Was the Targeting of PISSI Member Sally Jones Legally Justified?

Looking at this in terms of right and wrong, I think it was justified in principle, for a reason they don't seem to be talking about. PISSI was a would-be state which held territory with an army. (It still holds a little territory though not much.) The US and UK were, and are, at war with PISSI. In war, I see no reason why one army shouldn't attack the effective propagandists of the enemy, along with its soldiers.

This doesn't apply to underground terrorist groups because they are more like a criminal gang than like an enemy state.

Plastic packaging

Supermarkets must develop replacements for plastic packaging.

Avoiding single-use bags to carry purchases in is only part of what we need to do.

Ammunition ban

Democrats propose to ban possession of ammunition clips that hold more than 10 bullets.

I support this. Of course, I understand it won't magically cause all large magazines to disappear. Many people will keep them illegally. But these will be found from time to time and destroyed, so they will become more scarce. Criminals that move in criminal circles will have contacts from whom to buy them, but other would-be killers won't have such contacts.

Adaptable clothes

Adaptable clothes for children can be used by a growing baby for more than two years.

Much of the article is about the wastefulness of buying clothing to use for a short while. I would expect that most such purchases are frivolous. If you are wise, you will reject the fashion industry and frivolous sales pitches, and buy clothes with a view to using them for a long time. If you don't want it enough to use it for a long time, you don't need to buy it at all.

Passenger ID

US government thugs stopped all passengers exiting a domestic flight and demanded they show ID. This is unconstitutional.
