The issue with trees is you need to adapt the city to them, you can't adapt them to the city. And people have proven once and again that they would invent anything to not move by an inch when our way of life is put in question.
So we push forward with absurd solutions one after the other: carbon capture, atmospheric geo-engineering, a damned nuke in antarctica, and now "liquid trees".
Because the alternative is to change our ways, and we can't face that.

Except most modern cars have turbo and direct injections and are very sensitive to gas/diesel quality. Even your diesel car will break down on an aged diesel. If the tank is not full, it will have degraded in contact with air, and if it stayed too long, it may have absorbed too much humidity and will ruin your advanced diesel engine.
Really? Do you realize how many people we're talking about? This is where the idea that the human brain can't comprehend interactions with too many people.
"Multiple indepondant people" might be 5% of the people, some of them under the mob's effect (wouldn't engage alone).
Maybe we miss another point of view, but maybe we don't. This may be a screaming example of what you get as a representative of minorities getting a bit of attention.
And that will come, but unfortunately not before he turned the country into a fascist state with no more balance of power.
At that time, oligarchs will have their useful idiot removed and replaced by a real puppet that will be granted absolute power.
The guy lives in a f***ing video game where "people" must be an abstract concept reacting to a simple set of rules, and none of the actual physical people he can see is part of it.
For the dishes: I don't know the details of the 2 systems, but is there no way to retrofit the Starlink dishes to use Eutelsat's constellation? I mean if we exclude the legal IP mess for reverse-engineering the electronics and software.
Summary: China is not a friend country. It's a hostile country. Yes, we know.
But the news is... so is the USA to Canada now. A hostile country threatening to annex Canada and trying to cripple the economy as a way to achieve the goal. So either we slap 100% tariffs on US made cars, which would hurt Canadians, or we apply the same tariffs on Chinese cars, so reduce them from where they are at the moment.
Because that's not about privacy, that's about the trade war.
Retaliatory tariffs on US cars increase cost of cars for Canadians, as there are almost no car assembled in Canada. Reducing or eliminating tariffs on cars from China would lower cost of new cars for Canadians while keeping the tariffs up.
For privacy and security, not a single new car on the market is decent right now. That should be regulated, but that's no concern for any politician at the moment.
