Jordan is probably gonna die, i mean he's lifting curtains on weapons manufacturers killing people in Papua with experimental missiles from European manufacturers. It's only a matter of time before Icarus flies too close to the sun and finds out that international business empires and organised crime are one and the same as soon as you dissect the racquets they've created to earn money forever.

Mola Yam posted:hey instead of bike paths can we post about how the state of tasmania should be dissolved (fyi: child sex abuse related): Unless you are a victim or a victim support person you owe it to the children of tasmania to force youself to read through that. gently caress knows what you can then do with that information but it will mean you can no longer tell yourself you just didn't know or realise it was going on. Remember please, what state Grace Tame came from too. The above makes what I am about to ask seem petty and insignificant but... I am currently involved in dragging a local rural shire out of the grasp of the National Party. A recent SRV process has even enraged the NFF. If anyone has releveant experience in local government policies and administration shoot me a pm. The rest of you in NSW please make a response to https://www.ipart.nsw.gov.au/Home/Industries/Local-Government/Review-of-council-financial-model-in-NSW If you are not fully aware both the Federal and State governments have been cost shifting onto local councils. This has made Special Rate Variations routine for most NSW councils. Increasing rates removes money from everyone in a community and is therefore a terrible (non-progressive) tax. Eventually the poorest lose the capacity to pay for their existing housing and become homeless. It is an emerging crisis. Thanks for your time and patience.

When did the chaser become right wing? They’ve spent a good twenty minutes on their America show talking about how it’s too easy to claim asylum; super predators are coming across illegally; and undocumented migrants are ruining the joint; and their solution is to shut the border and stop processing asylum claims.

In thought that was just Chas Liciardello and John Baron, who's always seemed kind of right wing. Nothing to do with Chaser Assuming you're taking about Planet America. It's a pretty bad show

I read an essay a decade or more ago in the back of one of their issues or annuals where one of the Chaser guys basically repeated uncritically Roger Bate (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Bate) talking points on using DDT to combat malaria https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Africa_Fighting_Malaria

Generally, the mosquitos have a higher resistance to DDT than the other persistent chemicals and so is not in that year's mix but the resistance of mosquitos to chemicals is changing all the time so some years DDT is the most effective (generally do a mosquito sample and test program ahead of the wet season/twice a year) and therefore the one used for wall spraying that year might include DDT. There is night and day difference in malaria stats between villages that have a spraying campaign and those that don't. Of course, just recently there is vaccines being rolled out which will hopefully make an even bigger difference at far less cost but it is still early days for that.

Roger Bates is a hatchetman for various dubious companies and industries to discredit genuine concerns about those companies and their practices. The precise argument he peddles is that DDT is the very best method of malaria control and these stupid environmentalist don't understand the situation in Africa because otherwise they'd be in favour of using DDT and isn't that the real racism?

fez_machine posted:Roger Bates is a hatchetman for various dubious companies and industries to discredit genuine concerns about those companies and their practices. Certainly not the very best method of malaria control, but a key part (well from 2010 to 2011 when these guys were active from the Wiki, now hopefully soon it will be the vaccine) along with DEET netting, education campaigns on long standing water, long sleeves etc. There were campaigns for complete ban of DDT (and other persistent chemicals) by environmentalists that was certainly flawed and would have been a disaster resulting in millions of additional deaths but whether this mob was campaigning against those specific campaigns is not 100% clear to me. This guy might be a crank but like a broken clock is right twice a day, opposing environmental campaigns to outright ban DDT is the correct move every day of the week (although if he done by declaring enviros are racists or something then yeah, weirdo). That some (well meaning, if completely ignorant) environmentalists got onboard with outright banning of DDT, it is on them if they get called out on it. That it was by some weirdo that most of the world ignores (or even heard of) is meh.

Genuine Glocks are mostly plastic and lol at the dumb oval office who didn't think 3D printing was going to improve significantly. Also seems to have a poor understanding of material hardness vs brittleness but i guess it's in par after the former points.

People can get guns? Now there’s no way for us to stop rampant gun use other than our ability to arrest, prosecute and jail anyone caught in possession of an illegal gun. Society on the brink of collapse.
