Waymos Are a Huge Drain on Public Resources, Government Data Shows Data from San Francisco's transit agency shows the stunning ways Waymo shirks accountability for its fleet of robotaxis.

Something I think about a lot is how different our world would look if we took the $100billion+ we've invested in autonomous vehicle development alone and put into street safety infrastructure in our cities instead. And the subsidies don't stop with R&D.

Ticketmaster is a blight in American business. It's no better than organized crime. So of course Trump pats it on the head and shrugs. They must've given money to his pac.

The U.S. is rationing penicillin in 2026.  A drug invented in 1943.  We let syphilis spiral out of control and now there isn’t enough. This is a policy failure, not a supply chain mystery.

Denmark's wind turbine generation surplus meant ordinary consumers have enjoyed six hours of free electricity [so far] this week, because it's cheaper to give that surplus away than shut down the turbines to reduce output.

Why didn't they just drill for more oil?

Imagine if all the civilised world went solar and wind turbine and eliminated the need for oil, Russia would have billions of barrels of oil and nobody would want it or need it. This must be the longterm target.

Norway’s Bloody Whaling Quota Climbs to 1,641 Minke Whales

Whales are still being harpooned, dragged from the ocean,killed for an industry that should have ended long ago. These intelligent, social beings nurture their young, sustain ocean ecosystems, help keep our shared planet alive, yet they are still being brutally killed & treated as commodities.
