@mazouzi That they have better things to do than hang out on these fora all day long?

@tomiahonen Bear Wars?

@hazz223 It would be a difficult thing to calculate, but there should be an impact tax on *all* air travel. Commercial flights might get a break, but non-commercial flights should pay a lot more. Fuel tax and runway tolls.

@Basmitharts Are WaPo and the Grey Lady even worth bothering with? They have been promoting the Orange Menace for most of this year (promoting as in cutting him way too much slack – Biden was old, but Individual-ONE’s steep decline is being ignored).

As of today, August 25, we have had 365 shoot-em-ups this year (incidents in which 4 or more people have taken a bullet). The really sad part is that is more than a hundred less than this time last year. The ugly news is the good news, or something.

@LifeTimeCooking @EllenInEdmonton in the US, it is “chili” powder. And in the US state of New Mexico, they are called “chile” peppers.

@hazz223 just make these people pay the appropriate impact tax

@timjclevenger @farbel @TCatInReality @StillIRise1963 and per passenger

@2V2QtKA@mastodon.social @petergleick Yeah, but it took centuries, so it was not nearly as awful as the Holocaust. Because, reasons.

@paul tickles

@MostlyHarmless Vlad is smarter than Individual-ONE. Really, he is. I swear.

@mdione @rbreich He was part of Bill Clinton's cabinet, so you can assume he means the US federal tax code.

@SkepticalScience IMO, the fossil fuel industry should be wholly seized by the government, so that their profits can be used to push alternatives forward hard. There should be enough dirt on the industry to justify taking them over.

@GreenFire It was put out. So there goes the argument that EVs burn forever.

@VeroniqueB99 Well, there are dubious folk who may be able to steal your vote. They are trying. They are really trying to steal your franchise altogether.
