Worker’s rights transgressions? Yes. Bulldozing a frog pond? Yes. Dumping mercury? No, that makes no sense. I can’t see where mercury would be introduced in any meaningful quantities.
Well, I hope some will question the validity of this particular claim after reading my comment. Many more will probably question it after reading the comments, from others, that have found the measurements to likely be recorded incorrectly.
If someone made an accusation of pollution with a substance I could see them using or producing, I would be more inclined to believe it.
Why would anyone question anything based on your comment?
You didn’t link to an article presenting information that supports you. You didn’t link to information showing why mercury in this type of use would be low.
You didn’t present any factual… Anything.
You didn’t even claim to be someone with training in this area that would give your opinion weight.
Your comment is the equivalent to saying you don’t believe elephants are real, but not even saying it is because you have never seen one, which would have still been a weak argument.
Opinions without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
Glad they’re charging him with the felony. I really really hope he cuts a deal and incriminates the county council members that hired him to be their bulldog in the first place.
He did not go after that council member without their explicit instruction, I promise you.
In 2022, it was reported that Vladimir Putin and his top leadership were developing a backup plan to flee to Venezuela if Russia were defeated in Ukraine.
I love dogs. See it as the one and only positive thing I can say about him. He seems loyal to at least Putin. Who in turn is a dog person himself. Shit, you made me say something good about Putin too. Thanks a lot.
Can we all chop in for a ticket to send him now, save him the trouble of trying to come up with nicknames for Harris and Walz that they don’t turn into positives? Like “Tampon Tim” …“He’s going to stop the red wave!” Which is how Trump ended up building Walz.
How strange that for the party of Law and Order, all of their “heroes” are criminals (Trump, this lady, the Missouri couple with the guns, Kyle Rittenhouse…)
The punishment for union busting should be further empowerment of the union, not just a fine. The incentives are such that Amazon and Starbucks will never stop fighting their unions, and apparently even the federal government.
Starbucks might. They just got rid of the Union hating CEO. Dunno anything about the new guy other than, he comes from Chipotle, which isn’t promising.
Yup. They burn heavy bunker fuel - the sludge that is too bad to be used for anything else.
Considering the amount of shipping, it’s horrendous.
But - and there’s always another view - I don’t know how much energy you’d need to use to haul that much cargo by other means like rail and trucks. One container ship carries as much as a thousand trains could carry. Vessels are really, really large, which make them quite effective.
And trains can’t cross Oceans. Even tho that cargo ships need a shit load of fuel it isn’t that much per ton of cargo due to the efficiency and sheer mass they are carrying
If a rocket gets to orbit, it most certainly hasn’t blown up ;) Furthermore if it is reusable (which only SpaceX has) then it doesn’t even crash into the ocean.
Let’s be very clear on what rockets generally do. Last year, there were just over 200 launches worldwide (a world record, btw). ~10 of these sent professional astronauts to space stations. The rest deployed satellites that do all sorts of amazing things, including astronomy research, weather and earth observation, and communications. If 1 or 2 are a tourist flight, what’s the big deal?
Personally, I think it’s a great thing that the US arguably has the best military surveillance and communication satellites. Certainly I prefer money going there than into literal bullets. In any case, doesn’t this have nothing to do with space tourism?
Horse medieval times? Now, that’s another thing. Irrespective of whether they work or not, the horses I’ve spoken to are generally convinced they have entered the renaissance.
