Reply to comment by lolzomg123 in Russian President Vladimir Putin unwittingly accelerated the European Union’s green transition with his war in Ukraine, with the 27-nation bloc reducing its dependency on Russian fossil fuels and increasing its renewable energy use over the past year, the EU’s climate czar said Tuesday. by MrGuttFeeling

I mean Star trek didn't happen without a borderline society ending global war so I guess par for the course here?

It’s like Killface accidentally solving global warming. Giant world ending rockets can be used for good!

Reply to New Hampshire House passes cannabis legalization bill that’s sponsored by top Republican and Democratic lawmakers in a rare showing of bipartisan collaboration by OregonTripleBeam

Let me guess: People with prior marijuana convictions won't be given priority to be owners/operators, there will be limited licenses to get, they'll cost too much for 95% of average americans to afford without a loan, which they can't get from a bank due to the fact growing/selling cannabis is still a federal crime. I bet they even got rid of any chance for people to do home growing, so that people are forced to buy it from the dispensaries.

>A separate legalization that’s still being considered, HB 544, sponsored by Rep. Daniel Eaton (D), would create a system where the recreational marijuana market would consist of government-run stores, with the Liquor Commission tasked with regulating and administering the “cultivation, manufacture, testing, and retail sale of cannabis statewide.”

I'm sure the rich friends of the lawmakers are very happy about this news, it's hard to be optimistic when it's this obvious. Even Colorado being a leader in cannabis decriminalization and legalization, doesn't have protections for employees, so you'll still be drug tested for cannabis there. At least NH did the right thing and provided protections to cannabis users to prevent that from happening there. Federal Legalization is the only solution to the problem were everyone gets a fair chance.

Ukraine's numbers might be high (145 k dead russians) but I don't think they are that far off. The battlefield is filled with dead russians and they are being sent in wave after wave wothout protection and proper equipment.

And to think the west was led to believe Putin was some 4-D KGB spy master.

Step 1) invade neighbor

Step 2) wonder why people chose to group together for protection.

Step 3) ....

Step 4) Profit?

An absolute drooling idiot if he could not foresee this future. How the Russian people put up with Putin the Pathetic is beyond me.

I live in NH. I'm all about this passing. The battle is still uphill. We have a Senate to get things through and a governor who is aspiring to a GOP POTUS run either in 24 or 28 and has been vocally opposed to and openly said he would veto any bill like this more than once. We need a veto proof majority to beat the Governor on this.

If you live in NH, talk to your representatives regardless of party, this crosses lines and we don't have many issues that do. If they want to remain in their positions for another election, tell them to vote for this or lose a vote to anyone qualified to replace them.

If Biden and Dems want the youth vote in '24, making federal legalisation an election promise is a good way IMO. He can already show progress on taxation, climate, infrastructure, etc. (Yes, before you start, I know none of those things are done or perfect, but progress is always the point and they represent large steps.)
