So that would mean insurrection would be legal in America. If Biden loses to Trump, I will feel empowered to riot in the same way. Time to get a gun I guess.

Does anyone know if Rainbow Railroad is offering help to trans people trying to leave Florida?

there’s easier ways to tour the Middle East - and I’d include joining the Marines in that.

That gave me a nice chuckle, thanks.

A more realistic solution, is to replace planet-murdering cars with planet-kicking cars.

What a sad truth. Maybe we can add "and fewer of them".

Shifts power source to the grid. Grid can use different sources for energy production.

Such an excellent point, which I hadn't seen mentioned before. It means we can have more control over those sources. Thank you.

with hand crank windows

I want hand crank windows back anyway. Faster and more reliable. So frustrating when the "auto complete" aspect of modern car windows means I cannot easily get the window half way closed or only a crack open. But I must be in the minority on that.

You may have noticed that being a millionaire is not the sign of real wealth anymore. To be actually wealthy, you need to be a billionaire or at least half-billionaire. Honestly, a middle class person approaching retirement is supposed to be worth a million just to expect to maintain their middle class lifestyle through retirement and into death. Otherwise either their children or the government supports them, probably at a vastly reduced lifestyle.

Your English is mostly perfect, but (and as someone who tries, like you, to speak another language correctly):

Could it be that not only these platforms are harmful in mental health and privacy but also physical health?

should be

Could it be that not only are these platforms harmful in mental health and privacy but also physical health?

The change in location of the word are is what makes it a grammatically correct question rather than a statement.

To me, I think the primary harm to our physical health IS the impact on our mental health, which is a physical health. To say nothing of neglecting our physical bodies by being so sedentary.

The parent who sent their child to day care despite quarantine instructions should be charged with a crime, maybe reckless endangerment.

The difference is the relationship. A business has customers. The economy has consumers.
