Years of neglect by Congress as well as puffing up the power of the president leads to dictatorship. The watchdogs should have known that a ratbag could get the job and checks and balances would be critical.

I am still trying to fathom why Tony Abbott was what the Aussie people deserved but then those were nasty times and we had an atheist female PM. Must have pissed enough people off to bring on a super catholic misogynist male PM.
People get what they vote for.
Measles is a disease of unvaccinated kids and we really had that licked but then came conspiracy and anti-vaxers.
Oxford Professor: Cycling is 10 times more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities
The relevance is the difficulty in convincing people who live in cities designed for car traffic to stop driving and start walking. Distances are large enough to get significant push back.

There is also a social engineering aspect. Our populations and cities have been developed in a spread out fashion with services and shops established in hubs. They aren’t the villages of the early 1900s. The car was the major design influence, hence the problem. Some people are lucky and can walk, others are able to cycle however many just can’t conceive anything other than a car. That’s where EVs come in.

I have 30km there and 30km back from the from the shops on country roads. An electric car seems a safer and more practical way to encourage a change in my circumstances.
The Morrison government in Australia told all the temporary workers, backpackers, international students, tourists to go home during Covid and Australia is still paying the price of economic dislocation. A lot of these people worked on farms, in cafes, construction, hospitals etc and we had massive problems because him thought they were a burden.
China is really good at making stuff and as a result their labour costs rose because they had to pay their people more. What did they do? The robotised a lot of it. For America to compete means fewer jobs in America.
Sounds Russian
Time to block Twitter by whatever name it’s called. The world would be a better place.
Maybe the rest of the world should stop buying stuff from the US as it is obviously climate lethal. If there is no reporting on how it’s done and the governments policies are to exacerbate the climate crisis then…..
