beef production would be a very easy problem to tackle, along with pork production
they would be politically difficult because beef and pork producers own a lot of congressmen and senators, and because people LIKE the taste of beef
there is no nutritional necessity in it whatsoever, there are entire religions which do not eat one or more of them (jews, muslims: pork; hindus:beef; buddhists:either) production of animal matter from plant matter is nutritionally wasteful by a factor of about 10, so the calories produced by animal farming and the crop lands needed to grow feed for said animals would be only 10% the current size if it were plant based foods being produced directly for people.
i am not personally against meat, i like to eat it and have no desire to ban it or coerce anyone not to eat it, but it is not needed at all, anyone telling you it is is lying to you for financial or political gain.
additionally this is a conversation we as a species need to be having on an ongoing basis such that we can manage population growth with a matched improvement in materials, space, and energy efficiency.
ther are three ways to deal with a problem caused by excess consumption
1) reduce consumption, especially unnecessary consumption, "scaling back lifestyle"
2) deliberate global depopulation
3) ignore the problem and hope technology and the invisible penis of the free market fix the problem before we have a large scale unintentional global depopulation
you can't get around it, and i don't know about you but the thought of deliberately killing billions of people or standing by and doing nothing while billions die is unpalatable to me, it's an entirely solvable problem but it does mean scaling back wastes of resources and doing what can be done to improve the stability of destitute populations because destitute populations have much higher birth rates. also do what can be done to reduce birth rates all around without coercion.
iran's current government did not sign that treaty, the now deposed government did, though they should formally withdraw if they do decide to build nukes
H&R block offers free online filing if your income is less than 57k and it's a simple return (i can't remember the exact qualifications, i think you had to be taking standard deduction but i'm not sure)
if they love the free market let's give it to them, strictly protected.
anyone concealing or failing to disclose or resisting disclosure of health information or potential risks of a product they sell gets the death penalty, the CEO and board of directors automatic death penalty because it's their job to know about their products, any employees who failed to whistle-blow also get the death penalty, any lawyers who obstructed the final release of the information - death penalty
in addition, any sort of collusion between companies who are competing- no appeals do not pass go do not collect $200, instead the people collect your heads, every executive and the board, as well as any other employees who know
let's free the shit out of the market, just like we freed the shit out of Iraq and Afghanistan
but they won't activate a wifi smart phone without a data plan, because using only wifi wouldn't make any money for them.......
and the capitalists wonder why we keep getting bigger and bigger government..... duh it's because the capitalists are larcenous kochsuckers always trying to scam and extra buck or ten.
in addition to that you have direct corporate government censorship in the form of large infrastructure businesses prohibiting certain types of content, amazon, visa, mastercard, paypal, and many more have all done this.
not to mention illegal AT&T wiretapping which was legalized ex post facto. and so called "national security" letters
this is where most tape horror stories come from, typically with bush leage operations not bothering to RTFM and set up verification, followed by storing the tapes wherever is convenient, like down in the damned basement or shoved in a filing cabinet inside a server closet that isn't cooled properly
Agreed, I am using a bold 9700 with OS 5, everything integrates nicely, I can upload a picture to anything that may accept a picture from the camera right after taking, or from the image browser or from the filesystem browser. Third party apps can be installed from the browser without need of a PC, just about everything except OS upgrades can be done on the phone with no computer attached, and the real keyboard means actual content can by typed in, unlike touchscreen keyboards which can only strive to suck less
not much use right now, but possible future development of cheap / low embodied carbon / low usage of rare and toxic solar collectors with a lower collection rate could benefit from this greatly
Congress does have the authority to dispand the TSA, and while they are at it they should disband homeland security as well, fascist thugs the lot of 'em
If they set up a duress password system it would have to be an N level rather than a single duress password so a duress view could create a lower level of duress account such that a duress/limited account had no detectable tell-tales
you are subject to those intrusions because, as of yet, few or no people are willing to lead an insurrection over those intrusions. the constitution is just a goddamned piece of paper
