Wrong. Every time you buy or sell anything to the EU, or the UK, or China, or South Korea, or Australia, or Canada, you are paying a carbon tax.
You just don't see it on your US price.
No way around it. It's baked in. Doesn't matter what you do, if you don't have a carbon tax in your state or province, you are paying one at the other end of the transaction.
No amount of jawboning will change that basic fact.
Actually, comrade, you are paying carbon taxes. Every time you buy an imported good or service, or sell a good or service overseas, you are paying a carbon tax there.
If you live in a state or province with a carbon tax, the tax remains here, but if you have no carbon tax in your state or province, you pay the carbon tax overseas.
Paying a carbon tax locally puts money in your local economy. Not paying a carbon tax locally puts money in their local economy, not yours.
While change in China, the largest emitter, and India, soon to become the largest emitter, are both critical, the fact is that both the US and Canada are also changing. People look at the US as if population and GDP and emissions were evenly distributed.
They're not.
The vast overwhelming majority of industry, commerce, and people are in areas that are reducing emissions and becoming more efficient.
One of the reasons why the flyover states are dying is their lack of efficiency and investment in more efficient processes. We're literally outcompeting them, using fewer resources to do a better job, and creating fewer emissions, while increasing the percentage of green energy that feeds that.
You can't save coal. You can't even save fossil fuels. They're doomed. The markets care nothing for your failed religion of fossil fuels. And the US and Canada will be leaders no matter what insanity happens in the White House and Congress, because we are investing in cleaner more efficient technology today. Here. And we're outcompeting you.
1. The vast majority of new cars in 2025 will be all electric or electric-biodiesel. This is true. Licenses and parking will become harder to find and more expensive for fossil fuel vehicles. You literally won't be able to drive fossil fuel cars into most major cities, except if you want to pay a toll on average of $10 and a surcharge on parking.
2. Many older cars will continue to operate, because old people and afficionados will do that.
3. Most younger people have already stopped buying non-electric cars, in fact Seattle is one of the top fast growing cities with decreasing car ownership. Only old people buy cars.
Most credit unions don't have "out of network" fees. Most cities have multiple credit unions with multiple branches, and you can deposit and withdraw without a fee at any of the multiple credit unions multiple branches and multiple ATMs.
My son went to Japan using his credit union credit card and debit card and had less trouble in 2017 than I did when I travelled with him to France in 1997 and 2000 using bank cards.
the continual additions of resource-heavy snooping spyware and telemetry services for in-app advertising delivery hammer many institutions that would otherwise happily install security patches, if they were JUST security patches.
But many of the Important patches we have recieved from MSFT are just that. Ads, telemetry to try to sell us stuff that blows out the bandwidth in mission critical software and pops up things that get in the way of doing actual work.
There's your problem. That and the "patching" of things in a way that breaks apps that believe the public documentation instead of the actual way MSFT codes and tests its apps.
In going through Engineering Calculus and Engineering Physics, it became fairly obvious that some of the students were collaborating in team homework sessions, and labs, borrowing text and illustrations from each other. Apparently this is considered normal nowadays.
I'm not saying that working in a group and "hey I'm stuck on 5, this is what I get, what did I do wrong" kind of thing, but more of a "from our twenty people, two each work on 1,11,21,31 and so on, and if we agree, pool the answers and randomize the text you write it down with" and a "here are the six sections of the lab, you four redo this graphic differently for each team and write down this text in a different order" kind of thing.
Sad.
The easy way to tell was many of them would skip the class sections.

Oh you sad sad person.
You actually think you can avoid paying a foreign carbon tax by posturing.
You have no idea how the world works, do you?

Don't like it? Tough.

Perhaps you think it's 1997 instead of 2017?
Anyone who has a mortgage, or deals with truly large transactions.
Are you serious? BECU and most credit unions like WSECU and SECUWA and VanCity and so on all have mortgages, car loans, and truly large transactions.
Where do you live? Podunk, Illinois?
You get higher returns with a credit union and the fees are lower and they have debit cards and credit cards and cheaper loans too.
Just saying.
In a corporate build network. Not when you don't use MSFT network servers.
Unlike you, I was/am paying attention. Not everyone works in your exact network space.

Many web sites, and the FB app, have way too many ads, to the point that I can't even read the screen, and stop going to the site.
And, to be quite frank, it's why I removed FB from my cellphone.
Dudes. You can keep adding more ads, but if I can't see the text, I'm not going to read the site.
I don't care how interactive you make it.
I don't have time to remove twenty ads with close boxes that decide close X means link to site.
I get rid of it. Entirely.
Pennywise. Pound foolish.
The comparison stands up for a comparison with high end 50 year tiled roofs.
Not your typical roof retiling with shingles.
Remember, don't connect the actual counting devices to the Net, no matter how secure you think it is.
So, how many in the White House were under indictment for Treason, then?
I blame Starbucks, quite frankly.
Only in the movies
Good thing we don't use nuclear fission here.
Well, except for the old submarines and naval ships.
Retrofitting them for fusion is only partially under way, mostly for the ones with laser defense systems.
Reminder: if we had stored this radioactive mess under the White House, it wouldn't be an issue.
No, that's Internet 3. We're not saving the old Internets. You guys don't even have 40 Gbps on that.
We're cooking with solar!
As I was saying to the shirtless King of Thailand last week on a topless beach near Paris, we can't have people saing things that are hate speech.
Then we got ready to cosplay with the Princes of Lesser Britain in the national uniforms of their ancestral country during the World War.
What fun!
Capitalism. The exact opposite of the White House Russian operatives single carrier model.
Ask yourself, who is a capitalist?
And who is a Russian operative Mercantalist that hates Capitalism?
Ever think they only plan for the 1 percent, and never for the 99 percent?
FCC works for Russia.

But, hey, it's in our State Constitution.
Not like you care about the Rule of Law, am I right?
It says this was being done to reduce employee shrinkage, customer shrinkage, and lastly talked about tracking for reordering.
But, hey, it's not like we believe you.
You do know Google allows us to translate from the original Chinese text, right, Wal*Mart?
There literally is a federal case being tried - right now - on Russian hackers stealing from Seattle businesses.
keep up, this is 2017 not 1967.
