Love the reporting, but the writing isn’t good.
Grower of grapes, maker of wine, regenerator of soil, writer of the gaps between the formal and informal rules of life. Politics tragic. #wine #regenerative

And absolutely no one is talking about 1) addressing the “current load” that started it and 2) the CO2 emitted by the bloom. The nutrients could be managed with better / different farming. Climate change, not so much.

This Iranian link to synagogue firebombings boosted the Israeli cause in Australia. Harming Iran, Palestine supporters and organised crime while boosting anti-semitism efforts and awareness within Australia is an outcome even Mossad would be proud of having dreamed up.

Separation / divergence vs conformity is the essence of American history since the Puritans. Read Perry Miller’s Errand into the Wilderness (from 1956!). Techbros contempt for the arts is their fear of being found out and exposed. They are chumps protecting a lead with the nickel defense.

Make the rebate into a deductible credit that can only be used for renewable capital goods - batteries, PV, EV, wind, etc. As their emissions reduce , the rebate slowly disappears. No effect on profits, big effect on renewables investments and carbon footprints.

Guessing it is how they were raised as in other abuse pathologies. But, at the core of it, is entitlement / insecurity of men that needs addressing.

Quick poll. Which MAGA singer should sing Gloria Gaynor in at the Kennedy Center awards? (female MAGA singers are unicorns) - Kanye - Kid Rock - Jason Aldean - Billy Ray Cyrus - Kodak Black Pretty sure this is an elaborate grift to get Trump basking in I Will Survive video glory.

They could / should change diesel rebate into a credit that can only be accessed for renewable capital goods. Investment boom in heavy duty battery powered vehicles will boom, decreases in diesel emission s would accelerate rapidly.

They can always choose to split into five states and get 10 senators if they wish to under the terms of their annexation. Won’t help in the House but would change the Senate for a long time. From memory, they can achieve this with a vote of the legislature. Oh, wait. They’d need quorum!
