Out of all the currently known Things we need to do to mitigate climate change, can you name any that corporations have done willingly?

As far as anyone knows gas stations have a very competitive market and most have low profit margins. It’s not as simple as someone just deciding to take less profit.

It’s pretty shady to hide how this is being paid for

• illegally skips gas tax?
• illegally does not meet gasoline standards?
• illegal misuse of campaign money?
• illegal Trump-related slush fund?
• other illegal misuse of government money?
• illegal import of sanctioned Russian gasoline?
• corporate funding in illegal expectation of quid pro quo from Trump administration?

There has to be a way for law enforcement to investigate election fraud. However we always trusted the investigators would be legitimate and investigating actual fraud, rather than being the ones perpetrating fraud

the proposed rule would have an annual effect surpassing the $100 million threshold.

Goddam, deceptive subscriptions steal a lot of money every year

Sort of. Was it all air pollution where California was the only state allowed to make its own regulations.

The rest of us could only accept EPA or follow California. While only some of us did, it was most of the wealth, and it was the third world hellholes red states that did not

I’m not sure why you expect a breathalyzer to be more reliable. Any complex technology trying to read biology is subject to failure, especially when deployed in the tens of millions

Maybe. While I don’t expect cops to step up and enforce the law, attorneys general have been fairly active doing so, and have more wins than most people know.

And of course a state law can’t be pardoned by the federal chaos beureau. These people are all cowards, so being able to hold one to legal consequences could have significant deterrence

A more interesting question is when he learns he has a place in history as the most hated, corrupt, self-destructive President ever, is he enough of a narcissist toonly care that he has a place in history?

Haha yeah, and not on any body parts that stretch or expand

Right, like if they found this “really cool” tacky lamp they were excited about. I’ll be happy they foind something that excites them, regardless of my personal opinion

The problem is being cool and edgy was the only positive for tattoos, and that’s no longer true.

One of the problems is the quality of art. Tattoos are permanent but they do fade and your skin does stretch and sag over time. It’s great to appreciate improved art for a few months but the rest of your life has a misshapen fading blob of ink

Then there seems to be an increasing number who just can’t stop. No that misshapen faded blob of ink discoloring your entire arm is not cool

Unfortunately, appointed by the president so firing them may be legit. Another power grab and the foundation for a fixed election but legit

Assuming Congress was willing to use their authority, the check against this is they must be approved by the senate.

There needs to be a quorum of 4 to do anything, so they already couldn’t legally

There’s no mechanism for temporary or acting commissioners, but that has been a common Drump strategy to circumvent Congress. Just declare an acting one, then when the confirmation period expires, declare a new acting one

Well they haven’t found fraud yet, have they? They need to be replaced with people who will find “fraud”, who will get the necessary votes, and disregard votes where there were “illegal immigrants” …… you can tell because they speak Spanish

I think it’s all narcissistic delusion. The dementia just means he’s no longer able to cover it with bombast and gaslighting

Distracting from the Epstein files is only part of it. There an intentional flood of chaos and outrage to distract from each and every violation that’s going on. How can we focus on a secret international cabal of human traffickers and pedophiles when there are illegitimate wars and support for genocide, corruption on never before seen scales, personal enrichment from the government, human rights abuses, and a general cult of supporting some of the most immoral people to have served in government.

I feel like people here aren’t giving enough “credit” to Congress. Historically we’ve relied on different branches of government to keep each other in check. Their own lust for power that drove them to elected office should motivate them to guard and protect that power. However in the current realm there does seem to be a cult of personality where congressmen are judged more on their loyalty to party than on getting things done for their constituents. This extends even to abdicating the power that drove them to be elected.

Congress should be the one keeping Trump in check, at least for all the places where he steps on their own authority. However republicans have decided that party loyalty is more important.

Our founding document is the Constitution, giving Congress sole authority over budgeting, for example. The big ugly bill was passed by Congress to support trumps platform of enriching the rich. That’s legitimate, if disappointing. But everywhere that Trump redirects funding is directly violating constitutional checks and balances, is directly grabbing power from Congress. I no longer expect morality from Congress, but why do they not care that their power is being stolen?

Thank you! I can’t believe I’ve been here three years already!

I believe that initially they were only able to directly connect the vaccine to fewer deaths from cervical cancer. Something like warts is not deadly so probably not considered.

Then it was recommended that boys also get the vaccine because they can be carriers

However now we know the virus causes other forms of cancer as well. Men are not just carriers but can also have cancers caused by the virus.

So they thought it would be free forever, and are surprised by the usage based pricing? I wonder what will happen when ai companies need to be profitable and increase prices accordingly

I don’t know how onto look for this but one of my requirements next time will be responsiveness with the doorbell/video. I have a small front yard so already the Ring has trouble being timely

I was hoping a locally controlled doorbell would be more responsive than a cloud doorbell
