thank you. very cool

I like
behind the bastards - cool deep dives into the worst people in history
the dollop - comedians joking around as they look at an interesting historical episode. left of the libs and radicalizing
death panel - focuses on healthcare in america. they explain the systems and issues very well
blowback - each season covers an example of american imperialism i.e. iraq invasion, korean war, cuba.
the deprogram - seems good. talking about socialism and communism, 3 guys from different countries.

Imagine if a company said it was working towards achieving NET zero murders by 2050. That's not promising much is it, even without the problems of carbon offsets.
Yet the commercial described in the article sounds like it could do real harm. People might take MORE flights based on it. Perhaps the privledge of advertising is better limitted to companies that are not demonstrably harming the public. We can't trust them to get into the public's heads when their products do so much damage.
I don't understand. If these technologies are important why persue them via pressure on these airline companies? Simply tax them more and fund public research. Why let the research be private where its pace will be unknown and its discoveries hoarded for private profit and competitive edge?
