Noise. Pollution. The Ozone Layer. Acid Rain. AIDS treatment. Cancer cures. Crime rates. Child abductions. As much as we consume doom and gloom in our media, humans are very, very good at solving problems when we want to. We just have to want to.

Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

air travel is one of those experiences that has gotten monotonically worse over my entire lifetime

question though: has *anything* in the last 40+ years genuinely gotten *better*?

like, there's *more* stuff, sure, but is any of it *better*?

More incendiary stuff. Prince Ali, the FA president from Jordan, who was a rival to Infantino in his first election in 2016, alleges FIFA attempted to effectively blackmail theJordanian FA, withholding funds until they had provided backing to Infantino for next year’s election.

We could have had the Trans-Pacific Partnership Could have mitigated the supply chain chokepoints that China now controls by working with very close allies in the region But noooooooo we have to reshore at any cost because of gender you see

DSA-aligned Democrats are now the most pro-free-trade voting bloc in the United States, in an incredible turn of events www.theargumentmag.com/p/who-suppor...

A graph showing whether voters support or oppose free trade by party identification, showing 54% of "Dems favorable to DSA" strongly support free trade agreements

”Lab leak” hypotheses basically absolve societies‘ aggregate choices in general of any potential liability. Might explain why they’re so popular, easier to blame “The Chinese” than it is ourselves for pushing development further into areas we probably shouldb’t have

Inconvenient truth that habitat destruction increases spillover of viruses and not labs studying viruses

Don’t take the Clay Travis “WNBA team vs. HS boys state champs” bait or you’ll end up defending some nonsense Best response to this bullshit continues to be “if trans women had such advantages, women’s sports leagues would be overrun with them”

this boils down to "the pandemic didn't actually happen but they still closed the applebees" which frankly i think is a trauma response by a lot of people that buy it - lot easier to be in denial that things were that bad instead of reckoning with 1.3m dead people [in this country]
