to build factories. The government runs the bloody factories. Like the Post Office. Otherwise it just turns into corruption.
You mean the post office that doesn't make any money? Or like the one in Canada that also doesn't make money? Yeah. Nice communist pipe dream, worked out well for Venezuela too, and it sure worked out great in Canada back in the 1970's too...so well that it nearly broke confederation.
in 2020 I'd go to the coal miners (who are likely to swing the election) and offer them jobs in gov't run factories building solar panels. That's the kind of infrastructure spending and green jobs that would make a real difference.
Did you miss something? That's exactly what Obama did and none of the jobs materialized, and the solar panel factories shut down, if they simply didn't go bankrupt in hand. The Obama administration threw assloads of money at this and all you got nothing. Compared to the auto industry which had a least a near-to-full payout on money in several cases, minus the screw-up of selling the stocks held early.
This is the exact same thing happened in Spain and Greece. So did the "green" battery factories in the US that were supposed to be for all those electric cars. This exact same thing is happening here in Ontario, because Ontario is no longer subsidizing the massive costs for green energy products with 30 year FIT contracts, paying $0.25kWh-$1.489/kWh on native reserves. There's a street just on the other block where a lot of the guys who built the farms worked. They started getting out in January/Feb 2017 because they could see the massive downturn already happening.
That's because Google is taking words to be literal, instead of including them into proper sentences when punctuation is used in many cases. Compare the differences between Atlas, Bing and Google translations. Atlas and Bing are fare more likely to be correct because they're paying attention to the grammatical rules.
I'm saying that the Venn diagram of "Times I forget to charge" and "Times there is a major snowstorm" is going to have a very tiny overlap.
Your venn diagram is pretty shit then. You can see a major snowfall accumulation 3 times a week some years, and a major snowstorm every 4-5 days. A few years ago around here we had major snowfall events of greater than 12" of snowfall every 4 days. For the kids, that was some pretty fun times. Though the paths cut into sidewalks with the snow being 4' all around you was far more interesting.
That's not too bad. You could go all day in that. Ontario is fairly temperate by Canadian standards, right? That sounds like the weather here in Philly yesterday (it was between -3 and 1)... I walked my kid a mile to school just for the exercise. Anyway, the point is that you don't run out of gas very often because it's such a pain in the ass... you remember the lesson!
Sure, it's fairly temperate. Meaning that -20C for most of the winter is the average, where as the plains/western canada, quebec, eastern provinces, minus BC. The average temperature for most of the winter is -30C with lovely week or month long periods of -40C or greater. When I was working out in Alberta a few years ago, the average winter temperature was -38C, we did have 3 weeks of -45C to -51C with a windchill of -65C. At those temperatures, exposed flesh freezes in about 3 minutes.
The point is, unlike countries where there is no shortage of "nearby" cases where you can get fuel/charge your vehicle and so on. Even here in Southwestern Ontario, we have to go out and save people every winter who get stuck with a sudden 4" snowfall along the 401, 402 and 403 from freezing to death. That's not county the main country roads like Hwy's 6, 10, 11, or the transcanada(Hwy 1).
What "full communism" means is a society without any government at all -- or classes or money for that matter. If you look at "communist states", they actually have all of these things: social classes, currency, and some degree of private ownership.
Really? In the real world this is called "anarchy" I suppose if you think that's full communism, then you're ready for the revolution yesterday.
In fact, in a certain sense "communist state" is a contradiction in terms. Communist regimes knew this, and justified their existence as a vanguard revolution that would bring about communism in the long term. This really wasn't any better, since communist ideology see communism as a natural and historically inevitable outcome of capitalism.
So, the USSR didn't collapse because of communism, mass debt and so on. And Venezuela didn't collapse because of communist policies, and seizing businesses.
That comes later. Indigenous communist revolutions never happened in functioning democracies; they came in societies dominated by wealthy oligarchs, dictators or warlords. I see a lot of parallels with the anti-elitism of Trumpists. They're not ideologues; they're just fed up with the elite and want the swamp drained.
Strange, let's look at Europe and the "rise" of communist ideologies back in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Well look at that, it wasn't wealthy oligarchs, dictators, or warlords. Nope it was the 'enlightened intelligentsia' and wavering economic collapse of various industries. Well let's look at China...damn..what a failure. Cuba? Nope. Vietnam? Nope. You seem to be confusing populism with communism, those are actually polar opposite ideologies in play. Communism wants to replace government with it's own system, and enforce the rule on people. Populism wants the existing system in play to continue, but the bullshit and garbage that's causing harm to society/business/work/etc to stop.
... is a serious problem that is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to fix without giving political power to people who are concerned about it. Nice try casting a rational response into something sinister though.
Where have I heard that one before. We can only fix the problem by giving them more power...
Fascism is a government based on ultra-nationalism, it simply needs authoritarianism to achieve this (read: to silence and suppress their opposition).
And this is the bullshit they teach in school these days? Guess Europe has a real problem with all those communist ultra-nationalist groups for various regions that want independence. Just like the FLQ in Canada, who were communist-ultranationalists wanting a separate Quebec, and built on Marxist-lenninist beliefs.
Sorry, all those cases aren't authoritarianism. Those groups aren't right-wing either. "Fascism" isn't just far-right authoritarianism, amazing to see just how much word redefinition shit as gone through in the last 80 years and how many people have bought into the bullshit.
"It wasn't true socialism!" Sure thing there. So why is it every country that goes full socialist without a capitalist society to back it up, repeatedly failing all over itself.
It couldn't be "full communism" because almost nobody knows what that means now. We live in the Golden Age of Bullshit, where words are used for how they make you feel, not what they mean.
Oh come on. Everyone knows what full communism means, at least if they're over the age of 35. Starvation, government mandated food controls, and the deaths of 10m people dictated by the government, then purges for another 45m on top of it. And we haven't even gotten to "Full Chinese Communism" yet.
Whoever told you either of those two things is an idiot and no one in the mainstream scientific community believes that it will never snow again in those locations. What they probably said (or what the scientists said before twisted by someone somewhere) was, snow will be more rare- but also more extreme when it does occur in those locations.
That came out of the mainstream scientific community, and was promoted by the various government meteorological offices and so forth. In the case of the UK, the MET openly stated that kids wouldn't know what snowfall was by I think it was 2015 or something. It was the same with DC. There was even bullshit like that being spewed up here in Canada, and specifically in Ontario. With metrological and scientists stating that Toronto would no longer see snow. I agree though, winters have generally been mild for oh the last 80 years along the east coast and upper/lower canada for the most part. Knew a few oldsters who grew up in the Ottawa Valley, and as kids in most winters they had to climb out 2nd story windows to get out of their houses. Even down here in Southwestern Ontario, you can find houses with simply a door on the 2nd floor. The reason is simple, late warm periods into October/November/December, the lakes not freezing up until January or sometimes not at all. Then massive cold snaps, and huge storms with 22' snowdrifts or in the rare cases of 18' lake-effect snowfalls. The fact is we've only had off-and-on over the last 20 years early cold spells where the lakes froze up.
Yeah, and this coincides with the earlier point. As the global temperature rises, the cold polar air isn't staying put over the poles anymore- it drifts down one spot- that makes one part of the globe to get unseasonably cold and another part unseasonably warm. So yes- winter now is seeing both an increase in extreme heat AND extreme cold. It's also possible to have a highest global temperature on record whilst the US has a particularly cold season. Global climate change refers to the globe- not local weather conditions. Don't confuse local weather with global change.
Polar air hasn't ever stayed at the poles. Go read the historical weather where it's available, or hell even go read some of the journals of the people who froze to death in first-round communities during their first winters along the US east coast, and upper and lower Canada. The winters were worse then what people experienced in Russia at the time. And within a few decades, those same areas were experiencing rampant malaria and other mosquito borne diseases until the next massive cold snap killed the disease carrying mosquito's off.
Thank you for that well-reasoned screed on how we don't need to do anything about the problem we've created for ourselves and future generations. We should have a monument erected to chisel your words in granite: To future generations: piss off, we don't care about you.
That's not what they said. They said, that rampant fear mongering simply makes them not give a fuck because the same thing has been pushed over and over and over and over again to the point for the last 40-60 years that if it had happened like they said, the world would be: On fire, drowned, and everything would be both dead and alive, while starving from a lack of oxygen and burning alive because there's no ozone layer, while there would be no more snowfalls, and massive snowfalls all at the same time and in the same country. If you're unable to see just how many decades and the level of alarmist crap has been going on, you haven't been paying attention.
You know, socialism and fascism are not actually mutually exclusive in practice.
And yet, so many socialist countries manage to own the means of production AND manage to pull the fascism hat out of their ass all at the same time. East Germany to Venezuela...some things never change.
That's like saying "Stalin was a thousand times better than Hitler" - it may technically be true, but it doesn't imply in any way that Stalin wasn't a gigantic, evil shithead himself.
That one is debatable. Sure Hitler engaged in direct ethnic cleansing. But then again so did the Russians...repeatedly. And you have all those idiots that still think the underlying ideology is perfectly a-okay. It's always been amusing to me, that people screech NAZI bad! But in the same breath screech Communism NAO!
Oh, right! Muslim = terrorist. How silly of me to forget.
Well if you're in Australia, that is sure true. And if you're in Canada too, not forgetting about the muslim who tried to setup a biological weapon on a VIA train through major urban centers. Or the Toronto 18, or the drive-by-jihad in Alberta and the guy running over a dozen people. And they all declared it for one ideology.
I seem to recall the definition of terrorism being acts of violence that were politically motivated. Nothing about religion in there.
Did you forget that Islam is both a religion AND political philosophy AND a code of laws? Oh I guess you did, sure explains why you're not understand this.
So your only concern is that I forget to charge... during a snowstorm? LOL, that there is what we call an edge case.
Edge case? Then why are the response times from say AAA or CAA over 6 hours on average after an event like that?
Yeah, my 3 miles was in warm weather and it still sucked. Actually the walk with the empty can was OK...
And so you get lucky. Right now it's only -3C with a windchill of -9C. So, figure you're not wearing a heavy enough coat, good enough boots, and no gloves. Well you're probably still better off waiting for a car(with a candle lit) if you're say in a small town in Ontario right now.
How is this different from my kids leaving the light on in the Van and waking up to find the battery dead and having to call AMA for a boost (after the 2nd time this happened, I bought my own battery booster). Or any different from coming back the car after work to find a flat tire.
Easy. In both cases, the fixes are fast. You can get a jump, or change the tire yourself. In this case you need to get a charge to the minimum level(around 25%) of the battery before there's enough to engage the electronics and start moving it. Much harder to do when there's no easy source of power within reach.
Right, they exist but aren't exactly ready for consumers to be using day-in day-out.
They likely will never be unless there's such a stratospheric change in safety surrounding them either. That would be putting the battery or pulling it from the vehicle and replacing it with a freshly charged one and/or a fully automated charge system. The amount of crap required to do maintenance on this stuff right now is staggering, everything from grounding lines, to wearing cotten-copper-weave clothing to stop you from getting cooked to death if something went wrong and there is still of enough of a charge in the system. Even then, people still die doing basic maintenance because of safety failures, faulty safety gear, and so on. The safety requirements are actually higher then the people(cable monkey's as we call them over here) who work directly on live high-voltage transmission lines, or live transformer stations.
Just from experience dealing with high voltage lines, machinery, caps, transformers and switching stations, and seeing the serious injuries from people screwing around instills a healthy sense of "we really need massive safety regs" if people are going to be using this stuff to charge cars.
Do you have a cognitive dissonance because the people who allegedly want to be left alone not only have a political party, they also the rulers or is this kind of doublethink just fine?
So let's see if this is right. "They're the rulers" because they hold the government, which is obviously such a large counterbalance to the current stranglehold the left has on education at all levels, news media, media in general, and have held the social standard for the last 25 years.
Maybe the person that's running with the cognitive dissonance, is the person that can't understand why people are saying "enough with this politically correct, progressive, bullshit."
Champagne socialists are still a thousand times better than the I've-got-mine-go-fuck-yourselves conservatives littering this place.
So, the person so massively out of touch that they believe they have the right to your money, the right to restrict your speech, the right to dictate how you live. Are better then the people who want to be left the fuck alone.
I guess when I say "terrorist attack", I think of Oklahoma City bombing, Pan Am Flight 183 or 9/11. The activity that you're talking about are simply things that happen sometimes, but were later labled as "terrorist".
You're trying to move the goal posts. Remember that AUS doesn't have anything like the 2nd amendment, and guns are fairly restricted. That means the methods of "terror" come from other methods for instance, in this case mass stabbings and so on. You should also note that in nearly every case that said AC mentioned, they were religiously motivated by muslim extremists. That does make it terrorism. Just like the "beltway sniper" was a muslim extremist. Or the muslim that shot the war memorial in Ottawa, and then went on a shooting rampage in parliament hill.
lol we already use water cooled cables in heavy industry. Lot of things you have to watch out for too, like the accumulation of hydrogen inside the conduit. But they have to be in heavy gauge shielded conduit as well. 2/0-2/0-2/0-1(that's 3-phase+ground) is pretty common at those voltages and amps you're talking about too. Speaking of which, when they ground or short out at those levels it's right down spectacular too. The copper or aluminum usually flashes out into giant globs of molten metal if it simply doesn't ground out and draw the metal into the grounding surface, the arc flash blinds you for several days, and it's usually hot enough to crack concrete. And that's all before the fuses blow. Not even touching on the rubber, plastic, and conduit when they go up.
Here's the problem to boot, where are you going to get all of this power to charge all of these vehicles when you have the major power producers turning around and pulling the plug on cheap nuclear energy and flipping around with unreliable green energy that can't handle base loads.

Hey this is the amount of of power that PV panel is making at the school schooI went to ~25 years ago. Funny thing it didn't even breach 500kW, that's the sumary of the last week. While at lest in the summer it can hit +900kW
This is the exact same thing happened in Spain and Greece. So did the "green" battery factories in the US that were supposed to be for all those electric cars.

Going to wikipedia for factual information, is like taking your car to a cobbler to have an engine overhaul.

That means the methods of "terror" come from other methods for instance, in this case mass stabbings and so on. You should also note that in nearly every case that said AC mentioned, they were religiously motivated by muslim extremists. That does make it terrorism. Just like the "beltway sniper" was a muslim extremist. Or the muslim that shot the war memorial in Ottawa, and then went on a shooting rampage in parliament hill.
lol we already use water cooled cables in heavy industry. Lot of things you have to watch out for too, like the accumulation of hydrogen inside the conduit. But they have to be in heavy gauge shielded conduit as well. 2/0-2/0-2/0-1(that's 3-phase+ground) is pretty common at those voltages and amps you're talking about too. Speaking of which, when they ground or short out at those levels it's right down spectacular too. The copper or aluminum usually flashes out into giant globs of molten metal if it simply doesn't ground out and draw the metal into the grounding surface, the arc flash blinds you for several days, and it's usually hot enough to crack concrete. And that's all before the fuses blow. Not even touching on the rubber, plastic, and conduit when they go up.
Here's the problem to boot, where are you going to get all of this power to charge all of these vehicles when you have the major power producers turning around and pulling the plug on cheap nuclear energy and flipping around with unreliable green energy that can't handle base loads.
