If you allow the anti-trans movement to breathe and flourish, other marginalized groups are next. It's not about intellectualism. It's just common decency. 

 

The anti trans movement has spearheaded bullshit mumbo jumbo medical research studies. Aryan’s portrayal of the bullshit Cass Review was a harbinger. RFK is now full steam shoving bogus science down citizen throats to discredit vaccines. Expect similar anti-science efforts for the most common, and therefore expensive to insurance companies, medical treatments.

It's like when GlaxoSmithKline makes the life-saving medication $23,999 per pill but has a coupon program you can sign up for so that it only costs $1,200 per pill.

HIV patients at my old clinic are routinely given thousands of dollars of medication at a time. The drug rep will give the clinic basically as many bottles as wanted/needed with very little oversight in how they are used (which isn't a bad thing in this instance, imo, since there really isn't a black market for HIV drugs). So like why does it otherwise cost so much? Insanity.

WASHINGTON, July 29 (Reuters) - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will rescind the long-standing finding that greenhouse gas emissions endanger human health, as well as tailpipe emission standards for vehicles, removing the legal foundation of greenhouse gas regulations across industries, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced on Tuesday.
Republican President Donald Trump's pick Zeldin announced the agency's plan to rescind the "endangerment finding" at an event at a truck factory in Indiana, alongside Energy Secretary Chris Wright, and called it the largest deregulatory action in U.S. history.

So no more state inspections for my car?

Wife’s car needed a new sticker. She was told inspections are no longer required. 
No inspection, but sticker was bought. Hays County, Texas.

San Antonio is not a major metropolitan area?

and seriously... any county that touches I-35 should be considered an emissions county.

Shocking. And I'm so fucking tired of this round robin of you get to for no this time, but next time you have to vote yes. Nothing but a sham. Just vote yes and go fuck yourself

Speaking of, my douchebag frat kid neighbors apparently renewed their lease and put their dotard sign back up. They somehow get girls that are into it, as I’ve seen a couple of them doing the walk of shame early in the mornings when I walk the dogs. 
You should tell the walk of shame ladies that she better hope the pill works because he's gonna make you drive to New Mexico to get rid of it.

Bartolotta highlighted the new information now available on the EPA’s website, saying its mention of the issue is more evidence that her concerns are valid and adding that she is worried about potential adverse health impacts.

“I know so many people today, they’re finally noticing, and it gets worse and worse and worse,” she said. “Every single day, you can’t look at the sky and not see huge stripes sprayed by all these planes every single day and every night.”

Admittedly I'm ignorant about weather modification but there are companies that claim to be able to help produce rain. I don't know if its science based or the modern day equivalent of a rain dancer. I do think there should be regulation about someone putting chemicals in clouds, which is being done.  And I don't mean chemtrails.

Utah is known for cloud seeding and is expanding their efforts.

Wow. They actually do believe that every time you see a con trail (condensation that freezes in the wake of a fast-moving plane) that it's actually cloud seeding.

I guess those Indycar and F1 cars I've seen generating wingtip vortices/vapor trails were part of the conspiracy too! Dang. I wish I's MAGA smart!

LOL. It's Scotland, so of course Trump is triggered again about windmills. Here he is explaining how windmills are compoletely unrecyclable, that the carbon fiber blades 'rust' and 'rot', and they have to be dumped into the sea, all of which is complete fabricated nonsense, of course. LOL Starmer's doing everything he can to keep the stupidity from 'sploding his head. nsiap.

Even ignoring the emissions implications, doing away with inspections is madness in pretty much every way.

Disagree! I was an inspector for years. It’s a pretty pointless exercise with very little connection to safety.

Nevertheless, she says gold standard research, but her boss uses studies made out of whole cloth.

It was an extra annual tax. I’ve lived in two other states and neither had vehicle safety inspections.  I don’t think it does much to get junk cars off the roads.

untrue . tires .rear lighting . wiper blades  ive either been an inspector or have run a shop for 30+ and NO ONE is more disconnected from reality than a broke ass needing tires to pass . most serious people see a check engine light fix it likely b/c it comes with a run condition . but safety ,when left to them , is ,well.... pretty much like everything else in Texas  . lacking . also the emission testing in williamson / travis is a joke .

So let me get the logic here.

  • the federal government raises tariffs on imported goods.
  • the importer pays the tariff to the federal government
  • to make up cost of the tariffs the importer raises the prices on the goods  they are importing.
  • Americans pay for the higher priced goods
  • the federal government takes the money raised by the tariffs and 
    • pays down the debt
    • cuts a check to every American for $600

Not really, we didn't have them in Florida, but we did have emissions testing.   I found more shitty cars on the roads of Texas than in Florida when I worked on cars, and our road conditions in Texas make shattered windshields more frequent here and our insurance coverage (in Florida it was completely covered by ins.) on the issue was better.
