@biscuit_tornado It would not be so bad if this was just an after life fantasy. The problem is that people take faith and turn it into fact, specific facts such as rules for living and admittance to the Goid Place, straight from the Almighty hisself, for power, control over the herd, and $$$. There is much profit in being a self appointed spokesperson for God. Come to me child, I have the answers you seek. 🤔

pretty fucked up that the people in key decision making positions believe that one day a man will come out of the sky and summon the faithful to heaven in living form and leave this world to be condemned and eventually remade by sky man magic

All the people still pushing for time and resources be put towards nuclear are not serious about addressing the #GlobalWarming that we are now suffering from example #41,893:
A new 1.2 GW solar facility is now providing clean energy to Brazilians. Construction only started in 2021!
We need to stop burning fossil fuels just as fast as we possibly can and #Wind #Solar and #Batteries can get it done the quickest for the lowest cost. https://www.pv-magazine.com/2023/07/06/largest-pv-plant-in-americas-goes-online-in-brazil/
@Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social Not being critical of your statement as a whole because depending on how Nov2024 goes, Revolution could be on the horizon. However, my observation is that when living as part of any social group there is no such thing as absolute freedom. 🤔

Did you think it's kind of crazy for a judge to uphold free speech by imposing a gag order on a non-trivial number of Americans? If so, you have company among the First Amendment experts I spoke to for this breakdown of the incoherent, right-wing-grievance-fueled July 4th ruling ordering much of the Executive Branch to shut up about social-media content moderation. https://newrepublic.com/article/174098/louisiana-judges-anti-biden-social-media-order-makes-zero-sense

@dsacer As you can tell (maybe 😉) I’m pro-environment, but tend to be pessimistic, especially with Nov2024 looming. I’m glad this is happening, so did you say the rules cover agriculture too?

@Huntn00 yes. It's part of the preparation to collect a $1500/ton excise tax on industrial methane release
@dsacer Thanks for your patience, would you say this is a step in the right direction?
@dsacer Thanks! Does it consider biological sources of methane due to agriculture? I guess I could read the report, if you think it would be worth my time. Or I could read a summary. 😉 Group awareness is the first step,. And it is Not helping is that I’ve become a pessimist about the prognosis for the Earth in the hands of Humanity as we seem most likely to burn it and sell it, before succumbing to our nature. 😑

@Huntn00 it's about reporting the release of methane into the atmosphere during extraction of oil and gas. It's not a restriction on extraction.
@nedhamson …despoiling a huge biologically diverse region, releasing huge amounts of carbon into the atmosphere for $$$. I’ve been saying this for a while, just put a fork in us, we are close to being done. 😪

If the US wants Mexico to do more to halt the flow of opioids going northward, the US could start by doing *anything* (it currently does nothing) to halt the flow of guns going southward.
