    we have been having a variant of this headline appear ubiquitously every six months for decades.

    we all know it’s a dumb idea, and we all agree that the science and data prove it, so why do we still have it?

    well - because Ontario says we can’t change if New York doesn’t, and New York says we can’t change if Ontario doesn’t. it’s like a big unnecessary game of chrono-chicken. one of these regions needs to just go plowing straight ahead. the loser will absolutely end up copying the winner.

    ps - Chrono Chicken would be an awesome band name.
