Works the same on the federal level, too. Here is an oldie but goodie from 2013:

• Spend EVERY day having a press announcement on it and bashing the GOP with the latgest bully pulpit on the planet
• Expand and pack the court
• Push a court case that it was their duty.
• Push a case that it threatened national security based on issues it was holding up.
• Move to just put someone in the seat regardless and let it get argued in the courts meanwhile the seat is filled.
• withhold all federal funds to any state who’s senator was blocking it
• Any number of creative parliamentary maneuvers that let the GOP decide everything even when they’re in the minority
• BREAK ALL NORMS, just like the GOP did in stealing th pick. But Dems roll over and play victim. It’s all they EVER do, even when they control Hoise, Senate and POTUS at the same time.

There’s a ton of other shit too, but you get the point. Obama was quiet most days and played victim, bc the billionaires who owned him and who he bailed out of the financial crisis told him to ge a good boy and he did.

Upvoted for FACT.

But theyre not recycled much–YET.

Agree and excitedly look forward to growth in that market (or even having a market for it). They will eventually become a profitable recycling opportunity. Unless one of the other battery techs (tons of them) in development just completely supplanted them. Either way the impact should diminish over time. Main questions are how fast and long will they continue to be an environmental negative.

Rechargeable nickel–cadmium (Ni-Cd), nickel metal hydride (Ni-MH), lithium-ion (Li-ion) and nickel–zinc (Ni-Zn), can also be recycled. Disposable alkaline batteries make up the vast majority of consumer battery use, but there is currently no cost-neutral recycling option.

EDIT: You can read further down how close some of these companies are to an actual recycling center. They’re getting there!

After the upcoming Civil War. I’m not advocating for it, but I definitely think it’s inevitable.

Billionaires have paid BOTH Republicans and Democrats for this legal victory. It’s another reason Obama didn’t fight hard for his pick, and why the dems didn’t stop Drunky McRape from getting a seat.

Theater was fine, but this is what all those campaign “donations” (read bribes) were for.

This type of shit causes civil wars.

I seriously can’t recommend Kagi enough! Make an account and do a hundred searches (FREE) that aren’t monetized and/or used to advertise to you or steal your data. It’s incredible what a difference it makes.

Correction, until we have a tug from the right. There’s just the current tug between center-right dems and fascist, racist GOP. Both capitalist parties, thereby both requiring a fascist force.

And police are tied with grounds maintenance, and maintenance workers. But only one of the three gets military hardware. ><

Cops are 22nd most dangerous career in America. They don’t even cut it in the TOP 20. This according to the University of Delaware. Good thing we LITERALLY give them military hardware and equipment to use on the citizens.

Even legitimately tracking law enforcement federally is difficult and half ass’d, and always opposed by some of the worst criminals in our country the Police Unions (they misspell “organized crime ring” as “union”). There’s always bullshit like “voluntary compliance”, and failure to follow up on no compliance at all, it’s god-damed ridiculous.

I feel you, and don’t have a good coping mechanism for this one, plus it’s hard as shit to not have an emotional take on it, hence the difference of the title in my community. https://lemmy.world/post/10842873

When a fact looks like propaganda to you, then you need to recognize the red flag and seek self improvement.
