Per another comment (and the article I suppose, if I bothered to read it), the title is apparently misleading and the bills are about ‘weather modification’ and such, not about chemtrails.

But a bill to ban chemtrails: my take is, I’d support that. You have a bunch of people worried they’re real. If chemtrails were real, they’d be bad. People can’t trust companies not to be doing it secretly, but those people trust legislation (a bit; maybe). Okay then, legislate it. Give people peace of mind.

It’s like all the debates about phones listening in to you. The consensus seems quite clear that they’re not, and all the uncanny ad targeting comes from connecting the dots on other data. But, maybe it could be real? Okay, legislate it. Make it highly illegal for devices to listen in without clear consent and notification. Okay, that’s far more complicated than it sounds, but it would be one step of pressure in the right direction to make it not happen.

Squirt ice up your nose!

But for real, boiling water and keeping it in a container for later is a common strategy in many places.

It does not hurt to do so

Unless, like another commenter, you panic and forget to let the boiled water cool enough!

I believe the amoeba grows in warm water, which is why hot springs in New Zealand are at risk. So hopefully you’re more safe! You might want to check better info than me though!

Lol

It’s tricky. Part of the problem, I think, is if you do have corruption and carelessness in something like the FDA, there’s no amount of careful reporting that can fix it - it becomes propaganda.

It’s necessary to address the problems, though I still agree with being careful about what information is broadcast and how - but it’s necessary to keep information open and challenge things otherwise you end up worse down the line. A measles epidemic is bad. But imagine if you suppressed thalidomide results and other failures, allowing things to get worse and worse in the name of not damaging people’s trust, then eventually (after years of covered-up harm) it all comes out and people abandon scientific medicine altogether!

You don’t have to imagine… I’m sure a large component of both vaccine skepticism and Trump’s presidency have come because of suppressed and partially-suppressed wrongdoing by all the people we think the country should trust. Eventually people break and look for something else.

So, I agree with you, but in my opinion we do need to work more, not less, at transparency and truth even when it’s problematic.

Cool! Thanks for sharing.
