I could be wrong since it’s mostly a vague memory at this point, but I recall reading at some point that Bush brushed off some reports in the handoff from the Clinton admin about Islamic terrorism.
So maybe 9/11 would have happened anyways and we just would have seen a different response, or maybe Gore could have acted on those reports and caught the perpetrators before 3000+ people were killed.
Imagine if instead of all the money spent on the Iraq war had instead been invested in green infrastructure here in the US. Doubly so if 9/11 had been prevented and Afghanistan hadn’t happened either.
If 9/11 didn’t happen, there’s no Patriot Act, no Homeland Security Act, no ICE, etc.
I can’t even fathom how different this country might have been without those defining events.
Unfortunately I can’t eat tofu. I love it though.
Unfortunately, I’m allergic to nickel and most vegetarian protein sources give me issues. I don’t eat beef very often anyways, but as someone who was a lite-vegetarian for a while, it bums me out that I had to change my diet to eat more meat/animal products.
Imagine if the 2008 recession hadn’t occurred…
