@Railbuff1 @Zoomerjeet I mean it's accurate. All poor countries should be embracing solar and moving away from fossil fuels

Woah, Newsom is threatening to withhold homelessness funding because of LA's SB 79 implementation
Eytan Wallace@EytanWallace

“I am not asking — I am begging.” Big city California mayors were in Sacramento today urging Gov. @GavinNewsom and lawmakers to approve $1 billion for homelessness programs (HHAP)—warning shelters could close without it. Newsom’s budget proposes $500 million. He suggested he’s holding there for now, citing frustration with cities like LA not complying with SB 79, the state law requiring more high-density housing near transit. "You don't build, we're not going to fund," Newsom said. Watch below:

@JrWannamaker @Noahpinion What has he done to make you think that? He wrote a bad book about why white people in rural America are lazy while she has a successful career

@Noahpinion I have a lot of negative things to say about Vance, but he's vastly more intelligent than Harris.

@WhateverVishal Chinese administration does not waste time in whataboutery, which is what I like about them. India would have been the same if the power had not gone to the lowest of the lower, the parasites of the Indian society.

No one has a fucking clue how modern industrial ag works. They picture little house on the prairie, not an extractive industry with a massive environmental impact. You should think of it basically in terms of the oil industry both for how necessary it is and how destructive it is

@AndyMasley It would be better if city government wasn't so dysfunctional that they need an external party to tell them about the existence of trash cans. The 20 cent argument is a bit dumb because you can argue for a lot of waste that way

Everyone roasts the McKinsey report on trash cans in NYC but consider that for the entire history of the greatest city in the world before this report, they did not have trash cans. The function of a consultancy is to gather prestige so it can give incredibly simple advice to large organizations that are so old and brittle their internal status systems no longer let obvious ideas rise to the top. By being a high-prestige external org, the consultancy can send in people with zero expertise who still give great advice because the simple obvious things any normal person would say aren't getting through otherwise. An incredibly valuable service to brittle aging city and state governments. "Maybe trash cans would make the city less stinky" was something no one seemed to have considered.

Zohran is cancelling the NYC Department of Social Services' $9 million contract with McKinsey. Starting in 2022 under Eric Adams the City of New York paid McKinsey $1.6 million to research trash cans.

@BharatUnlocked Based on what I have seen in Canada, this doesn't seem true.

@GuchenLiu @AlecStapp There are clearly benefits but the negative externalities are enormous and we should prioritize research in alternatives

@MrsFluffySock @RishiJoeSanu I'm fine with lab grown meat, just saying there are alternatives to protein today for those who are concerned

@grayap9 @RishiJoeSanu Not the same in taste or composition, will not be accepted by the vast majority of the world. +The idea of supplements & miserable food just sucks. Instead more focus should be given on the ethical production of meat. Good treatment of animals,or lab. We're omnivorous by nature.

@grayap9 @RishiJoeSanu No. Moving away from meat is only good if there are meat alternatives (lab based meat) in the first place. Or you're just waiting for deficiency issues to happen all over.
