In what is arguably the World's Best News, it looks like India is going to spend much less time in the "fossil fuel detour" than the US or China. It is moving much more directly to clean electrification.

To reject the US as a fundamentally American country with a deep shared history and commonality with the rest of the Americas, including that Spanish has long been our de facto national second language, is on a deep level anti-American. It's hating actual American culture and history and tradition.

This whole discourse is a rejection of adulthood & its discontents, a special pleading for men to be exempted from some unpleasantries like: * No one is entitled to sex. * It's very common for people not to get what they want. Women are expected to put up with the above & it's not a crisis, ever.
