Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

And there are 11 separate wastewater streams that result from production.

And here I thought jeans were problematic.

And much of that wastewater will be now free of regulation.

It wouldn’t be a big deal if we made watering lawns illegal. Americans waste billions of gallons of water on fucking grass, often in the desert. Also golf courses should be illegal, etc.

Does anyone seriously think Biden is ever going to propose any of those ideas to offset this?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

Why would Biden propose this? When will people wrap their tiny brains around the fact that in a democracy, politicians do what the voters want. And voters want big expensive cars, suburban blight, lawns, and meat.

The US is not a democracy

And conservatives ~~voters~~ want big expensive cars, suburban blight, lawns, and meat.

FTFY

Naw, come on. Be serious. What fraction of likely voters aren’t in favor of these things? 5%? 10%?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

A lot more than you think. And certainly anyone who knows a little bit about climate change. The US is certainly far behind the rest of the developed world on that, but it's starting to catch on.

Idk how to break this to you but only like 1% of Americans are vegan. Giant Gas-guzzling SUVs are the most popular vehicles, and don't even get me started on Fast Fashion or all the other bullshit that’s literally everywhere I look in your worthless culturally cancerous society.

There's no doubt that the US has extreme problems when it comes to health and consumption. Much more so than any other developed country on earth. Unhealthy lifestyles are ingrained into the culture. But I still notice more people taking note. Not so much among conservative groups, but much more among progressives and independents.
