It isn’t too late now. Apparently AI is a good target - eating a world’s supply of electricity to further enrich the billionaires while continuing to muddy the science of climate change. Wish people were as upset about that as they are about their porn being restricted.

We did manage to change some things for the better - acid rain, ozone depletion, lead in everything. However with conflicting information and some corporations doing everything they can to muddy the consensus, it is hard to do the right thing. It is especially difficult if for years you think you’ve been doing the right thing and find out it was all fake - recycling.

Just a guess but maybe if they aren’t government backed scholarships, Ireland has no way of verifying them. What happens if Ireland helps the students get to Ireland and it turns out there isn’t any real money? Now Ireland has to deport the students, which they won’t be able to, so they will then have to cover the full amount of the bogus scholarships to pay for the students who otherwise can’t afford to be there.

That is what the Billionaire’s in US are aiming for. That is why they are dismantling all the government systems so that those tax monies are directly funnelled to them for no real services rendered.

She probably thought it was toss up to be murdered immediately and quickly or suffer a slow death by daily anti-women injustices. She was dead anyway for simply having a brain as well as a vagina.

Bet someone chimes in with “but the new one is better because it uses less energy”. I’m too lazy to figure the math on that but I can’t imagine that the 20% more energy usage of my old machine is greater than the energy cost of manufacturing, shipping, extra repairs (parts, transportation) that the new “better” machines need on 1yr to 18month cycle of fixing or outright replacing.

Personally, as a Canadian, I’d rather never have anything to do with, or buy anything from, the US again. Yes it will hurt in the short term however I think Canada’s best future involves acting as if the US only exists as a threat - Russia, North Korea & Iran all rolled into one.

And now everyone knows how deep they have to bury their facilities so US bombs can’t get them. The cycle continues.

They are…billionaires. That is the common denominator of horrible people. They think that because they are rich beyond measure that their opinions should rule the world. The world would be a much much better place if we were rid of the pestilence of the billionaire class and maybe the ‘$100s of millions’ class. No one gets to being a billionaire by being completely honest, law abiding, fair, moral and ethical. Rules must be ignored in the quest for superlative riches. Those rules are only for those who haven’t become rich enough to ignore them. Even if they seem like benign benefactors, scratch the surface and you will find they are, without exception, evil.

Why would an international student want come to the US when they could be deported or imprisoned any day? Or if they leave the country for a trip might not be allowed back in to finish their degree?
