Almost a troll-like insistence on lack of nuance to an extremely complex situation

I believe black people’s lives matter. I hold that view so strongly that I’m willing to shout it in the streets. Does that make part of a political extremist movement?

That’s quite the false equivalence you’ve made there

I’ll take both please

Pretty sure Whole Foods had shitty conservative executives back then too didn’t they?

Because they don’t care about quality in depth content. They’re just in it for the clicks. Probably had an algorithm fill in the remaining paragraphs

Right? Name one thing, anywhere in humanity, that somebody isn’t profiting from

Even accounting for how car-centric US cities are, I agree with that commenter. Yeah it may be hard to get downtown from outlying neighborhoods without a car, but sidewalks have ramps and building have access. Hell, the parking lots have designated parking spaces. Not true at all in most European cities

Edit: I guess it’s worth a little more nuance than just limping all European cities in the same category. The wealthier northern cities have definitely caught up a bit (though they all still have buildings that are completely inaccessible). The real problems are the southern cities like Rome, Madrid, Athens, Lisbon etc.

New one for the growing list of climate funds!

Environmental damage is reversible

Oh good point, it’s not like some gigantic bathtub

I don’t know much about how the canal works… why does it need rain water? Isn’t it connected to the ocean on both ends?

I get that there’s a system of locks to raise/lower ships, but dont those just pump salt water in/out?

Does it really need to push the idea that a new conflict is coming though? The US military moves people around with unclear (public) reasons often.

That ship has got to be quite a bit heavier than pre-industrial sail ships though right?

Motive, not means

You gotta love a headline that presumes to know the motive for a murder

He just needed to feed the idea of it to his base. They won’t know or care that it was an imaginary report, and will never hear that the press conference was canceled.

Oh god. When one of the most unstable, poverty-stricken counties in the world is at risk of “spiraling out of control”, it’s really bad. Today it’s a refugee crisis and genocide, next year it’ll be mass food insecurity :(

Especially disheartening because there was genuine optimism in 2019.
