Ok, but even in the Harris econ plan, there are not many proposals. Itās in giant font and largely graphs of stuff that already happened. In the 6 pg section on energy there is an intro touting oil prod., 2 pgs of graphs, 1 of stats on the IRA, and 1 nominally on proposals, but really on the IRA.
I agree that racism and sexism is probably a good chunk of it. But there are definitely people who wait until the last minute and will go to the candidateās websites to see what they think, and are just going to find a bunch of vague platitudes. āHave plansā is a pretty low bar to clear!
Itās kind of like picking a mechanic. I donāt really know anything about cars or how to evaluate whether someone else knows anything about cars. But I still want the guy working on my vehicle to be able to clearly tell me what is wrong and how heās going to fix it.
Thatās right, but the undecideds at this point are not single issue voters, or people who are really informed about any particular policy issue. They are not going to have well thought out positions, but itās reasonable for them to expect the candidates to have well thought out positions.
This is generally correct. At the same time, Harris has published little info about plans on climate, and what exists is very vague. This is a key policy domain for the young people they need to vote, and even those who canāt evaluate the merits of a plan probably still want to know that one exists.
Reading a limno paper that is, without any explanation, using Ā°C to indicate temperature, but K to indicate increments of temperature. Why would anyone do this?
This is truly wild, how misinformation is amplified. Of course the right wing doesnāt have a monopoly on such behavior, but they do seem to pursue it with especial carelessness and gusto.
Going to go ahead and gift link this piece since it includes a compendium of the ways in which the claims being made are dishonest or unfounded. wapo.st/3XzAxl3
False claims and baseless ones are politically useful, so they rocket to the social media accounts of prominent right-wing people.
Is cave limnology a thing? This is outside my area of expertise, but I just got some cool field data back on thermal gradients and have no idea where to look to read up on this. Anyone know journals or authors I should check out?
The lava fountains in this eruption in Svartsengi volcano are reaching around 90 meters high up in the air. High enough to damage drones that are flying at that altitude.
