The headline means newly manufactured e-bikes with lead acid batteries.
There's a fair argument to be made that MADD is also one of these bad Mom organizations. The temperance, surveillance, and tough-on-crime aspects of their advocacy are plainly regressive. On top that they never seem to advocate for better public transit. Their website has one sentence mentioning public transportation, but proudly boasts of the lives saved by ride-sharing companies like Lyft and Uber. No me gusta.
Are AGM batteries really inferior? Sure, they're heavier, but they aren't vulnerable to autoignition and thermal runaway. They also contain less conflict minerals than other types of batteries.
It's absolutely on Biden, the Democrats, and the Universities for their crackdown on the pro-Palestinian protestors since Operation al-Aqsa Flood. Otherwise there would have been no criminal charges to use as a pretext for this order. The protests were peaceful until the authorities and unrestricted pro-Israel mobs escalated.
Are moms okay?
Here's MAA's article about the findings. It does include numbers, but offers no comparison to similar treats on the market. For contrast, this Consumer Reports article addresses lead contamination in Lunchables type products from several manufacturers and does a decent job explaining what their findings mean. The CR article references California's daily read consumption limit, which I think properly relevant for foods, but the MAA article references the EPA limit for lead in water. I can probably do the math to better understand MAA's findings, but I have a feeling that they're presenting them this way in order to make them seem more alarming.
I'm not sure what locally sourced means. Girl Scout cookies come from a factory somewhere. I'll check the boxes when ours arrive, but I always assumed that Girl Scout cookies were just like any other processed junk food: probably containing trace amounts of various types of contamination, but unhealthy in the first place for their sugar content.
I'm not trying to defend Girl Scout cookies or Girl Scouts of America. My suspicion is that this awareness campaign by MAA isn't really about the cookies. I think it might be a rouse to rope people into their anti-vax agenda.
This evening my uncle messaged me to let me know that Moms Across America commissioned testing that found glyphosate and heavy metal contamination in Girl Scout cookies. To be fair, he did just buy some from my kid (no refunds!) and I understand the concern about food contamination, but something is off. What's the deal with Moms Across America? Why is their CEO a vaccine skeptic hoping to get hired by RFK Jr.? It seems like an organic food/anti-vax lobbying organization, but I wonder if there's more to it than that. Is she just that effective as an individual mom influencer?
At this point, accepting the pardon only really helps trump.
How? If the stakes were so low for these two, why are they getting any veneration? Pardons are rare. People hope and pray for them everyday. It's disgraceful and selfish to reject one.
Trump is not “recognizing acceptance of responsibility,” he outright thinks what they did was good.
Lol so what?
Accepting his help is to all but say “I did nothing wrong.”
How? Is it not possible to accept a pardon while admitting culpability and accepting responsibility? To say that it isn't in to contradict the explanation I found on the justice.gov site.
That sure is one hell of a nasty statement.
Like I said, the January Sixthers are all morons. These pardon refusers are just the least sympathetic of them. So many people hope and pray for a pardon everyday. It's incredibly selfish to reject one.
