An example of government over regulation

Elon Musk's IQ Score​

Based on various sources, Elon Musk’s IQ is estimated to be between 150 and 160, with some sources citing 155 as a more precise estimate. This range places him among the top 2% of the population in terms of intelligence quotient.

Key Points

  • Musk’s IQ is reportedly higher than average, with estimates ranging from 150 to 160.
  • His cognitive abilities are considered exceptional, allowing him to think creatively and find innovative solutions to complex problems.
  • His brain is capable of assimilating information that others may not, making his thoughts original and cutting-edge.
  • While there is no publicly available official IQ score, these estimates are based on expert opinions and assessments of his achievements and abilities.
Note: IQ scores are not always definitive or universally agreed upon, and individual differences in cognitive abilities can be complex and multifaceted.

IQ is a meaningless number. Argument from randU fallacy.
 
The EPA has just enacted regulations that hold large warehouses responsible for pollution from sources associated with them like trucks that load and unload at said warehouses.


The utter stupidity of this is it amounts to double counting. The vehicles and such are already regulated on how much pollution they can produce. The EPA is now saying not only will the vehicles be regulated but where they operate (warehouses) will be further regulated as well. The EPA's argument is one of where the pollution is being created rather than one of how much.

Of course, the EPA gratuitously tossed in that "neighborhoods with people of color" are being most impacted, as if that makes any sense.

The real reason the EPA is doing this is to force shippers and warehouses to switch to EV trucks.

Another day, another government overreach using stupidity.

Here's another way to think about it:

YES the trucks are already being held accountable for each individual's emissions. But the warehouses are an added component which CONCENTRATES otherwise "regulatory acceptable" emissions pushing the overall emissions higher.

EXAMPLE: It's like in some nuclear facilities where they handle fissionable materials. If you walk around you will see red squares taped off on the floor so that people can place buckets of subcritical amounts of material...but if they accidentally put containers to close together it can cause a criticality accident. (This concept has actually be at the heart of a few really nasty nuclear accidents which killed some folks in most gruesome fashion)

So each bucket can only contain so much fissionable material. But there are ADDITIONAL rules against having too many too close together.

The goal would be to try to distribute the warehouse points so that the level of pollution doesn't exceed a safe amount certainly for the neighboring homes.

If you lived nearby (and people DO, trust me...I work in an area that is dominated by tip-up warehouses of a giant size) you would request such regulation.

oh my god you're amazingly fucking stupid.
 
I never said any such thing, liar. Mantra 30a. Lame.
Yes, you did say such a thing.
Amazon does use electric trucks in some areas for deliveries. This makes essentially doubling the fleet necessary, since half of it is on the charger while drivers are out making delivers in the other half.
You claimed only half the trucks could be running during the day because the other half were "on the charger."
Not a semi-truck, Sybil. Stay on topic.
Amazon doesn't use semi trucks for deliveries. They use delivery vans and other small vehicles. I guess you don't know what an Amazon delivery is since you used the word "deliveries" twice in your post.

Nonsense. Gasses, as anyone who took even high school chemistry know, disperse into equilibrium. Any concentration at a warehouse is at best fleeting. This is simply an attempt by the EPA to remove more CO2 without lowering vehicle emissions standards.

It's also obvious you know nothing about nuclear fission. Distribution of the sort you mention is to prevent too high a concentration of gamma radiation for the most part making getting near a particular point dangerous or lethal.

Gasses also don't act like radiation products that are particles of various sorts and absorbed as energy, neutralizing them, with distance and interaction with other materials.

Name the accident(s) you are citing, I dare you.

Never did, Sybil. You are hallucinating again. Mantra 30a.

That will probably change very soon.

That is so funny. I quote you and link to your quote and you deny you said it.
Is someone else using your account? If not, then clearly you posted it.
 
In fact, most industries are controlled by a very few companies. We are at least an oligopoly on the way to monopolies. Competition is long gone. Capitalism is a fading memory.
not really, traitor to humanity.

you're just stuck on stupid.

many are redeeming themselves prior to going to hell.

give it a try.

come to Jesus.

Trump 2024!
