The point is that the research is limited to finding data which, according to my biologist, misses the point of what damages mammal communication and stress. I though that bluesky members would be more educated in this way.

I thought that you may understand that the research is very limited. My biologist coworker and another friend who invented sonar equipment agreed that physiology is not taken into account. Much like putting a decibel rating number on a refrigerator does not correspond to user annoyance.

Remember when Obama said that you could keep your doctor (not mine) and then Fauci told your doctor what to do and not do under penalty of losing their license? Don't you want a choice? Or you want gov to tax you and give you meds that the ruling Elites avoid?

If you know any, ask your old Iranian friends about this. I remember when the Iranians came to US in 1970s and what they told me. Take a look at NYC now, and then remember in 10 years how it looked.

This is so misleading, like a dead dog being "revived" as an alligator. The SB News Press was SOLD to an out-of-State corporotocracy run by leftists, who have removed many old articles that are not so convenient for their narratives. Former SB News Press staff now run the SB Current substack.

Zoning became popular because families did not like to live next to a muffler shop or the neighborhood becoming a crowded slum. If you like looking into your neighbor's window, then I guess setbacks are a hindrance.

I saw that project several times, and in my 35 years of experience in administrating such contracts, the waste is in the HOV lanes- more than doubled the cost and land use. However the government keeps pushing separate HOV lanes despite their waste of space and cost.

These days many dogs seem to have mental problems, not to mention lucrative cancer. Unpredictable, moody, jittery, yet their owner feed them soy, corn, rice, pea, seed oils. Unlike our outdoor carnivore dogs sprinting and eating bones, joints and organs when I was a kid.

My kid got hit from behind by an electric scooter, smashing his face into the sidewalk, and the rider did not stop. These high-speed eMotorcycles and eScooters should have registration, licensing, insurance and traffic enforcement, not run on the sidewalk with pedestrians. That is traffic equity.

I knew the guy that started the previously "discredited by scientists" BPA studies, and he was defunded when his data showed concern, and then found funding which later proved the dangers and started all the "no BPA" craze. How many pharma studies ended up like his started? RFK may find out.

Forced manual training is different from non-reversible amputations and repurposed pharma on children. When I was around 10 I wanted to play with dolls-- for about 2 weeks, and my parents allowed it until I got bored and put the doll in a box.
