  • When State drug labs are run by the state police running tests for police you will get that. For instance any amount of THC in the blood can get an impaired driving charge. Unless it is a legalized state in which case it minuscule tiny amount that could have resulted from smoking 14 week days ago is still enough. With the smallest amounts, one nanogram per milliliter, false positives are as high as 40%, but when they go into court they don’t say that. They make it sound like this is what it is science. We could speak of a dozen different types of junk science they have been involved in as well. Like hair analysis.




  • There is though, the real assets that have value, the time value of future earnings from their assets minus a risk premium.

    Market value is what is a worthless number in most all contexts outside of hostile takeovers and arbitrage plays on valuations by parasitical private equity and hedge funds.

    For instance, tesla owns properties, machines, can turn out so many cars for how much with whatever risk of not.

    Meaning they might have an intrinsic value of 10 billion, probavly less now with the whole nazi thing.

    Market cap of a trillion for tesla is meaningless, that money does not exist, realizing actual money from the stock progressively lowers the value.


  • Science is already well perverted by trade groups hiring organizations to commission studies to start backwards from it is safe to put out flawed conclusions lobbyists get policy makers to accept as valid and allow big money their practices.

    Worse though it will become the system has been fundamentally broken since before most of us were born. Pfas, atrazine, roundup, a million other poisons are dumped and used systematically with the science of these cynical researchers to wave around.

    It is all getting worse already. Watersheds are near all sullied to some degree at this point, many of which are on centuries long water cycles, there is no unpoisoning many, just as water is becoming scarcer and overused more by monied interests.






  • 30 some states have votor sponsored ballot initiatives, and most of those ammend state constitutions so it takes supermajorities of often 3/4 of state lawmakers to change. Some red ones increased pass threshold to 60 pc though.

    But all those states need ranked choice voting, and giving the drawing of districts to an independant body to ungerrymander. Also voting rights laws. Aforementioned states increasing pass threshold on referendums and making it harder to get on ballot with signatures could themselves be changed back with a referendum.

    Even red states these issues play. There are other ways polits can jam these up though, election commissions that approve initiative after signature verification have been known to improperly throw out them for wording, as michigan’s did on mj legalization 2x before one got through. Or forbidding wolf hunt by vote lawmakers just passed it again coupled with a budget component making it un referendumable.





  • Plastic ish materials can be made from plants like hemp, stronger and non toxic depending on how they are made.

    Good luck switching over, barriers to entry, an economy of scale needed to compete with plastic, and oil bros using the government to stymie competition would all prevent large scale switch over.

    90 pc of all plastic ever made had been made in the last ten years it was reported years back, and huge new manufacturies were under construction. Which since everything was already plastic makes one wonder what all new they are doing with this increasing supply?

    One thing is for certain, landfill it. Recycling plastic does not work, it releases chemicals, and was a psy op of oil companies to begin with to deflect blame.
