> Counties expected to experience heat indices above 125°F by 2053
Genuine question. How many climate predictions from 30 years ago came true today?

I have npm fatigue.
Just use the language people!
Writing 3 LOC instead of 1 call to an external package is OKAY.

Recent decisions by the supreme court.
I assume you're talking about abortion.
How did their ruling infringe on the separation between church and state?

I dunno about civil war, but I'm increasingly convinced the US is a failing state. Capital owners in a variety of sectors are siphoning off public money while paying next to no taxes. The introduction of unlimited money in political campaigns, the minoritarian rule by conservatives. Increasing theocracy and dissolution of church and state separation... Just to name a few things.
As a Canadian all of these things are extremely concerning, I can't imagine how Americans are feeling.

Can you give an example of this?

Rather than complain about how VCs arent good investors, people should rail on the system that selects VCs. Which is mostly admittance to prestigious MBA programs/colleges. So please write a post about how those schools arent selecting for good investors, because these diatribes about a "flawed" industry are very surface level compared to the underpinning power structures in america
How do we distinguish between: "VCs are are selected because they go to school X", "school X is good at creating VCs", and "school X receives more potential VCs"?
My guess is probably more statements 2 and 3 for the usual suspects eg Stanford

Ah yes, but that would require Congress to actually do something, which hasn't happened in the last 18 months so we shouldn't expect it to start.
Congress could have mooted this case with ordinary statutory procedures at any point, but did not.
I think a good thing that laws can't pass without sufficient consensus. If you can bypass consensus for the greater good then so can the other side.
Are there any other branches of science commonly in the news not progressing over the last three decades?
I agree there will have been lots of progress. However, 30 years from now people will probably say that the same thing to excuse todays predictions if they were wrong.
