maybe the defining feature of US governance is brawndo thinking. if an idea is intuitive or immediately appealing, it has momentum to roll for years, even when each individual involved can learn it's doomed by ten minutes of googling.
Majority of Frankfurt's hydrogen trains are now down due to mechanical issues, the latest in a saga of H2 failures in the region, and the district administrator wants to abandon them. So why is California doubling down on this tech? spiegel.de/auto/hessen-blama…

I wonder if the people who want to legalize Korean sunscreen face the counterargument that “under this proposal, every bottle of sunscreen in America could be thrown out and replaced with Korean sunscreen.”
Under a new proposal, almost every single family home in Montgomery County could be torn down and replaced with a duplex, a triplex, four townhomes, or in some cases a small apartment building.
