Dealership owners are already the worst kinds of scum. Dealership owners next to military bases are an extra level of lowlife.

Dodge Charger. Number one car for people either A) Too young to know better or B) Wanting to make the worst decisions in life.

Then what is necessary violence? When does the rhetoric of an candidate of a major party come to the point when you can call it fascist?

Calling a politician who

• Fetishes an imagined great past.
• Claims immigrants are "poisoning the blood of our country"
• Get policy advice from individuals who call themselves christian nationalists and Neo-reactionaires.
• And has admitted to becoming a dictator on day 1 of his presidency.

a fucking fascist isn't being too extreme. Its calling a spade a spade and a duck a duck.

Why not? A Fascist getting elected president of the most powerful military force on the planet seems like a reasonable time to start rioting.

Good, now get me off this planet.

Not how economics work.

Agreed geoengineering is bad science/engineering IMO. You can't know what the long term effects would be until after its been deployed. The safest bet would be to just ditch fossil fuels but that's not as sexy.

The land barons of CA are no joke. They are a problem that we are going to have to deal with one way or another.

As a born/raised/living Californian I can attest to the fact that its not California that is the problem. But as my ancestors would say it's "El Pinche Gringo's" that tend to be the problem.

Oh yeah in so many ways its a too little too late. The best time to have fixed this problem was 40 years ago, the second best time is now. Nothing will be perfect, and we are definitely going to get so many things wrong. All I am saying is that there is some hope for something better, just gotta keep focusing on that and try hard to not fall down the rabbit hole of existential dread.

I agree to an extent. I think governments or more accurately the civil servants in government are taking it seriously. I work with a local Doughnut Economics group and 2 years ago we couldn't even get the time of day, now the amount of calls and emails we have gotten from state, city & county officials is amazing. They want to take it seriously its just they don't know how. However in my experience I think they are starting to adequately freak out now, they are just keeping a straight face because "don't want the public to panic".

Based on this statement it looks like they were compelled by the courts:

In this case, Proton received a legally binding order from Swiss authorities which we are obligated to comply with. There was no possibility to appeal this particular request.

They also provided an update:

In October 2021, Proton won a Swiss court ruling that email services are not telecommunications providers. Consequently, email services are not subject to the data retention requirements imposed on telecommunications providers and are exempted from handing over certain user data in response to Swiss legal orders.

So it sounds like they had their hand forced in that instance to provide the data and got a court ruling that allows them in the future to not retain that data. I would trust them.
