Clearly China should be doing something, and it's wrong that they're not. But if global warming isn't real, complaining about China not doing anything seems like a waste of bandwidth. There's an economic competition aspect too. Right, so take the fight to China to force them to do the right thing, don't use it as an excuse to do nothing. If global warming is a thing, and China does nothing, the US doing nothing still makes it worse. A country that severely limits the internet, scores people digitally to ideological purity, is the picture of 21st century slavery and is now launching throughout the world…. You are a decade too late and every global warming convo gets an Ax slide as to why we are the bad guys. I dunno which is worse, more global warming or a dominant China with few freedoms. Actually I do. You won't get any argument from me regarding how awful China is, although I've had people tell me I'm being overly-western-centric in pointing this out. I'll say it again, some people in the US seem to be looking for excuses to do nothing. 'Some people' can be found who believe the earth is in fact flat. They have not stopped those who implemented and used GPS. The same can be said for those who do not believe in global warming. They aren't stopping the American marketplace which is driven by the fact that most Americans like me believe it is in our best interest to do what we can reasonably do to eliminate emissions. Your argument is irrelevant in the face of ever expanding solar farms by utility companies, panels on roofs and commitment to electric vehicles. Regardless of what 'some people' think, we're doing a LOT.

@jon-nyc said in Selling my car: Mines a 2013 with 60k. Bet they list it for over 10,5. It was under 16 (before tax) new, EIGHT years ago. That sounds absurdly expensive, even when considering it has only 60k. Who would buy that?

I believe it. On the other hand a country like Japan had reduction of expected deaths…. I’ll try and find the article

I have a few friends that suffer from that.

tl;dr

What’s the brand? Whether there are people that can repair it or not depends a lot on region. If it’s not used a ton, just look for a decent digital piano.

See the longer, annotated video on YouTube: Link to video It cites an incident that happened in Noble, Oklahoma on 2018 December 18.

It is not possible, for anybody, to think this is ok. There is something else here.

https://www.grassley.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/ceg_to_state_ig_kerry_zarif.pdf Dear Acting Inspector General Shaw: May 4, 2021 On April 25, 2021, the New York Times reported on an audiotape recording of Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif in which he talked about his interactions with former Secretary of State John Kerry. According to the report, Zarif said that Secretary Kerry told him, to Zarif’s “astonishment,” that Israel “had attacked Iranian interests in Syria at least 200 times.”1 Secretary Kerry’s role at the State Department came to an end in January of 2017 with the transition to the Trump administration; however, Secretary Kerry, during an appearance on the Hugh Hewitt radio show in September of 2018, admitted to meeting with Zarif “three or four times” since leaving office, and admitted to discussing the scrapped nuclear deal and other issues.2 It is unclear exactly when Secretary Kerry allegedly told Zarif of these military attacks, the nuclear deal, and other issues and whether these topics were a matter of public record at the time of discussion. On April 29th, 2021, I joined eighteen of my Republican colleagues in a letter to President Biden conveying to him our grave concern over the allegations that Secretary Kerry potentially revealed sensitive information to Zarif. We asked the president to investigate these allegations and to remove Secretary Kerry from his national security team if these allegations were found to be true. President Biden has the power to act and so do you. According to the State Department, pursuant to Section 4.4 of Executive Order 13526, it is standard practice for Secretaries of State to retain their clearances to access classified records from their tenure in office.3 As a holder of a security clearance, Secretary Kerry would be subject to serious obligations and restrictions to ensure that classified and otherwise sensitive information is not shared with foreign adversaries. Those obligations clearly extend to his interactions with Zarif and other foreign officials, whether in office or not. In order to better understand Secretary Kerry’s obligations and responsibilities as a former Secretary of State with respect to information sharing about the military attacks, nuclear deal and other issues and to better understand if he violated any of those obligations, please answer the following no later than May 18, 2021: Did Secretary Kerry retain his security clearance after leaving office? If so, at what level was he cleared? Did Secretary Kerry ever use his security clearance to access sensitive and classified information, whether in written or verbal form, after he left office? If so, when, where, for what purpose and what was the topic at issue? Please provide all records relating to those requests for information. As a condition of his security clearance, was Secretary Kerry required to disclose his meetings with Zarif and other foreign officials to the U.S. Government? If so, did he make such disclosures and, if so, please provide all records relating to those disclosures. With respect to the “three or four meetings” Secretary Kerry had with Zarif, when and where were those meetings held and what was discussed? When and how did the State Department become aware of those meetings? Will you examine whether Secretary Kerry mishandled and improperly disclosed sensitive and classified information to Zarif with respect to the military attacks, nuclear deal, and other issues? If not, why not? Will you examine the sufficiency of all processes, procedures and guidelines set forth by the State Department to oversee and ensure that all security requirements are met by former officials that retain their security clearance? Please send all unclassified material directly to the committee. In keeping with the requirements of Executive Order 13526, if any of the responsive documents do contain classified information, please segregate all unclassified material within the classified documents, provide all unclassified information directly to the committee, and provide a classified addendum to the Office of Senate Security. Although the committee complies with all laws and regulations governing the handling of classified information, it is not bound, absent its prior agreement, by any handling restrictions.

We'd be happy if you could just spell the word color correctly.
