That was true in the 70s. But for the last 20+ years, coal power plants has been America's main emitter. Btw, steel mills will become the new main source for America, even though it is small.
marissa meyers is NOT a tech leader. She is business person that was simply in the tech field. However, to be fair, she has a tech background, but never used it.
Same with Carly Fiorina ( fucking bitch; hope she burns in hell forever when she dies for what she did to bell labs and HP); meg whitman, Ginni Rometty, etc. All of these women have actually been total disasters to the tech field and absolutely are NONE-TECHNICAL.
OTOH, Admiral Grace should have been a HUGE name here.
Sally Ride was extremely tech and made a huge impact.
Lori Graver is one that helped establish new space, but I would not call her technical.
How about the recent movie Hidden Figures? Cathy Johnson? Brilliant tech.
Margaret Hamilton was a huge one in C. Sci.
Then we have Ada Lovelace.
U must be in Texas.
California still remains the most important economy going in America. Hell, CA is now the most important car building state in the nation. It is no longer Michigan. How many new car companies are attempting to start up in CA? Loads.
How about space? CA and Wash are where it is at. Yeah, Texas is getting a luanch pad due to SX, but CA has multiple launch areas. And aeronautics? Well, texas has a some large aviation, but not as much space as CA.
Look, I live in Colorado. Not CA. And I stay here because it is superior to places like CA/Tx. That is why we have so many shit heads like you moving here. BUT, given the choice of texas OR CA, I would take CA in a heartbeat. I lived in Irving and taught for NASA in Houston. No desire to go to such places.
uh, the fact that that there are so many UNFILLED jobs in Texas should speak volumes.
BTW, CA is not my place. I live in Colorado. And I was born in Mississippi, and lived in more than a dozen states, mostly in south ( including Arkansas AND Texas) and midwest. I still Relatives all over Michigan and Ohio who are still various items such as manufacturing. To be fair, both sides of our family has spread around the globe, but, that happens with real education or being part of the military.
BUT, a good example, is that L-mart has the space engineering in Colorado. Where do they manufacturer? Alabama.
Raytheon, Boeing, etc all have engineers in various places, but by far, they have washington, oregon, CA, Colorado, St. Louis (go figure), and yes, some of the east coast.
And I SERIOUSLY doubt that any state in the mid west has more engineers than CA. Tx would not come close.
And yet, CA is not only the largest manufacturer state in America, but they outdo the next 2 combined. The fact is, that highly paid engineers would rather live in CA than.states like Texas, or Alabama, or Mississippi, or...
In both Iraq and Afghanistan, the leaders were voted in, not installed by America.
When Egypt voted in the Muslim brotherhood, we STILL backed it when the army took over, which is why they jumped over to Russia/China for support.
And no, Muslim brotherhood is NOT a fan of America, nor we of them. BUT we did not interfere with them.
Really? How is CNN pro-communist? Being anti-fascist does not make one pro-communist, or even pro-socialist.
And bleeding money? They laid off 50 ppl, while Fox laid off 10,000+, AND is selling itself to Disney. Who exactly is bleeding money?.
in fact, that was the single largest source of lead to Americans back in the 70s. Next came house paint, which ALL contained lead. Any house made before the 70s, has lead on the walls.
What is interesting is that back then, coal plants were a small % of our electricity and lead as well. But after 3-mile island combined with the china syndrome, Coal plants jumped to 60% of our electricity. Needless to say, by mid 80s, they were #1 source of lead and mercury around our nation. Still far less than in China, but enough to impact us. Now, with the mercury clean-up and shutting down of coal plants, I believe that our #1 emitter of lead/mercury is our steel mills. Thankfully, Project Tim in Michigan will kill that off.
yeah, it could not possibly be that the lead in the blood leads to poor health esp in our immune system, which then allows for regular bugs to kill us off. No, not that.
Seriously, either cleaning up or shutting down coal plants is one of the smartest economical things that we did in a while.
Even now, our lead on the ground is a fraction of what it was 10 years ago. As such, our children will have much lower medical costs than what we have today. The rest will be gone over the next 20 years, if not 10.
I would agree that we WERE like that back in the 50s. We re-installed the shah of Iran over a democracy, and then backed him until Carter. Likewise, in the early 1900s, America really messed with South/Central America, similar to what CHina does in SouthEast Asia.
However, all of that stopped clear back with Carter, though reagan was an exception. Even W's invasion of Afghanistan or Iraq was not about economics. Afghanistan was about America rightly (though in the wrong fashion) protecting ourselves from A. Q. and Iraq, was basically payback ( W was a coward and an idiot through and through). Libya was forced on America via NATO. O had no desire to invade, but Italy, France, and a few others pushed that nightmare on America's military (similar to how France got us into Vietnam).
So, no. CHina is running around propping up dictatorships today, while America has pulled back from that BS.
they have a dictatorship now.
Chinese gov will be pushing this on many other nations, esp on their new international road.
With VOC, they will be able to BS their way all around.
Sadly, the one thing that you will NOT hear, is the truth.
This will be far more like regular Chinese news, Pravda, Fox News, or Breitbart.
Just a bunch of propaganda.
What is sad is that VOA made a big todo to NOT spew propaganda, but instead to simply get the facts/truth out.
I will say that with Trump/Today's GOP in charge, I do not know what we are broadcasting anymore.
America learned how to be a great nation by example taking from the many nations of Europe. During post WWII, we were just like the pre WWII Europe in that we happily worked with any Dictator and even installed a few of our own. We were an economic powerhouse, and by the late 60's, LA, Chicago, and NY looked similar to China, though no where quite as bad.
Fortunately, America DID clean up our act.
Now, we have China wanting to bring dictatorships all over the world. Problem is, that so many ppl have been disappointed by the likes of W and now Trump, that many will support china. Combine that with the on-line direct trolling that China gov pats for (/. is LOADED with paid-for chinese trolls), combined with about 5-10% of all chinese tourists/residents being spies for the gov. Then add to that, the fact that so many are happy to have chinese gov a pass. FOr example, Chinese gov continues to build coal plants in china, but another 300-400 plants are being built by china in other nations. Why? Because they are going to sell them their coal once china starts shutting down their coal plants in 2030-2040 time frame.
The problem is that so many here in the west will ignore this and allow it to continue even though CHina accounts for 33-50% of all CO2 being emitted today.
Wrong approach. By not taxing the company, but taxing dividends/gains at same rate as personal, it encourages reinvestment by the company. IOW, growth.
Wrong way. Get rid of all breaks/deductions/exemptions. Then on corporate tax, tax them 25% unless the goods are made-in-america, service is done by Americans, or retail sells made in America. If the exception, tax them ZERO.
As to personal tax, make all money the same; 100K in salary = 100k in dividend = 100K in inheritance = 100k in gains = 100k in gambling wins. Then tax with progressive rate. 0-30K is free . 30-50k is 1%. 50-100k is 5%. 100-250k is 10%. 250-500k is 20. 500k-1m is 25%. Above 1m, do 33%. Keep it simple and fair.

Which dictatorships did America set up in the last 30 years?

This is NOT an anti-lead study. It is a pro-death one. They are simply showing how to accelerate the deaths.
yeah, it could not possibly be that the lead in the blood leads to poor health esp in our immune system, which then allows for regular bugs to kill us off. No, not that.

uh no.
Pedestrians ALWAYS have right-a-way over cars. They may have been Xing illegally, but, she still had right-a-way.
I did. Personal Money obtained on gains/dividends should be taxed like other personal money.
If you can not afford less than 25,000., to obtain 300,000., then you have big problems that do require u to sell the place.
Seriously, if we can predict close to a spot, then should be able to attract it with a lightening rod and capture the electricity.
Seriously, stop it. Instead focus on removing the monopolies, along with allowing muni broadband a. Competition solves this.
How about the suggestion that I gave and then add in a VAT?
Money is money. It does not matter where it came from. As such by taxing all at the same rate, it makes it fair.
Wrong approach. By not taxing the company, but taxing dividends/gains at same rate as personal, it encourages reinvestment by the company. IOW, growth.
Wrong way. Get rid of all breaks/deductions/exemptions. Then on corporate tax, tax them 25% unless the goods are made-in-america, service is done by Americans, or retail sells made in America.

More importantly, he says he wants sales on the goods, but is exactly what fuel taxes are. Yes, he is foolish.
