are just regular fires. Disasters happen. Folks are used to that.
wut. What on earth is regular about these fires? I avoid mainstream media as much as possible but I've seen plenty of pictures and video the absolute hellscape of Californian communities that are now simply gone. It's by far the worst fire California has ever had.
Doing something on climate change would only benefit their checks if it lead to new jobs for the folks who'll be put out of work.
Putting up wind farms and solar panels would employ vastly more people than the fossil fuel industry does. Running high speed rail through the United States would employ even more, and do so for decades as the US caught up to where Europe was in the Thatcher administration.
That kind of infrastructure needs government backing to make happen. And that means taxes.
No new taxes needed - just take a trillion dollars out of the annual imperial budget and you'd have more than enough to do all of the above plus provide free health care and education while eliminating homelessness. But even if taxes were increased, the cost to taxpayers would be more than offset by the increased wages during the boom.
Warren? She hasn't changed a bit since she was a staunch Republican all the way through the Reagan/Bush years. She's not left - she only looks left because Democrats have moved so far to the right, which has forced the GOP to move into the insane asylum.
Climate change is years from now, rent's due at the end of the month.
Rent is indeed due next month - but come again on climate change? It's costing hundreds of billions each year and killing people just here in the United States - see the recent forest fires in California for just one example.
The other thing is that doing something on climate change would vastly improve the paycheck of the shmoe trying to pay rent next month. Replacing coal plants with wind and solar, and building out electric mass transit, would be the biggest jobs bomb the world has seen since WWII.
You may not be paying for it when you use it, but it's being paid for though taxation. It's not free, far from it.
Good thing that's a straw man then. The "free" in free health care, free higher education, free public transportation is free to use . Same as it's free for you to use any of the public roads or highways without paying a toll to use them. Which none of the people who complain about the cost of mass transit had a problem with when it was time to spend trillions to construct them.
Summary not just written and powered by smarmy Hatorade, its a honey pot for the same. You know Zombie Steve isn't holding a gun to your heads, right? You are perfectly free to buy an Android phone - even if it comes with a notch and costs just as much as an iPhone XR.
I'm not sure how they did it, but their head of marketing must be a genius.
If it's only marketing, why didn't another company with superior products and/or prices put Apple out of business decades ago? It's not like Steve Jobs placed snipers on Madison Avenue to keep competitors from running their own advertising.
With the exception of China, those are all examples of the Soviet tomato to the US/UK's ta-mah-toe, of setting up compliant capitalist toady regimes (with dozens of military bases for American occupiers) after WWII that I already mentioned. Having suffered two devastating foreign invasions in 130 years (plus a smaller one from the US/UK after WWI) Soviet Russia wanted a buffer of their own. Which, after the fall of the USSR, the United States made clear was totally irrational, when it doubled the size of NATO and expanded it all the way to Russia's border, before overthrowing a former bloc country in a coup.
Not where I live. A house where termites have devoured the foundation is going to see its value go in the crapper and doused with Montezuma's Revenge. So I guess if I move I'll have to rely on home inspectors if appraisers follow the Sherry Bobbins method.
Nope. Al Queda split from the state/ruling elite supported version of Wahhabism long ago.

Polls that far our from an election are not that reliable and are rather meaningless.
Two months is "far out"? There's also the fact that studies of exit polls show only one state, Ohio, flipping from Clinton to Bush if Perot wasn't in the race, under the "votes belong to candidates" theory (see scare quotes again). Which still would have seen Clinton in the White House, not Bush. Look, this isn't hard: Bush had a bad recession to deal with AND shot himself in the foot when he brook his "read my lips" pledge. All this "Perot took the election from Bush" stuff is just partisan butthurt to deny legitimacy to someone you don't like. SSDD when the Birthers said Obama couldn't be president because he was born in Kenya, or Hillbots desperately trying to project her Russian problems (Uranium One, paying Russians for campaign dirt via the Steele Dossier) onto Trump.
And I say that as someone who thinks the country would be infinitely better off today if Perot had won. No NAFTA, no deathgrip on power from the duopoly that answers to the same set of donors, and no codependant relationship between right wing corporate democrats and right wing freakshow republicans.
That set the stage for Nader tipping the race to Bush. In the county that decided the election by 500 votes, Nader took away from Gore a net 12K votes. That was a decisive results at the critical time and place. Unlike Buchannon, etc. Sorry, you can't wave away such a decisive single event.
Aside from the arrogance and unearned sense of entitlement in thinking that parties own votes, you're also ignoring remedial math. A democratic vote "owed" to Gore did twice as much damage to his chances when it went to Bush as someone voting third party. Not only was a vote for Bush not a vote for Gore, it was, you know....a vote for Bush. So mathematically you're still trying to claim 12k is a huge number but 600k (double damage) isn't worthy of mention. It takes a powerful level of willful dumbfuckery to do that. To walk past twenty five Bush Democrats to wag your finger at a single Democrat who voted for Nader (who also "took" votes from Bush, another face you're ignoring).
Moreso when a statewide recount shows Gore would have won under any scenario. Even moreso when you have no blame for Lieberman getting illegally cast military votes counted, Kathleen Harris purging 70,000 voters from rolls while she ran both the state election and Bush's state campaign, the GOP legislature, the GOP candidate's governor brother, the Supreme Court where two of the justices should have recused themselves for blatant conflict of interest, or Gore himself for not bothering to appeal to Green Party voters or go on contesting the election. Because why let a little willful. dumb. fuck. er. eee. get in the way of a good smear of anyone to the left of a conservative democrat.
Nuclear needs protection from harassment lawsuits (and idiot judges). The average nuclear plant spends multiple times as much money on the cost of money as it does actually building a plant - and it is entirely the fault of Greenpeace and their anti-science ilk.
Those lawsuits and regulations prevent a Fukushima disaster from being commonplace, fanboy. When nuke plant operators can raise 100% of the construction costs, 100% of the decomissioning costs, 100% of the waste storage costs for thousands of years in advance, then you can call us. Oh, and if all plant operators and the board of directors have to live on plant grounds, and stay there through any accident or meltdown. Until then, piss off.
The most obvious proof that world leaders know nuclear power is just a boondoggle, good only as a support to military nuclear? When Iran announced they wanted to build nuclear power plants, no one believed them for a second.
Except for the CIA and Mossad, who will both admit that Iran has no nuclear weapons program. Iran has been in compliance not just with the NPT (as opposed to the USA) but the Iran "deal", even after Trump pulled out, even though it has harsh inspection provisions that no other NPT signatory has to go through.
Doubt you'd think so if you were looking at a house and the appraiser found a termite infestation. Or that much of the electrical work would have to be replaced because it wasn't installed to code. Etc, etc. But lets go ahead and say there are a large number of licensed appraisers who are little more than scammers. Okay. But that will be insignificant next to the number of scams that home buyers will be subjected to if home sellers and real estate agents can skip that process.
There is no confusion. Both are being opposed, the Al Qaeda backed Sunni jihadists
Not by Saudi Arabia, they aren't. Al Queda is Saudi Wahhabism's foreign legion.
... as proven by the trajectory of the race...
There goes your credibility.
Here comes your projection. Clinton was leading Perot and Bush before Perot dropped out, and that's just a fact that Clinton haters will have to deal with. As well as Perot never recovering from his cracking under pressure.
Exit polling indicates Nader took about 12K democratic votes away from Gore in a race decided by around 500 votes.
In a race where three. hundred. thousand. registered Democrats voted for Bush. That FAR more members of their own party were free to vote for the Republican candidate while the paltry number who voted for Nader are to be tarred and feathered, is just another sign that the Democrats are just another party of right wing assholes. One that hates the left more than the GOP does. This myth also ignores the fact that Buchanan "took" more than 500 votes from Bush. Scare quotes because parties have to earn votes, they aren't entitled to them.
Good, good. Let the capitalist butthurt flow through you.
There was also the publicly traded British East India company that spend a few hundred years invading and occupying India. There were the publicly traded coal companies that paid their workers starvation wages - in company scrip that could only be redeemed at company stores. Or the publicly traded companies that sold asbestos or cigarettes long after they knew the health effects while lying to the public, the publicly traded war contractors that make robot planes that blow up children....could go on all day.
Capitalism, like colonialism, is one of the worst inventions mankind has ever produced. Facts.
And I can openly declare my intention to win a Superbowl, but the chances of my fat ass even making it to see the game (much less play in it) are slim to none, and Slim's on his way out of town. Can you even name one country that the Soviets overthrew the way the CIA overthrew the elected governments of Iran and Chile (plus dozens of others)?
Going with the Warsaw Pact countries is problematic, as that was the tomato to the US/UK setting up capitalist regimes across western Europe. I know you know just how hard the west fucked Russia over by installing Yeltsin, so the Soviets weren't acting out of paranoia when they wanted a buffer against western aggression.
The original poster specified 1969. That ain't a typo. It's IGNORANCE of history.
As the original poster, I'm perfectly aware of the fact that Israel started the 1967 war by first claiming that they were defending themselves from an Arab attack, and when that turned out to be total BS, switched to claiming it was about the blockade of the Straits of Tiran. Which, according to Zionist reasoning, means that any and all Palestinian attacks in response to the blockade of Gaza are completely justified.
Socialism thrives on death and destruction because Socialism can't create ANYTHING. Look at Venezuela, Russia, Cuba.
This is why you should stop huffing the taint of capitalism - as Venezuela's economy is still 4/5 capitalist. Which means that if you want to blame Venezuela's issues on anything, 4/5 of that blame needs to fall on capitalist heads.
Hand wave as much as you want, it wont change the fact that Clinton was leading Bush and Perot before the latter dropped out. And that's coming from someone who thinks Slick Willie should be in the Hague for war crimes.

As opposed to your belief system, which is built on next-generation vaporware.
The world "needs" nuclear power like a house on fire needs gasoline. Nuclear power is far to expensive and risky to justify its existence.
Those lawsuits and regulations prevent a Fukushima disaster from being commonplace, fanboy.
