Why isn't our government mandating (& providing funding for) improved ventilation in public buildings? Study showed with 2.4 changes of the air per hour, cases dropped by 40%. With 4 changes of air every hour, infections dropped by 66.7%; when replacing the air 6 times each hour, infections go down by 82.5%! We need this in theatres, restaurants, schools...

Reuters · Italian study shows ventilation can cut school COVID cases by 82%By Reuters

"#CarParking in housing developments should be 'wholly eliminated' where there's good access to urban services & #PublicTransport.
To meet #climate & #sustainability targets, draft guidelines from Department of Housing will reduce car parking spaces “at all” urban locations.
The graduated approach would see parking spaces at new homes #minimised, substantially #reduced, or “wholly #eliminated” in major #cities."

Irishexaminer.comPlans to 'eliminate' car parking at new housing developments  By Jack White
Continued thread

Four #teenagers, targeted Heakin because of his #sexualorientation, were #arrested and faced first degree #murdercharges.

During their #trial, however, the #judge controversially #reduced the #charges against them to #involuntarymanslaughter, and once #convicted, the #teens received #probation.

According to a local pastor, there were a number of murders in Tucson around that same time that the police largely ignored.

Massive spending cuts

The GOP Debt Limit proposal would #slash the #federal #budget back to levels adopted in the 2022 fiscal year, then #cap #federal #agencies#future budgets at 1 percent for the next decade.

In total, the spending reductions could achieve more than $3 trillion in savings over the next decade, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office

The cuts probably would #target federal #health #care, #science, #education, #climate, #energy, #labor and #research programs, while leaving untouched the Pentagon and services for veterans. But the bill does not specify the exact agencies or programs on the chopping block, leaving the task to lawmakers on congressional appropriations committees who craft spending bills that keep the government running and stave off a shutdown.

Highlighting the harm of such cuts earlier this year, Biden administration officials predicted more #flight #delays, #slower Social Security #checks, #reduced college #aid for needy students and significant reductions in the number of people served by #affordable #housing programs, according to letters they sent to Congress earlier this year.

The missives, which analyzed an earlier version of the GOP plan, said cuts back to 2022 levels would also hamstring government agencies that respond to #extreme #weather, eliminate 170,000 slots in a key federal #preschool #program, and impact the #IRS and its ability to provide timely #refunds.

Trying to make some accessible product cards, with links to product variants appearing between title and description on :hover and :focus. (the variants are not animated when users choose #reduced #motion)

Since I am still learning and I want to do better, is there something obviously wrong with the #accessibility of this code? Suggestions to improve it are always welcome.

Thank you!
