But best of luck
I'm glad the first comment I saw here was thinking the exact thing I was.
If I could get some sort of filter for Lemmy that blocked all news headlines that contained question marks, I'd be a happier fella.
Bonus points if it could also filter any headline that contains the following words/phrases: "slams", "blasts", "may", "might", "could", "possibly", "probably", "should", "must", "need to", "[profession] says".
I'm going to go with "No."
When a headline is phrased in the form of a yes/no question, the answer is always no. Because the real story isn't interesting, and they need to have the reader imagine something interesting and click on it.
If anything interesting happens, the headline will just say what happened.
Any person with the American citizen's best interests at heart would be better than this self serving cretin. How do we transition from fossil fuels to green energy while coal, oil and gas are running the show?
We don't.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Charles Town, West Virginia, was where state authorities executed the abolitionist John Brown after he led an attack on a federal armory a few miles down the road in Harpers Ferry, a pivotal moment in the lead-up to the civil war.
In recent years he has used his power as a swing vote in Congress to stop several of Joe Biden’s legislative priorities – attracting the ire of progressives and prompting Shrewsbury to mount a primary challenge.
Political analysts do not expect voters to elect the Democratic candidate – whoever that turns out to be – and predict Manchin will be replaced by either Governor Jim Justice or Congressman Alex Mooney, the two leading Republicans in the Senate race.
In the years that followed, he guarded the perimeter at the US base in Guantánamo Bay, and was deployed to Japan, Malaysia and South Korea before eventually moving to Seattle and then returning to West Virginia, where he realized how bereft his home state was of the prosperity he saw elsewhere in the country and overseas.
Since 2020, Shrewsbury has helped towns dig out from flooding, door-knocked in the narrow Appalachian valleys – known as hollers – to find out what residents were looking for from the state legislature, and talked to mayors and city councils about the opportunities presented by the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which incentivizes consumer usage of renewable energy, including home solar panels.
Despite the state’s conservative leanings, Sam Workman, the director of the Institute for Policy Research and Public Affairs at West Virginia University, believed Manchin may have had a path to victory had he decided to run.
The original article contains 1,291 words, the summary contains 272 words. Saved 79%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
No lol but wish him the best
