Erik Buell tried that but wasn’t competitive vs the Japanese brands and HDs heart wasn’t in it.

The high levels of mercury and other heavy metals doesn’t dissuade you from eating the meat?

It does. I eat small portions, rarely. My son has fortunately not expressed any interest in eating it, and I won't encourage him to.

Corn won’t fail, they’ll get 2 planting seasons like they do in Texas atm.

DWs recent doc showed fish thriving around offshore farms and high success rates of preventing bird strikes by painting the blades.

So much info here that's bodybuilder driven and counter to S&C that works with actual athletes.

Actual athletes are training for a specific goal. If you're a swimmer/runner/pole vaulter/whatever you may want a different program to focus on things that improve your performance in that discipline.

Most people who go to the gym just want to be in shape, and for that goal the author is right - assuming "getting in shape" to you means developing a fit and capable body. He's also right that a lot of people misguidedly waste a lot of time on unnecessarily complex routines that don't even work that well, and spend way too much money and effort on supplements.

I’ve biked to work in -15C. Get studded tires.

The vast majority of the population is simply not going to do that if they bike at all.

See what happens in other countries. Are they just tougher?

Money. Planting trees doesn’t pay like some absurd tech idea to vacuum it up and bond/compress it.

The question is increasingly becoming “where?”. Every place seems to be moving in this direction.

Not Ireland -- Ireland so far has been immune to any global veering to the right. There are efforts though -- just not successful.

Probably South American somewhere.

New Zealand.

They're seeing their own shift to the right as well. https://theasialive.com/how-progressive-new-zealand-shifted-...

They elected a right-wing government, but it's pretty run of the mill, not the kind of crazy we're seeing in US and many places in Europe lately.
