Then like I said, don't call yourself world and continue to promote yourself as the authoritative instance. This instance is the the default for all the mobile apps.

Being happy that a man responsible for the deaths of thousands is an "American Centric View" now.

And don't call yourself "world" if you cannot reasonably accommodate a wide rage of views. Call yourself "Dutch" and make your limitations clear.

You world sycophants want the benefits of being the authoritative instance without the responsibility.

It's an American story, effecting 100's of millions of Americans directly. So no, not this this time. See a therapist to work out all this reflexive anti Americaism

Too late, I'm already out the door. You assume no one understands the nuances of hosting in a country without free speech laws as liberal as the US.

The truth is most people do. Your moderators' histrionic response was so obviously from a place of emotion, and can recall numerous times your mods have allowed speech that was similar but didn't act because they weren't personally offended.

I think you fail to understand that your audience is international. That you let your moderators power trip not from an abundance of caution but because it's more convenient for you.

Was the CEO drinking? Might have brought it on himself.

Damn, they're even being stingy with the reward money.

Spare me, they're being way more liberal with comments on Bluesky and they are far bigger than Lemmy.

You and the mods just want to protect rich people from group consensus about them being terrible.

Your paranoia about a slippery slop to violence is very transparent.

Or is that what they want you to believe about them wanting you to believe?

There was another story about a wealthy CEO being gunned down in a posh area of New York City. Everyone said it was an example of street crime being out of control but it turned out to be one of his wealthy business partners. Could be the same case here.

This guy knew what he was doing. Probably didn't carry a cell phone and I wouldn't be surprised if the silencer turns out to be homemade. Reminds me of the movie "Ghost Dog: Way of the Samurai". Where the hitman did a bunch of practical things to keep from being traced.

Oooooo he got Epsteined so to speak.

EPA watchdog: Undeserving Florida getting millions for lead pipe replacement while Illinois, other states have bigger needs

Summary

Florida is set to receive nearly $1 billion in federal funds to replace lead service lines, despite lacking significant need, according to an EPA inspector general report.

The state falsely claimed to have 1.1 million lead pipes, a figure disputed by its own utilities.

Meanwhile, states like Illinois, with over 400,000 lead pipes in Chicago alone, are underfunded despite having far greater needs.

Critics urge the EPA to reallocate funds, as lead exposure causes severe health risks.
