I, for one, expect our NOAA scientists to be employed by a government ("of the people, by the people, for the people" - thank you Pres. Lincoln [R]) alerting me for the safety of me & my family in real-time to climate and weather events in this uber-connected bot world

Government exists solely to do what private industry will not - get to work!

Am I supposed to be excited that despite record heat waves and forest fires, Canada is strengthening air travel with Greece to spite the US?

Carney is still a capitalist after all. They would rather see the world burn than do anything real.

Yesterday I read about Japan's sidewalks producing electricity through people walking on their tiles.

I was certain I read about it before and indeed, the French author Alphonse Allais had already thought of sidewalks using people's steps to produce electricity... in 1896!

Actually this guy predicted a number of future technology, always as a joke.
One more proof that science is nothing without imagination (and humor).
