All of those numbers are teeny tiny in comparison to the number of Americans killed by America.

Remember, though, that it is currently profitable to reform hydrogen out of methane, at the same time as it's not profitable to contain and sell 'byproduct' hydrogen. There are sure to be reasons why, and they might be fairly durable reasons that don't change much even as the demand for hydrogen increases. I'm no expert on this so I won't speculate too much on what those reasons might be -- maybe factors related to scale and logistics?

I'm pretty sure the basic thermodynamics of it are against truly green hydrogen production ever becoming cheaper than the dirty business of producing it by reforming methane from natural gas, unless basically all fossil fuel subsidies are someday cancelled -- or else after the energy cost of energy gets so high (in other words, the energy return on energy invested falls so low) that it's no longer practical to extract fossil fuel from the ground regardless of price or any other economic factor; -- but by that point in the future, that same scarcity will have permanently crashed the world economy thus humanity will already be in forced deindustrialization. I could go on...

Turns out Kennedy too was more of a turd than most people suspected at the time. Not in the same league with your list, but still a real mess once you know enough about him.

Please forgive my trifling quibble, but isn't that the Intermountain West (which is rarely if ever described broadly as progressive), not the Pacific Northwest -- since you were east of the Cascade range?

Watch this riveting documentary to become permanently disgusted with the US's handling of Peltier's case.

Incident at Oglala

Robert Redford narrates this documentary about the Pine Ridge Shootout on an Oglala Sioux reservation in South Dakota. On June 26, 1975, two FBI agents are searching for tribesman Leonard Peltier, wanted in connection with an assault. They are killed after coming under heavy fire, presumably from Peltier and his accomplices. However, proponents claim that the FBI botched the investigation by tampering with and suppressing evidence, and that Peltier's imprisonment is a miscarriage of justice.

"miscarriage of justice" is an understatement.

Every single day I get a yucky feeling when I remember that people are still using his garbage website/app/platform.

Forgive me for thinking that instead of keeping them out, Israel had been allowing them in and then murdering them 'by accident'.

If anything, his incoherence is, to them, a benefit, since he's just that much easier to manipulate. Since he can't form a coherent thought on his own, he can be readily filled up with someone else's ideas, just so long as they're framed correctly.

This is pretty much what was going on in the presidencies of Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush too. I'm so sick of sharing a country with people who eagerly elect feeble-minded puppets... I guess because they find them relatable.

They don't see Trump as the second coming of Christ, they see him as more like another King Cyrus. It's the idea that a ruler or other major figurehead can be a "vessel for God" benefiting the believers of a particular religion while not actually being a part of said religion or conforming to its morals.

You may have forgotten, in this party, winning is less important than pleasing the billionaires.
