If a construction crew drops a girder, what happens if it hits a Trump voter? Is this any different from what happens if it hits a Clinton voter instead?
I expect snark in response, of course, since you're more interested in looking clever than you are in finding truth.
I've been spending a month or two a year in China for the last decade or so, and the air there is definitely a lot cleaner than it was in 2007.
As another poster already pointed out, it's heaps easier to put one scrubber on one smokestack than it is to put a million of them on a million automobiles. And it seems to be proving effective.
I don't think this is true. In Amsterdam, for example, it's illegal to be homeless. Not only are they down, you kick them while they are down. Not cool at all.
Where did you hear this? I don't think that's true, or at least it's not the way you make it sound.
You misunderstand. It's not that energy isn't vital to national security. It's that the continued profitability of Trump's butt-buddies' businesses isn't.
As an agency of the US government, it is certainly within its purview to advance related objectives of the government. In this case, it's "We'd like to do something to make about a billion people feel less shut out of our world. See if there aren't one or two little things you can do to help."
But of course, any suggestion that we treat Muslims as human beings gets shot down as "You're working to convert us all to Islam!"
Try saying this to yourself every day when you first get up: I can treat other humans having belief systems that differ from mine with respect and inclusion, and doing so generally makes the world a better place. It does *not* mean that I have to adopt their belief system or foster its adoption by others.
Republicans and Democrats are becoming Hatfields & McCoys, where hate prevents any kind of peaceful living. For an outsider like me, the situation is nevertheless worrying, because it also prevents any kind of improvement in other aspects of life.
Try being from there, being away for a decade or two, then coming back--it's like, "Who are you people, and what did you do with America?"

They're compensated.
Bull-hockey. Having one's entire life laid bare is hardly compensation for a free home page.
Not everything is about your politics.

And on your many visits to China, what did you think of the air quality there?
"Perfect" should not be the enemy of "good".

If by "us", you mean the US, then wasn't it the Japanese who brought WWII to us?
Science, math, and engineering aren't related to aeronautics?
You left out the reptoids.
not everyone deserves to go to college.
"Deserve"? So you think higher education is a reward. A reward for what, exactly?
200? That's more than the number of nations in the UN. I call bullshit.
What people really need to do is start living on less. Tiny houses and apartments, and cutting back on monthly expenses.
You first.
You've altered what he said and are responding to that. Doesn't that qualify as doing the strawman thing?

Hello, what parallel universe did you just wander in from?
Unions were one of the main drivers behind racist laws in the US.
You should read up on the history of the CIO--and prepare to be surprised.

If you have to cite Mr Bell Curve, you've already lost. Go home.
That's why God gave us lampposts.
TFTFY.
And when you guys fail, all my "safe" data will wind up being auctioned off to $highest_bidder. No, thanks.
When a person gets downvoted just for asking a question then they have a community problem.
It's not that simple. There's just asking questions, and then there's just asking questions.
Yes, and...?

... non-ideal is better than appointing someone who wants to dismantle the agency and give away the money saved to oligarchs.
It's OK, you're still allowed to say "EPA". I think.

...and Ru Paul will become the next leader of the evangelicals.
We can't have that--people might start to enjoy going to church.
