France still holds Haitians financially responsible for…refusing to be slaves over 200 years ago. Haiti has such a rough time now because the US and EU continue to punish the country for representing the only successful slave revolt.
That was very common when I was growing up. Unfortunately, it has been replaced with variations of autistic, though “anti-woke” people will use both.
Strictly from an environmental perspective, no. This tech generates massive emissions and consumes a large amount of fresh water at a time when both are at critical points. We are going full speed towards a planet inhospitable to human life and the other life we share the planet with.
That’s exactly what I said. The author’s proposed scenario included a “legal” framework that doesn’t exist. If they make a move around the elections, it will be violent, not some executive order that has no bearing on the states administration of the election.
Elections can not be delayed, nor can the federal government dictate to states how to administer elections (outside violations of the constitution, which are adjudicated by the courts, not executive orders). The constitution outlines the years in which elections for federal office are to take place, federal statute sets the date, and state laws cover the administration of the election. In order to do what is described in this article there would need to be a constitutional amendment(s) allowing changes to the set years for elections to the house and senate, for the house and senate to propose/pass a change of the statute signed off by the president, and then to either have the states all change their laws or have a case make it through courts and receive a judgement before the election that states not requiring voter I.D. costs the constitution. This is simply not possible within the time constraints, if at all. While the fascists certainly want a coup, this is not the route. Their move will be drastically more violent or continue on the slow, but escalating, course it is currently taking.
I haven’t been voting for this shit. Typical smug ass Europeans. You’re just as bad as white America, going the same way internally, and commit just as many crimes. You aren’t better, you’re just the drummer.
As an American, I couldn’t care less. Our taxes fund this research, and yet we receive zero benefit from it. The only people that benefit are the wealthy and citizens of other western countries. Fuck 'em.
This isn’t an informed guess, but I’d imagine it has to do with ground suitability, as well as risks caused by the ocean and weather. I recently read an article that major cities in the area, away from the coast, are causing the ground to sink below their weight.
