Yes exactly

Yeah but legally Congress allocates funds. This isn't binding (yeah yeah I know, none of these people care about the law)

Apparently not because they explicitly cozied up to Dick Cheney

Oh wow that sounds EXACTLY like Giordan. Fucking unhinged behavior.

Giordan is even cagey about his nationality! Is he Canadian? Is he American? Who knows?

No nation-state in my lifetime has taken the real and necessary steps to mitigate/slow it.

Tankies will crow about China, but the truth is that China adopted the happy motoring lifestyle after relying on bicycles for decades.

Unless you drastically reduce cars and airplanes and cargo ships, nothing will change. Unless we pretty much stop eating beef, nothing will change.

If you actually priced environmental damage into the cost of oil, literally no business would be profitable. Instead we even subsidize it. The result is the world we have now.

We will suck every drop of oil from the ground even as we are choking on the CO2

We're never going to stop or even mitigate climate change...

A story that tells you everything you need to know about Giordan:

Giordan sometimes attended a low-stakes house poker game with a group of longtimer expats in Korea. He always lost. So, one week he brought a friend and they got caught passing cards to each other. If it was any other country they'd have beat his ass

Giordan is such a self-aggrandizing narcissist that he couldn't cope with losing.

He's been booted from two Seoul Toastmasters chapters (maybe more?). Imagine what an insufferable narcissist it takes to annoy Toastmasters, a group designed to create and elevate insufferable narcissists.

I worked with Giordan and he was nuts. When I started, there were two employees and he called himself "the head teacher". Students regularly complained that Giordan would reach over and pinch their arms real hard as punishment. Giordan would lie to the boss about coworkers and lie to coworkers about the boss. He wanted to have control over everyone. He got people fired if he didn't like them.

Later I learned that everyone in Itaewon knows Giordan is a snake. I heard he can't work in Seoul anymore but I don't know why

Journalists do care (most...). It's not a job for dispassionate people.

It's publishers and managing editors who are the problem. They represent the institutions. They decide what goes to print

Fuck you, you lying, scheming, friendless piece of shit

Cool Cat Saves the Kids!

That's just some Zionist's YouTube channel... He's begging us to care about property damage on October 7. As though that somehow justifies killing thousands of Gazan children

Never forget that's what this is about-- Israel eagerly kills Gazan children and the US lets them do it. Anything else is willful distraction.

There is no moral highground for Israel and there's no "OK, but..."

Israel kills children at its leisure and the US says it's OK.
