It's almost comical that his election tagline was, "vote for change", and then he refused to accept the change his constituents voted for.

That's a great point. Doesn't much matter if there are methods in place if many are complicit in the tyranny.

I feel the global economy won't be too bad off. Likely some collateral damage, but the United States on the other hand...

I blame the moon for not being blue more often.

That is promising, though it would be a good next step to the consumption sites rather than a replacement for them.

The consumption sites would be good first points of contact so users could be provided the treatment centre information.

Definitely an effective way to make a political ally.

However, it's possibly intended to be that way. Now he can tell his base that he asked the NDP to join him and they refused.

I think there's a lot of opportunity for reducing wasted energy in many buildings. Even the term "waste heat" is indicative that energy is typically exhausted when it could be used for space or water heating. Obviously mechanical modifications would be needed, sometimes extensive, but it's a good option for reducing energy use.

I think carbon footprint calculations should really include imported carbon. My "electronic device" was manufactured in China. The carbon emitted in its manufacture should follow the product to me, as I am the reason it was manufactured.

People blaming China and other countries that manufacture a significant amount of products with relatively dirty power are really just shirking the blame. When imported carbon is considered, the US and Canada are the worst polluters per capita.

EV maintenance cost is quite low compared to ICE vehicles. Brakes and suspension are probably the biggest wear items, but brakes have comparatively less wear because of the regen braking.

Just going to leave this here...

Passing with dignity and on your own terms? Sign me up (when the time comes). I know a provider who does these. Death is often a very sad thing, but in the medical field transitioning to providing this service as comfort, rather than simply preserving life of any definition, it can be a loving, even more celebratory event.

She put it simply, "would you want your last words to be 'I love you,' or 'I can't breathe'?" You can be a vegetable in a hospital bed, or you can be in your favorite chair at home, listening to your favorite music, with friends and family by your side. I know which option I'd take if I am fortunate to get to choose.
