This and $7/gal gasoline
And being stuck in airports
And flights getting canceled
We drive too much as Americans. That local transit ticket doesn't look so bad now. (public transportation should be free.)
Unironically Trump my reduce domestic dependence on oil... But Isreal is attacking oil fields and infrastructure so no global carbon benefits. Everyday people getting screwed over. I'm sure the top 1% aren't missing any vaccination or family gatherings due to TSA issues, gas prices, nor the guillotine will change their mind on how society should work.
Even African countries like Morocco have high speed train network. But the US? Of course no. How can you invade a country for wind or sunshine? Than again with the current bunch of science denying fuck wits in charge, you'll never know. They don't need any excuse or justification. The US is stuck in the 19th century in regards to infrastructure.
domestic dependence on oil
USA is a net exporter of oil
Not all "oil" is the same. Us had very little heavy crude oil. Hint to why we are at war with or trying to overthrow the governments of the two places with that kind of oil. So yes we export oil, but in the form of LNG and Shell/Coal.
The Democrats have already tried 7 separate times to reopen the government.
The fuck you on about?
All of this stress on people to ensure ICE can keep murdering people. That’s what it comes down to. The negotiation is around whether ICE should be allowed to completely abuse their power or only slightly less abuse their power. MAGA will let these people starve so that ICE doesn’t have to slightly reduce their abuse.
This. I don't blame em for quitting and I would like to have this stuff going but I don't want dhs funded until we claw back ice funding and get guarantees on them behaving civily and obeying the constitution and laws.
I'm sorry, can you clarify? You would like to have the security theater going?
no. honestly 911 should not have happened in the first place and my reading of the report novel that if we wanted to something effective we just would have pilots board from a sperate exterior door and not have the flight cabin connected to the passenger area. but my comment is about the current situation.
I was confused by "I would like to have this stuff going". Can you explain what you meant by that?
I would like to have our system going rather than not going but still requiring and thus limiting flights and such. I don't want the shutdown of the dhs specifically because of the tsa.
Good.
Oh no. Who will check to make sure the shampoo or lotion bottles we take onto airplanes aren't too large?
