May they can fake this somewhat convincingly, since Trump and his cabinet are a bunch of fucking retards.
Need to reframe this:
"The satellites measure success of our roaring industry! The higher values, the better."
I would say that if presidents are allowed to be this corrupt, no long-term legislation or treaties can possibly be assumed to survive in between presidencies ... except that would imply that the US is still a representative democracy when the reality is otherwise.
Yeah, if the Democrats weren't a fucking joke of a controlled opposition, they'd be running on total rollback: declare a state of emergency and remove and detain every single Trump appointee, repeal every single executive order, reverse every single item of legislation, revoke every grant, cancel every contract signed during the Trump administration. Then ban any Trump appointee from ever holding office again, blacklist every recipient of a federal contract awarded for the first time under Trump, shut down any "nonproit" that served as a fascist front organization, and revoke the corporate charter of any corporation involved in corrupt lobbying.
measuring things is woke
I read this this is the voice of Butthead. To which Beavis would reply "Heh, heh, yes, we need more FIRE!"
yeah all that "quantitative objective science" liberal BS
/s
Oh god how do we share a planet with these troglodytes
Perhaps this is what the great filter is. Any species that's intelligent, but isn't a hivemind; dies out via the stupidity of the collective -- sure, you can have accumulated knowledge, but if half (being extremely generous in our case) of your entire species is made up of drooling fucking morons that will actively drag the rest of you down, what good is it?
Ban rulers, speedometers, fuel gauges and pressure sensors! Cook meat on a gut feeling! Destroy all cups! Long dresses for all so we can't see feet! YAAARGH!
Cook meat on a gut feeling!
Anyone who needs a thermometer to cook meat is either a minimum-wage flunky who can't find their ass with both hands and a map, or shouldn't be cooking meat at all.
That's why no more weather service. If you can't see the F5 Hurricane barrelling down on you it doesn't exist.
If we don't test for CO2, then no-one can complain that we have high levels of it taps forehead - that's big, beautiful brain thinking right there.
Same thing he did with Covid and the jobs guy last week
This is some "Don't Look Up" type shit. Can't happen if you don't acknowledge it.
Just relabel the satellites as methanedione detector and good for the plants for big beautiful grasses and they are not going to check back
I guess as an American I'm counting on the rest of the world to continue working on problems while we sit here and shit in our own mouths for the next 3.5 years(hopefully just 3.5)
Hopefully by a few different miracles, a much much shorter amount of time
I don't trust Americans to fix their own problems.
Yeah because it turns out they can't aim worth a damn.
I will never understand why that dipstick didn't just spend some more time at a range. So much so that I'm starting to believe that it was a false flag.
Like, really, you try to assassinate someone under secret service protection -- arguably making them one of the most difficult people to assassinate -- and you don't even put in a few weekends of range time? You don't even zero your optic properly? You get as far as using a rangefinder and figuring out the distance to your target ahead of time, but you don't bother zeroing your optic. Really? Make it make sense to me.
I am just amaze at how Americans (and those residing in America) have truly been conditioned and pacified to accept such blatant act of self-harm being inflicted. Never mind the defunding of climate change research, but defunding welfare is really the red line most other governments will never cross. In France, they riot whenever welfare is touched. In Russia, of all places, the only time Putin was seriously challenged by the public was when he announced pension reforms. And then he backed down! A dictator!
Americans have been brainwashed to think free healthcare, unemployment benefits and childcare is bad for them! Not even conservatives in other countries will dare touch the welfare because it is a political suicide! What is happening in the US right now is the culmination of liberal values it was founded on; worshiping the altar of individualism at the expense of the common good.
I remember reading once that we (America) never had a true labor revolution because the labor movement was always divided by racism. It may not always be racism, but during reconstruction the powers that be definitely learned that keeping the lower classes fighting among each other will keep them rich.
We DO have labor history in this country. Unless you're from one of the union stronghold states like Pennsylvania, it isn't taught much.
Even in the founding of our country most of the founders were merchant class. France and Russia have a cultural history of killing monarchs. The US has a cultural history of the wealthy finding a way to keep making money. These two things happened in similar ways but the way that they're framed historically are completely different. Your revolutions are taught to be about bread and injustice. Ours are taught to be about taxes.
Poor Thomas Paine. He tried so hard to help put us on the right track.
It's somewhat that, but the key point is the manufactured consent that our biggest corporations prescribe via their media subsidiaries. I'd argue America has the best propaganda in the world. WE'RE #1!!! WOOOO
This is why I don’t care about MAGAts. They are enemies of the human species and we should all be preparing to over throw these people when they try stealing the next election.
I am walking 12 miles a day at time just to get my millennial bones in shape. Pushing almost 300lbs on the bench and curling over 145lbs for sets. Get ready people. We need to defend this world.
I bought a shotgun, and once a month aim to do a gunnery drill for 150 shells. It is exhausting and expensive, but should be a good benchmark for the results of my swimming exercises: About an hour and a half of water weights, walking, and swimming. Probably another 20 minutes in the steam and hot rooms. Figure I need enough strength and endurance to patrol and wield a rifle.
If there is a 2nd American Civil War, the good guys will need infantry, and I intend to be part of the ranks. I won't excel, but at least it frees up skilled people to hack, drone, or spy on the MAGATs.
Watching every organization and person capitulate to this bullshit is exhausting. There’s a real cool word you can use when someone tells you to do something fucking stupid and authoritarian:
The same thing the Trump administration does every time a judge tells them to stop doing something
Do you think Trump respects when someone tells him no? The guy who's been accused dozens of times of rape? He (and any other fascist) speaks and understands only one language: violence.
If I was in his position and absolutely had to part with the sats, I would SELL or RENT them out. Like how a genuine businessman would. This bull is stupid on all the levels.
I think the intention is to get rid of the data being provided to fix global warming. If the satellite is sold the data would turn up in some fashion eventually.
Have republicans actually ever done anything that hasn't been absolute dog shit decision?
Budd Dwyer blew his brains out on live TV. Granted it was on a snow day when all the kids were at home watching TV. Maybe not the best decision but it did lead to one less republican wasting oxygen.
Just like every other dictatorships, the Trump regime wages war on knowledge and data.
And it's not new either: this started on day one of Trump's "presidency", and it should have been an ominous sign of things to come.
Americans voted for this. What a sad, sad country.
NASA, please say you destroyed it but instead turned it over to a country who gives a shit about the world. I know there are so few of them but this is such a waste.
I have come to the conclusion that Trump is actually an alien. He is helping to prepare our planet for the arrival of his species by ensuring CO2 levels quickly reach a more tolerable level. It's the only explanation that makes sense.
Honestly, I WOULD prefer him to be some kind of alien super agent. It is a lot less depressing than the alternative.
Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.
As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:
How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:
Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
