• Spend EVERY day having a press announcement on it and bashing the GOP with the latgest bully pulpit on the planet
• Expand and pack the court
• Push a court case that it was their duty.
• Push a case that it threatened national security based on issues it was holding up.
• Move to just put someone in the seat regardless and let it get argued in the courts meanwhile the seat is filled.
• withhold all federal funds to any state who’s senator was blocking it
• Any number of creative parliamentary maneuvers that let the GOP decide everything even when they’re in the minority
• BREAK ALL NORMS, just like the GOP did in stealing th pick. But Dems roll over and play victim. It’s all they EVER do, even when they control Hoise, Senate and POTUS at the same time.

There’s a ton of other shit too, but you get the point. Obama was quiet most days and played victim, bc the billionaires who owned him and who he bailed out of the financial crisis told him to ge a good boy and he did.

Upvoted for FACT.

But theyre not recycled much–YET.

Agree and excitedly look forward to growth in that market (or even having a market for it). They will eventually become a profitable recycling opportunity. Unless one of the other battery techs (tons of them) in development just completely supplanted them. Either way the impact should diminish over time. Main questions are how fast and long will they continue to be an environmental negative.

Rechargeable nickel–cadmium (Ni-Cd), nickel metal hydride (Ni-MH), lithium-ion (Li-ion) and nickel–zinc (Ni-Zn), can also be recycled. Disposable alkaline batteries make up the vast majority of consumer battery use, but there is currently no cost-neutral recycling option.

EDIT: You can read further down how close some of these companies are to an actual recycling center. They’re getting there!

Billionaires have paid BOTH Republicans and Democrats for this legal victory. It’s another reason Obama didn’t fight hard for his pick, and why the dems didn’t stop Drunky McRape from getting a seat.

Theater was fine, but this is what all those campaign “donations” (read bribes) were for.

And police are tied with grounds maintenance, and maintenance workers. But only one of the three gets military hardware. ><

Cops are 22nd most dangerous career in America. They don’t even cut it in the TOP 20. This according to the University of Delaware. Good thing we LITERALLY give them military hardware and equipment to use on the citizens.

I still support moving this direction because it creates the necessary infrastructure that can be leveraged by newer battery tech. And likely even with the batteries, it’s better than diesel.

I don’t know how to help you read.

You sound like a demagog who feels attacked when faced with facts or genuine issues. Advocating for improvements to the technology isn’t being anti-EV or even anti-battery. LOL. #faceplam&sigh

I love EVs and truly believe they’re the future. But holy shit what must these monsters weigh? And, what’s the environmental impact considering our current shitty battery tech?

I still support moving this direction because it creates the necessary infrastructure that can be leveraged by newer battery tech. And likely even with the batteries, it’s better than diesel.

But the new batteries to make them lighter and less polluting can’t come soon enough.

In most red states, it is literally impossible for the GOP to win a state-wide election without massive voter suppression efforts. No shocker here. Nobody hates democracy more than Republicans.

Edit: Just like Florida, Texas is easily blue if elections there were fair, and voting wasn’t intentionally made difficult for minorities and blue counties.

Everyone has the right to seek asylum—no matter who they are, where they come from, or when they choose to flee. The right to seek asylum, along with other rights of refugees, is outlined in the 1951 Refugee Convention and its 1967 Protocol which has protected the rights of asylum seekers and refugees since the end of WWII. The legal documents are the core basis of international refugee protections and define the moral and legal obligations of countries to refugees and asylum seekers. 

One of the most important protections established by the Convention is the core principle of non-refoulement, the right for refugees and asylum seekers to be protected from forced returns to a country where they will face serious threats to their life or freedom. This protection gives asylum seekers the right to seek asylum without fear of being returned to their country of origin, even if their legal refugee status hasn’t been determined yet. All countries are accountable for protecting asylum seekers and must accept them when they arrive at ports of entry. 

If a refugee or asylum seeker is denied entry into a country and returned to their country of origin, they may be forced to return to an armed conflict or war and could be at risk of persecution, violence and death. To protect people from returning to dangerous situations where their lives and freedoms are at risk, the right to seek asylum must be upheld. 

You’re going to get a LOT of reductive and low effort answers from Lemmy radicals. But this is a super complex question, and there’s not a 5-second ELI5 answer if you really want to understand.

Also, when the radicals scream at you, there’s going to be a core of truth. They’re going to yell about colonization and empires. That’s a major factor, but not an exclusive one. However, for getting radical and rabidly furious its all they’ll bother posting to you.

Things to investigate, because answering this for yourself in a meaningful way is going to take a while and require study. Here are some topics but NOT an exhaustive list:

1. Colonization

2. Resources (natural and otherwise)

3. Schooling, education, etc.

4. Stability, politically and otherwise (note this will have overlap with colonial and non-colonial powers destabilizing things intentionally for geopolitical gain)

5. Infrastructure (transportation, economic, water, medical, etc.)

6. Medicine as regionally practiced, traditional vs based on the the scientific method.

7. Geopolitics (isolationism, etc)

8. Geography (i.e. the US’s greatest asset is its location, it neighbors no enemies and its main enemies are separated by an ocean. One of the key reasons the US focuses on the ability to project force)

9. Religion

10. Corruption (politically and non politically)

11. Crime and non-military/nation based violence (also could get grouped under personal safety and security)

And again, honestly, a lot of these topics will overlap, but that’s what I mean by there isn’t a quick, easy answer.

And the reductive stupid answer is just yelling colonialism.

There’s a reason people get PhDs in this subject. It’s not a quick, easy question.

Wait, people are still using Unity after they clearly demonstrated they’ll fuck you on a whim? Honestly, seems like everyone’s been given a fair warning about dealing with these scumbags. I get migrating a codebase is a motherfucker, and sometimes it is even easier to redevelop much or all of the project. But again, if you’re renting retail space from someone who is a psychopath, bipolar, and an arsonist (Unity in this case), and they might burn your shop down at any moment, sometimes you gotta move!
