  1. It is indoctrination. You just think that's a good thing. Think for yourself, for once in your life.

  2. Baseless my ass.

    I have still not heard a reasonable, non-corrupt explanation for why the bribe flow into the Clinton global fund dried up just when Hillary had time for her charitable work. Do you have one? If you don't, you need to accept that she _was_ 'openly and notoriously corrupt'.

    It's possible that an honest person could have believed what you say, until the day after Trump won and all the brides going to Clinton went away.

    Nobody cares what the Ruskys claim it costs them. They care what the Ruskys charge. Which is MUCH more than $60/million per flight. Rather $80 million per seat.

    Idiot. It's theater. You want to make theater required by law.

  5. Because the alternative was even worse! Duh. She was openly and notoriously crooked, her supporters didn't care, because vagina. Open corruption is a line that should not be crossed.

    You should be paying for your own defense, we were fine doing it in 1946, you nation is no longer flattened. Be grownups, stop being leeches. You might have to cutback on 'bread and circuses' for your parasite class.

  6. Delusions aren't necessarily harmless. Especially once they get the power of law behind them.

  7. The political equivalent of 'flat earther' is 'socialist'.

    None will own their body count, it's all 'no true socialist', everytime. Fuck them.

  8. Give out more deer tags. Rednecks aren't naturally limited to any number for deer/year.

  10. Recycling means reuse. Not perpetual reuse. If that was the definition, recycling would be almost non-existent. Almost nothing can be reused forever.

    Are you saying that's an argument for recycling theater?

    Nobody is ignoring the cost of landfill, it is just the cheapest, by far. Making people sort and wash their trash into 32 streams that all end in the landfill is just the _stupidest_ of all outcomes. Unless you're just trying to train people to do as they are told.

    What if the cost of recycling/collecting makes it cheaper to just burn it now and leave some crude in the ground?

    I'm not convinced crude will be more expensive in 50 years. It's by no means guaranteed. Economic replacements are going strong.

    No. But Soyuz is man rated. Soyuz is 81 million a seat. 243 million a flight.

    Falcon 9 is 62 million/launch for commercial flight. NASA flight is more (NASA has lots of rules), and Man rated version will no doubt be even more.

    Maybe burning plastic _is_ the appropriate way to handle that waste?

    Unless you can find someone to work for $0.05/hour you can't afford to 'recycle' it, though burning it is technically recycling it.

    What is the fuel value of plastic vs the energy inputs to make new? What is the fuel cost of recycling? Cost is a good proxy, not perfect, but good. The cheapest thing is almost certainly also the greenest.

    Because to economically recycle plastic, it has to be source sorted by recycling # (which reflects chemistry).

    Which means you need to have a half dozen plastic recycle bins, imputes a value of $0.01/hour to your time.

    Also colored glass and paper is almost never actually recycled.

    The bastards do this, because the sorting time looks free to them. They should be kicked square in the balls/cunt.

    A significant % of exempt employees aren't _working_ 8 hours/week. But they put in a ton of facetime.

    If they were hourly, their bosses would manage them differently and they would have to game it very differently.
