*If Biden isn’t willing to really fight the climate crisis, he shouldn’t run

*If Biden isn’t willing to really fight the climate crisis,
he shouldn’t run
in 2024.*
I disagree with the article on one subpoint: it is not only the
results that count. When something really important is at stake, we
can forgive you for being defeated, if we see you fought really hard.
But if you fail to do that, you have failed us. |

Starmer is taking the Labour Party a
step closer to plutocratism.
"Growth" as a political goal tends to be an excuse to reject other
more important goals, such as "tax the rich and help the rest." |

*Tyre dust: the "stealth pollutant"*
*Tyre dust: the "stealth pollutant" that’s becoming a
huge threat to
ocean life.*
Governments' mission requires compelling tire manufacturers to disclose what
the tires contain. No one is entitled to keep secrets about
chemicals that may be endangering ecosystems. The idea that businesses
should have such powers is sheer plutocracy. |

The American Data Privacy and Protection Act takes a step toward
limiting how companies can snoop on computer users.
The American Data Privacy and Protection Act takes a step toward
limiting how companies can snoop on computer users. But the bad part
is
that it preempts state laws.
I suspect that the ADPPA is fundamentally based on limiting the use of
data once collected, an approach that it is inadequate, because the
only method that will really work is to
limit the collection of the
data.
If states can't pass laws that go beyond this, all progress will
stop.
So I think this law should not be passed. |

* By declaring a public health emergency under the Public Readiness and
Emergency Preparedness Act, the Biden administration could "enable
out-of-state prescribing and dispensing of medications for
abortion for those in states with abortion bans."* |

Tracking with snoop-phones
Cellular network operators in Europe are associating each network
access from a snoop-phone with its phone number, so web sites
(advertisers) can track each user. |

Women sterilizing themselves
Thousands of US women are getting themselves sterilized, for fear that
they would no longer have the option of abortion. But it can be difficult
to find a surgeon willing to do the operation. |

Bleak midterms
*Let's Acknowledge Why the Midterms Look So Bleak for Democrats: Joe
Biden.*
I can't say I am entirely sure that this is true. The reason why I am
not sure is because voters' thinking seems to be irrational. Why let
your opinion of Biden affect whether to vote for your local
progressive candidate?
Biden or no Biden, it's clear that the only way to get progressive
laws through Congress is to elect more progressives to Congress. The
2022 elections are an opportunity to do this — so what are we waiting
for?
Since I can't make sense of what those voters are thinking, I can't model
what would influence them. But the article could be right. |
