What are the protocols/powers involved in declaring something a national emergency? Like what decision power does the president gain in that scenario?

EDIT: This site seems to cover a lot of the benefits gained and what protections are in place to limit overreach, but given the current state of affairs I can’t imagine why Congress would reign in the abuse.

I had these same questions when I started seeing these tags as well. If we’re going to tag Canadian products, at the very least all Canadian products should get tagged. Considering how a lot of stores are turning to digital shelf tags it shouldn’t take a whole lot of effort to put a little digital maple leaf on each item.

When I visit my usual sugar shack this spring I’ll have to remember to ask if they have any in-house to try.

I hadn’t considered the damage from radiation. Thanks for the perspective.

I was looking at it from the perspective of all the failed probes we’ve sent and whether or not the lost costs/missions could be recouped or completed somehow.

When one day we get people back on the moon, is there a chance these devices could be brought back online?

For the uninitiated it’s basically a 1:1 clone of Apollo for Reddit. Hell, even the app’s name is derivative!

That said it’s still one of the best Lemmy apps for iOS and is a testament to Christian Selig’s original vision.

I’ll buy a bottle of Crown Royal in solidarity.

A trade war ahead of hurricane and forest fire season; this summer is going to be rough.
