New York’s Fat Beach Day gives plus-size people a space to be themselves
  • I think we are in many ways talking past each other. Of course it's hard. Of course there are tons of things that make the right choices more difficult. Of people deserve support in making the right decisions. Of course making major societal changes to address the risk factors for obesity is a noble goal.

    Movements like this are just cheering people on while they put a gun in their mouth, and it's fucking disgusting.

  • New York’s Fat Beach Day gives plus-size people a space to be themselves
  • Just because something is harder to do, doesn't mean not doing it is okay. Overeating when overweight is abuse, full stop.

    There are people that have a harder time quitting smoking, there are people that struggle not to cut themselves.

    Nobody should look at an 8 year old with a cigarette and say "it's probably just genetic." Nobody should look at a junkie passed out in an alley and say "yasss, they're just living their truth!" Nobody should be incensed when they go a hospital complaining about abdominal pain and the doctor recommends they remove a piece of rebar they fell on.

  • Justice for our boy
  • But he COMPLETED the law! Which means I can ignore all the old law that I find inconvenient. But he didn't REPLACE the law, which means I can still criticize anything I think is yucky.

  • Biden Administration Tightens Mileage Standards to Buoy E.V.s | The new rule requires automakers to achieve an average of 65 miles per gallon across all models by 2031.
  • I think that would leave too many loopholes open. I think the most effective path would be to:

    Schedule a progressive increase in fuel prices: End subsidies on fossil fuels Implement a tax that reflects the environmental damage caused by fossil fuel use. Add on a tax that provides remediation of historical fossil fuel damages.

    Take that schedule, add it to the purchase and maintenance costs of a vehicle, and require reporting this total cost of ownership as the most prominent figure in all advertising.

  • I think you're wrong about the averaging rules... This appears to be an update to the CAFE targets which average based on unit quantity across all cars and all light trucks you manufacture. You can't manufacture 10 one-off "hypermiler" sku's to offset your millions of cars.

    That said, CAFE is still a worthless law that has ruined the American automobile market in more ways than one, and this policy update will likely do almost nothing to improve emissions.

  • They were so close...

    Why would the National Railroad Museum want to dilute its mission by allowing a satanic group a display in its Christmas Festival of Trees?
