next age of enlightenment.
I like your optimism, though I don't share it. Human levels of planetary fuckery suggest a dark age that ends with extinction is on the table. Judging by how well humans have corrected our trajectory based on just climate change and fossil fuels, this outcome look more certain by the day.

There are no guarentees anymore. The age of diplomacy and the rules based order is over. This is the age of action and consequence.

If conservatives gave a damn about kids and sex crimes, these lists should have caused enough public rage to burn the party to the ground.
It didn't. So republican are unassailably the party of sex offenders and those who support sex offenders.

I assure you, the risk models are all improper. The risks are heavily underaccounted for. 5% my ass.
This is Nordhausian levels of bullshit saying climate change can be adapted to for a cost of 5% gdp, by moving economic activity indoors to climate controlled spaces. (5% to move construction, resource extraction, agriculture, the living webs of the biosphere etc indoors for AC.)
Edit: this is underselling risk deliberately to avoid market panic. Don't yell fire in a crowded theatre until you've sold all you tickets, collected the cash and made your exit.

This is pretty stupid. China wants sole nuke in the region. Agreeing to stupid shit like this was about as wise as Ukraine giving nukes back to Russia in exchange for a promise of non-agression. TOTALLY WORTHLESS.

Deal? There are no deals to be made. Trump doesn't honor any deal, including his own. He is bound by no court, or rule of law. No congressional checks and balances. They are bad faith actors. There is nothing to negotiate.
The FDA has been gutted. The food is even less safe than it used to be.
American food, like their diplomacy is a nightmare. Don't do it.

It doesn't spoil. Bacteria and fungus know it's not food. Americans aren't that smart.

Strangely enough, they are the same thing for people with the intellectual capacity to understand the predicament.

Russia is comitting genocide against Russians. It's the most Russian thing I can think of. Like ~ 1,000,000 deaths.
