"If you stick a knife in my back 9 in and pull it out 6 in, there's no progress. If you pull it all the way out, that's not progress. The progress is healing the wound that the blow made. They won’t even admit the knife is there"

Fun fact: the FBI hates losing cases, so much so they mainly stage big cases via entrapment and only prosecute when it seems certain they can win. This also encourages framings. Though they value getting factual information out of informants etc (unlike the CIA who will take any actionable information hence the torture confessions etc) the FBI does value winning more than the truth.

Just in case people don't know.
Mechanical carbon capture is NOT PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE. Carbon capture, no matter the technology involved, is correlated linearly with the surface area it covers. This is why anything mechanical that actually needs to build shit will not be able to capture carbon at any reasonable amounts.
Again, mechanical carbon capture is impossible.
Now, biological and source of pollution carbon capture is possible and is already happening.
Carbon capture, no matter how much we progress, is never going to be a feasible solution. Technology isn't going to save us.

"We know for a fact that most of Fox News is vaccinated, and it's a safe bet that the ones that refuse to say have as well. Rupert Murdoch got his dose at the first possible moment. Steve Doocy, Ainsley Earhardt, Brian Kilmeade, and Mark Levin all got their shots. Tucker Carlson's angry refusal to say whether or not he did speaks for itself. The Fox headquarters even has a requirement that all staff disclose their vaccination status, and the unvaccinated have to wear masks and submit to daily health checks.
Now, this is not to say that all the top conservative elite are cynical liars who don't believe the right-wing propaganda they espouse. Their level of genuine belief varies between hosts and topics — Carlson, I'll wager, knows perfectly well he is spreading lies about the vaccine, but he also gives every sign of being a committed white supremacist. Sean Hannity also knows the vaccines works and has said so, but he can't bear his viewers yelling at him for a single second. Doocy, meanwhile, seems to be the network's lone voice unequivocally advocating for vaccines.
By the same token, it's hard to know why exactly lower-ranking conservative radio guys didn't follow Doocy's advice. It could be the different social context of being an ultra-rich celebrity in New York, and therefore seeing personally thousands of people who got the vaccine with no ill effects, versus being in a conservative backwater where liberals are less present. It could just be that radio guys are more addicted to their own propaganda, or spend more time in the fever swamps of Facebook ivermectin groups."

The curious case of the COVID-free conservatives
The conservative TV elite thrive while hinterland radio hosts are dying of COVID-19. That's telling.
