We put out one immediate ecological disaster, and in the process we create another
Wildfires are social disasters, not ecological disasters. They're a part of the natural process by which forests maintain equilibrium. They're only called "disasters" when they affect buildings.
And his approval is quite low for an incoming president.
To be fair, he's not really an incoming president in the conventional sense. He's more like a second-term president in that people have already seen him in "action" and formed opinions based on his track record. Who knows precisely how the intervening four years would tend to affect his approval.
The only precedent is, of course, Grover Cleveland, and I doubt his approval ratings were established by a methodology that's similar enough to ours for the numbers to be directly comparable.
As a frequent DDG user, I appreciate the privacy aspect, but often find the result quality lacking and kneel to Google when I have to.

Ostensibly better privacy than DDG, and it uses Google's results.
Enjoy!
Obesity in the poor is not necessarily due to "poor life choices". Ther are other factors contributing to it.
3) Eating healthy is expensive in both time and money. Cheaper foods tend to be less healthy.
Your thesis seems to be that poor people are fat because "healthy" food is expensive. Eating primarily junk food will likely cause a number of long-term health problems, but obesity doesn't have to be one of them.
To a first-order approximation, obesity means (calories in) > (calories out). If eating a whole bag of Cheetos for dinner makes you fat, then your caloric (if not nutritional) needs have been more than met. Consider eating half a bag of Cheetos for dinner instead?
Am I wrong?
The Fediverse is my kind of social media. I enjoy it the way I have never enjoyed Facebook, Reddit, Instagram or Twitter.
There's something utterly nauseating about being offered services to attract me to a platform for the pupose of putting me under surveillance and monetizing what I say or do. It feels like being a fucking lab rat. The Fediverse is fundamentally not like that. It reminds me of the early internet, when things were still fairly innocent and corporate-free.
I'm not sure how to ask this without sounding sarcastic, but I genuinely want to know: does it feel different because you have the knowledge that it's not [presently] owned by corporate overlords and that affects your attitude while engaging with the site, or is there some aspect of the content or the experience of browsing the site that's conspicuously different from the commercial platforms?
A lorry holds about 21,000 kg.

Wait, I thought bananas were a measure of radiation, not mass.
Which subreddits?
Asking for a friend.

(10k km)
No concerns about your thesis. As an aside though, kilo-kilometers? I've noticed this trend elsewhere, and once you start seeing it, you can't stop.
To me, it reads as a only-partial adoption of the metric system. Oil change intervals should be listed in megameters, not thousands of kilometers.

Sounds like a no-brainer to me: Solar's cheaper & faster to build & cheaper to run. Why bother building more coal power at all?
Because we don't want to have to throw away all the food in our refrigerators every morning.
Sometimes I'll say, "Is this really what you wanted to be when you grew up?"
"Are your parents proud of what you do?"
Here's a question for every adult from the 1960s to today; How comfortable are you handing a Hemi-powered Dodge with a big block motor, to your teenage driver?
The EV acceleration "race", isn't a good thing. We'll realize that when every new car is something that would smoke everything you would never give them before.
Not sure about the rest, by my Tesla (Model 3 Performance) can have its acceleration limited to ~50% and requires a PIN to reenable. Seems like that would work for teens.
So the prevailing theory still holds -- that it's a nice drone with a lightweight mannequin attached.
It has been done before in NYC.
But you could see after five or six months that people really were missing in person interactions. Video conferencing, email and phone are no replacement for the kinds of hallway meetings. We're social animals, and no amount of technology can ever overcome how humans interact together.
It is not the purpose of a job to make people feel socially fulfilled. "Missing in-person interactions" sounds like a problem best solved by gathering with friends after the work day is over, not an excuse to force people to waste an extra 90 minutes per day in their cars.
