Liquid democracy uses blockchain to fix politics, and now you can vote for it

Yes!
Great idea. Right now, our political system is a proxy system…proxy by Dollar. The more dollars, the stronger the proxy vote…so we all lose.
In THIS scenario, you can give your proxy to an actual person, and it’s block chain based, allowing those proxies to be easily aggregated up to become true coalitions of voters…one vote per each.
#LiquidDemocracy I even like the name.

Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School was surrounded by cowering “good guys with guns”

Not just one, but FOUR armed Sheriffs cowered outside while one shooter killed 17. Literally EVERY “good guy with a gun” did NOTHING, while unarmed students and teachers gave their lives in defense of their friends and peers.
These cops don’t deserve their badges.
They don’t deserve your pity or respect.
They should be fired. They never should have been hired.
They should feel shame. Lots of shame.
Deep shame. For a very, very, long time.

Oh good, e-cigarette vapor contains toxic metals, too

I don’t vape. And I’m super glad I quit smoking long ago…back before they started feeding us all the lies about how e-cigarettes were so much safer than real tobacco. All the latest research says: They aren’t.
Time to quit for realz yo. Did you REALLY think #BigTobacco was telling you straight? They lie about everything…always have. No reason to expect they’ll suddenly become a beacon of truth. No reason at all.

Acid oceans will dissolve coral reef sands within decades

More good news for our oceans. Not only are the reefs dying, but they’re gonna dissolve as well…that’s not good news for the primary source of food energy in our oceans. Not good news at all.
#reefs #oceans #acid one of these things just doesn’t belong.

‘Beast from the East’ to plunge UK, rest of Europe into historic deep freeze

It’s way too warm here in New England for this time of year…BUT I’m glad I’m not in OLD England, you know? Or Europe. Or especially glad I’m not in Siberia, thanks very much.
If we MUST have #ClimateChange, I’ll take mine with WARMING please…if I have a choice that is.
#NotComplaining (for now)
