Population is likely to peak within a few decades, and is already declining in the EU, China, and US. The issue here is that we are going to have a choice between lots of beef for the rich, and feeding everybody.
Except that he’s not a Republican, so the royal perogative isn’t allowed by the courts
No paywall, just registration. Use a throwaway email
They were asked, and Trump just gave blather which didn’t respond to the question. Biden responded to his blather
Not entirely though actually getting anything past the courts is going to mean something like expanding the court to disempower the Republicans there.
That’s probably become increasingly untenable. So he just responds with nonsense instead of a meaningful answer.
But what does “has to” mean anyways? The reality is motivated judge can rule pretty much anything as “ambiguous”
Sorry, but the judge is hoping for a gratuity
That’s the idea: extract the oil, pay out everything as dividends or share buybacks, and then sell the well to a doomed-to-fail company which can declare bankruptcy and leave the public responsible for cleaning up the mess. The oil industry has a long history of taking advantage of inadequate bond requirements for oil wells to do exactly that.
Which is why I’m going to do what I can to prevent that: I care about policy, not about how the candidates look or anything.

Wages weren’t stagnant though.
The key thing is that right now, wages are rising at about 4% per year, while prices are rising at about 3% per year. That’s a good place to be.
Inflation of 3% per year is lower than median wage growth; it’s generally considered somewhat desirable because it transfers wealth from lenders (who tend to be well-off) to borrowers (who are less so)
The key thing is that it dropped down to around the long-term average of 3% per year. And did it quickly and without a recession. That combination is downright amazing.
When uploading images from windows (but not from the mac) .avif files are not included in the supported image types, even though they in fact work. These are common for news outlets to use, and I’m manually uploading to get them used as thumbnails.
Known bug?
Basically: the US isn’t the only country in the world, the things he’s doing are going to cut emissions in the long run, but only making a modest difference as yet, and CO2 accumulates over time
I absolutely agree.
Vehicle sales remain below pre-pandemic levels
I don’t deny that conventional concrete is still being used at scale. It’s something like 1% of US emissions.
