The unnamed alliance of sovereign Islamic states joining Isreal gets bigger almost weekly.
This is bad news for Iran and Russia.

I suspect the military standing by to deliver the first vetted vaccine is theater.

100 million doses? I don't know how many doses in a cubic foot or cubic meter but
Fed Ex could likely do the job, or those Piggily Wiggily trucks like in Close Encounters.*

Peace is breaking out all over because the military counter-coup against the corrupted Washington establishment and their 16-year plan is beginning to bear results. Shadilay.

I couldn't agree more. I try to poke around in the corners of the box we're in.

I really appreciated Manufacturing Consent, but Chomsky seems less compelling lately.

Don't know Richard Wolff but Wikipedia says:
Quote:
In July 2015, Wolff endorsed Massachusetts physician and Green Party candidate Jill Stein for President.
So did I! But I voted for Jill Stein because I knew who was going to win and I didn't want people slagging me for aiding and abetting. Didn't help. One guy accused me of personally causing the Hill-gal to lose because I threw away my vote.

As for mixed bag/right-libertarian, maybe... I haven't taken the Moral Compass test because I think it's a data mining ploy. In my own mind I'm center-center.

If you depend on everything to be brought to you by tractor trailer truck, you ain't green.

Another industry ripe for Tesla's disruption.

I think it would be great to have electrics take over a chunk of the delivery industry.
What is starting to happen is natural gas intake fumigation on existing diesels. They run way cleaner, are more efficient, it even extends oil changes if the truck can find and run natural gas all the time.

I'm for 1U shipping containers in a rectangular 'hyperloop' pneumatic tubes. Left and right turns sharper than grade changes.

And soup-can sized tubes all over apartment buildings like in City of Lost Children. Best pic I can find:

It just didn't become so widespread in my country because until 2005 most Diesel-powered vehicles had mechanically-governed engines, yet for vehicles manufactured from '97 onward are mandated to have an electronically-controlled conversion kit.

It would make more sense than DEF.

DEF is just about pointless on long haul trucks.
Only about 1% if even that much area of the US has NOx pollution problems.
