The anger comes because people expected the Democrats to try to stop them. Literally the past 9 years has been nothing but the Democrats saying that everyone has to vote for them because they will stop the Republicans. Like, that’s the whole platform, “we are less bad than the Republicans”.

Luckily gerrymandering has split a lot of the country into districts that are safe for one party or the other, so a lot can be done in those without just flipping from Democrats to Republicans or vice versa.

It was all over the second Google changed their motto from “don’t be evil”.

30% by 2035, I think?

What do you mean? I don’t know what a carve out is.

I always find the same study referenced, which was good science but also almost 30 years old. I wonder if this is still true for modern batteries?

This seems plausible, so I searched and found this on the Wikipedia:

Various studies have examined who gives more to charity. A study in the United States found that as income decreases, charitable giving increases as a percentage of income. For instance, the poorest fifth of Americans donated 4.3% of their income, while the wealthiest fifth donated 2.1%. In absolute terms, this translated to an average donation of $453 from an average income of $10,531, compared to $3,326 from an income of $158,388.

As was intended.

Malta and Ireland?

Be careful. Lying to police can get you sent to prison for a long time.

Saying nothing is a better option.

Yes, but the UK would have to switch to the Euro, and they wouldn’t get the rebate on their EU contribution. Maybe we could also require they completely switch to metric. And what the hell, drive on the correct side of the road.

And finally, and I cannot express how important this is, they would have to have the hot and cold water come out of a single faucet.

My money was on Trump to start a war with Iran in March or April 2026, so things were ramped up before the elections. If the expected wartime popularity bump happens then just win the election, otherwise cancel then due to war reasons.

But I guess it’s looking more like wat against Venezuela or possibly Nigeria? 🙈

I think the point is that while certainly some Americans would not want someone of Indian descent as President, there are a lot more who would be upset by a black President.

The European communities have some activity.

I guess. But I still admire Bernie and AOC, so what do I know?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

SLAPP is designed to prevent people like Trump from using the legal system to silence and otherwise harm critics.

I thought SLAPP was for civil cases though?

Do you though? I mean, a satellite orbiting the sun between the earth and the sun could cast a large shadow, right?

It would be up to his minions in the Senate.

I guess the idea is that people buy new cars more often than they need to, but with EV being more expensive more people will wait longer before replacing their car. Which doesn’t seem horrible to me.
