  • I think the part that hurts is that nobody in the Israeli government has any idea what to do with Palestine and its people after the shooting stops, other than the far right nut jobs calling for expansion of Israeli settlements and de facto ethnic cleansing of the land.

    Without a viable strategic end goal other than the destruction of Hamas as a military force and political entity, and a refusal to recognize a Palestinian state, what other conclusion can bystanders reach aside from seeing this war as an effort to destroy or displace the Palestinian people?






  • There’s several big problems that impede adoption of electric cars, one being limits to battery technology (like winter performance, charging speeds, and mileage off a single charge). Although they have gotten better over the years, there’s still more room for improvement. Another issue is that a sizeable chunk of the population lives in rural and remote areas, where the necessary infrastructure to support electric vehicles simply doesn’t exist. But even in more urbanized areas like Southern Ontario, the network of charging stations for electric cars is not consistent enough for many people to switch. There’s no excuse there - multiple Provincial governments failed to address this problem due to a lack of vision and forward thinking (or lobbying from automakers against green policies and infrastructure that hurt their bottom line), while most voters were too busy worrying about carbon footprints (corporate gaslighting) rather than discussing long term solutions.
