Even if you think it’s perfectly fine morally, wouldn’t that look awful in the public eye and paint a bad picture of those opposed to him? I think it could only harm any sort of real and effective movement. It’s not representative of everyone anti-Trump, but they’d be easily painted that way.

Cocomelon would have been a proper choice for OP to argue. It’s sensory overload brainrot that causes addiction rather than any sense of morals.

It’s interesting to see people are starting to like the idea of it more, but to me it’s useless lip service until they start building new plants. I’d imagine they’d like it a lot less if they started building a nuclear power plant within 20 miles of their house.

If you mean they both agree to shutter old facilities and not replace them with modern nuclear plants, that’s correct. The anti-nuclear sentiment in the US is very strong.

The politicians don’t like it due to cost and time building, while constituents are still very afraid of nuclear disasters (especially the latter, the view on its safety is 30 years behind).

In my state, prepared foods are generally taxed while produce, canned goods, dairy, and many others are not. The system is confusing enough that hardly anyone knows what’s taxable or not, so they rely on the store systems to do it for them.

Perhaps this isn’t related to DOGE, but the White House memo also threw the defense industry in a lot of uncertainty over military-related grants possibly getting cut. It’s more likely collateral damage than intentional, though.
