I'm not speaking of you personally, but of what I have read of 'progressive goals' - such as from the UN site where 'sustainable development' is discussed.
The anti-coal crap that makes electricity generation nearly impossible in rural states in "flyover country" - not necessarily doing this , but doing it a) in the timeframe that it was being done and b) with the specific requirements done.
I'm not a Democrat and I agree with you. Unfortunately, the progressive goal - quite stated, especially when you start discussing 'sustainable development' - which is enshrined in leftist policy - is to force people into big cities. The fact that they are more easily controlled in large constellations - I'm sure that's just a byproduct, not part of the design.
I've lived in New Jersey and I've lived in Massachusetts. My observation is that Democrats - white ones, anyway - say a bunch of things, but watch what they DO. The white wine drinking liberals all quietly fold up their tents and vanish when blacks move into their neighborhoods. They encourage black girls to get abortions. Feminist colleges in western Massachusetts do a boatload to make women helpless - they can't even use a freaking plunger for goodness' sakes. And they tell straight young women there is something wrong with them 'cause if they're not gay they aren't "real" feminists.
No, the left speaks a good line. In terms of actually doing things, they do incredible harm, and cause more depression, disease, despondency, and suicide.
And it forces us not to have data stored anywhere, not to fly on airlines, etc. We are at the 1984 book for its restrictions - we're just not there in terms yet of violent repression. That's coming, thanks to the boomers AND the SJWs, to whom "freedom from" is more important than "Freedom to"
Oh for crying out loud. You use credit cards, do you not? Don't say "We won't give in" - because you already have.
Now, if you pay cash for stuff, encrypt your data securely, etc. I can say "No you won't give it."
But for most people? They don't give a rip.
It's merely the left pointing out that they are, in fact, thugs.
During 8 years of an Obama Presidency, this didn't happen. Oh, I'm sure there were isolated wack jobs, but not that we heard much about - and given the overwhelming lefty bias of journalism, we would have. But since Trump became President we have insanity, where the left is showing how lunatic it actually is.
Don't forget, in those days the left supported Israel, because they were mostly socialist. Now, they're merely showing their hatred for principles and the audacity not to want to be a victim of genocide, again.
Unfortunately you cannot say that (say) Amazon is the only example of capitalism. Many German companies are very profitable yet have collaborative management-labor relations.
Ultimately the uber-vigilante teamsters who want to strike over everything or the uber-employee abusive Amazon are "eating their seed corn" - who on earth would want to work at Amazon at this point given all that 's come out? And UPS will go the way of the "Big 3" car makers if the teamsters continue to get more..and more...and more beyond what their productivity will allow.
Yeah. Even when I was still a LEO - I hesitated stopping to act as possible backup for a fellow officer on a traffic stop 'cause he wouldn't know who I was if I didn't have a radio with me at the time. *I* never wanted to see that happen UNLESS I knew his car so well that I knew who it was instantly.
which I think agrees with my point; perhaps the need here is lifestyle modification, most significantly, more exercise. Of course, some folks can have genetically high cholesterol. But does that cause damage? Or is there something wrong? Not sure.
"At the government level" - such as what? A carbon tax? The folks in DC aren't hugely good at being careful with money - and I presume you wish to give them more?
It isn't clear to me that it doesn't work on the brain, indirectly, too.
Yesterday I read that Canola (rape seed) oil as sold in the US apparently caused cognitive decline and weight gain in mice. Since consumption of canola is supposed to lower cholesterol, I wondered if the alzhiemers that this contributed to in mice might be related to the decline in cholesterol in blood going to the brain.
Sometimes I wonder if the way to stop plaque buildup on arteries is NOT to lower cholesterol, but inflammation. And of course, use exercise to help eliminate excess blood cholesterol.
But nobody wants a straightforward way to stay healthy, no no.
You can see this already. In all but one hospital I have been in - not a huge number, but several - visiting patients etc. there isALWAYS lavish marble tiled atrium etc.

A 1960s court case said that LE does not protect individuals - it maintains social order and cleans up after crimes. Period.
Possibly. Or maybe just being back in a culture that is 'home,' speaking one's native language, getting one's native foods, etc.

And your point is what? How many red states were punished from 08-16? I can think of several offhand. Is it right? No. Is it politics as usual? Yes.

But the progressive goal is absolute destruction of anyone who dares to disagree with them. QED.

Indeed, this is one of the lies the left has all the time. It's just amazing. THEY were, and are, the real racists.

You have no idea whether this is actually happening - and this other whining is merely a smokescreen.

My observation is that this is absolutely the case. But I don't know 'all' young liberals or even most of them.
I call them 'the 40s typing pool' offices.
Indeed. I'd argue that the German way is better, frankly.
I can see in those cases where drugs might be absolutely necessary.

This trust fund has been plundered for decades, too. What does an 'investment' in a t-bill mean?
