Repubs get a +10 bonus for dirty tricks, so any Dem lovers better be out there hustling up some more votes.

Yep. This hardship has been coming at us for over 100years and, given the choice, most people will choose to have some faceless 'other' bear the problem than to share the hardship with the rest of the world. The climate crisis is real and this is just the tip of the mass migrations that will want to occur. If we don't let them in, soon they will stop asking permission.

Perhaps, with enough propaganda, we could get them so turned back on themselves and they will be too weak to attack us before they realize their true enemy. Western-style politics has proven it a potentially viable strategy.

The right-wing promises you may be burdened, but others will be more burdened to make you feel like you are not the bottom. The left doesn't understand, or is unwilling to accept, the emotional deficiency of people like the right.

Must be nice to operate a business on the bleeding edge where there are no effective requirements or regulations... My, albeit limited, understanding of how these things work is that sometimes no rules are made unless legal challenges like this lawsuit are made. In that way, win or lose, I think it is important to proceed in order to provide definition to a new industry (assuming a lot about functioning legal and legislative systems, lack of corruption, blah blah.. bunch of stuff that doesn't actually exist, etc.).

It’s literally the same issue. Changing climate is going to force mass migrations. Don’t like brown people? Maybe do everything you can to make sure their countries of origin remain liveable and prosperous. I’m guessing many would rather that then coming to some xenophobic land of full of a-holes in order to carve out some semblance of a future for their families.

Or they’d like countries that have a reserve be forced to abandon that supply and buy fresh stock.

My completely uneducated guess would be some sort of test piece for new smiths. Or a Thneed.

I think lead-brain is set to be replaced with covid-brain as the studies seem to be starting to emerge linking covid infections with cognitive impairments, with multiple infections having a cumulative effect. It is very early still, so hopefully studies prove this wrong, or I am wrong in my interpretation, or maybe the type of impairment will be different enough.

No. Make more. Flood the market. Pay them reasonably good but fix their work-life balance by having more. Asking for more money is the unimaginative response that people do whenever something is wrong - doctors seem to have plenty of money, so it is probably something else that is wrong.

Perhaps make deals to train more, and send people to train, in less expensive foreign markets rather than depleting those markets of their much needed doctors by luring them to Canada. People should have the right to move to a different country but blatant brain drain tactics have always seemed morally dubious to me.

Yeah. Totally worth the $30 mill cut from the wild fire prevention services since 2018 (~25% of the budget). And the $350 mill cut off the wildfire contingency fund (~75% of previous budget). Get used to the smoke everyone.
