    It did, just no soil that exists today is older that the Cenozoic period. The same Wiki says there are fossilized soil samples from as far back as the Archean period.

    "I would be shocked if Harris adopted even one of these proposals..." Yeah, because the majority of these all bad faith. GTFO with this fantasy land nonsense. Surprised one of your planks isn't "Bring back dragons." or "Grant 3 wishes."

    I will give you #2, 5, and 6 though. They at least, seem somewhat rational/achievable. #5 isn't really enforceable though. You'll always have outside money influence elections. Why tie up healthcare with union representation and living wage? Make them separate issues.

    This is mostly just fantasy land garbage that just shows you don't know anything about running a modern nation, or how politics work. If this really is Claudia's platform, well... she shouldn't be running anything larger than a supermarket.

    A. This doesn't look real.

    B. This layer stays with the plane as it pushes subsonic air into supersonic. So it is the moment, that particular space of air goes supersonic, not the jet itself.

    Hah, I love seeing morons bitch about him.

    If you think Chick Todd was bad, then you are pretty much a fucking idiot.

    "Oooh, he didn't zing the other guy I hate, he MUST be a hack."

    But, some people just love to hate. Usually I call them conservatives. But that's clearly not the case here lol.

    The guy tried to keep the dialogue open and not inflammatory, but sometimes that means letting the other guy says his piece, even if it is bullshit. It's up to you, as the viewer, to make the judgement call, not the host. Unless you need to be spoonfed opinions too.

  • Hey, remember that time the US gassed a country with Agent Orange? [CW: Horrific War Crime. Poison, child disfigurement, ecocide]

    It wasn't the agent orange that was the issue. (Though that point is arguable.) But shitty industrial controls allowed dioxin to form during the manufacturing process. Dioxin was not a necessary component for agent orange to work as a defoliant, but it was something along the lines that if one part of the process was allowed to heat up too much, then Dioxin would form. Monsanto (yes, that Monsanto) reported it to the government and the military, but they all agreed to keep it a secret.

    It was used more than just Vietnam too. Dioxin contaminated agent orange was used in North America as well by fire fighters clearing foliage for fire breaks.

    Dioxin is one of the most toxic substances to humans known.

    I've been pretty happy with my United Chase card. I travel a lot, for work, though, so it adds up.
