If a well-respected person criticized Trump in exactly the right way, it might be bad for him. But this is America and we don't have any well-respected people.
And if you want a Trump elected, this sort of thing helps him out a lot. Other things that help him: - any negative comments from Bush or Romney - any negative comments from Mexican government leaders - protests like the ones in Chicago. The more disruptive the protests, the more it helps Trump. - any big business CEOs or Chamber of Commerce leaders speaking out against him - any negative comments from Obama. - any other foreign leaders or celebrities speaking out against him
Don't worry. None of these arguments matter. Nothing that the public wants matters either. Washington insiders are still firmly in control. A Hillary win will guarantee Washington insider control through 2020. No one outside Washington and the billionaire social circles has mattered for a long time. Expect that to continue.
If the choices are (A.) to be ruled over by scientists who don't care about the average person versus (B.) keep individuals in control of their own lives and the general public in control of society and government, then I'll take B, even if it risks some potential future economic growth.
A better choice would be for scientists to care about the average person and value individual choices and popular sentiments.
Yeah, they want to keep the money they earned in their paychecks. How dare they? They think they're entitled to money just because they spend their days working for it? And just because their employer voluntarily offered the money in exchange for the work?
These rightist people have no idea how hard it is to get by for people who don't want to do anything for anyone.
It's an ongoing phenomenon. People who don't do anything for anyone are loudly demanding special treatment for themselves. Why should anyone care what any of these people want when they so obviously don't care about the rest of us?
It's time to start saying "No. Be a better person. Do good things for other people. Show some sympathy and empathy for the rest of us. Then come back and ask us for a favor."
Why should anyone listen to these guys in particular? They don't have any special insight into the lives of the average citizen. You could also ask groups of TV celebrities, or church leaders, or sports stars, or CEOs -- but why would you listen to them either?
Do scientists care about our opinions? How much? Why should we care about their opinions more than they care about ours?
That helps. I don't foresee a lot of applications that have room for those batteries but not for the inverter though. I can definitely see the merit of the complaint that the inverter is too large compared to the batteries. I'd still like to know what makes it very important rather than just something that's nice to have. Maybe nice to have is an adequate motivation for Google...?
Genuine question. The web site talks about inverters being 1-2 cubic feet in size, and it wants them smaller. I understand that smaller is better. What's the application that requires a 2kW inverter smaller than that?
Government regulation of crossword puzzles is the only answer. It's time for the Obama administration to appoint an undersecretary of Commerce for crossword puzzles and word jumbles. Congress must immediately enact the Comprehensive Crossword Puzzle Reform Act of 2016 and fund the new office before it's too late!
Environmentally virtuous lawmakers secured a place for themselves in Environmentalist Heaven today, as they sacrificed inexpensive and reliable coal electricity generation to signal good vibes to Mother Earth. "I'm looking forward to an eternity of drum circles, flaxseed, and all the granola I could ever want!", exclaimed the euphoric Representative Geet Amundsen (D - Salem). "Fossil Fuels are dead!" Representative Amundsen had to hurry to catch a flight to Switzerland for a 10-day ski vacation, so he was unavailable for further comment.
Oregon's electricity rate payers were all unavailable to be interviewed, but we did manage to contact several Oregonians who received electricity through government-paid energy assistance programs. None of them seemed worried that electricity rates might increase.
Oregon will buy non-coal power from surrounding states and Canada at a big premium, outbidding others. Canada and Idaho will use the coal power and pay smaller energy bills.
Protecting the majority from the dominant few is the definition of government.
But regulation mostly doesn't do that. The dominant few influence the policy. Regulations are written so the dominant few can easily comply while suffocating their upstart competitors in their cribs, before they can grow up to be a real threat.

If you want him to win easily, keep it up.
No sympathy for Florida beach house owners?
The precautionary principle tells us we should take these straw men seriously, just in case.
Which "lower wage countries"? I'll link their wage trends. Which direction do you think the trend line will go?
And if you don't support Hillary, you're a sexist. And if you openly oppose Hillary, you're guilty of harassment.
Wage trends in China indicate the "race to the bottom" is actually a race to the middle.

They get it, and you won't.

San Francisco is literally a shithole. They can talk to us about coal after they solve their own problems.

We should care about your problems? Why? Do you care about ours?
Got it. "Arts" people have rights other people don't have. Thanks for letting us know.
Why should we care about their concerns any more than they care about ours?

When the IRS let criminals get your data, no one faced any consequences at all.

Yeah, but solar cells to generate 2 kW are large. The size of the inverter doesn't seem like a limiting factor in that kind of installation.

Government: Wait? They're screwing up, harming the public and menacing business? That's our job!
