Fuck it. YOLO. Only got 10 or 20 years until the water wars or WW3 or climate change breaks everything anyway.
psst.... don't look now, but it's less than ten years.

All of those numbers are teeny tiny in comparison to the number of Americans killed by America.
Remember, though, that it is currently profitable to reform hydrogen out of methane, at the same time as it's not profitable to contain and sell 'byproduct' hydrogen. There are sure to be reasons why, and they might be fairly durable reasons that don't change much even as the demand for hydrogen increases. I'm no expert on this so I won't speculate too much on what those reasons might be -- maybe factors related to scale and logistics?
I'm pretty sure the basic thermodynamics of it are against truly green hydrogen production ever becoming cheaper than the dirty business of producing it by reforming methane from natural gas, unless basically all fossil fuel subsidies are someday cancelled -- or else after the energy cost of energy gets so high (in other words, the energy return on energy invested falls so low) that it's no longer practical to extract fossil fuel from the ground regardless of price or any other economic factor; -- but by that point in the future, that same scarcity will have permanently crashed the world economy thus humanity will already be in forced deindustrialization. I could go on...
Turns out Kennedy too was more of a turd than most people suspected at the time. Not in the same league with your list, but still a real mess once you know enough about him.
Congrats Caltrain!
Please forgive my trifling quibble, but isn't that the Intermountain West (which is rarely if ever described broadly as progressive), not the Pacific Northwest -- since you were east of the Cascade range?
What do we infer from seeing one stuck open already -- are they able to be broken or forced open by a body slam or something?
Also curious if this could have happened when the gate tried to close but someone's rolling suitcase or whatever was still in the way.
Watch this riveting documentary to become permanently disgusted with the US's handling of Peltier's case.
Robert Redford narrates this documentary about the Pine Ridge Shootout on an Oglala Sioux reservation in South Dakota. On June 26, 1975, two FBI agents are searching for tribesman Leonard Peltier, wanted in connection with an assault. They are killed after coming under heavy fire, presumably from Peltier and his accomplices. However, proponents claim that the FBI botched the investigation by tampering with and suppressing evidence, and that Peltier's imprisonment is a miscarriage of justice.
"miscarriage of justice" is an understatement.
Every single day I get a yucky feeling when I remember that people are still using his garbage website/app/platform.
Forgive me for thinking that instead of keeping them out, Israel had been allowing them in and then murdering them 'by accident'.
I didn't know it was legal to rent an apartment without windows.
