It's starting to look like Justin Trudeau is acting like the person the left thinks Trump is but can't prove, but we have proof.
If you are "able" to push the cart to your car, you should be "able" to return it.
But here's the next question: would you return a cart you didn't put there because it's the right thing to do, even though you didn't cause the problem and there's no personal benefit to you for doing so?

On a geological level, the best carbon capture would be animals or microorganisms that form shells out of carbonate, and let the shells sit in bodies of water.
We know from geology that there's entire mountains of carbon captured in that way and it isn't going anywhere. By contrast, a tree will grow for maybe 100 years then die and rot, returning much of its carbon to the atmosphere.
There was a period where trees stored a lot of carbon, it's called the carboniferous period and it's where most of our coal deposits come from, but it ended once fungus learned how to eat cellulose, since the trees were converted into food that was eventually released via metabolism into the air.

Mental health is at its worst level possibly ever.
Not sure why. We have the largest class of experts ever!

Mitch McConnell just announced his retirement, saying it's time for the next generation to take over.
The next generation from Mitch McConnell Is the baby boomers.

I can't help but think that apartments in high density buildings could be the lowest cost and thus have people whose rent is directly paid by the government, multi family dwellings like duplexes and quadplexes would be one step above that where working class and lower middle class families might live, and houses would be for solidly middle class people and above.
The positioning would mean that unlike the poor whose government cheques are coming until the tanks roll on the capital, the people in multi family homes could end up either moving out or not paying anymore. In many jurisdictions you could be stuck with a tenant like that for a year or more, not making a penny for the whole time.

I doubt you do family law, but I'm just imagining bringing your kids in and the client is like "fucking kids I hate kids" "ok so how do I get full custody of my kids?"
"Hello neighbor, do you know why I'm so calm all the time? I'm packing a Smith & Wesson Model S&W500, it has 5 .500 rounds in it, and I'm only gonna need one if we have trouble."
I get the same energy about Trump.
"Oh he's so bad (please win please win please win) what a monster (please win please win please win) Literally cheeto hitler himself (oh god I need this please win we're all dying here in mass layoffs)"

I can't help but read that definition and think it's an instinct meant to ensure you play with your children.
Physically playing with babies early on including some level of rough play is extremely positive for them, so the instinct to squeeze and bite without the intention to harm seems like it would facilitate that if you have a parent who intellectually has no idea how to be a parent and instead must rely solely on instinct.

I feel like just saying "dead at 99" reveals the cause of death.
Crazy that none of us knew he had Alzheimer's. He forgot to mention it.

Voting for anyone but dear leader is a threat to our democracy.
98% will vote for Biden because there won't be anyone else on the ballot, just like a proper democracy like North Korea!

Pretty neat media analysis channel. I love me a good media analysis, but often end up drowning in political cliche. This guy talks about political stuff, but it's fresh and nuanced.

There's another side of that.
Canada is I think number two on the planet for number of people with higher education. South Korea is by far #1.
And you might predict that these two countries are great places to live, and there's no real problems in either one. Look at all the educated people!
Koreans call their country "Hell Joseon" because you have to do so much just to get a basic living. The daily grind to survive is so bad, for every 100 South Koreans we are looking at having four great grandkids.
Canadians aren't much better off. Despite having the second largest land mass of any country on earth, cost of living is in the stratosphere and the only reason the population is growing is all the people the country is importing -- but even people from developing nations are starting to pack up and turn around because of the hellish conditions in the country, including cases where dozens of immigrants are sharing a single basement.
The overproduction of people in an elite class is one of the major factors in Peter Turchin's models that predict major negative world events.
Now you might legitimately say "well yeah, just imagine how bad things would be in those countries if we didn't produce all these elites!", but there's a complex interplay between elite production and other parts of the economy. For example, we are at a moment in time where the production of elites is at an all-time high, and so those elites go out into the world and they advocate for and vote for policies that benefit them. Often, those same policies are things that are downright parasitic when done at scale. And most Western countries around the world, at the turn of the 20th century government accounted for about 10% of gdp. Today in most of those same countries, it's between 40 and 60%. That isn't productive labor, it's money being taken from the productive individuals and handed to this overstuffed class of elites. As a result of having so much government, the amount of resources available for productive work goes down, meaning that the amount of stuff there is to buy goes down, and meanwhile freedom gets eroded because all of these people with jobs that don't actually do anything productive are trying to justify their existence.
As someone from our Lord fuhrer Trudeau's Canada (blessed be his name, please don't shut down my bank accounts), that is exactly what has happened here.
