Nuclear industry has pushed in many countries for "small, modular" power reactors, but the only projects that were actually completed had giant cost overruns.

And there remains the question of what to do with the long-term radioactive waste.

China is not content with facial recognition; it is pushing to get DNA samples and voice prints of everyone.

In Hong Kong, China is arresting people for having indirect relationships with past protesters. Increased data to identify people will compel people to act like robots.

Meanwhile, San Francisco has invited private owners of surveillance cameras to let the thug department look through them live.

No one should be allowed to set up surveillance cameras that see and show everyone that passes a certain place, with out a specific court order for a limited time and a limited place. Not a thug department, and not a private entity.

Ohio's abortion ban puts pregnant females in danger when some things go wrong with the pregnancy. The supporters of that ban deal with this by pretending it isn't so.

There are more than sentimental reasons to find this horrible: the digital payment methods track the passenger.

Paying with a mobile phone inevitably identifies the payer. It is not inevitable that travelcards identify the payer — in New York City and Boston, the payment cards can be anonymous.

I oppose both white supremacism and white inferioricism.
