  1. That is a really good point. I work for a utility that does not have a free cafeteria, but they subsidize one. And there are healthy offerings every day. The company is self insured with regard to health care, so their contract with the food service requires healthy offerings. They are also forcing the food service company to use recyclable containers.

    Thats so true. It was designed to be innocent until proven guilty. But now, the social media crucifies you to where your reputation is destroyed. And not repairable, even if all charges are proven wrong. Or even if you are never charged.

    Go jack off in your own back yard bigot. You think that republicans are the only ones who Gerrymander. What a fucking hypocrite. The electoral college asshole was so that the most populated states could not dictate to the rest of the country. Read the federal papers idiot for a true understanding of why things were written the way they were. Don't like it, start your own revolution or civil war. Or fucking leave. Better yet, bring on your Antifa and start a civil war.

  4. This study ignores studies on car ownership on A New Study Says Services Like UberPool Are Making Traffic Worse (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    https://www.forbes.com/sites/q... "Predicting the future in the middle of multiple ongoing disruptions in urban car 0wnership is difficult. But itâ(TM)s also a question with great timing as Tony Seba, a Stanford economist among other things, just released a co-authored study which made the following claims: Private car ownership will drop 80% by 2030 in the US. The number of passenger vehicles on American roads will go from 247 million in 2020 to 44 million in 2030. Using electric ride-shares will be four to ten times cheaper per mile than buying a new car by 2021 (and each family could save up to $5,600 per year, compared to purchasing and maintaining a traditional vehicle). Those are compelling numbers, but Iâ(TM)m not buying them. I think the underlying model of human behavior and transportation is too simplistic. To be clear, I think that this future or something close to it will transpire, just not in thirteen years." https://www.planetizen.com/nod... "According to an article by Gene Balk, peak car is still alive and well in Seattle. "Census data show that from 2010 to 2015, the percentage of Seattle households that own a vehicle declined â" thatâ(TM)s noteworthy because itâ(TM)s something that hasnâ(TM)t happened in decades," writes Balk. According to Balk's analysis, the reason for the decline is the generational change brought about by Millennials. "At the start of this decade, someone under the age of 35 was just as likely to own a car as anyone else in Seattle. Five years later, car ownership among the cityâ(TM)s young had declined by about 3 percentage points," explains Balk." Its an expense that a lot of people just don't want to deal with. Need to take a trip, and not wanting to fly or take a train. Rent a car, you don't have to own one. I call the original article bull shit.

    Everyone who is into Electric cars never seems to address several issues. 1). They rely on the grid for their power, which is supplied by carbon producing minerals. Coal/Natural Gas. I know, except for Nuclear. But when was the last time a Nuke plant was built. 2). The raw materials for producing these batteries has to be mined. Raping of the earth. What is the percentage of recycling with these batteries. 3). You want to reduce a carbon footprint. Find something that the poor can afford. You know, the people that have to buy used cars that they can barely keep on the road. Or what, do you expect the rest of us to subsidize them. 4). Charging stations. Yea, there is one on every corner. And if you charge your car at home. So much for renters. Or what, are you going to force landlords to put in charging stations. I am all for reducing carbon foot print. Electrical vehicles are not the way. A much better way would be to reduce privately owned cars, and have better mass transportation.

    Trying to CENSOR anyone's speech is crap. And I don't care what political party. Your moronic AntiFa physically attack anyone they disagree with. How about you? Your liberal colleges can not even deal with differing views without calling them hateful and protesting to not allow what they disagree with. What are you afraid of? Can't handle hearing an opposing argument because you are afraid you might actually learn something that your personal information sources did not let you see/hear/learn? The problem with liberals is they do not try to broaden their information or opinions by listening to others. Not all, trust me. But your comment shows you are one of them that can't handle opposing opinions.
