yeah you have to make it sound cool, like reducing inflation or improving infrastructure, that's what gets people excited

Also, what's funny is the student thought the word "climate" in a Climate Amendment in Delaware would turn off Republicans in our southern-most county. Which is probably true! But what's also true is the Democrats have near super-majorities here so who gives a gently caress???

Look if you tell the factory chicken farm workers that maybe pouring so much chicken poo poo into the waterways is bad, they might not like you. So you should never do anything about that. ever. Even though they personally probably dont care and its just the company owners who are pieces of poo poo.

There's a bill inching its way through the UK Parliament this year which increases the standard term of extension for a lease on a property from 90 years to 990 years.

Most UK dairy farms ignoring pollution rules as manure spews into rivers
Exclusive: 80% of Welsh dairy farms inspected, 69% of English ones, 60% in Scotland and 50% in Northern Ireland breaching regulations

The majority of UK dairy farms are breaking pollution rules, with vast amounts of cow manure being spilled into rivers.

When animal waste enters the river, it causes a buildup of the nutrients found in the effluent, such as nitrates and phosphates. These cause algal blooms, which deplete the waterway of oxygen and block sunlight, choking fish and other aquatic life.

Sixty nine per cent of the 2,475 English dairy farms inspected by the Environment Agency between 2020 and 2021 were in breach of environmental regulations, according to new data released under freedom of information laws.

The problem is prevalent across the UK; in Wales 80% of the 83 dairy farms inspected by Natural Resources Wales between 2020 and 2022 were non-compliant with anti-pollution regulations. In Northern Ireland 50% of the 339 dairy farms inspected by the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs between 2020 and 2022 were not compliant, and in Scotland 60% of the 114 dairy farms initially inspected by the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency between 2020 and 2023 were in breach of regulations.
