Not forgotten. Intentionality burried. The individuals and unit were not recognized until a ddcade later in 2002.
That said, I can understand the the rationale behind trying to obfuscate it. Explaining why peacekeepers are killing people on the heels of the Somolia affair is a tough go.
[ Principled in our commitment to fundamental values: sovereignty and territorial integrity, the prohibition of the use of force except when consistent with the UN Charter, and respect for human rights
So here’s the thing. The USA has been using the events of 11/09/2001 as a casus belli liberally since the event. International law has still not caught up to this decision, so they continue to work in this neat little grey area.
Is it right? Nope.
Is it bullshit that a security council member changed International Law unilaterally? Yup.
Is it legal? So far, yes.
Just make a new PAL class that let’s you keep this list of weapons. But also requires you to be on the supplementary reserve list.
Supplementary reserve numbers and the gun buyback issues resolved in a single pen stroke.
Removing the 57% of transportation emissions from individualized transit is more important than the <2% from public transit.
Not that we can’t do both, just where priorities and performance measures should lie.
I would personally argue changing modes of transit are very much a local leader problem. Since they decide land use policies, transportation priorities, and many other things that can improve or degrade the transportation options available to people.
I’m obviously biased with my own political reality, but a city council can do more for modal share than a federal decree. And it’s obviously not a zero sum game. We can replace fleets woth electric busses AND build bike lanes.
I’m not saying electrifying busses isn’t good. It definitely is. Especially for local air quality. But as a priority, it’s pretty low down.
Yes. But even better for the kids would be to not breath the fumes from the 20% emissions coming from passenger vehicles and the 37% from non-passenger work vehicle family passenger vehicles (credit to Rollie Williams for that term)
I think we’re saying the same thing with a different strategy.
Such to say, I’d prioritize eliminating all the non-passenger work vehicle passenger family vehicles than reduce bus fuel emissions. That might mean pumping out more “dirty” busses for an overall net positive in the short term.
With transportation accounting for roughly 28 percent of the nation’s greenhouse gas emissions, transit agencies…
28% of emissions are in the transportation sector, but busses are part of the 2% of the transportation sector that doesn’t get it’s own category. Or <0.5% overall.
emissions in 2022 were light-duty trucks, which include sport utility vehicles, pickup trucks, and minivans (37%); medium- and heavy-duty trucks (23%); passenger cars (20%); commercial aircraft (7%); other aircraft (2%); pipelines (4%); ships and boats (3%); and rail (2%).

I’m obviously not suggesting that the transfer system would change in the duration of William Hume’s suffering.
My point is that his suffering could be a symptom of a transfer system issue the requires resolution. By resolving THAT probable issue; we can both ensure Hume’s suffering is not in vien AND reduce future unnecessary suffering, long term effects, and/or death.
To be clear, I am fully supportive of MAID and have a living will of MAID criteria to make decisions easier on my family. My grandfather-in-law didn’t take the MAID route in September, simply because ceasing medication was a quicker option.
I’m also supportive of facilities not providing MAID, but not for uniquely religious reasons. I’m also not opposed to the Québec legislation that requires all palliative facilities to provide it. It can even make it easier for facilities to not provide MAID by just also not providing palliative (though that comes with a transfer requirement for all palliative patients…)
Yeah, in my diagonal read, I don’t think I captured that the facility was refusing MAID solely on religious grounds. That’s not kosher.
I don’t personally think any facility should be forced to provide MAID. Much as no individual staff should be requiredto. Rather the transfer protocols are what could use an update or spotlight.
Why must the patient be transfered with no family; particularly when it was not a time sensitive transfer? Why is the transfer vehcile unable to keep the patient alive for the journey; in this case it was an elective procedure, but that same failing would exist for a non-elective procude the hospital may be unable to treat?
I’m not a medical person, but my systems viewpoint is wondering what patient transfer is so precarious.
I have a core memory from a a course I was doing as COVID lockdowns were kicking off.
Student: “How will I know my employees are working from home?”
Prof: “How do you know they’re working from the office?”
Land value tax wouldn’t totally fix this, but it would help a lot.
100 years ago there was rabbit overpopulation. The pelts got turned into something akin to a pullover sweater with hood.
Neat how this doesn’t happen to ambulances or fire trucks.
The minimum age for social media should be 105…
Change my mind.
