The US pulled out of the Paris Agreement on climate change. What does that mean in concrete terms?
(…) since Paris was an entirely voluntary deal, Trump’s climate policies weren’t constrained in any meaningful way by our participation in it. Conversely, his climate policies won’t be substantively different now that we’re pulling out of Paris.

But a drop in a glass of water three times a day for three days seems okay. It is a stimulant, and it also probably kills gut bacteria. Might be an MAO inhibitor too, if I remember correctly.
