Everyone: call on McDonalds to carry out its commitment to reduce use of antibiotics in its beef.

US citizens: call on Congress and Biden to expand the Supreme Court.

E-scooters for rent in Rome have become a practical nuisance and cause of accidents.

They are also a system of general surveillance, since the only way to rent one is with a snoop-phone and the only way to pay is with a credit card. I might perhaps use a private e-scooter, but I would never rent one through the systems they actually use.

The US Supreme Court is embarked on a radical right-wing overturning of long-established laws. Now it has effectively abolished state gun permit laws.

Even in the "wild west", people were not allowed to carry guns around in town without authorization.

I wonder whether this ruling allows states to require people to study and get tested for a gun license, much as they have to get licenses to drive.

I saw a petition to impeach Justice Thomas. This would be a good thing to do, but the Republicans in the Senate will defend him from punishment no matter what he does, just as they defended the corrupter from impeachment

after his attempted coup.

It is ironic that the Supreme Court members who voted for this, and their families, have just recently been granted additional security protection. They knew that they were about to exacerbate the problem, but they themselves won't have to face the consequences along with the rest of us.
