Approximately 10% of the world's nitrogen based fertilizer comes through the Persian Gulf That supply line has been severed. We have already lost a crop yield. We have already lost a growing season with reduced fertilizer. This damaged to this growing season was slightly prevented by use of alternative fertilizers and the limited stockpiles The next growing season-September to November will see a major reduction in output. It is inevitable. The world lives on a "just in time" model of razor thin margins for food supply to the most vulnerable places on earth. Countries that were food poor even before this war relied heavily on donated food. The coming crop yield will be significantly lower meaning famine. This damage is unavoidable at this point. But the real harm comes in 2027 when these losses multiply. Keep in mind that the alternative fertilizer processes say for phosphorus based fertilizer uses sulfur which comes from LNG processing.
Truth,
"inalienable right to the healthcare they choose?"
No one has an inalienable right to whatever healthcare they choose.
We've had enough time now to see that people's decisions can be influenced by changing social values, cultural pressures, and the people around them. That is one reason I think potentially irreversible medical decisions deserve more serious and careful scrutiny.
As far as the military goes, I agree with the current decision. Transgender service can involve medical treatment, ongoing care, and accommodations that can raise legitimate questions about military readiness and deployment requirements.
Gay service members generally require no special medical accommodations simply because they are gay.
So trying to frame the transgender military issue as simply another version of gay rights is bogus. The two situations are not the same.

Christ you're a dishonest monster
1. cis people have right to the same exact medical procedures that trans people are denied. that is a simple fact
2. You assume, without basis in fact, that trans people's healthcare is done with less scrutiny than cis peoples' healthcare. When the government starts banning breast reduction for cis women/girls like they do for trans people you might have a point, but you don't
3. You do realize that "medical treatment, ongoing care and accommodations" were not mentioned in the Executive Order banning their service. en.wikipedia.org Though the following language WAS used: "conflicts with a soldier's commitment to an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle, even in one's personal life" So, again you are either ignorant or a liar regarding trans in the military, which is it?
Piggy is floating reducing our reserves to below 70 million barrels
The statutory minimum is like 240 million barrels
The problem is that the oil is stored in salt caves that will collapse if the oil is drawn down that low
We are at around 295 million barrels now
Why don't we just increase refining capacity?cause we are maxed out already
