Alternatively, ‘Huge corpo wants to siphon government money to reopen nuclear facility years after disaster’ sure sounds like the dystopian version to me.

JD Vance’s response to abortion rights was ‘we need to get women to trust us’, so yeah I’d imagine its pretty dismal.

The company has injected more than 4.5 million metric tons of carbon into the ground below its Decatur plant since it began operations. To put this in perspective, the plant emitted more than 4.1 million metric tons of CO2 into the atmosphere in 2022 alone.

So they basically took a chunk of emissions and said, I’ll bet we can make that double what it is now, but only if we also poison the locap water supplies.

Vance after the Debate

Vance digging deep into the reddit school of debate. ‘Explain to me how my lie is untrue please. I’ll derail all other talk until then.’

Yeah, I read this article and a similar one the other day and it sure sounds to me like he just cross bred some sheep and none of the people involved know what cloning is. He apparently cloned the sheep, but then used it to breed hybrids? That he sold based on percent of the originals DNA? If you can clone in the first place (doubtful, obviously), why are you then breeding anything?

One small rant I’d like to make as this article glosses over his bullshit of a sentence. This country is absolutely fucking terrible about enforcing poaching, wildlife trafficking, or any other number of clear degradations to our natural environment. Ignoring the fact that he most likely didn’t even hybridize anything, because ‘paid off a hunter for the ram’s testicle’ doesn’t inspire confidence as to the care of the sperm cells; he still was illegally trafficking wild animals and their body parts with the intent of raising invasive animals for distribution. And yet, he not only isn’t even getting a slap on the wrist, the judge in the case is fawning over him like he outsmarted all those fancy college kids by cloning a sheep in his barn with nothing more than his own wits and god on his side.

Trump getting immunity from the SC only to squander it by allowing discovery isn’t my first choice, but damn would that be hilarious.

He’s cancelling the speech so as to not cross the picket line. In support of the union.

Ah yes, a tale as old as when this country started fucking letting companies do that in the first place.

Thanks for the 4 years tuition though!

I could see them barring them from walking for their degree, but to hold it completely is messed up. Bullshit that ‘the corporation’ overruled the faculty vote.

Was surprised to be able to see it this far south, in canyon of the ancients so super remote.

Haha, this is now the only scene I’ve ever watched from that movie, and I’m gonna tell myself that its about his passion for carpentry.

Dude fired seven times, and three hit the car. What a menace, should have been charged with attempted murder.
