So if someone is polluting the air my child and I breathe, and destroying the environment in which we live, and I use physical force to stop them, is that self-defense?

Because the democrats have been giving the FTC and Unions more teeth lately. And Harris is pointing towards tax hikes on Bezos. So, both Trump and Harris are bad from Bezos point of view.
I use the Tibetan Book of the Dead as a guide. For faces at the slip gates (i.e. the dweller on the threshold), recognize that they’re nothing other than your own mind. Bless them with love and compassion, and then let them go to continue on your quest.

On Oct. 9, the day before the launch, Warner Bros. Discovery contacted Alcon to request the ability to use specific images and clips from “Blade Runner 2049” for Tesla’s presentation. Alcon Co-CEO Andrew Kosove and Broderick Johnson “refused WBD’s request, objecting to their film being affiliated in any way with Tesla, Musk or any Musk-owned company,” according to the company. The lawsuit alleges that neither Warner Bros. Pictures nor any other WBD entity “has or ever had sufficient rights to allow Tesla to exploit ‘BR2049’ or any of its elements, marks or goodwill in connection with the globally livestreamed cybercab reveal event.”
They made the presentation and the day before asked for permission to use it. In another place in the article, Alcon stated that the price they charge to use their IP tends to run in the eight figure range.
I can understand Musk and Tesla doing this. But I’m really surprised a Warner Bros studio thought they could pull it off without getting sued.
This was also good.
Alcon’s suit said that in addition to “more ordinary commercial issues, there is the problematic Musk himself. Any prudent brand considering any Tesla partnership has to take Musk’s massively amplified, highly politicized, capricious and arbitrary behavior, which sometimes veers into hate speech, into account. If, as here, a company or its principals do not actually agree with Musk’s extreme political and social views, then a potential brand affiliation with Tesla is even more issue fraught.”
Gold? I don’t think any life uses it for sustenance outside of technological and sociological applications.
The article is basically about economies of scale.
Large solar farms are much cheaper to set up per kilowatt hour of electricity produced than home-based solar panels.
But large solar farms are generally owned by corporations.
So the issue isn’t solar but again capitalism. If we had a socialized or cooperative solar farm people could invest in, rather than putting panels on their homes, we would all be better off and get our solar for cheaper.
Of course, we could just socialize the electric companies. And considering the climate crisis is an emergency (hurricanes for example), it would be within the powers of the federal government in the United States to do this.
But, the fossil fuel industry would throw a fit, and we’d see somebody like President Trump get elected because campaign donations are really what tend to determine our elections.
So, the first step should be socializing the fossil fuel industry. And then smaller electric companies.
Probably not. A month isn’t long and that dose is low.
You may have slight withdrawals. Exercise, stretching, and anything people do for alcohol withdrawal can help.

Solidarity and community. Which is both getting help and offering it in return.
I attend mental health support groups and participate in online spaces dedicated to my hobby. It keeps me feeling useful as a disabled adult.
Shrink flation is a form of price gouging because it’s deceptive.
Before inflation hit I bought the same brand of chips for over a year. The company both raised the prices and reduce the size of the container.
Effectively raising the price on me twice while hiding half of the price increase.
Once I saw that they had reduced the size of the bag of chips by 20%, and had tried to price gouge me, I switched to a different brand of chips.
Some inflation is going to happen naturally and I accept that. But this was not natural inflation where corporations had to raise the prices. It was greed.
The initial price increase was enough to cover inflation. The rest went to shareholders. If the price increase had been fair, they wouldn’t have hid it behind shrinkflation.

I think whoever framed the presumption of innocence and proof beyond a reasonable doubt felt that way.
Jurors themselves are complicated. Some people are racist, some people are just hateful, some people respect authority so much that they’ll just believe whatever the district attorney says. All of these conditions can create a situation where the jury won’t reach consensus easily .
And pretty much everybody just wants to get back to brunch and taking care of their families.
I think what you are speaking to is values. What I’m talking about is emotions as they are felt in the moment and how those will affect a jury’s outcome.
Hence people are not computers.
They’re suing now. Should they have put up an armed militia?
No
People aren’t machines and don’t weigh data the way machines do.

It’s certainly feeling that way.
