When there's a move to defend the police, there's also an understanding that the internal culture and workings of the police are corrupt.

Given how the police protect its membership, how can we guarantee that money given to them will actually go to retraining and better standards of service? Do you contract a new teaching force, and a new internal investigations group to ensure compliance with the new framework?

That would be super adversarial, and I suspect rather dangerous.

In addition, sometimes cops as they are now are just the wrong tool. A mental health worker is actually more useful in many cases rather than a police officer.

Easier to defund and rebuild.

Some particles do get in, which is why copper pots are popular. This has links to the copper benefits that's backed by science: https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/health-wellness/article/3185935/why-you-should-drink-water-stored-copper-jug-or-pot

But comparing stove boiling versus electric kettle or microwave ... Could you taste the difference? I certainly can't, unless the microwave was odourful.

I did miss one thing though. Superhabitable planets or Earth like planets would obviously be far easier to adjust to human needs. Kepler 1126b is the best IIRC.

But that becomes a question of reaching it and time taken.

There really isn't any. The amount of work involved to terraform, and time, would vastly overshadow what it would take to repair the Earth.

Plus it's mostly theoretical and untested, whereas in the case of Earth its mostly a matter of stopping pollution.

No, it's pretty much wish fulfillment at the moment.
