At the current rate of carbon emissions pumping energy into storms and glacial melt in Greenland, along with sad attempts to stop flood plains from renewing decaying soil mass by siltration deposit of alluvial soils, four fifths of Lousiana will be under water for part of the year.
Look, flood plains are supposed to flood. Stopping the river deposits is why it's getting worse. Destroying the biomass buildup from salt infiltration from Gulf storms.
Florida is way worse off, quite frankly. And it's all the fault of people sticking their heads in the sands (which will also disappear).
Mhmmmm sure.... Just be glad those chem trails haven't gotten you yet. This does prove what I've suspected all along though. Putin loves Americans but hates black people! Just like George Bush and his manufactured Katrina hurricane produced by the CIA's super secret huricaner conflagulation device.
In case you thought it went away after November, the Russian teams (which operate all over, not just in Russia) are still hacking physical machines and networks in US elections.
This past week.
Still going on.
Machines don't just "happen" to "break" in precincts with black and brown voters in a massively higher percentage by "accident".
But, hey, not like this is important. If you don't mind living in a police state.
The only thing that works is paper ballots mailed in and counted on non-networked optical scanners (humans are ok too, but not as accurate, and yes, I've participated in multiple human recounts).
Ideas, patents, concepts mean nothing without the capital and labor to bring them to fruition.
Stolen or borrowed, in the end, that is always what you need.
One of the problems of the modern age is the inability of the Too Big To Fail banks to provide capital to small businesses to hire labor and create new products. Nowadays, it's not capitalism we work beneath, but mercantalism, as Adam Smith, the Father of Capitalism warned us in his seven books (not three, read the other ones). Mercantalism is not that efficient.
A lot of this is because we allow tech firms to drive down costs by importing cheaper labor.
Why not just get real and allow anyone with a PhD from a US top 50 university to get a green card? We already know they have skills, we already know they can speak English.
Here in Washington State, in addition to our strong privacy laws, and Internet privacy laws just signed, we also have a ban on using cell phones while driving. Period. No exceptions. Even if you're stopped at a stop sign.
$145 ticket the first time. After that it gets serious and you are also guilty of distracted driving, which triples penalties for other distractions.
Artificial land subsidies (rents) for coal extraction in the USA are not the same as worldwide. Artificial corporate subsidies for oil and coal and natural gas firms (98 percent of the DOE budget other than nuclear fissiles) in the USA are not the same as worldwide. Energy knows no borders, other than the artificial market restrictions placed by nation states, and true capitalism is aware of this market-altering fossil fuel subsidy level.
As I said, fossil fuels are dying. Renewables are cheaper and there literally is nothing you can do to stop that basic economic fact. At some point the rent subsidies and extraction subsidies will go the way of the dinosaur. Any USA exports have to pay a carbon tax in most of the world. If not collected in the USA, as 16 states currently do, it is imposed on sale or lease overseas. No amount of jawboning will change this basic economic fact.
Industries know this. They are making decisions to maximize their profit on exports by not using fossil fuels. It's easier for them if their competitors don't get artificial subsidies to use fossil fuels. Even if a competitor only sells within NAFTA, both Canada and Mexico also have carbon taxes, and it is collected on point of sale if not collected in the USA before.
As I said, fossil fuels are dying. The world knows this. Business knows this. Look at all the modern data centers and warehouses being built: they use renewables for the bulk of their power. It's a business decision to maximize profits and reduce rent paying to external power providers.
Fossil fuels are expensive. I fail to see why any true conservative would want to support oil despots in other countries or not use their own owned buildings and land to produce their own power and take back control from Big Government in DC.
Renewables are cheaper. Which is why coal is dying so fast.
China literally has around 1 million electric EV cars trucks and buses.
A lot of heating and cooling is industrial and commerical. Anything built since around 2004 is built to new codes to optimize green power. Modern buildings frequently produce anywhere from 80 to 110 percent of the power they use from their own renewable sources.
As we all know, here in 2017, renewables are far far cheaper than deadender 18th century fossil fuels.
This is a wise choice by the city, and should also help them in earthquake and other disaster preparedness, in that homes and office buildings and factories with solar wind and tidal can continue to operate even when the municipal grid is heavily impacted. This will allow them to turn back on critical infrastructure such as pumping systems, emergency lighting, and provide critical hospital services.

Or is it only because they're not mocking?
As the Department Store of Edumercation said, "Who needs wirrless?"

Just saying, Google.

Not a single thing you said makes any sense.

For some reason I'm not that enthused. Not sure why. I mean, I had an iPhone 5, then got a 5 SE.
And, in case you think I hate Apple, I have an Apple II+ and a Mac SE as well as iMacs in my garage.
Wake me when they listen to the customers.
We already know they are deep in debt....
There, that should drive prices down.
And let's call them indentured servants instead of body shop slaves!
Why admit what we're doing when we can pretend we're not doing it?
We can even teach them the coding religions of America. No more of these C## imports, make them learn proper Algol.
What could possibly go wrong?
Make slashdot ++ great again.
Interesting insight. It's the profit motive that drives these body shops. Cut that off at the source, as you say, and they have no incentive to cheat.

Got cell?
Not so fast.
The original Kyle McLachlan version.
And why a certain foreign agent went to Korea a while back.
Probably for the same reason I know that.
Sigh.
This could also happen if they forgot to renew the software.
A long time ago, I remember it was fairly common practice, in fact.
But, hey, I'm sure the relative of one of the execs they hired is good at his job.
So do I. They sell some in Canada this model year, why can't we buy them in America?
A plug-in light pickup would be great.
In India. In China. In Taiwan. In S Korea. And in model year 2017 in Canada.
Tesla is great at getting free advertising for a quality product.
That said, how do they know it was said person? This is an accusation, not a proven fact.
More likely one of the senior execs deleted the files to cover up some theft on their part.
Never assume.

Great job, Portland!
