The next Olympics in the US should be interesting. "And none of the other teams or their fans were able to enter the US..."

He got off far easier than Jasmine Mooney did.

No, foreign nationals can't sue over being denied entry.

If I remember correctly they were convicted of embezzlement. Narcissists and psychopaths get mad when they are held accountable.

Yup but it is a catch 22.

That is a terrible analogy. There are already bacteria and fungi out there that show signs of breaking down plastics but at a very slow rate btw. It could function only under very specific conditions, like UV light exposure or sea water. I'd like to know how else you would remove plastics from the wild.

Why would it be random? We are already releasing huge amounts of artificial chemicals into the wild.

You know that bacteria exist in the wild normally, right? That is where they've been for 5 billion years.

Because criminals get out of jail and can go after their families. We had someone leave a bomb on the doorstep of a judge in our neighborhood.

The problem is how much of it never makes it to the recycling stream worldwide. Picking it out of the environment is labor intensive. Bacteria munching it down would be more effective.

Getting bacterial enzymes that can break down HDPE is tough. I read that the issue is there isn't a good place for the enzyme to "dig in" on the polymer strand.

The tech behind the tool conceals the fact that messaging is taking place at all. It makes the communication indistinguishable from data sent to and from the app by our millions of regular users.

Reminds me of how the Germans in WW1 knew they couldn't trust their diplomatic codes anymore so they just sent the important messages in the normal, innocuous telegraph system and diplomatic pouches. They knew that foreign intelligence would be focused on the bogus secure messages.

What a bunch of petulant little children

Thank god our power is being sucked up for cheating and generating AI porn.

So we spent decades working on energy conservation, switching to LED light bulbs, efficient AC, etc just to see it all get sucked into these fucking data and AI centers.

I'm waiting of all of the MAGhats to start picking crops for us. Maybe empty grocery shelves are needed to wake them up but I'd prefer not to get there.

Oh, of course it is trivial, the issue is the political will to do it. As for tax havens I was thinking more along the lines of corporate tax evasion by companies like Apple.

Minimum tax that they can never go below. Start penalizing tax havens like Ireland.

There are already inheritance taxes but they should have caps on them since they hit intergenerational wealth and social mobility for lower and middle classes far more than the upper.

His whole life is based on his gut feeling and mood
