Nerve gas poisoning

lundi 17 septembre 2018 à 02:00

Activists have tied the recent nerve gas poisoning suspects to the Russian Ministry of Defense, and caught them in other lies.

Cornstarch bags

lundi 17 septembre 2018 à 02:00

A UK supermarket chain will replace plastic bags for fruits and vegetables with cornstarch bags.

The problem with cornstarch is that it is made from corn, and the corn has to be grown. If all the plastic packaging now used were replaced with cornstarch, what fraction of the world's corn crop would that use? Can anyone find the data to make a rough estimate of this?

If I receive a good answer, I will post it.

Corrupted FEMA

Republicans are chiefly to blame for "natural" disasters in the US. Directly so because they corrupt FEMA, so that the physical events cause a much bigger human disaster.

When the physical event is extreme weather, Republicans are also responsible indirectly because they have forced global heating faster.

Democratic officials do a good job with FEMA. Against global heating, plutocratist mainstream Democrats are not as bad as Republicans, but not good enough to avoid global disaster.

When US parents demand schools "do something, right away" to prevent a shooting, the measures schools adopt make them feel (more) like jails. This does little for safety but a lot to create an atmosphere of distrust.

School shootings harm few students each year; the school to prison pipeline harms far, far more.
