Trucking especially is something I think the Dems need to really aggressively appeal to. Truck drivers are the backbone of the economy, the industry has moved aggressively to destroy labor organization and they benefited massively from deregulation. It's also on the verge of massive fuckery thanks to self-driving vehicles.

Trucking is going to massively tank if we ever get around to actually imposing proper taxes on trucking companies to compensate for the hilarious amounts of damage they do to national infrastructure.

So I haven't really looked into this... is there any shred of truth to the claims that the reason California fires are as bad as they are is because environmentalist groups have been blocking efforts for controlled burns, which prevent fires from spreading?

Long story short, most likely.

The entire enviroment of Californa was basically designed and developed by Native Americans in such a way that it needs regular controlled burns or everything goes to poo poo.

The burns were regular enough, and old enough that some of the first spanish accounts mention how everything is on fire and the Native American groups are the ones setting them. They of course get pissed because it fucks up their ranching stuff. The practice basically ends by the Mission period due to obviois reasons.

Part of it may be climate change, but its also heavily influenced by the fact we may have reached the point where the system is collapsing.

You know how its looking more and more likelt the Amazon also has some heavily human designed and devloped forests? Same with California but it involves much more fire.

I have been thinking of getting my undergrad college seals, my grad school seal, and then the emblem glyphs of the archaeological sites I work on tattooed along my ribs. Think it would be neat to leave a record of my life like that.

I was under the impression that you could not plead ignorance to the law.

INL but I can see an argument being made where if you are constantly being given legal advice by legal professionals as a part of your job (being the president or whatever) and it turns out your lawyer was lying or misinformed or whatever that its not really your fault.

Like I guess it would be still illegal but I imagine the punishment would be way less and more of a dont do this again type deal.

There probally is already kill-sats in orbit but its one of those things we wont know about till some conflict kicks off between major powers and they are given the okay to engage.

Though the common depiction of them is just sats filled with explosived and shrapnel shred the enemy ones.

Luckily the NPS has kept staff at the Hawaii parks, notably Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park, and has shut down Puʻukoholā Heiau National Historic Site entirely. I am worried about Kaloko-Honokōhau National Historical Park, as well as Wupatki, Chaco Canyon, Walnut Canyon, Mesa Verde, Aztec West, Casa Grande, anyon de Chelly and Navajo National Monument and hope they don't get pothunted. We've already been dealing with destruction and lootint for years but the NPS protected sites have fared better.

They are totally getting pothunted. When are they not getting pothunted.

Everything in Northern Arizona is prolly slightly better off because the weather has been poo poo here for a little bit which makes getting around annoying. But that also might work the other way and encourage it.

I think if people continue to slowly get pissed as they have been doing for the last week or so its going to go out of Trump/McConnell/Pelosis hands.

If people straight up refuse to come into work for airports, continue/increase protesting and miss another pay check and cant eat we will see people get increasingly pissed. If we see riots over hunger and not being able to paid rent and the media still paints it as the republicans fault they are going to cave because you cant control or really factor in riots.
