Ha!
I use less than 200 kilowatts on the average per month. I drive about 1,500 miles a year. My total carbon footprint is less than 8,000 tonnes annually. That’s including heating and my hot water usage. Also… my water consumption is among the lowest in town most years. This spring summer will be an exception because of needing to water newly planted apple trees, potted silver maple trees and all my garden stuff.
This is the the first year I didn’t plant trees to offset my small footprint because of the drought. I did manage to save about half of the silver maples I had potted from last year for transplanting this fall.

Nothing in the reconciliation bill is going to change a damn thing. But it will pass a lot of federal tax dollars to a select group of wealthy people.

I understand some library books were never returned, and should be racking up daily fines. Let’s check that too.

The gun manufacturers are being sued by the childrens’ estates. Would that make a difference?

Besides the harassment factor, would you care to speculate on the strategy of requesting "Any and all educational records in your possession including but not limited to, application and admission paperwork, attendance records, transcripts, report cards, disciplinary records, correspondence and any and all other educational information and records pertaining to’ each of the five first-graders whose Estates are plaintiffs in this case” from the Newtown Public School District?

Also, it seems any reasonable jury would interpret this records request as carte blanche “to kick your client in the balls as hard and as often as they feel like he deserves.” I know I would.

This does not in any way excuse you’re persistent poo pooing of climate action.

I believe climate change mitigation is in at least one of the bills. “Preventing” disasters related to climate change is never the goal of these measures anyway. It’s to make future events less severe than they will be otherwise, without any mitigation at all. It’s going to be a rough ride for the next 50-100 years but we’re not completely helpless to do anything about that.

I do love kid and woman energies. I see old ladies (older than myself!) on TikTok. Go for it! And, join us on the Feminist Initiative. I believe that is an actual political party somewhere…

You know, Matt Gaetz has actually said that a former president can be impeached. So, it must be so.Maybe this could eventually make TFG an endless, one-term, three-time-loser!

What makes it kinda weird is… Remington Arms no longer exists. It and the parent corporation, Remington Outdoor Company, were broken up a year ago in bankruptcy filings.

So exactly which of the people on the hook here is pushing this? Cerberus Capital, the guys who owned Remington before the breakup (and at the time of Sandy Hook)? The group of companies that purchased pieces of Remington, and so might see those assets attached from this?

@txlawyer any ideas?

Yes and no. Lifetime earning potential would be a relevant inquiry, but only as part of the overall question of what they would have left behind if they hadn’t gotten murdered by the defendant’s product. As noted, a defense of “Look how stupid these kids were” is the best possible way to inflame the jury against your own client.

On the positive side, if we can retain control of the House and strengthen Dem control of the Senate in the midterms, then we can get some voting rights bills on Biden’s desk in time for the 2024 election.

Per the Constitution, the House has the sole power of impeachment. If it wants to impeach a cockroach, that cockroach can get impeached. Same goes for Trump.
