19) "loan up to $3 trillion over 20 years to individuals to purchase heat pumps, solar panels, batteries, and other technologies for their residences" once again, if we build a renewable network, there is no need to invest in efficiency upgrades
20) "Quintuple the budget for the U.S. Forest Service to $24.5 billion for at least 5 years, and specifically tailor it to focus on fire prevention" this fails to acknowledge the main issue with wildfires today is the fire prevention actions of the past create environments prone to mega fires
21) "Establish a National Fire Insurance Program" another program to have poor states like West Virginia help ensure those in rich states for living in risk prone environments. In one breath the report rises concern on the flooding insurance program but then calls for a fire insurance program.
i like
1) removing government subsidies for construction in flood zones. The leading cause of increased hurricane damage costs is directly related to increased construction cost/values in flood zones and higher population density in flood zones, not the flooding itself. Why is the coal minor in West Virginia subsidizing rich retired white peoples home insurance via the government who live in flood zones in florida
2) removing subsidize for energy companies (but it should go both directions no subsidies for oil, coal, gas, nuclear, wind, solar, etc)
3) like it mentions getting rid of farming subsides. unfortunately its not across the board as it stipulates "a portion"
4) "offer military assistance in stabilizing and rebuilding the region, improving its ability to withstand climate change" at least he is admitting that at some point military action will be required for climate change initiatives.
I remember Chernobyl. I remember watching Bugs Bunny when Ted KOPPEL (I think) cut in.
I trust y'all will understand why I'm hesitant to jump head first onto the nuclear bandwagon.
Nuclear denial is science denial
Chernobyl was 45 deaths, how many deaths are associated with coal?
And how much of the damage that actually happened at chernobyl was actually caused by the 'dangers' of nuclear instead of because they were cutting corners, and operating the reactor recklessly?
The us had 89 coal deaths the same year as chernobyl
And that is just mining deaths, norhing relates to coal plants, carbon impact, etc
@Putz
*"Chernobyl was 45 deaths, how many deaths are associated with coal?"*
¿And how many cancers?
@wolfman1911
That's certainly fair. 😕
I'm not saying *¡HELL NO WE WONT SOMETHING-SOMETHING NUCLEAR SOMETHING! ¡ATICCA! ¡ATICCA!"* but I'm not going to let people pretend it's all flowers and lolipops and rainbows and glittery horse shit, either.
The whole idea of "hate crimes" is stupid. Does any reasonable person believe the motivation behind this attack was hate? Could the other charges not stand on their own?

Got to start committing love crimes.
Conclusions
Persons with transsexualism, after sex reassignment, have considerably higher risks for mortality, suicidal behaviour, and psychiatric morbidity than the general population. Our findings suggest that sex reassignment, although alleviating gender dysphoria, may not suffice as treatment for transsexualism, and should inspire improved psychiatric and somatic care after sex reassignment for this patient group.
was that medium article posted so we could see all the comments dragging the author?
how the hell are they going to get paid? is he telling us that he wants government-controlled media? maybe he wants a return to ussr-style propaganda... Its not like them being owned by corps has stopped them from being horrible pieces of shit full of propaganda, so I don't see how a difference would be made in the makeup of the news they publish
Yeah... Total failure. The goal definitely wasn't to get this exact result

who knew straight people were so oppressed 😟
good
Good?
yea the protesters won
strait people have never been oppressed the entire idea of 'strait pride' is dumb. the pride idea is because in the passed it wasn't possible
Why isn't it just as dumb to have LGBT pride? You are still being proud of something that you supposedly have no control over, and I've always been told that is stupid and pointless.
Then you've missed my point entirely. The goal of the straight pride parade wasn't to throw off their oppression, but to bait Big Gay into providing some good sound bytes and video clips to craft some propaganda out of. Now they can show how much they hate the straights.
All the protestors played themselves
Wolf man when in history were people oppressed for being strait
Or as another person put it "the only thing dumber than straight pride is everyone who's mad about it"
Homosexuality is a mental disorder. The oppression people with this condition experienced in the past is no different than how other mental disorders were treated.
oh boy
We’re still learning on how to handle mental disorders. I don’t think any significant progress will be made until we start learning how to treat these conditions better
<:PepeLaugh:565528391336329216>
do you think they have less value than those without these traits
*so what you're saying is...*
