Putin plans to disconnect the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant from Ukraine's power grid. This would create the risk of reactor meltdowns if anything goes wrong with local electric generation, because keeping the reactor cores cool requires electricity.

One can see, from this, that the existence of a nuclear reactor creates a risk whenever anything else goes wrong. Earthquete? Tsunami? Air attack?

This is one of the reasons why building more nuclear power plants is foolish. The other reason is that for the same amount of money you could build far more generating capacity using renewable generation, and power storage too.

Over 40,000 prisoners in the US are held in long-term solitary confinement. That is a form of brainwashing.

1/3 of Pakistan could be flooded by later this year.

Recognition of the apartheid-like nature of Israels occupation of Palestine is spreading around the world, among human rights organizations, world leaders, and even some former Israeli officials.

The Federal Reserve plans to keep increasing interest rates until inflation goes down.

Low interest rates are not causing today's inflation, so this tactic is not going to achieve the goal until it creates lots of unemployment.
