The reddit comments on this article are absolutely insane.

I'm surprised DeSantis hasn't required that the storm surge be listed in meters to make it appear smaller and less of an issue.

Being murdered in a genocide seems about as worse as it can get. Would Trump reanimate the corpses and then murder them again or something?

Texas actually made it punishable to help a woman leave the state to get an abortion.

That was mentioned in the OP article and my comment.

Big shocker that this gets passed just after a bunch of NYC officials, including the mayor, are indicted for breaking the law. This scummy shit is why I think both of our political parties are rotten and need to go.

I think they're talking about the new Hummer EV.

A vehicle shutting down in the middle of the freeway can easily cause multiple accidents.

The premise here makes no sense. "Tariffs backfire" because BYD wants to build a plant in Mexico. Mexico refuses to provide incentives to BYD because they don't want their business. "The problem (is BYD) can take their (unwanted) business elsewhere." How is that a problem for Mexico or the US, and if they can build superior products for a cheaper price, why do they need the incentives to begin with? What has backfired here?

Also, the line about sanctions on Russia being "counterproductive" seems pretty telling about the bias of the author and the agenda they're trying to push.

Well if you want to be on the frontier, blazing new trails is certainly required.

but the observed pattern does 100% apply to other things.

Sure, if you retroactively go back and look for patterns where it matches something but that isn't a very useful exercise.
