Indigenous Australians in Western Australia are fined by human enforcers (thugs) of the rules of the road much more often than other drivers. Strangely, robot enforcers do not fine them especially often.

This seems to be proof of human bigotry.

*A "sustainability charge" on meat to cover its environmental damage could raise billions to help farmers and consumers produce and eat better food.*

This tax would discourage people from eating meat — which is a good idea, for the sake of health. If the tax on beef is especially high, it would also discourage raising cattle, which makes sense because they generate methane.

However, it makes sense also to tax the cultivation of plants that are grown specifically to feed to animals farmed for meat.

Switching from coal to fracked gas did not reduce greenhouse emissions. Meanwhile, fracking in the US is expanding so much that it guarantees disaster.

*Only Sanders among the candidates understands the urgency of the Crisis of Plutocracy and has a workable plan for dealing with it.*

Warren also understands plutocracy, and I have confidence that her plan is workable too. But Sanders does go further.

Republicans are ready to impeach at the drop of a hat, and are already thinking about how to impeach Biden for alleged shortcomings in the past.

The impeachment standard they propose does have one benefit: it would permit impeaching Kavanaugh for attempted rape in the past. But I think that this would not outweigh the permanent damage caused by debasing impeachment as Republicans generally debase things.

Meanwhile, Biden still claims he can "work with Republicans" in the Senate.
