Gary Webb, who wrote Dark Allaince that exposed the CIA funneling cocaine to the streets that led to the crack epidemic, was found dead, and his death ruled a suicide. Gary was really determined to die, he shot himself twice in the back of the head.

A study describes how smoke combined with chlorine-containing molecules in the stratosphere to cause the destruction. by MistWeaver80

I took an EPA test to handle refrigerants.. Cfc's were horrible. 1 molecule of cfc would destroy 100,000 molecules of ozone.

UN peacekeepers are made up of military members of nations that are in the UN.

So it wasn't Nepal diverting resources for the help of Haiti. It was the UN using their peacekeeping force in a humanitarian operation.

Cholera was never a historical problem. It was never close to being eradicated. You're having nostalgia for a past that never existed.

https://www.who.int/emergencies/disease-outbreak-news/item/2022-DON426

Even the cholera vaccine used in the US isn't on par with what we, or maybe I should say I, think about when we think about vaccines. 85% protection for first 6 months, drops to 62% to 50% protection between 6 months and two years. After 2 years it drops below 50%.

While we humans have eradicated smallpox, we arn't anywhere close to doing that for any other disease.. which sucks, because even with 50% protection after two years, that's a lot of lives saved.

Ozone hole was closing due to banning of CFC. CFC was extremely harmful to the environment.

R-22 is less harmful but still has an ODP, and a stronger GWP than r134a.

Not everything is a corprotacracy conspiracy.

My apologies, I was adding stuff around and meant to say r22 phase out began in 2010 with no new manufacturing of r22 since 2020. I will add a * to make it more clear.

Getting my cert, you learn a lot.. like just how bad cfc's were. If I remember correctly, it was 1 molecule of cfc destroyed 100,000 ozone molecules.

Has nothing to do with patents. It has to do with the ozone depletion and greenhouse warming potentials.

Phase out started in 2010 and no new manufacturing as of 2020.* of HCFC'S like r-22.

R-22 is being phased out in HVAC. Prices for reclaimed r-22 shot up because there is no new manufacturing of r-22 as of 2020. Hcfc have a lower Ozone Depletion Potential than cfc's, but it isn't a perfect 0, for r-22 it's .05 with a Greenhouse Warming Potential of 1700, where r-134a has an odp of 0 and a gwp of 1300.

Reply to comment by Maktaka in Ukraine war: US and Russian defence ministers discuss Ukraine in rare talks by Neitzi

Yep. He also shares the current government stance of "Russia should have a say in the domestic affairs of former soviet states".

His anti war in Ukraine stance is less supporting Ukranian sovereignty, and more of an anti putin stance.

He is also anti corruption... which, dont get me wrong, would be great for the country and it's citizens... but imagine if all the money meant for the military was never stolen... everything maintained, better equipment.. hell even just having basic uniforms that they currently lack.
