Not true. While some settlements are on demolished Palestinian structures that were built illegally, the vast majority of settlement homes are new constructions on previously unoccupied land

EPA seems to have changed where they are sending the waste. The water was being shipped all the way down to Houston, now it seems to being sent to somewhere in Ohio.

Kim is a little upset about Putin taking all the attention from him.

Not so easy to brainwash adults though. These poor kids were stolen and trafficked.

Certainly took long enough

If the people in this state elect Republicans this is what will happen , human suffering and death are collateral damage to profit.

"Some of the liquid wastes will be sent to a facility in Vickery, Ohio, where it will be disposed of in an underground injection well,” Shore said. “Norfolk Southern will also beghin shipping solid waste to the Heritage Incinerator in East Liverpool, Ohio.”

Lovely.

The people protesting are the same that thought masks are useless during a respiratory pandemic. They are all told what to think and feel from similar sources.

None of these "protesters for peace" demands that Putin pulls out his army from Ukraine.

I feel I should point out you replied to your own comment here, but there's another more pressing matter here.

The dynamic of "totally safe" vs. "marijuana will make you murder your family" exists because that is one of the many ways that prohibition damages society.

If possessing a substance carries criminal penalties, any level of nuance to the conversation about the substance flies out the window. Those who support the prohibition of the substance view users as "under the control of the substance" and will use that view to justify dismissal of anybody who argues against the prohibition. Because of this demand for purity, those who use or know anything about the substance are not going to be inclined to associate with people who will shit on them for having an opinion.

The people who do not support prohibition but do not view a drug as totally harmless are removed from the conversation. They cannot research the drug without risking criminal penalties and loss of rights for possessing the drug. If they speak their mind, they can be potentially subject to investigation that is intended to find a way to punish them for having spoken out.

This leaves those who are hardline supporters of the drug in the conversation: those who are willing to face incarceration or death in defiance of prohibition. Like the prohibitionists, this group leans towards an extreme. Therefore, they will also tend to speak in more "absolute" language. Unfortunately, the "middle of the road" crowd is unable to reason with them for the same reason they cannot reason with prohibitionists: prohibitionists will find a way to punish them for saying something other than "this drug makes you murder your family".

Do note that the prohibitionists are responsible for both sides of this silencing of moderates and not just their own debate. Those who support ease of access to whatever drug aren't going to send moderates to forced labor camps for disagreeing with them. They also don't send prohibitionists to forced labor camps for disagreeing with them, but considering how much harm prohibition has done to society perhaps doing so might serve as a deterrent.

When asked for comment, his wife said "bah."

All aboard the pollution train. Choo Choo.

Oh good. Glad it is back to normal now. Proceed with the aluminum nitrate shipments on this surprisingly sketchy rail line.
