Everyone in the US must realize that #Republicans will not allow #Democrats to control the federal Government again.
They passed a #Genocide #tax on every US citizen by taking vital #healthcare from the most vulnerable and giving #tax breaks to the most wealthy who DO NOT pay a fair ratio of #incometax because of itemized deductions.
Most Americans take the standard deduction but if you have money and spend money, it's possible to itemize deductions so you pay #zero income tax.

Francisco Ferreira da #ZERO:

"A União Europeia (UE) está a dizer adeus à ambição climática. Esta semana, em contraste com sinais evidentes de um clima em alteração com temperaturas recordes em toda a Europa, a Comissão Europeia apresentou, com meses de atraso, a meta climática para 2040, propondo uma redução de pelo menos 90% das emissões face a 1990. No entanto, esta meta inclui mecanismos de flexibilidade, como créditos de carbono internacionais e compensações intersectoriais, que enfraquecem a ambição necessária num momento crítico de agravamento da crise climática.

Este atraso compromete também as metais europeias para 2035 a aprovar na COP30 no Brasil no final deste ano e enfraquece a liderança global da UE ao sinalizar falta de determinação política. Estas flexibilidades inaceitáveis, pois permitem desresponsabilizar setores emissores e adiar a transição, ignorando recomendações científicas que apontavam para reduções entre 90% e 95% sem tais mecanismos. A proposta surge num contexto político adverso após as eleições europeias de 2024, com um recuo climático generalizado, tendo a Comissão optado por um compromisso frágil para evitar confrontos com governos menos ambiciosos, como os da Polónia e Hungria. Esta é uma oportunidade perdida de promover a liderança climática europeia."

When #Infinity Equals #Zero: #Pallets, #Forklifts, and the #Paradox of #Meaning

"Then there’s the odd paradox of laughter, pain, and how sometimes the deepest wounds spark the biggest laughs. I’ve seen a coworker crack up recounting a near-miss; winded, with their heart racing. A few moments later, they dissolved into tears. We guffaw at the absurdity of our own bruises, and in that release, pain feels oddly lighter. Even the silliest joke can wound deeper than an insult, by exposing the fragile hope we cling to. And this works in both directions; laughing to keep from sobbing, crying at the memory of a punch line. We long to touch the raw edges of what it means to be #alive

Why a new #zero-carbon #UK #steel plant offers hope and a headache | Steel industry | The Guardian

The problem with making steel using a #BlastFurnace is that it requires very high temperatures and #CokingCoal to #reduce the #Oxygen content as it is made to bond to #Carbon instead. This produces #CarbonMonoxide and then #CarbonDioxide.

One might learn to do some useful things on the #Moon…with repeatedly useful return trip proximities and learning applied to bigger things later. Without acquiring those skills #Mars will be just a novel place to die on much longer and more expensive intervals and with #Zero payoff
