Die Native American Association hat dazu einen Beitrag auf ihrer Website, aus "aktuellem Anlass". Das ist die Vereinigung, deren Vorsitzende, Carmen Kwasny, im Artikel zur Sprache kommt (bzw auf deren Stellungnahme gegenüber der Katholischen Nachrichtenagentur von der FAZ Bezug genommen wird).

"Die Frage, ob es sinnvoll ist, das Wort "Indianer" aus dem deutschen Sprachgebrauch zu verbannen, kann definitiv nicht mit wenigen Sätzen beantwortet werden. Wir brauchen dafür viel mehr Zeit und weitere Informationen. Das ständige Wiederholen der stets gleichen Argumente bringt uns nicht weiter. Es ist ein längerer Prozess und es ist wichtig, dass wir dies gemeinsam tun."

Falls jemand wirklich mal Lust hat die Perspektive von Betroffenen zu erfahren und etwas tiefer einzutauchen.

Derweil in Hessen:

https://www.hessenschau.de/panorama/hessische-cannabis-clubs-warten-noch-immer-auf-lizenzen--v3,cannabis-vereinigungen-genehmigungen-100.html

Seit rund sechs Monaten ist Kiffen legal, seit drei Monaten dürfen Cannabis-Clubs Gras anbauen - theoretisch. Praktisch haben die Behörden in Hessen noch keine einzige Lizenz erteilt. Anbau-Clubs beklagen bürokratische Hürden.

Sounds like massive human bias at play. Any source?

Thanks, I had to think of this one too.

That would be cruel to the people hit by a natural Desaster, people that might not be on board with this law at all.

Further it would just give the right wings nuts a reason to point to how evil Democrats are.

I instead propose to create a safety fund on the federal level that can be used to support states hit by natural Desaster. Just call it something realy obvious, like the "Climate Change Damge Mitigation Fund". Make it a requirement that states publicly announce how much money they are asking for from said fund.

As a GM I would give my players a bonus to stealth during a total eclipse if they wanted to sneak past some guards, so I think this is a very valid take. ;-)

It realy is.

I see this kind of realy devastating change in many areas in nature. There used to be frogs in our garden when I grew up, I would listen to them every evening right outside my bedroom window. Now they are gone.

I see it in the Forests, where huge swats of trees have died over the last couple of years. There are areas in our forests now, that look like war zones, because drouth followed by to much rain in combination with invasive bugs have killed or weakens them so much.

Going back another generation, my brother, who is 16 years older, told be about field hamsters who where so plentyfull in the fields, that the local kids would earn money by hunting them and turning their corpses in for money in the village center. In the 16 years between my bother and me the European field hamster has, consequently, gone almost extinct. I never have seen one in my life.

And while all this is by its nature very anecdotal, these are areas where climate change and the way we treat nature as something alien realy feels close to me. And to be honest: It fucking scares me.

The link on that website doesn't work for me.

Sounds solid. Now come up with a way to implement this without causing riots.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32589139/

It has a summary in plain language after the very technical abstract.

If you are just looking for an article instead of a study it's easy enoth to come up with plenty of them if you Google for it.

You can fuck right off with that attitude, mate.
