From the article:
The new law aims to restore at least 20% of the EU's land and seas, with specific targets including reversing the decline of pollinators and restoring 25,000 kilometres of rivers to free-flowing conditions. This target is instrumental to align EU policy with global commitments made by almost 200 countries to restore and protect at least 30% of our planet’s degraded ecosystems by 2030. The legislation solidifies Europe's leadership in global biodiversity restoration and protection efforts, setting a powerful example for the rest of the world.
This law is in many ways the first of its kind and creates legally binding restoration targets for various ecosystems throughout the EU.
I genuinely think there was no greater insight into the modern Christian mindset than when the Pope said he very much hoped Hell was empty and he was absolutely hounded by both Catholics and Protestants outraged at the idea of a man who wanted a place of infinite suffering to have nobody in it.
Crying bc the events of Pacific's Rim are literally happening right now. January 8 was the day Mako and Raleigh fought those kaijus in the Hong Kong double event. January 12 is the triple event where they close the breach. In two days we cancel the apocalypse.
They didn't introduce a bill to just repeal the $35 cap on insulin.
They introduced a bill to repeal the entire Inflation Reduction Act.
Which, among other things, means they want to get rid of:
- the $35 insulin cap.
- And a yearly cap of $2,000 for medications in Medicare Part D.
- And allowing Medicare to negotiate for drug prices.
- And requiring pharma companies to issue refunds to Medicare if the costs of their drugs rises faster than inflation
- And an elimination of copays in Medicare Part D for vaccines like tetanus and rabies
- And an expansion of eligibility for low-income subsidies for Medicare
Saying they want to eliminate just the insulin cap is understating their desire to fuck people over.
This is why so many people celebrate Luigi Mangione.

everyone is too removed from disability !!! Disabled kids get kept in segregated classes or schools, so the abled kids grow up without being in contact with disability unless there is a disabled person in their immediate family or similar. Inaccessible infrastructure / architecture means disabled people frequently stay at home instead of out and about in their neighborhoods, etc. And then, after you finish school you are often unable to find employment, and in countries where this exists, you are generally most likely to end up in a segregated "sheltered workshop" for disabled people, once again out of the sight and mind of abled people.
Unless you as an abled person start a job where you care for, teach or accompany disabled people, you can go your whole life without ever interacting with us beyond staring at us from across the grocery store aisle.
It's no wonder barely no one cares about disability rights beyond those affected, their entire lifes are built around not having to think about us ever.
