Yes, you're investing in the work of other people - there are people who are still working. Work won't totally go away,
But there MIGHT be less of it - we'll still get our stuff, or our business stuff, even if no one is working to drive the delivery trucks, or write the boilerplate, or appeal the litigation, or plan the next day or next season.
If we get paid to work, and there's less work, and we still have as much or more stuff, we'll need to figure out how to pass it around without feeling like some people don't deserve it.

I went through higher ed in a family who had never got out of high school, so I had little guidance or useful experiences to draw on. I remember discussing studying Electrical Engineering with dad, who kept asking, "wouldn't you rather work with numbers?". As an example.
There are now families with more education but similar disconnect.

You're right, we need more renewables; there's no reason to stimulate any coal or nuclear until more renewables are built out, of all kinds: wind, solar, storage, hydro, and creative implementations. We've barely started building out renewables, and misinformation is still being flung around about their limitations. We need a central government initiative, and we're instead getting central government grift-funded boondoggles.

Heâ(TM)s got that handy pardon power, and the Roberts Court to free him from jams. He thinks heâ(TM)s golden, and heâ(TM)s still walking free despite convictions & charges. Tariff madness lets him take favors from around the world for cut-outs. Heâ(TM)ll stick anyone in a Squid-games prison for disagreeing. Heâ(TM)s squeezing the world economy for no reason whatsoever, and threatening to just take areas, islands, even countries also for no reason. Heâ(TM)s shutting down medical research, university funding, Medicare, all federal employment, any government reference to any history not performed by white people. He claims heâ(TM)s going to stay president forever, end voting, give himself a $200 million party on our dime for his birthday. Heâ(TM)s a one-man international disaster in several dimensions. This isnâ(TM)t even a complete list, by a lot.

Shutting down cryptocurrency fraud enforcement is pretty consistent with the mess heâ(TM)s making.
