For the foreseeable future there will be common spaces: roads, sidewalks, parks. This is area that we all own, It's analogous to several couples sharing a brownstone (yes I'm a NYC guy). We may come to an agreement that pissing in the sink and having s3x in the common area is verboten. Cool. We came to an agreement on how to share our space.
This is the responsibility of the DoE and congress. What do we do with our nuclear facilities? Do we update them? Build new ones? Moth ball the existing?
This is a question of science and politics.
The Trump administration wants to increase US wealth by not sending jobs and money elsewhere. Whether that makes sense or not we'll see. Free market types tend to disagree. Socialists tend to agree. (However most socialist leaning types would never, never,never agree with that evil Trump dude.)
I think that coal is not on the forefront of the Trump administration (or most of the coal workers). What is on the forefront are blue collar jobs whether it is fracking, building a pipeline, or installing and repairing windmills as opposed to sending our money to Saudi Arabia and their band of merry misfits.
"Free market libertarian types don't give a f**k about those examples"
They are also vanishingly rare in politics. Plenty of posers, though.
In elected office yes - but not as far as voters are concerned. I would place 5-10% of the Republican party in this camp (as regards pornography, speech, markets -- not drugs).
Re elected officials I would put most of the Freedom Caucus in this category. They are large enough to be heard.
100% agree. It is a property rights issue. So the alternative would be dropping fire crackers and shooting gunman in a crowded public space knowing full well that there would be a panic and there would be a reasonable assumption that people might get hurt.
So then Libertarians and free-market atheists are not "Right"?
Antifa would disagree.
Free market libertarian types don't give a f**k about those examples - and except for a limited few no one on the right wants to make laws regarding blasphemy. Sexually explicit material is fine for most except for being front and center to children - that limitation is not on the item but the presentation. Remember we're talking about the "Right" in 2017, not 1957.
Remember "Right" doesn't mean anything. It just means "Not Left."
Why do I say that? Because individualism != collectivism.
Atheism != Theism
Free Market capitalism != Corporatism != State Regulated Economy
So if an individualist, atheist and free market person such as Ayn Rand is Right Wing then a proponent of a state regulated economy, a collectivist, and theist, such as Patrick Buchanan cannot be Right Wing (and vice versa).
As mentioned earlier "Right Wing" today simply means "Not Let". And "Far Right" means "Really, Really Not Left".
This is something that both the Left and Right should get together on. Free Speech means just that. The government should not censor thought and its expression,. And, Yes there can be very limited limitations such as the incitement to IMMEDIATE violence.
"Kill X now." x={blacks,whites, jews, christians, muslims, Trump, Obama, Bush...}
or creating a panic situation such as FALSELY crying fire in a crowded theater.
I worked construction putting myself through school. Every once in a while OSHA would come by and give the company hundreds of violations for NOTHING. I once got 7 violations for one act.
Not wearing a hard hat (only sky above me).
Welding without an apron, gloves or shield (I was f**king tacking a piece of metal to a column to use a holder. You look away for the 2 seconds (literally).
Working on an area without a secure floor and without it being roped off (we were putting up the f**king decking - hence my tacking a piece of metal - not to mention that the entire area (before the decking) didn't have a working floor.
The company got over 200 violations that day - all BS.
It's no skin off my nose but don't tell me the OSHA's actions were legitimate. I smell corruption there on the part of OSHA (pay us or you'll get fines).
No bureaucracy is flawless. No bureaucracy should function with impunity and without oversight.
The EPA just happens to one of the worst bureaucracies out there. Cut the crap that it's a benevolent agency, just protecting us from evil corporations.
That did not address the point I was making. Dismissing people as stupid because they disagree with you is not conducive to a free society. Citizens communicate with each other; persuade each other (soap box); and accept the results of elections (ballot box).
The alternative to being a citizen is be a subject to a ruling class. Your choice.
Disagree with someone. Fine. Don't simply dismiss your opponents as stupid or evil or fascist (when they're not). That road leads to only one end.
I'm for Brexit. According to the OP then I'm stupi (or to put it more precisely I was for a "stupid thing").
I don't think Brexit is stupid. I think the EU has overstepped it's bounds and is now a runaway bureaucracy.
No matter the view point it is foolish to simply ignore your opponents as simply "stupid." Even young-earthers should not be so simply swept away. Their arguments must be met. This holds true with tenants of Islam, with flat-earthers, with 911 hoaxers, etc.... Meet the arguments head on.
Yeah. If the do-gooders impose higher and higher sin taxes (say on cigarettes) and then wonder why a peaceful transfer of products turns violent as people inevitably try to avoid the onerous tax.
You want a smaller prison population? Do not criminalize everything. Limit as much as possible police enforcement to violence and theft.
The corner stone of a free society is the agreement that:
"I will not try to kill you and take your stuff If you don't try to kill me and take my stuff."
There have been more than enough interviews of coal miners and people in those districts who KNOW coal isn't coming back. Coal is shorthand for blue collar job. Being pro-coal means that you are not ignoring or devaluing the work and contribution done by coal miners, farmers, and tradesmen.
I did not vote for Trump but it resonates with people. You may think it's bullshit. You may think Trump is conning them. He may be. I'm not a fan. But it's clear (at least to me and millions of others) that "coal" means more than pickaxe and coal furnaces.
The Democrat's rejection of the pipeline shows the abandonment by the Democrats of labor. Part of the Dem coalition is now lost - not forever as I don't think a Mitt Romney would ever win them over. But interestingly - a Trump did.
Trump isn't for "coal" per se. Neither are most of his supporters. What counts are blue collar jobs, which aren't necessarily brain dead jobs for brain dead people.
Wind and solar are here and will soon be a dominant energy source. Yeah.
But that doesn't mean to ridicule people (and of course then wonder why they don't vote for your candidates).
Even if we had bad relations with Canada they are not actively spreading religious bigotry such as Saudi Arabia.
Putting up trade barriers is not the best thing. Creating 3000 page "free-trade" deals is not necessarily the best thing either. (And I had great hope that NAFTA would be a plus - plus for all involved.)
The Saudi government spreading their disgusting version of Islam is a major fu(king problem.
Yes the America of the future needs to have a top-down bureaucracy to tell us what to do.
I love the attempt to bring free-market capitalism into the mix. (Now Republicans != free market) but Pudzer was for free market. I'm fairly confident in Gorsuch so here is a thank you to Trump from someone that was a #NeverTrump.
One thing we do know is that progressivism != America that "we knew and love".
Modern day progressivists are like Red Guard and French Revolutionists - getting ever so purer. You mufuka's have truly jumped the shark.
I don't think you understand the concept "fungible" applies in this instance. So you should put your sarcasm in check.
Fungible applies in situations where the economic activity does not affect global supply and demand.
This is a game changer. It brought down global prices by 50%+.
We do have to reduce demand. You can accomplish this easy by putting the economy into a free-fall. Destitute people use far less energy than middle-class people who run air conditioners, go out to dinner and go on vacations. And that's what the people in the mid-west know. You're approach is fk-them.
You'll clock me? Zip it. Oh, and by the way Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio and Pennsylvania clocked you. Got it?

So inefficient bureaucracies cannot be filled by people with science degrees?
A bureaucracy is not necessarily a GOOD THING - even if they are populated by people with STEM degrees as opposed to attorneys and MBAs.
aren't you a fking bigot with that "aint 'merka grate?" line.

She was a one term senator and a secretary of state for one term. She was not particularly distinguished in either role.
Oh. She was the wife of a governor and president. Sorry Charlie, that doesn't count.
Hey thug culture is not part of the gun / pro-second Amendment crowd. You're willfully ignorant if you think so.
I think he had an invisible /sarc at the end of his statement. :)
Yeah. If we criminalizing things.

It's a pretty effing poor plan from your perspective. You must think crack was created and spread by the US government as well.

Never said that the Keystone pipeline was the one and only answer. Never was concerned about Muslims in general - only fanatical as$wipes.

by the way I never thought Obama was born in Kenya - and in case it matters I didn't vote for Trump.
But thanks for showing why the Democrats lost Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
