You are right there are too many people that abuse the legal system for ideological goals at the expense of science and proper governance. What do you propose we do to stop ideological leftists and power hungry democrats from doing that?
What would the basis of lawsuits against solar and wind be?
Perhaps you don't understand the idea behind "frivolous lawsuit". The point isn't to have a valid claim but to stop construction and raise costs to the point the company never builds again or goes bankrupt. Preferably both.
The problem is not using science to drive policy. Driving policy based on politics and ideology is bad. That is why those frivolous lawsuits that have crippled the nuclear industry are bad. No industry can survive that kind of crap. Do I really need to explain this to you?
Maybe you don't see the significance of the NRC actually approving the construction of new reactors after years of doing nothing. But I do and I don't think you are an honest broker with anything related to politics.
If solar and wind faced the same kind of lawsuits and red tape then those companies would be going bankrupt just the same. Years in delays for approvals and certification slowed by frivolous lawsuits to the point that construction is halted all together. If that is the only way solar, wind, and other renewable energies can compete then we are going to have some problems.
>why didn't he do it then? I could give a couple guesses but it doesn't really matter because it would have needed the support of democrats to pass during that 2 years just like now.
>offered 25 billion With other conditions that are not being discussed now so is irrelevant.
> that ship has sailed Then we keep the government shutdown.
>bamboozle fucktard sychopants like you I am still uncertain why the Democrats are shutting down the government and what principle they are upholding. All I can gather from them and you is that "fuck trump and fuck anyone that remotely defends him." Democrats are acting like children and you are acting like a deranged child.
>feel free to donate Funny, there was a crowdsource to fund the wall. It got a lot of money in a very short order of time but short of the 1 billion goal. Yet, you and the democrats are willing to shutdown everything from an unprincipled position for a small amount of money because.... Orange man bad.
Right. I lack empathy and am a miserable human being for giving advice that can help people. You sound like you have never had any financial trouble in your life and yet have the audacity to shit on personal experience that can actually help and is easier to do than dealing with a repossession, foreclosure, or pay-day loans.
We should shut down the government over a minuscule amount of money (compared to federal budget) that democrats have supported because he said a stupid lie?
Maybe you have problem reading. "Shit happens in the real world" is an unexpected payment or an income disruption. The point of trying to save is to help when shit does happen.
Do you think that entire 40% paycheck to paycheck that can't handle any kind of disruption or payment have budgets? Do you think if those 40% had a budget that number would be lower?
Somehow you can turn "40% live pay check to pay check unable to handle a unexpected payment or income disruption" into a "Fuck the poor" thing.
Do you think there are more than one way to lower that number? Do you think maybe personal responsibility is a big part part of why people live paycheck to paycheck (hint, living paycheck to paycheck doesn't imply poor)? Is your ability to think any idea restricted to stupid class division?
Yeah, the parties blame each other as often as they can because that is what politics is. Congrats you have learned politics 101. Be more sympathetic and less repulsive than the other guy while convincing as many people as possible that you are more sympathetic and less repulsive. A shutdown, which isn't a good thing, should be blamed on 'the other guy' because 'they' keep screwing up and if voters vote for 'me' and 'my party' then I will save the day.
Funny thing about the ACA and wall comparison. The ACA directly affected many citizens that were unhappy with that affect is why they were passionate to end it. Just like, many people being negatively affected by illegal immigration in one way or another and are very passionate about it and the wall.
Go figure that people that are hurt by policy are passionate about ending that policy that hurts them. I wonder if people during the great leap forward would be passionate about ending it if they weren't too busy starving to death and not able to vote for a new government.
I find it funny "always blame the Dems". when the dems are not acting on principle and I am less sympathetic to their position because of their lack of principle. I am not a partisan. You sound like one though.
People can't create a personal budget to save money that can help them when a car drops the transmission, etc because they have debt and kids?
Perhaps, you have never gone to bed hungry or ate food out of trash can but I can assure you that if someone doesn't have a personal budget they will be able to save some money if they create one.
Saving money is hard. But having a mustard sandwich and drinking water for dinner to not have hunger pains until you sleep is very much easier than dealing with pay-day loans, debt collectors, foreclosure, and repossession.
A late start is better then never starting. Many people don't have a budget which is probably why there is 40% of people that live pay check to pay check. I don't think it will ever be 0% but it can certainly be lower even if there are kids and/or debt.
Don't get me wrong, I am sympathetic but 40% not able to afford an unexpected expense or brief income disruption is not displaying the personal financial prowess of many Americans.
Personal financial responsibility requires living with parents rent free? That's news to me.
I understand that we are at an all time high with multi generational homes but that is largely a separate issue.
Everyone needs or should have personal financial responsibility. Not everyone is affected by the reasons for the new high of multi-generational homes (college expense is a big factor FWIU).
Saving money on a budget really isn't anymore harder than getting completely broad-sided by an unexpected payment or income disruption and having to deal with the reality of that situation.
Going to bed hungry sucks. Eating the same crappy rice and beans for a month sucks too. Having holey shoes is no fun when it rains or snows. Inhibiting impulses to buy something with the savings collected is hard too.
But those are easier than dealing with pay-day loans and financial uncertainty when laid off or furloughed.
I have been there and I have done all those things and it's easier than dealing with daily calls from debt collectors.
Everyone is sympathetic to government shutdowns. I see banks, phone companies, and utilities all offering some kind of "assistance" to those affected. I don't think I have seen similar helping hands toward lay offs.
Basically, stop living paycheck to paycheck. I think only 40% in the US do but if you can't handle a disruption or an unexpected payment then you're doing personal finance wrong.
It is never Trump policy. It was more than just Schumer.
Picking this moment highlights the democratic platform being "I stand for everything he doesn't stand for.". It highlights the childish position the democrats have taken since Trumps election.

It takes two to make a fight. Both are to blame for a car crash if they play a game of chicken even if one pushes the gas first.
I don't understand why the democrats are fighting so hard over something so small.
McConnell said he will only vote on bills that has the support of Trump. Pelosi is not doing anything that has Trumps support.
It takes two to fight.
Budgets in the senate require 60 votes. They needed democrat support then just as they need it now.
why wasn't this $5b funded when Republicans held both houses?
The Republican House did pass the funding in December but there were not enough Democrat senators to support it and it died.
The lack of democratic senators is the same reason why it didn't happen earlier. You can't do much in the senate with a simple majority.
12 module SMR to be online in mid 2020s a snails pace?
Glad you recognize it was shitty. Next time, if you want to have a conversation to understand a point of view or argue points, don't do that.
