printing up this garbage it would be the equivalent of removing 4500 homes or 6300 cars. Do it, Time!

Hong Kong protesters would have been a good choice since they were apparently in the running.

Fighting against a brutal dictatorship to preserve their Democracy while they are literally shot at and beat by police officers seems like a much better candidate.

Democracy is so yesterday. A socialist dictatorship or communism is really the way to go.

Why would Time go against their dream?

When Trump met with Time reporters, he told them that he wanted to be Person of the Year in 2019. But instead they picked a child.

To assuage his disappointment, the Trump campaign's official twitter account has posted a revised image of the Time cover as it should have been..

And before any of you start comparing this to the mention of Trump's young son during the impeachment inquiry, it's not at all the same! Trump's son is only 13. Miss Thunberg is 16. Completely different.

TIME has always been in love with tyrants:

While I realize that you can't have an honest conversation because it may hurt your extremely delicate feelings... you are right: There is a huge difference. Barron Trump hasn't put himself into the public.. he's just the son of someone who did. Greta's parents have paraded her out.. making her a public figure.

Trump definitely made the right decision when he pardoned D'Souza.
