Nissan top execs dug their own grave. The pity is that the vast majority of the employees are highly skilled, diligent workers. Sadly they are led by inept dotards.

Posted in: Nissan reportedly tells Honda it will end merger talks See in context
The upper echelon cronies of Nissan have no clue about how badly they damaged the reputation of the company. I'm talking about the very top group, not the majority of the hardworking engineers, designed and factory workers who have been and will further be harmed by clueless "leadership". They made themselves a toxic mess.

Posted in: Environmental workers race to clear toxic debris left by LA fires See in context
Source (for those unable to do their own research).... EPA site on hazardous waste removal in the areas affected by the recent wildfires :
EPA will also remove lithium-ion batteries from vehicles, homes, and other products. Many homes have damaged or destroyed lithium-ion batteries, lithium-ion battery energy storage systems, and electric and hybrid vehicles. The batteries should be considered extremely dangerous, even if they look intact. Lithium-ion batteries can spontaneously re-ignite, explode, and emit toxic gases and particulates even after the fire is out.

The largest of the highly toxic waste sources are the overly-hyped EVs and hybrid cars. There's a reality of how "green" EVs actually are. In the fires, those have melted into the ground like nuke waste.

Posted in: Do you think democracy is the best form of government? See in context
Many of the posters on this fine thread seem to be unaware that the USA is NOT nor has ever been a "democracy" but rather that it is and has ALWAYS BEEN a Federal Union of the many States(currently 50), categorized as a Federal Presidential REPUBLIC.
The elections are conducted in a democratic manner meaning the CITIZENS vote.
The question above itself is worded ignorantly, thus the better answer is NO.

This "article" is itself fake news.
The media reported that President Trump rescinded his federal spending freeze on Wednesday.
However, the White House clarified that Trump did not rescind the federal funding freeze.
“It is simply a rescission of the OMB memo,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said. “Why? To end any confusion created by the court’s injunction.”
“The President’s EO’s on federal funding remain in full force and effect, and will be rigorously implemented,” Karoline Leavitt added.

I honestly wonder how many EVs contributed to the intensity of fires and the resulting spread.
Yes, many celebs as well as ordinary people lost homes, and as the fires continue to spread, more and more homes will be lost.
Very tragic in many ways.

For those who may have forgotten about the record-setting undersea volcanic eruption two years ago (Hunga Tunga), it injected a record-setting volume of water vapor into the stratosphere. That water vapor will linger for several years, causing a warming effect.
That's far more influential than bovine flatulence or fossil fuel combustion. It's just not taxable.
