I very much doubt we’ve seen the last attempt on his life.

And it’s just as likely to come from a disillusioned historically republican as from someone more to the left.

The sentencing happens before he has any power.

Plus, any state charges can’t be pardoned by a president.

I can’t be bothered to worry about the climate 100 years from now

I can because I care about my kids and potential grandchildren.

we’re going to be attacking (many more) Americans 100 days from now

I also have family members who will be impacted directly by that.

I can be concerned about stopping both of those negative outcomes. (And would be even if it didn’t directly impact my family)

Wr can hope not to repeat the plague, but with Trump empowering anti-vaxxers, even that can’t be taken for granted.

do you guys not listen to what Trump says?

Yes that was one of the many outrageous claims he made.

Who knows which things he will actually try to do, let alone what he’ll succeed at doing.

Even with the house, senate and supreme court tilted right, I don’t see them succeeding on abolishing elections.

What’s the counter-argument in favor of genocide?

Thw arguement is the party that has been calling for a cease fire since the start if the conflict versus the one that will actively encourage Netanyahu.

Compulsory but severely underfunded.

And many of the more right wing religious people lean towards homeschooling, in which they can tailor to what they want their kids to learn (and more damaging) what they don’t want their kids to learn about.

That reminds me, isn’t his sentencing coming up in a couple of weeks?

At some point it becomes impossible to tell what is something Trump really believes and might actually do versus what is just blowing smoke, blatant lying, a thing that contradicts another thing he said, or something he forgot he said.

People who voted Harris did so because they either thought some other issue was more important or just didn’t care.

Or realized that Trump would be far worse for the Palestinians than any Democrat has ever been.

I guess Trump won’t see consequences,

Probably not given his age, diet, and general level of fitness.

And even if he does live that long, I doubt he will remember it given his clearly declining mental health.

In a bad economy, no one cares about your politics

That’s no excuse for electing someone whose stated policies and politics will fuck the economy even further and faster.

We might see censorship and destruction of art but information will survive internationally.

As well as imprisoning of people spreading information and making art that the regime doesn’t like.

Or copyright.

Whether honest or not, copyright claims are a very powerful tool to take stuff down now, and fight about restoring it later.

Rich countries tend to have better functioning waste collection and disposal services.

These days it is a lot better, but it wasn’t always that way.

Or even “experience using …”

Plus, launching that sort of payload is going to be insanely costly.

And causes its own additional air pollution as part of the launch.

A lot of ocean trash comes by river from poor countries.

Also by river from wealthy countries, and has done so for centuries.

The scope of the task of removing it is far bigger than OP can imagine.

That is exactly the reason.

Those caps also prevent the small percentage of people who would abuse the system from having as much of a negative impact on other users.

Back when the company I used to work for offered an unlimited voice calling deal (we’re talking 25 years ago on the old analog cell system) there were a few people who decided it would be a good idea to use their phone as a baby monitor, which tied up a voice channel for days at a time. There being only a dozen or less voice channels on most towers at the time made that kind of thing a signifigant cause of congestion.

Has been for as long as I can remember.
