The ESA passed under a Republican president as a bipartisan consensus, 355-4, but in years since it has become highly controversial. As the cases above show, the act enables tiny fish and an array of other microfauna (or the environmental campaign groups acting on their behalf) to stand in the way of billions of dollars of capital.
We feel rather than know (and many of us refuse to acknowledge) that power (that is, the ability to do things) has been separated from politics (that is, the ability to decide which things need to be done and given priority).

GPT-3/4 is like a Meeseeks box for computer and internet tasks. Keep your task simple, and it will quickly and happily solve it for you before ceasing to exist. (Well, that’s how I use it via the API, at least. ChatGPT will preserve the state, but of course the context window is still limited anyway.)
