    Bit different when Elon Musk does it, he should know better.

    Unfortunately, conspiracy theories attract voters. As long as these theories benefit the people in power, they'll keep spewing them even when they know they are wrong.

    Worth noting that the French law only deals with food waste from supermarkets as far as I know. Not households or agriculture. It's a great start, though.

    Unemployment. Like many others, I keep an emergency fund with high yield that can keep food on the table for the fam while looking for a new job. Replenish as soon as I get a new job.

    Democrats (72%) are much more likely than independents (35%) or Republicans (7%) to view themselves as “better off.”

    So, it's basically all political. I bet if exactly the same economic scenario played out over the past four years,but with Trump as the president, the numbers would be reversed with 72 percent of Republicans and 7 percent of Democrats viewing themselves as better off.

    People forget very quickly. Just look at what's happening in Germany and Austria and the Netherlands and France and Italy. It's like everyone's ignoring history.

    After everything that has happened, I find it unreal that the orange actually has a 50-50 chance of getting reelected. There's something seriously wrong with this country.

    I wonder how many will vote for conservative candidates who do not care about the climate crisis or choose not to vote. My guess is quite a few. Unfortunately.

    Yeah, everyone has their own interpretation of the Constitution these days. They'll "uphold" whatever version of the Constitution their own interpretation allows.

    I think, at best, this interview is a non-event. It's not going to make a difference with conservatives and it's not going to make a difference with her own base. Probably not for independents either. The biggest win is probably that she can say she did it, and Trump is too afraid to do the same.

    "Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's (R-Ga.) repeated social media claims that humans can control the weather — in the midst of a series of deadly hurricanes — is too much for some of her colleagues to handle."

    "Unlike the 2020 election, when Republicans opposed pandemic-related changes such as expanded mail-in voting, both parties are encouraging new rules to help people vote. One possible reason for the GOP's change of heart: In North Carolina — a swing state that's particularly key to former President Trump's pathway to victory — 8% of eligible voters are in counties impacted by Hurricane Helene. Those include many voters in rural, Republican-leaning areas."
