Dude, 9/11 was "never forget" -- it was forgotten by the 15th year. The lessons of World War II? Not a lot of faith left in the ol' education system these days. (I know that's America centric, but I bet this trend isn't unusual for most places)

"This disaster has rung a big alarm for Sino-Metals Leach and the mining industry," [says company directly responsible.]

Yeah, no it hasn't. This isn't the first mining dam to fail with consequences. It won't be the last. No one at that company is losing sleep over this.

Both mines have now halted their operations after orders from Zambian authorities, while many Zambians are angry.

Gotta let it die down. Placate the masses. Then back to business as usual.

Realistically, this makes no difference.

Denying Tesla the sale of a second car to a second person makes no difference because they already got the first sale of the first car? Pretty sure Tesla would prefer to sell two cars instead of one, and get the profit directly. There is an assumption here that the original buyer (who sold the car) went and bought another Tesla, which is in conflict with the other poster saying people should sell their Tesla (as it move away from the brand).

The only ones who will buy Teslas now are conservatives and they will buy new ‘just to show support for Musk’.

So, let them. It's still not getting Tesla what they ultimately want -- money -- long as the original owner doesn't buy a Tesla themselves.

Subscriptions might be an argument that Tesla could still profit, but then the question is where/how do they profit more from ownership?

The United States has a history of organizing campaigns to crush terrorist organizations. A month ago, the United States designated six cartels as terrorist organizations, which prompted Mexico to issue a warning about the United States attempting any sort of invasion or incursion. This is also occuring in tandem with the current President of the United States going on about taking Greenland and Panama, and how Canada should be part of the United States, which was also interpreted as a suggestion of a hostile takeover.

And then there are reports of them having been mulling options since November, talk of it by political candidates in 2023, talk by sitting members of Congress and even legislation introduced in support of it within Congress.

Not so curiously, these acts have been exclusively done by Republicans, also known as the Right-Wing.

Of course, if you could show that Democrats were as keen on the idea of invading Mexico, then calling it right-wring would be in error.

Well, you'd have to ask, was there a reason they took Alaska? They might have a good reason. Maybe they think there was something wrong with how we bought it from them. They might feel we took advantage of them. I mean, wouldn't you sympathize with someone that felt taken advantage of? They'll have a good reason. Russia wouldn't do anything on a whim. Not just to enrich themselves or establish a beachhead for the rest of the continental Americas; surely not.

Of course... even if it were a beachhead... Russia might have a good reason, and we like Russia, they're good friends. Maybe we should join together in some kind of union...

PS: If someone was nodding their head along with the above, just know you're on the wrong side of... well, everything.

that country’s political system as it is cannot be trusted anymore. It brought that destructive madman to power not only once, but twice. There are zero safeguards against this happening again and again and again.

Worse, there'll be insufficient interest to change the system to put those safeguards in place even if Democrats regain power, to say nothing of the Constitutional Amendments likely necessary to effectively do so and the lack of State legislatures supporting such even if Congress manages 51% of a vote for things other than Constitutional Amendments. That might be enough for an impeachment, but just barely 51% isn't very reassuring for the rest of the world.
