Site C, they're cleaning up the camps and such now with questions like whether to use the camp accommodations for housing or bin it.
Guess we could be more like China and not give a shit about things like pollution. Used to have air you could easily see here, it was not healthy.

You mean the pro-oil fanatics? They're scary as they'd rather stare at abandoned oil derelicts then a wind mill and expect us tax payers to put out another $30-40 billion to build them a pipeline while refusing to finish the power inter-connect and cosying up to Trump.

San Marino would still exist as the worlds oldest republic with a written constitution dating back to 1600 (an update to the constitution of about 1300) giving people "government of the people, by the people, for the people" and actual limited government. Though to be honest, it was 1974 before something like a bill of rights was added.
For rights, there's the Magna Carta from 1215 and the English Bill of Rights of 1689, which turned the British King into a figurehead.

When all the other stores see that one store raising prices and go, "good idea" and raise their bread prices, it does tend to be inflationary. Here in Canada, they were even stupid enough to communicate that they should all raise bread prices and were convicted of price fixing. I'm expecting a $25 gift card eventually.

And this points to other price fixing, https://thetyee.ca/Analysis/20...
Most industries are smart enough not to actually conspire, just follow the leader as it is more profitable then competing.

I'm sorry, here's an article from a right wing media outlet, https://nationalpost.com/news/...
Traditionally, in cases like this, would mean a simple deportation, not masked thugs locking people up in inhumane conditions that would break peoples rights in most free countries. Due process, speedy trial, no cruel punishment.

I find one study, https://www.nasa.gov/centers-a... that says,

The beneficial impacts of carbon dioxide on plants may also be limited, said co-author Dr. Philippe Ciais, associate director of the Laboratory of Climate and Environmental Sciences, Gif-suv-Yvette, France. “Studies have shown that plants acclimatize, or adjust, to rising carbon dioxide concentration and the fertilization effect diminishes over time.”

“While the detection of greening is based on data, the attribution to various drivers is based on models,” said co-author Josep Canadell of the Oceans and Atmosphere Division in the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation in Canberra, Australia. Canadell added that while the models represent the best possible simulation of Earth system components, they are continually being improved.

And this, https://www.nature.com/article... which is an actual experiment, that says,

Rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrogen (N) deposition affect plant communities in numerous ways1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11. Nitrogen deposition causes local biodiversity loss globally12,13,14, but whether, and if so how, rising CO2 concentrations amplify or dampen those losses remains unclear and is almost entirely unstudied. We addressed this knowledge gap with an open-air experiment in which 108 grassland plots were grown for 24 years under different CO2 and N regimes. We initially found that adding N reduced plant species richness less at elevated than at ambient CO2. Over time, however, this interaction reversed, and elevated CO2 amplified losses in diversity from enriched N, tripling reductions in species richness from N addition over the last eight years of the study. These interactions resulted from temporal changes in the drivers of diversity, especially light availability, that were in turn driven by CO2 and N inputs and associated changes in plant biomass. This mechanism is likely to be similar in many grasslands, because additions of the plant resources CO2 and N are likely to increase the abundance of the dominant species. If rising CO2 generally exacerbates the widespread negative impacts of N deposition on plant diversity, this bodes poorly for the conservation of grassland biodiversity worldwide.

Bio-diversity is important. And from my knowledge of greenhouses, which admittedly involve higher levels of CO2, plants really need other fertilizer to healthily benefit from raised CO2 levels

OTOH, there are examples of countries with proportional representation where to form government you get coalitions that include very extreme parties. Israel and Italy are 2 examples. Proportional representation works best where consensus is normal, something America is not known for.

Might come up with a new religion as the stars slowly vanished, though most of them are far enough away that we wouldn't notice they are gone for a long time.

What makes you think there will be increased plant growth? Possibilities include,
1, populations of plants getting wiped out due to climate change. Plants don't migrate very quick.
2, increasing CO2 without increasing other nutrients results in sickly plants. That's why in greenhouses they add lots of 20-20-20 with micro-nutrients along with CO2 to increase healthy leave growth. Some crops like less nitrogen and higher potash and/or potassium, either way they need more nutrients along with CO2.
3, some types of photosynthesis do not respond well to increased CO2, mostly grasses including many of our crops such as wheat.
Even if you are correct, increased oxygen levels make combustion happen easier.

Yes, just like humans love sugar, and the affects of a sugar or CO2 diet are similar between plants and humans.
We need healthy plants, not sickly spindly plants. That's why greenhouses boost all nutrients instead of just boosting CO2.

Sure, there's orbital changes. Did you know that the distance to the Sun varies by 5 million miles a year. End of December currently the Earth is 5 million miles closer then at the end of July. Currently this correspond to warmer winters and cooler summers in the northern hemisphere where the majority of land is. Over 10's of thousands of years, both the maximum/minimum distance changes as well as the Earth's seasons change. This is a cause of varying climate over 10-100 thousand year scales.
What we are doing is changing things much faster then even those changes happen, and geology speaking, those are fast changes. Slower drivers of climate include things like the continents moving.

You can limit things like up page someone mentioned that now ChatGPT will refer suicidal people to the suicide hot line instead of encouraging them.
Remember, we're all mentally ill to some degree, usually minor enough of a degree that we function well, sometimes mentally ill in such a way (social-pathology for example) that society actually rewards us. Likewise, we all seem to be capable of getting more mentally ill. Go without sleep for a week and you will experience psychosis.

Well, Lincoln was in favour of shipping all the black people back to Africa or to other places. Hmm, according to https://www.politifact.com/fac... he hoped that they would go voluntarily and around 1862 switched to using them as cannon fodder, I mean allowing them to stay as free men.
Previously he backed the Corwin Amendment, which was the opposite of emancipation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
How a MAGA views Lincoln is likely complicated.

SpaceX would never of existed without NASA pioneering the technology and paying a lot of money to support them. The intercontinental railways also heavily leaned on government, huge gifts of land and a lot of government corruption. Some American Senators were referred to the Senator from railroad company (replace the name with an actual company). Phones have been heavily government regulated since the early 20th century when the government forced inter-operation, government even nationalized the phone company at one point. Unix was invented by the heavily regulated phone company, government forced them to do research.
Public transport was taken over by the government to prevent them from going out of business as they couldn't compete with the combination of automobile companies and their government pets (roads and laws to encourage automobiles over the type of city where (privately owned) public transport worked.
Going back further, a lot of advancement was encouraged by government as it was in the national interest, shipping, mining etc were important for military purposes.
Even computers were government driven, from doing the census to putting a man on the Moon, not to mention all the military uses.
Sometimes it was government driving industry, sometimes it was industry capturing government, either way government was involved.
