  • Sigh.

    OK, this is basically bad metrics.

    Yes, by tonnage NG produces a lot of co2, but they’re measuring gas emissions from both, while coal has non-gas emissions they don’t count.

    They’re basically comparing the worst case NG emissions with the beyond best case coal emissions assuming we forced them to use maximum particulate reclamation and carbon capture and sequestration.

    Which is great, but we have no large-scale working examples of that in this country, and this is the kind of BS they spout to get people to let them build more plants with minimum protections then act shocked when we say anything.

    NG produces co2, but that’s about it, it’s the cleanest fossil fuel we have, if they have a problem with that they should push for renewable or nuclear.

    BTW, for future lessons, this is modern lobbying now: claim numbers from a solution you have 0 intention of implementing just so they’ll let you get started, then do whatever you want once their back is turned.

    The moment it’s off the ground they parade kids crying about not understanding why their daddies are losing their jobs, making everybody else the monster.



  • No, absolutely fucking not.

    I get this is lemmy.ml, but neither housing nor prisons have any benefit here.

    We need serious, fundamental mental health services, most of the chronic homeless have crippling issues and many need medication.

    We can have other programs to help people living out of their cars, housing makes sense there.

    But we are the dumping ground for every trash red state that doesn’t want to deal with their problems so they send them here, and the worst of those problems are psychiatric.

    We’ve had results when we send out social workers and doctors to treat the problem on the ground, but that’s never proven sustainable, we need funding for community centers to deal with this, coupled with a pathway to get them back into society without relapse.




  • I don’t know, I’ve heard of bdsm but even I don’t know anyone who gets off on invading a country 1/10th the size, getting your shit pushed in for 2 years and then having them invade YOU.

    If you put that in pornhub I think it would just send the police to free anyone trapped in your basement.

    But if there is one thing Russians have a very high tolerance for, it’s brutal public humiliation.
