This kills my only hope …… a couple weeks ago I was trying to be positive on environmental news and made a big deal to my kids that during their lifetime they’ll be able to eat unlimited tuna.

The general recommendation for tuna has always been to limit it to once a week, to moderate mercury poisoning. The mercury is generally from coal emissions. However globally we appear to be at peak coal and likely to drop quickly, given china’s rapid buildout of renewables both there and in developing countries, and given US coal use has been declining for years. In only a couple decades we’ll have greatly reduced mercury contaminating the ocean food chain, a few more years for it to drop out of the food chain, then MTGA, Make Tuna Great Again!

It seems inevitable but this one deranged individual can noticeably slow the process. Can I still hope my kids will see it?

Yep, this is how we keep shifting right. I don’t care how much it smells, when it comes down to the actual election, hold your nose and vote to shift left.

Yeah, they expected to be in jail long before this, so they couldn’t be corrupt

Of course, the problem is transit, not the criminals nor the society that increases desperation and gives desperate people nowhere to turn

Plus all the time loading and unloading. A few tens of seconds per stop over the length of the route adds up

This is really not inevitable, and policy is a huge part of it. I do believe Biden is a poor example here, because that approach to rebuilding manufacturing was to actually invest in it. Especially investing in forward looking technologies. Especially trying to establish longer term consistent policies, especially trying to connect with reality and science

Trying to force a return to “the good old days”, starting trade wars with every one, terrorizing large segments of workers, flip flopping policies for personal gain, isolationism, trying to protect old technologies/manufacturers from competition will never work. This is hugely more self-destructive than hands off

There’s an argument that most of the stuff done in trumps name would be “ok” if he did it legally and that’s what people wanted. It’s the abuse of authority, the personal enrichment, violating the constitution, holding people above the law, enforcing personal feelings, violating checks and balances that are the critical issues.

I wouldn’t want to live in such a society but it would at least be “legitimate”

Those are huge infrastructure projects that take many years. They won’t get finished until he’s out of office or finally transfers to the afterlife. “sure, we’ll put your name on it … when we’re done”

Good question, I may have to “investigate” too. I missed it live but maybe I’ll track down some videos

Gotta bring over his fan group, all those sofas he promised to travel the world

Google finds a lot of responses saying it has generally been possible

1. You need to provide evidence that the vehicle meets U.S. federal safety and emissions standards.
2. But safety and emissions standards have generally been harmonized between us and Canada.

So you can currently buy a car in Canada for the us because passing Canadian requires is proof that it satisfies American requirements. Protectionism does not currently matter but you’d need to cover tariffs. Maybe that will remain true, at least temporarily

Maybe wait 20 years , figure out what loophole allowed a handful of Kei trucks to be imported.

At that point even 20 year old car tech might be more advanced than what we’d be saddled with

What if I goto penn station with my pocket knife and scratch into the tile “Trump is a pedophile”? His name would be on penn station so he’s always be remembered for his deeds!

I’m sure it doesn’t matter what party you register as, but this is purely racist.

They’re not saying they’ll interfere with elections but they may kidnap anyone who looks like an undocumented immigrant who shouldn’t vote. Generally that’s been people with brown skin.

As a white person who is registered Democrat, I wouldn’t be worried at all. However if I were Hispanic or otherwise not obviously white, I sure as hell would be, and may decide I can’t risk voting

This is exactly what Black Panthers tried to solve half a century ago

We’ve learned to expect a huge range of gibberish, but please tell me this is @[email protected]

If any of them are actual lawyers, the bar association also needs to take action, or be complicit. Lying in public statements , defamation, and abusing the legal system for personal gain should not be actions they condone

It’s even possible that judge is doing what he thinks is right

It’s another crime they’re guilty of. Hopefully a continued buildup of evidence will help some true believers see the light, but more importantly it is yet another thing they can be charged with and is harder to cover up.

The court system will never be immediate or truly dramatic, but as long as the wheels of justice continue to grind forward, however slowly, there is hope

I saw the video where the “officer” held their “non-lethal” weapon right up to the face of a non-violent protester and fired. This was clearly intentional and should be treated as such. There is no legitimate complaint about qualified immunity (and no, claiming total immunity doesn’t mean that is legal) or that he didn’t know. This was intent to cause major harm for no reason other than someone disagreed. It was horrible and any actual law and order would impose significant jail time and reparations
