“The greenest car isn’t a new electric vehicle; it’s the one you don’t replace.” Trump’s tariffs may reduce consumption, promote re-use.

Help Denmark buy California. Or at least get the administration to request an invitation before planning a “cultural trip” to Greenland. https://t.co/cE8gKtbjKU

Let Denmark buy California.

Free speech only applies to Trump allies.

You cannot repeal the first amendment by tweet. I know this because I watched Schoolhouse Rock.

Go for it. DC has tried to restrict gun ownership and use many times only to be stopped by Congress members captured by the NRA.

So this is what the Trump/Musk team means by free speech and no censorship?

"The revolutionaries' (DOGE)'s objective" likened to the Chinese Cultural Revolution, post-communist transitions in Eastern Europe.

[Branko Milanovic @BrankoMilan]

"The revolutionaries’ objective is to take control of the apparatus of the state which under the specific US conditions means the personnel purge (as it did mean during the Chinese Cultural Revolution or the post-Communist transitions in Eastern Europe). That objective has nothing to do with the existence or not of a Turkish-like “deep state” or political partisanship. It has to do with power."

They want free speech for Europe but not for the US if it criticizes DOGE.

I just canceled my subscription to the Washington Post. If Beaos wants to hedge his bets in case Trump wins I can find my news elsewhere. For The Post, the wrong choice at the worst possible time https://t.co/XZNHu1VWsy

Voluntary efforts by some responsible companies won’t cut it. Governments need to legislate environmental and social rules for all companies. ESG is dead. Long live ESG https://t.co/aHT1vbCMwz via @ft

Only 63 cases of successful climate policies (out of 1500 tested) actually reduced emissions. The key characteristic of these successful cases is the inclusion of tax and price incentives in well-designed policy mixes. https://t.co/UwFmcBtKx5

Amazing; in the US 60% of food waste goes to landfills.
Korea banned food scraps from landfills and mandated that residents separate food waste from their trash and recycling.
South Korea recycles 98% of its food waste. What can it teach the world? https://t.co/BLMe81uGeh
