We kept eating the ones that other animals ate and didn't die from, and used the inedible trees for firewood. Eventually it worked out, like all foodstuffs.

What country do you think we're talking about? Half the US thinks they need to genocide brown people abroad to not be victims of Genocide and the other half thinks they need to genocide brown people abroad and at home to not be victims of genocide

Because the point is to create a set of companies that autonomously explore and colonize space under the US flag, having multiple companies participate in the public option ensures at least one can continue on their own, ensuring further than nasa can always get a ride to wherever.

In an ideal world nasa would operate more like it's Chinese counterpart, but given the division in the US and the timeline required for space flight, that's impossible. The first manned flight beyond mars could be defended half way through the journey in the US with no real recourse.

So like all maga, you attack the source instead of the content.

They haven't been met. There is no war. There is a genocide that has been called a genocide by everyone except the people doing the genocide.

Netanyahu also has pledged to end the war permanently. I'm not exactly in support of that, no human being is, only parasitic monsters.

Israel needs to stop the genocide, Harris needs to stop funding genocide, and needs to use those words, not the words of the enemy of humanity.

Just to circle back to this now that I'm more sober,

It's like being mean to customer service people of a bad company.

If you do this you should unironically be put in jail and stopped from having any form of communication device for the rest of your life. I can't overstate how fucking pathetic and psychopathic this thought is.

370 billion, mostly for tax credits that are actively being abused by bad actors, all that don't address the actual problems. Every house could have solar panels and every car could be an EV and it simply would not be enough to get anywherr near carbon neutrality, much less the needed carbon negative to avoid 2c by 2030.

The reality is China proved it was possible to lower emissions by actual green investment, building more green energy production last year than the total green energy capacity of the US. They've hit peak emissions while the US hasn't. This isn't meant as a China good thing, to preempt that nonsensical reply, but merely as a direct example of what the US could do given they have similar (though slightly lower) GDP. At this point in time China produces more green energy than the US produces total.

Yeah, racism tends to do that.

We usually have dedicated baggers in the US, though many stores switched to having the cashier do it due to the 'labor shortage' during the pandemic. It's basically a jobs program, usually given to disabled or older applicants that management wants tax credits for, but don't actually have a use for; also teens that otherwise would be too costly to train if they're only being employed for the summer.

Capitalism breeds innovation in how to pretend labor is necessary for everyone to do.

What importance? Neither party is giving up oil subsidies or really investing all that much into green energy, and neither party has even the slightest thought about criminally investigating investors and owners of oil and coal companies for their, and this cannot be overstated, crimes against humanity that top all other crimes ever committed by any arbitrary grouping of people.

The choices are accelerate climating change incredibly quickly via fake carbon capture technology and carbon credit schemes that not only don't lead to lower total emissions but actually increase emissions, or accelerate even faster by releasing the few regulations we have rregarding the environment.

You did, as that's the point of sanctions, to make a populace believe their government is wrong and the people doing the sanctioning are right. That is the sole attempted effect of sanctions. To punish a populace for not killing themselves against a wall in revolution, or daring to agree that should happen at all.

It has no effect on whether a leader stays in power, or whether a leader changes course. Once a country adapts to the sanctions, they're much more resistant to outside influence. Smart leaders do their best to make life easier for their citizens under this new way of life while the difficult transition away from global trade takes hold.

The ussr collapsed primarily due to competing with the US in the space race and having to spend most of the rest of their limited resources on fighting off US aggression, on top of corruption that went unchecked - again primarily because police resources were being wasted fighting off us aggression, not due to sanctions.
