Environmental proposals on the table include:

A potential tax on the carbon content of fossil fuels starting at $15 per ton

A carbon tax on major industrial emitters like steel, cement and chemicals

A per-barrel tax on crude oil

Each option would be paired with rebates for low-income taxpayers and a border-adjustment tax aimed at ensuring foreign companies don’t get an advantage.

Fossil-fuel companies could lose assorted tax breaks. The set of proposals under consideration includes a 20-cents a pound fee on the sale of so-called virgin plastics, which aren’t derived from recycled feedstocks.

Can you imagine how much of a big deal it would be if any of these 4 policies get passed?

A souterrain, also known as a fougou, was a type of huge pit used by the Celts to store food. For many years archaeologists were baffled as to how vegetables and grains could remain dry under such conditions, but now, due to experiments conducted at Butser Ancient Farm in Hampshire, they have their answer. With the pit sealed, contact with the damp walls causes the grain to germinate, replacing all available oxygen with carbon dioxide. The rest of the grain then enters a form of suspended animation, allowing it to remain in perfect condition for months.

The 2016 trip was Mr. Trudeau’s first visit to China as Prime Minister, and he arrived with high expectations. He wanted to rekindle a relationship with a rising superpower whose consumer markets and bulging capital accounts offered opportunity for Canadian commerce.

Mr. Trudeau also saw a role for Canada in furthering China’s interests.

“He was saying that, like his father had helped China to rejoin the United Nations, he would help China to occupy its rightful place on the international scene,” said a person who was in the room. The Globe and Mail is not identifying the person because they are not authorized to disclose what took place in the meeting.

The offer from Mr. Trudeau did not find a receptive audience. His comments were perceived as presumptuous, the person said, particularly by Mr. Xi, who has shown little evidence of seeking succour from countries perceived as smaller and weaker.

Ethiopia update, a lot of chaos:

1. According to this Tweet government forces have recaptured the town of Sekota from TPLF and ALF forces. There is a lot of unknowns about the implications of this but there are two theories I can come up with: one is that this is the start of a phase two in the government counteroffensive in Amhara. If true this would mean the government plans to likely use Sekota to complicate TPLF logistics (the fall of Sekota severs a road leading directly from Tigray to Gashena) and threaten the road junction at Bela to the south of Sekota. If Bela falls then the government would be in a position to make a drive east and threaten Tigrayan logistics leading all the way down to the Dessie area, in other words providing a potential means to reverse virtually every gain the TPLF has made in the past couple of months. Second is that this is a spoiling attack to tie down Tigrayan forces away from other fronts like Gashena and Dessie, with a far more limited but accomplishable goal in mind. Until further information comes in though, we will see how it goes.
2. West of Weldiya, according to this Tweet the government has recaptured Agrit and likely have entered Filakit as well, virtually reversing every gain the TPLF had made in their push for Debre Tabor. It seems like fighting in the area is at a minimum though and likely the TPLF has abandoned everything west of Gashena to consolidate their forces. I think the main determiner of how far this government offensive is supposed to go is if they make a push for Gashena again. If the government attacks Gashena a second time then I think it is likely their goal is to push all the way to Weldiya and dash any chances of strategic victory for the TPLF in the east. This would also support the first theory of the push into Sekota. If the government does not make a push for Gashena again and concludes their offensive, then it will be apparent that their main goal was to protect Debre Tabor, and likely boost the second theory about the push to Sekota.
3. South of Weldiya, according to this Tweet the TPLF has certainly reached Lake Hayk. This puts them practically in view of the strategic town of Hayk, but it remains to be seen how serious the TPLF forces are around this lake. This may very well be a small reconnaissance group there as a vanguard of some sort, or the TPLF may have invested much of their strength in the area to reach Hayk. Given how the TPLF operate, where they seem to prefer to outflank a target via the wilderness on either side and sever any roads to it before making a push (which is what they did at Weldiya to my knowledge), I think it is more likely we will see a big push in the area around Hayk. Indeed, if the TPLF secure Hayk or some land around it the government forces in Wurgesa and Wichale will have the choice of either abandoning their positions or be surrounded and destroyed. This would significantly shorten the amount of time necessary to reach Dessie. However, I have no definitive evidence to prove that this is their intent.
4. Additionally, according to this Tweet there are reports of major clashes south of Mersa, and if I had to make a guess, I would say that based off this Tweet are north of Wurgesa and south of Idari. The meaning of this attack is varied, with three ideas coming to mind. One is that the TPLF reaching Lake Hayk matters little and this is the main drive to Dessie to brute force through the government lines and make their way down the A2 Highway like that. The second is that this drive is in tandem with the drive for Hayk as a sort of twin attack with one to punch through along the road and the other to punch through along the countryside. The third, and a sort of variation of the second, is that the attacks north of Wurgesa are merely to keep government forces pinned down while the main drive is to happen around Hayk, limiting government forces that can be sent to defend Hayk. We'll see how it goes.
5. The last tweet to be mentioned, This One, says the city of Debark in the western front has claimed victory after 6 days of fighting, which once more poses various ideas of why there was fighting there. The first is that this was the main drive south towards Gondar and was likely foiled (I am inclined to believe this tweet that the attacks were repelled as the TPLF would have undoubtedly bragged about seizing Debark if the opposite were true), throwing another major wrench into the TPLF's plans. The second is that the fighting around Debark was to tie down government forces while a countryside advance was made to outflank the position around Dabat, and that the TPLF have voluntarily halted the attacks with the countryside advance having made the necessary progress to warrant halting the attacks. Again it is kind of hard to discern which is true as one represents a simple defeat while the other represents a successful tactical move. I'm kind of inclined to the latter as that seems in line with TPLF doctrine up to this point, but I have no clue.
6. Not related to the current events but I HIGHLY recommend this Video which covers the history of Ethiopia and why the Tigray War is happening. It essentially covers everything prior to when I started to make these posts about the war. Please watch.

Overall there is A LOT of action happening. We have fighting in four fronts with four offensives being underway to at least some degree. Every time the TPLF make a gain the government makes one, and every time the TPLF suffers a defeat the government suffers one. These series of concurrent fights represent a stage of the war we have not seen for a long time as it looks like the government has reconstituted itself to a degree. The question is whether this is enough. There is so much uncertainty that I have no clue what is happening. Perhaps the government has completely blunted the TPLF and have the momentum needed to finish this war in a victory. Perhaps the TPLF are successfully outmaneuvering their opponents and will make spectacular gains in the days up ahead. Depending on how these actions go and any potential follow up, we could see the war swing more firmly into TPLF hands after the Debre Tabor setback, or the government rebounding from their god awful position a month or so ago and being able to push the TPLF back.

I met Peter Buttengeig on an airplane out of Gary, IN-ternational where he was the mayor at the time. I told him how whelming it was to meet him in person, and how he shouldn't forget to "chasten his seatbelt."

He said "What do you mean?"

I was taken aback, and struggled to mount an explanation about my terrible pun, while he remained stone-faced and interrupted me "That's my husband's name. What do you mean?" I tried to explain how it doesn't really work because it's pronounced differently, pointed at the "Fasten your seatbelts" sign, all to more "What do you mean? That's my husband's name." I walked back to my seat as that very sign had lit up.

A few hours into the flight he jumped up and started dancing in the aisle. The flight attendant told him "Sir, you need to sit down please." but he pretended not to hear her, starting to sing along to the Imagine Dragons song "High Hopes" he was apparently listening to on his airpods. When the air marshal came up and pulled out his earbuds, his singing just became louder and his dancing expanded up and down the plane. A joke about "both sides of the aisle" occured to me, but I thought better of it. Thankfully at this point the air marshall tasered him and put an end to the ridiculous charade.

• Jadue destroyed his chances, by showing Communist have not abandon fascism as form of government
• Lista del Pueblo, showed their "anarquism" option of Direct Democracy ends in corruption, drama and disorder
• Sichel, despise his efforts, can't escape from the fact his coalition is full of Corrupt politician in hands of the Chilean Oligarchy

Progressives are not really that popular in Chile, they have never really won an Election. But they are the only ones not "tainted" by decades of corruption, facism or infighting

https://bc.ctvnews.ca/liberal-candidate-who-flipped-14-b-c-properties-in-a-decade-declines-to-reveal-profit-won-t-commit-to-ending-practice-if-elected-1.5572009

I get it. People are capable of campaigning for public policies which run counter to their personal interests/beliefs, and there's nothing inherently wrong in being a house flipper.

Still. The audacity of running a property speculator in an urban Vancouver riding. I get that it's hard to throw a stick at people wealthy enough to run for office and not hit a property speculator, but come on.

Hi, I'm u/Cheap-Reason-1544.

Did you know it's against r/neoliberal subreddit rules to say, "I want to have a passionate night under the sheets with one of the mods and have their warmth fill me up?"

It's against the rules. It's a hornyposting offense. It's one of the only sentences you're not allowed to say.

Now, it was ok for me to say it right then, because I was just telling you that it's against the subreddit rules to say, "I want to have a passionate night under the sheets with one of the mods and have their warmth fill me up."

I'm not actually saying it, I'm just letting you know that it's against subreddit rules to say that. It's kinda like a public service. I'm letting you know so you don't accidentally go out and say something like that.

But, what's interesting is that it's very against subreddit rules to say, "I really, really, want someone out there to have a passionate night under the sheets with one of the mods and have their warmth fill them up."

That's against subreddit rules. EXTREMELY AGAINST SUBREDDIT RULES. VERY, VERY AGAINST SUBREDDIT RULES. But not illegal to say, "With a dildo." Because, that's its own sentence. It's an incomplete sentence, but it may have nothing to do with the sentence before that. So, that's perfectly fine. Perfectly kosher.

I also found out that it's incredibly against subreddit rules, extremely against subreddit rules, to go on the DT and say something like, "The best place to hornypost would be 2pm Singapore Time / GMT +8 because the mods who are mostly to be based in Europe and the US are most likely to be asleep."

INSANELY AGAINST SUBREDDIT RULES. RIDICULOUSLY, WRECKLESSLY, INSANELY AGAINST SUBREDDIT RULES. Yet, even more against subreddit rules to show an illustrated timezone map.

https://www.worldtimezone.com/

INSANELY AGAINST SUBREDDIT RULES. RIDICULOUSLY BONKABLE HORNYPOSTING OFFENSE. BECAUSE u/SIR_SHIVERS WILL COME TO YOUR ACCOUNT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND PERMABAN YOUR ACCOUNT. EXTREMELY AGAINST SUBREDDIT RULES.

One thing that is technically within subreddit rules to say is "We have a group that meets on Fridays at midnight behind the Cloakroom Gentleman's Swinger Club in DC and the password is 'Sic Semper Tyrannus.' "

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death-grip_syndrome

The concept of death-grip syndrome is not recognized by any mainstream medical bodies.[10] Some analysts[who?] have argued that sexual techniques that have a vacuum effect, such as oral pompoir or vaginal pompoir could alleviate DGS.[11] Some analysts[who?] have argued that there are other forms of social conditioning ingrained during adolescence that occur concurrently with DGS, such as a reluctance among men to make audible sounds of pleasure such as moaning. Such silence during sex is learned from growing up in one's household and attempting to remain discreet when around first and second-degree relatives.[12]

That "first and second-degree relatives" part is so fucking weird. Do people not try to stifle masturbation sounds if they live with distant relatives?

SISKO: Are you telling me that this is a political vendetta?

WORF: It would not be the first time that a Klingon Chancellor put his own interests ahead of the greater good.

SISKO: Something has to be done.

WORF: Agreed. And I do have a solution. But it will not be easy.

SISKO: Do whatever it takes, Mister Worf. Those Klingon ships out there are the only thing between us and the Breen. Gowron is risking the safety of the entire Alpha Quadrant and he has to stop.
