Population is likely to peak within a few decades, and is already declining in the EU, China, and US. The issue here is that we are going to have a choice between lots of beef for the rich, and feeding everybody.
Except that he’s not a Republican, so the royal perogative isn’t allowed by the courts
No paywall, just registration. Use a throwaway email
Registration wall, not money
They were asked, and Trump just gave blather which didn’t respond to the question. Biden responded to his blather
Not entirely though actually getting anything past the courts is going to mean something like expanding the court to disempower the Republicans there.
That’s probably become increasingly untenable. So he just responds with nonsense instead of a meaningful answer.
But what does “has to” mean anyways? The reality is motivated judge can rule pretty much anything as “ambiguous”
Getting something done means having enough Democrats in the Senate who want to change the rules. That’s a tough lift

That’s the idea: extract the oil, pay out everything as dividends or share buybacks, and then sell the well to a doomed-to-fail company which can declare bankruptcy and leave the public responsible for cleaning up the mess.
