Are they shooting those ships without warning?
So if I warn civilians that I am going to shoot them first, then it is OK to shoot them. According to your advanced moral theories, I assume.
Edit: Israel blockades Palestine, US blockades Cuba, but it’s terrorism when Iran or Yemen do it. Sure, bud.
So because “Israel bad” or “US bad”, it is good that the Houthies shoot random innocent ship crews?
Lets shoot at some innocent ships and their innocent crews. Terrorism is fun! Hell yeah!
Note: My comment is a joke. Unlike the comment I am replying to.
if the DOJ no longer wants to prosecute the case, isn’t this just the SCOTUS saying, " OK?" which was probably a foregone conclusion after the Solicitor General told them they were abandoning the case back in Feb?
Courts can refuse to dismiss a case, though it is rare. In https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/434/22/ lower courts had refused a dismissal, though that was overridden by the Supreme Court with the argument that dismissal
cannot fairly be characterized as “clearly contrary to manifest public interest.”
In the case of Bannon, it seems to me that it is very much contrary to public interest to dismiss. We are in extraordinary times, and this is an extraordinarily corrupt dismissal. So if we think it was a foregone conclusion, then it is only because we know SCROTUS is corrupt, right? Not because the law said so.
The question is not whether current battery technology poses that risk: it does. The questions are whether that’s an outsized risk relative to other car technologies and whether Tesla could have done more.
Googling, there also seem to be a consensus that the fire risk in petrol car is way higher than the risk for battery cars. E.g. from https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/nov/20/do-electric-cars-pose-a-greater-fire-risk-than-petrol-or-diesel-vehicles
“All the data shows that EVs are just much, much less likely to set on fire than their petrol equivalent,” said Colin Walker, the head of transport at the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit thinktank. “The many, many fires that you have for petrol or diesel cars just aren’t reported.”
After some googling, the “Why?!” in the image seems to be completely bullshit, though.
Electric cars have a way lower amount of deaths from fire than petrol cars. So why would there be outrage about Tesla fire safety?
The comparison in the image also completely ignores number of cars on the street, total miles driven. All car models will have fire deaths. Without scaling with number of cars, you are just always going to be outraged at the number of deaths for the most popular car model…
The outrage about the Ford Pinto was because it was a known specific defect which was covered up (fuel tank rupturing when rear ended), more than the number of deaths in itself. As far as I can tell, the number of fire deaths were actually not extraordinarily high for the Pinto. Hence comparing this not especially high number to Tesla for outrage purposes is meaningless.
That is what the liars want you to believe.
every country is corrupt
That is what the elite in corrupt countries want you to believe. “Everything is corrupt, so no need to rise up against your oppressors.”
I did say “most”. The cheap charter tourism by airplane is what is probably not compatible with net zero carbon, as needed to stop climate change.
Obviously the sanctions don’t help. But Iran is also super corrupt.
Ah yes, freedom fighting Shia Muslims firing unguided freedom rockets at Israeli civilians.
Note that both the Houthis and Hezbollah are Shias (hence allied with Shia Iran, in the Sunni-Shia religious cold war). And the Muslims Israel displaced from the Israel were Sunnis. So the claim of them being “freedom fighters” in the Israel-Palestine conflict is quite dubious - Yemen and Iran especially has no relation to Israel, they are just using Jews as an external enemy to blame their own shortcomings on. While of course not caring at all about China’s Uighur genocide.
Lebanon: Hezbollah’s rocket attacks on northern Israel must be investigated as likely war crimes
I admit that your post was 100% fact free. So you did not make up any facts, I admit.
I see that you base your worldview on whichever fantasy makes you feel good in the moment, not reality or actually looking up facts. Good to know.
Assuming you actually think that is a valid argument, let me ask you a question: How well are Jews treated in e.g. Yemen, do you think?
Welcome to reality.
So Iranian proxies attacking Israel for years was completely irrelevant to Israel attacking Iran? Bullshit.
So while fuck Trump and his deportation plans, I don’t think slavery is a correct description.
States run the elections
According to the constitution. The same constitution that says that Trump was not elegible to run for President in 2024, because Trump had engaged in an insurrection. The same constitutions that says Trump can’t receive emoluments. In states truly ran the elections, then they would have been able to remove Trump from the ballot in 2024. SCROTUS barred them.
It has already been demonstrated that to the Republicans currently controlling the levers of power in the US, notable SCROTUS, the Constitution is just a meaningless piece of paper.
Before Deng, China was pretty bad, absolutely. I am no fan of dictatorships, but economically China since then has been pretty dang smart. They have bet long term on all the right techs. Look at e.g. batteries, electric cars, and solar cells right now.
With the very notable exception of their coming population crash and aging crisis. But many democratic countries face that too.
Singapore and China being notable exceptions. And few fuck up as badly as Iran.
