I can't afford $30K a year in gas tax or a Tesla. Most people can't. It's not more cost-effective because some pencil pusher raised my taxes. It's a net loss for everyone but Tesla, and Washington DC. Buy a Tesla or we'll tax you into bankruptcy? You think that's a winning idea?
Why would things like taxing gasoline or electricity be effective? I don't drive because I want to, I drive because I have to, same with heating my house. Additional taxes on things like gasoline and electricity just hurt me without providing any tangible benefit.
Yeah, and if you actually read the poll, you will see when specific items are listed (tax elecricity, gasoline, tax breaks for nuclear power) they oppose them 2 to 1. Another misleading Slashdot headline.
In the US we gave the telcos massive tax funded grants in exchange for rural broadband development. They took the money and ran. It's time to stop giving corporations access to tax money.
No, asshole, he was calling shifting of the entire global industry to green technologies a small thing. Like lightning rods. Clearly, it's not a small thing.
A small thing? A lightning rod costs 50$ tops. Requires almost no maintenance, and is not subsidized or mandated. Can you say any of those thing about green technologies?
I'd never click on one, or look at it directly anyway. So they're ineffective on me, they just make my pages load slower. I pay for my internet connection, I'm not going to pay to view ads. So, screw off.
I have found progressives more likely to shut down guest speakers at colleges, force firings of people who happen to say the wrong thing, and shun friends when they realize they aren't progressives as well.

No, I'm just trying to figure out if the public transit solution is an unrealistic for you as it is for me in rural Wisconsin.
Marc, where in Alaska do you live?
News flash. Those Liberals, aren't.

A market where telcos have access to tax breaks and tax grants is not free.

Sure, that's just one of many.

They problem is they have advanced it so far that it has become meaningless. Like always having an orange national security threat level.

Even if you look at it on a per mile basis? Or per hour?
What's an "untter"?
Yeah, but unlike leftists, they hate newspeak.
No, the sun warms the planet many orders of magnitude more every single day.
I'm glad to see that Google is taking the issue seriously.
You obviously read the article, but didn't comprehend it. Nowhere does your quoted text say how the professor coerced the student, only that he did.
Maybe, but not until after the 2012 election. Some of their application had been held up for years.
That's a big pile of steaming shit, right there.
Really? Would you say conservatives are satisfied with the current status quo?

Sure, like the stereotype of the southern white guy?
