The 20th century antivax movement started, as all things do, as a grift.
not-a-doctor Andrew Wakefield falsified evidence and commited fraud to make people believe the MMR vaccine was dangerous.

“The worst person you know just made a good point.”
You severely underestimate how far people will go for the tiniest bit of power and some money.

Banning solar and wind program…
What’s the reverse of virtuesignalling? Singnalling?
Just hire a wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man. No information will be lost
I mean, yeah, but all those happen mostly to burn it.
All of the petroleum used to lubricate a windmill over its entire lifetime is likely less than the petroleum used in a single day of a traditional petroleum based power generation system of the same capacity.

I didn’t vote for him, I voted for Rachele Fruit, Socialist Workers Party candidate for U.S. president.

It works pretty good for the rest of us. Of course, we all didn’t keep multi-century old document without ever changing it, because every other country realized that just going “Akshully, the law means something different now” is extremely stupid.
