Everyone knows covid came from a lab and didn't jump from an animal in a wet market to humans.
Who are they trying to fool?
Notably, Senate negotiations reduced the proposed moratorium from 10 years to five, and added exceptions for state rules that protect kids and copyrights, so long as the rules do not âoeunduly or disproportionately burdenâ AI systems and models.
Congratulations. You're the reason pests creep into other people's homes or invasive weeds overrun people's properties by forcing out native plants.
If you don't care about your lawn then move to the desert where you don't have to worry about such things. There are those who want a nice green lawn or lots of flowers for pollenators.
Not all the world is the US. In the US, you're relatively safe... well at least as long as you were born a US national, it seems we're deporting those who aren't. And we'll see where that trendline goes.
Other nations outside the US and EU? Safety varies a lot. There are plenty of governments happy to punish or disappear protest starters.
It arguably accomplished its goals of bailing out the major auto makers by forcing people to buy new cars (the "cash" was actually just a trade in credit - you couldn't get rid of an old car without buying a new one.)

"The formal name for the program was the Car Allowance Rebate System (CARS). The CARS program gave people who qualified a credit of up to $4,500, depending on the vehicle purchased and its improvement in fuel economy over the traded-in vehicle."
Yes it punished poor people by destroying the traded in cars (not to mention saddling them with the debt of buying a new one if they couldn't otherwise afford it.) This robbed the market not only of used cars for resale, but the parts to keep cars that weren't traded in working (since the traded in cars had to be crushed, and the engines destroyed by deliberately seizing the engines.)
Try Death Parade and Death Note. No, they are not related.
Placing bets on whether he'll slap an additional tariff on Poland because they're decreasing their use of coal.
China's economy can always sell product to Chinese people. There are a lot of them. Not to mention the rest of the world, which is happy to trade with China, if only because China isn't constantly making unreasonable and incoherent demands on everyone.
"Mad Max" seems to have seriously underestimated the creativity of Australians regarding energy production
I have thought that long before electromagnetic-confinement fusion reaches power production, it will be useful and usable for isotope production. Tritium for "boosted" fission weapons and possibly breeding plutonium?
orcas may even learn how to format a Slashdot post into paragraphs?
Agree with all your points.
It's possible I might have missed these, but they're also major considerations with COVID:
1. It causes scarring of tissue, especially heart tissue. That's why COVID sufferers often had severe blood clots in their bloodstream. Scarring of the heart increases risk of heart attacks, but there's obviously not much data on by how much, from COVID. Yet.
2. It causes brain damage in all who have been infected. Again, we have very little idea of how much, but from what I've read, there may be an increased risk of strokes in later life.
3. Viral load is known to cause fossil viruses in DNA to reactivate silenced portions. This can lead to cancer. Viral load has also been linked to multiple sclerosis and chronic fatigue, but it's possible COVID was the wrong sort of virus. These things can take decades to develop.
I would expect a drop in life expectancy, sometimes in the 2040-2050 timeframe, from life-shortening damage from COVID, but the probability depends on how much damage even mild sufferers sustained and what medicine can do to mitigate it by then. The first, as far as I know, has not been looked at nearly as much as long COVID has - which is fair. The second is obviously unknowable.
I'm hoping I'm being overly anxious, my worry is that I might not be anxious enough.
What the world *really* needs is a good Automatic Bicycle Sharpener.
