Then we chuck it in that mountain we carved out.

Yes. They’re both incredibly efficient.

You see, at some point you need a shield around the reactor to actually absorb all the high energy particles released, and turn that energy into heat.

So we have to replace a few tons of shielding that’s lightly radioactive every 2-6 years. That’s literally a vehicle’s worth of waste to power tens of thousands of homes.

Because retaliation on behalf of domestic businesses is something Europe freaking invented.

See you get it!

No worries. I thought it was fun.

We’ve already paid for it though. That’s why we built Yucca Mountain.

Also nuclear fusion has essentially zero waste.

Pay no attention to the Hezbollah operated tunnel system near the compounds lookout tower.

Is the EU just going to bet that none of its companies ever have to do business outside of the EU?

Legend.

The whole point is to prevent dangerous individuals from using these loopholes to buy guns.

Dangerous individuals largely aren’t using this loophole to buy guns. That’s part of the problem.

The only gun control that might have a chance at stopping gun crime is a total civilian ban and that requires an Amendment.

According to Pew and APMRL, 58% of Americans want stricter gun laws, and nearly everyone—86%—supports universal background checks. 86%. Not exactly a fringe opinion, is it?

They hyper majority of gun sales have background checks involved in them. Universal background checks would either ban the private sale of guns (which SCOTUS would likely overturn) or open up the background check system to private citizens (which will almost certainly be abused from a computer security perspective & will lead to people realizing just how poor the system is).

The point isn’t that 80% don’t support gun control, it’s that each thing on the wishlist isn’t widely popular. And even if the actions would lead to a landslide, Americans wouldn’t be happy about it.

Especially when you look at the US’s largest metropolitan areas like New York and Chicago that’s really the only knob that hasn’t been turned. It’s defacto illegal to own a gun in those areas for the common man or woman.

No polling says that. There’s like 50-60% support for “more strict” gun control.

70% opposition for a Handgun ban. And only 20% support for an outright repeal to the 2nd Amendment.

So even if the above gathers an 80% supermajority it won’t be able to maintain it if it does thing that are widely unsupported.

80% of Americans don’t support gun control. American Political parties are coalitions among themselves. Even if Ds won by 20 points they won’t have the support to do things like implement nationalized healthcare or overturning the 2nd Amendment.

Wonder what’s changed, hmm?

Hopefully general scientific knowledge.

Oh ya, it’s time for Hot Xi Summer.

Ya force them to use unguided artillery shells! /s
