From my reading on the subject, vintage corningware baking dishes have high levels lead in the glazes used for the colored patterning. They seem to consistently test negative for lead on the white surfaces used for cooking.

Lead can get into your food as those colored patterns wear off, and the dishes get washed. It is a danger, but corningware isn't directly marinating your food with lead.

Lead is still in many kitchen products. Its mainly in paints and colored glazes, and other coatings. Though corningware is bad, there are many other sources of lead in many other parts of the kitchen.

You're the one who missed the point.

Landlords and the system that treats housing as a profitable investment is the cause of high costs of living. This happens everywhere in the US. Cities where people want to live in the reddest of the red states have the exact same cost of living problems. Its a fundamental problem that is inherent to for-profit real estate.

Neither party wants to dismantle that system. Your solution is not a solution. High cost of living cannot be solved by switching to the other current political party.

I expect the new models to be harmful to sales.

Because tesla rarely makes changes to their cars year over year, you can buy a tesla now and have one that looks like you bought it before elon publicly went off the deep end. There's still plausible deniability with most of their models.

But now, anyone buying a model Y is getting a car that obviously could only have been purchased during trump's second term. There's no plausible deniability. The distinctive front and rear light bars scream:

"I chose to buy this car after watching the CEO do the nazi salute twice on national television."

Both the 737 and a320 have wait lists at least a decade long. Small jets are popular. This is why few airlines canceled orders in response to the max crashes. Airlines need to keep buying new planes to maintain their fleets, so moving from the front of boeing's queue to the back of airbus's is not a viable strategy.

Comac's C919 went into service in 2023. It is certified by chinese authorities for service in china, but comac is working on getting approval from easa to operate in europe.

Switching to comac would mean getting in the front of the line for the new plane. And aircraft makers often give very favorable deals to launch customers who order large numbers.

And ryanair will be ordering many planes because most of budget airline's savings come from only operating a single aircraft type. Buying comac would mean replacing their entire fleet.

It was a campaign to stop a genocide. Harris chose to throw her campaign instead of winning votes.

so... how much did does the us government give its auto industry?

They gave us auto companies 81 billion between 2008 and 2014, and continue to subsidize the industry to this day.

...

biden basically did that already. ever noticed there are no byds on the road in the us?

i seem to recall it wasn't an outright ban, but unreasonable tariffs on chinese evs specifically. a soft ban, but enough to be as effective.
