The EU is going to try to force Ireland's hand to implement the hated hate speech bill that public opinion got binned last year. I know this is a US politics general, but I (perhaps selfishly) hope the US exerts pressure to make the EU and Irish government back off.

I'm not fond of how people have tried to make up new crimes; "hate speech"/"hate crime" and it's really harassment/assault but with a bad motive (whatever that means)

Should Zohran Mamdani win the mayoral election in New York City, he will do to it what Sadiq Khan did to London but worse.

Now it's time for the negotiating table, going to be interesting

Doubt it.

Netanyahu has serious problems at home. Without a war distraction he's cooked.

Yes. The federal government already does that

Mhm, that was part of my point, and it demonstrates how little him and his demsoc friends know about economics
>inb4 he lied through his teeth and doesn't do anything to help the city

Doesn't it make more sense to subsidize the agricultural industry to lower prices?

We already do, a fucking lot. There's an ethanol plant near me that used to run 24/7 making fuel ethanol for cars. The government stopped subsidizing corn for fuel, so they pivoted to drinkable alcohol.

The corn for fuel subsidies were based on ethanol being more "carbon neutral" to burn compared to gasoline, but conveniently the people pushing for ethanol forgot that corn is harvested with gallons of dirty farm diesel, oh and ethanol is corrosive to pipes so it has to be trucked everywhere, burning more dirty diesel.

Subsidies are fine, but usually end up being the most retarded possible outcome.

Hate speak is fake and NEVER let your government propagandize you into believing it is. Speech is speech. You call someone a nigger, or other ethnic slur, ok. I guess they can cry. You haven't done anything the state should "do" anything about.

They backed off after the public raised hell about it and Musk stepped in. I'm just hoping maybe Vance or Trump can do something about it, because I don't want my country becoming like the UK where police show up at my door for shitposting online.

So does Mamdani actually have a plan for the city or is everything he's saying just retarded twitter leftist tier proposals? Because that's what this looks like.

@CallmeCicada how would you feel if Stephen Colbert's staff found out about Watamelon and did something like the above with it?

Trump/Massie/Tucker/Elon pretend fights are so cute.

The worst thing they ever call each other is "bum", no one is ever visibly upset, and it's over in a half an hour.

It's never a good idea to divert your food supply to fuel recreational vehicles.

Oh, he has a plan. I've never heard of him, but his name makes it apparent. The plan is to import as many jeets as he possibly can, and shove them into every position of authority he possibly can.

the pipe part sounds like bullshit to me. ethanol is pretty easy and forgiving to work with, the only thing you need to worry about is its flammability. i don't see how or why it would be a problem for pipelines.

ethanol fuel from corn is a pretty neat concept, so far it's the most successful of all the "make cars run on renewables" ideas people have come up with. it's not economically viable as long as oil is as abundant as it is, but especially for countries with no local oil reserves of their own it can contribute to decreasing their reliance on imports which is also good.
but for america in particular it seems kinda pointless, with how abundant the local oil and gas reserves are.
