Philosophically, if those services deteriorate beyond repair and are riff with corruption/nepotism, the people have the right to object, by any means necessary. The efficiency of our tax dollars, in the US at least, is prob very low. I

At first, I was all for banning Tiktok, but I'm come around - no social media giant has the users or general public in mind, whether their HQ is in the US or China. Big tech in the US is just upset they didn't come up with Tiktok

The "science" has no mentions of the stove itself, the wood used, how the wood was dried, the physical setup where the stove is being used, they also lumped in "fireplaces" which imo, negates the entire study, because th
