Both. The government in Venezuela was in pretty bad shape before the coup. And the coup likely made things worse

Yes. And it has a total blockade on oil shipments

Because there is research showing that it impacts rodent populations, and rodents spread the virus .

It’s not the only thing, but a warmer world increased the odds.

Sadly no hoax.

Not an unexpected outcome, but it’s notably worse than with classic casino gambling because of the always-available model those firms have.

I hope this means they’re able to reverse a bunch of the press consolidation and constitutional changes that kept Orbán in power for so long, and change the constitution so that no party in power can so easily do what Fidesz did.

A big chunk of the US population is quite literate in a language other than English. Another big chunk never got appropriate instruction for learning when you have dyslexia

A writer at the NYT tries that about once a year. Here was this year’s

The editors then give the article poor placement so few people see it.

They can say it, but only once in a while, and it doesn’t get prominent placement on the NYT website, so few people hear about it.

The NYT buries articles like this using non-prominent placement. Try finding it on their website without using the search tool

The switch won’t be instant though. There will be a lot more suffering from this kind of unplanned shift than there would have been from the kind of planned one environmentalists have been advocating for

Trump’s Greenland thing is a multi-year obsession, not a one-off

It’s not quite as bad as his obsession with attacking Iran, which goes back into the 1980s, but it’s long-lasting enough that it’s not safe to count on it just going away.

There’s a lot of evidence that it has not moved elsewhere. Let’s look at New York City for example: reducing car traffic inside the zone cut pollution outside the zone by reducing traffic there too

There are very narrow examples where what you describe isn’t impossible, but they tend to involve all-coal electric supply combined with first-generation electric vehicles. Eg: West Virginia 20 years ago.

Just that they weren’t deployed in a way that prevents a pilot who knows where the mines are from avoiding them. In the 1980s, tankers regularly transited despite a risk of mines.

Still makes a lot of sense to me that they’d try to deploy at least some mines; needing an Iranian pilot to get through the strait would provide one more advantage.

Land mines are still getting widely used in Ukraine despite there now being drones. Why is this any different?

It still makes a lot of sense for them; a set of mines which Iran knows the location of would be pretty dramatically to their advantage, just as it did in the 1980s.
