Protecting wolves

dimanche 1 août 2021 à 02:00

The success in protecting wolves in the US west was enough to remove them from the endangered species list. This allowed some states to operate plans to wipe them out again. So the Fish and Wildlife Service has been asked to protect them again.

Glyphosate for home use

dimanche 1 août 2021 à 02:00

Bayer will stop selling glyphosate for home use.

It won't happen for 2 years; I hope this isn't a plan to wait and hope people forget.

Hilton hotel in Xinjiang

dimanche 1 août 2021 à 02:00

Members of Congress call on Hilton hotels to refuse to license its name to a hotel built over a demolished mosque in Xinjiang.

Hilton has various excuses, such as that it licensed the name to a Chinese company, as if that could eliminate its responsibility.

Vaccine capacity

dimanche 1 août 2021 à 02:00

The US should actively promote more vaccine capacity, as well as waiving patents, to get the world vaccinated faster.

The US should legislate that corporations must consider the interests of customers, workers, and the public, not only making the most possible Profit For Owners. There are still countries which require this.

Republican wise guy

dimanche 1 août 2021 à 02:00

One Republican wise guy is using a financial trick to stop the House from collecting fines for his defiance of the mask rule.

This is a game Republicans use to appear powerful to their followers. If the game had no real stakes, the best thing would be to overlook it. Therefore they have decided to put other people's lives and health at risk, and their relatives' too. "I can put you and your family in danger, and you can't stop me, nyah nyah."

The House should adopt measures that are not possible to defy. For instance, to eject violators from the House space (part of the Capitol, and House office buildings) and exclude them for 48 hours.
