This is so bloody unreal. The main suspect was even a registered Republican. All of this according to the FBI.

There was some evidence that the Reichstag was torched by the Nazis as well. I can really do without the irony.

Shutting down oil refineries seems like a very effective form of protest to me.

What about slow driving? Cars are bigger anyway and if you for example need some time to slowly cross a red light one car per phase, it completly crashes the cities transport system. For a city like London that would work perfectly.

When a BBC correspondent phoned a company to clarify the details about the length of a shift, the recruiter refused to provide the information, but immediately offered to hire the reporter.

LOL

So they want self driving cars, which do not brake for pedestrians and cyclists? Do I understand this correctly?

We failed to prevent climate change, but it can get a lot worse. It is a bit like claiming we should stop build houses, because we have not prevented homelessness.

She also favored a ban on hydraulic fracturing, known as fracking, which Mr. Biden said he opposed.

This actually would be big. Most US oil and gas production is from fracking.

As California’s attorney general, Ms. Harris challenged federal approvals of offshore fracking along the California coast.

And another big source of US oil production to challenge.

But she also took positions far to the left of Mr. Biden on climate change.

That sounds really great. As does this:

price on carbon, with a dividend that would have been returned directly to households.

$7trillion is three times the GDP if Brazil. It is bigger then the US federal budget. Seriously it is insane.

So we need the ECB to start QE in a big way to buy back government bonds. However the Saudis do not own too many.

We also have to go electric on transportation and that much much faster. Only a third of the EUs oil comes from the US and Norway. The rest comes from mainly dictatorships. Going green means supporting democracy. Staying on fossil fuels means supporting dictatorships.
