Hello new followers!
Quick intro: currently working in (mostly) general science education, but prior to that focused more on fire, ecosystems & earth observation (all of which I remain interested in).
Also into sustainability, especially of transport, which inevitably leads to broader questions...

Isaac Herzog, special guest of the Australian government this week, is in the Epstein files.
It appears he went to the pedo rape torture island, alongside Ehud Barak, former Israeli PM, in 2014, long after Epstein’s conviction and outing as a predator.

The real reason is because it makes the car companies more money. They tried to make the claim that they made us all safer but they just kept getting bigger along with our trucks which actually just made everything more dangerous while also more expensive. In the end it’s always about the money.
With the world heating up [and more pedestrians being killed], why are more SUVs being sold?
“It’s the industry that has driven the demand through huge marketing & advertising campaigns in recent years. SUVs offered the industry a simple way of charging more for a vehicle that does the same thing.”
