If they really cared about children and the most vulnerable they'd be taking much firmer action about car pollution, especially near schools and hospitals

Thank you - that's a really useful answer. I'll check them out

It feels like Twitter did 12 years ago - in my experience it's a really engaged place with high-quality conversations. It really highlights how far Twitter has fallen, and after the last couple of years on Twitter I had to re-learn how to have civil conversations with people who are acting in good faith, because I'd grown so unused to that

Any vaguely recent car is constantly reporting its location back to its manufacturer.

The simple checker tools cost almost nothing and I'd recommend getting one. But if you have to use a ruler here's how to do it properly

Sure, appetite drops a bit in that specific person, but this still doesn't do anything to motivate the big food industry to change its ways - they can assume that specific person will still eat their products, and can carry on selling ultra-processed food to everyone else

Isn't the dystopian bit of this the scary capitalism of it? This approach allows the food industry to continue selling people crap that is making them unhealthy rather than reforming their business model, and it's doing this by handing a massive amount of money to the pharma industry. This is exactly the solution I'd want if I were a wealthy investor with money in lots of vast global businesses, and for me that's the dystopian bit - the way it's all about handing money to The Man to continue unhealthy lives rather than, y'know, fix anything a bit

I'm guessing that's Venus
