  1. Re:It's a complicated thing on Catalonia Declares Independence; Spain Approves Central Takeover Of Region (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    Yes, this. Wasn't the point of the American Civil War, besides the obvious, to convince the rest of the world that it is a really really shitty process and you should all just agree to work it out or split amicably?

  2. Re:Support Right to Independence on Catalonia Declares Independence; Spain Approves Central Takeover Of Region (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    I get what you are saying BUT, what if those "people" you are talking about only count the land owners as people. And only people that own brandy distilleries are allowed to own land. Then your argument is just so much manure. Just the same way the South's was in the Civil War. Caution is the take-away here.

    "We must stop the federal government from intervening in the MONOPOLY business," Pai told a congressional panel. I bet he also tried to gas the jedi sent to negotiate with him.

    Can we start a new political party, the WTF Party? We just want shit to work. Our Symbol can be the poo emoji.

  20. Isn't this a moot point? Many EU countries and China are setting ban dates. Automakers will have to start making electric cars for those markets. Do they really want to run two different plants, one for ICE one for EV. It'll be cheaper for them to switch to all EV. When no one is making millions of ICE cars what is the point of a ban?
