as this trend of electric vehicle purchases indicates a future higher usage of these fuels. If everyone buys an electric vehicle we'll need to use every bit of coal also. Energy has to come from somewhere and demand will dictate using the fuels available. Fossils fuels will be used whether it is on the highway or in the power plant. Even amazing lithium batteries won't change that unless we return to nuclear based power.
the environmentalists all living on the coastal areas and investing in real estate there and also all the politicians and hollywood ilk who have been buying up real estate in these 'doomed' places start selling it off. Until then, just ignore them and their claim you need to buy their carbon credits. See, in case you haven't figured it out yet, the left isn't compassionate and they don't care about you...they do care about your money and their power. 'There's a sucker born every minute' - P.T. Barnum.
The best part of Climate Change is that it can all be solved by paying other people your money for carbon credits and then just giving up all your freedoms and turning your entire life over to them. Then they can force everyone into the cities where they can be controlled and managed like cattle and used for the best good of the central planners. You can't keep a jackboot stamping on a human face forever if they're not under control. We've progressed so far though; I'm sure next year our crops will be just great if we toss a few more virgins and infants into the volcano. Don't question the shamans. It's settled.
So we couldn't just let the free market and consumer choice fix the problem, because that would be supporting EVIL capitalism which is responsible for America's standard of living and affluence. Bad bad stuff. I mean John Deere is like one of a thousand tractor manufacturers. This sounds like more of a consumer advocacy education cause rather than the need for more REGULATIONS. Buy a different brand.
That should affect about.00000000314% of posts on facebook. Way to go facebook. Makes me think of the BBC 'expose' on it where they found like 3 people somewhere in Appalachia to interview and then spent the rest of the show saying 'bad bad America'. What a laugh.
Boondoggle? You mean the Strategic Defense Initiative that scared the crap out of the USSR and then bankrupted them? You know we actually implemented it right? It wasn't just smoke and mirrors, it is actually in place today and benefiting all Americans. More than that, Poland has been begging us to implement it for them so they can also be under the umbrella. Israel already has their own Iron Dome based upon the Strategic Defense Initiative. I guess when your liberal professor "poopooh'd" the concept of it you thought that it was just a theory or something?
If only the Space Force had been announced under a "cool" president all the star trek fanboys who consider themselves 'progressives' could get behind it.
Mom, the cool kids don't like me because I voted Trump. That's OK honey, this is the land of Individualism.
Okian Warrior - Thanks for writing what people with a brain still think in this country. Yeah, the peanut gallery will throw feces at you for it. But you just told them the truth. So screw them.Let them feel the truth. Ouch, it hurts. People are just done with apologizing for reality.
the industry. It isn't blue haired SJWs that have got us to this point. Is LLVM trying to create the BEST software or are they abandoning that goal and choosing to appease the perpetually offended. It is a lie that women are being stopped entry or being discouraged from tech jobs. A woman in tech, even in the 1990s would get an interview to see if they HAD THE SKILLS. People gravitate to what they are interested in, WHAT THEY ARE GOOD AT, and what they WANT TO DO. That's how FREE MARKETS work and create wealth. You can't force people into jobs just to full-fill the wet dreams of some hand-wringing SJW. The guys who fix the roads get paid A LOT more than you think and women are under-represented in that field also, Maybe they don't want to stand in the sun all day and maybe they don't want to sit behind a keyboard all day. You can't fix personal choice.
Since the creation of the Department of Education in October 17, 1979 (Gee thanks Jimmy Carter), the United States has fallen from 2nd in the World for education to now 17th! If it ain't broke why did we fix it?
That the North Koreans will keep their word. I don't have much expectation of Kim Jong Un but it appears that he may be afraid of Trump or at least cannot predict what Trump will do if he rattles his saber much longer. Strength through superior firepower.
Interesting statement. Of course, my argument was as to whether or not video games made people violent, not as to whether they changed people in some way.
Just like watching sports which are proxy battles in which teams "go to war" against each other, or individual sports like boxing, tennis, etc. The viewers participate in the social experience and release their aggressive tendencies through the medium. I think it does lower violent tendencies because they are purged by proxy.
But they aren't pulling a trigger, they aren't mowing down people and they aren't creating blood baths. They are just clicking mice, pushing buttons on game-pads or tapping on tablets and phones. I own guns and I have been a member of the NRA before. I've pulled a trigger countless times. However, I've never hurt anyone since I don't have the desire to do so. I'm not a criminal. If I did have that desire I doubt I'd be spending a lot of time playing video games where I would just be clicking on mice and trackballs, pushing buttons on game-pads, etc.
I never felt like committing violent acts as the result of playing video games, even violent video games. I have had violent urges happen as the result of an OCD micromanaging, stand over your shoulder for 3 hours supervisor who had daddy issues and would say things like, 'you know how I treated you yesterday, that was over the top, but it's my time of the month'. Yeah, its usually things like that that make me start feeling violent, not video games.
Clearly we need to replace passwords with a chip or mark or tattoo in the palms of the hands and on the foreheads / retinas, etc. Then we need to make sure that people can't buy or sell without taking these marks on themselves. Naturally cash will have to be eliminated. This way we can control and identify what the people spend their money on and we can use this information to further oppress and bind them down into abject bondage and suffering. Yep, that's the ticket. No more anonymity, all must bow down and accept the will of Evil. Every citizen a slave.
"A jackboot stamping on a human face forever"-Orwell or Huxley, i forget and am too lazy to search.
What a great opportunity for us to give up our freedoms on the internet so that a group of people who are not us but are very well meaning can civilize it and of course she had to throw in the obligatory "Save the Cheellrun!" nervous nancy hand wringing about Cyberbullying, oh noes! Unless I misread the article, the people she thinks should take on this "burden" is all the big players who are already bad actors and oh yeah, herself. Did she invite you? No? Don't worry, you let these people set up their bureaucracies in your 'not broken' system and hey, what could go wrong. I for one welcome our new Internet overlords.
No, I understand. If you're going to deny yourself with a lifetime of not eating delicious rib-eye steaks, lamb gyros and Texas BBQ then maintaining the smug pseudo-superiority of Veganism becomes paramount. Sometimes I drink crude oil for the health benefits, like coal-it comes from nature and it's organic.
Yeah, the new American generation that no longer supports free speech...just wait for your just desserts, fair play and all that. People have a right to hate other people and it isn't OK to just hate the right people, mock the people you've been taught to mock, ridicule those who your teachers implied it was OK to ridicule. That was brainwashing you experienced, so sorry. No, it's really not ok even if Teacher said so. Sure Racists of all colors are disgusting. Racists of all political parties are disgusting. Supremacists of every race, religion, ideologies who persecute other people are ALL disgusting to the free man. Hatred is your right and it's an ugly and disgusting right that people who live in FREE societies have. I want to keep living in a FREE society, yes a dangerous free society that also includes disgusting people. Or we can queue the thought police.
If you can hate them and spew vitriol for their beliefs and ideas then surely they have EXACTLY the same right to do so to you also. UNLESS we are entering a time when Americans are no longer equal under the law...a time where some animals are more equal than other animals. But I'm probably just throwing pearls before swine.
I have no idea, but if you type google into the search box at the top of the screen after you go to about:config Then you will see it mainly under safebrowsing settings, default search engine settings etc. I'm not saying it does, but is it possible that Firefox by default runs every site you browse through Google before letting you go there to make sure it is a "safe" site and not a malware site, etc.
So that businesses start charging more for products because the employees are making more just like when women entered the workforce and then the free market adjusted to account for their income and things started being valued higher to account for the wages being paid to the average home. Government setting labor wages is failsauce and has failed always and forever in a free market system, which system is where actual REAL wealth is created on this planet. Seattle already has experienced this failsauce and it was a big let down to the little Socialist dreamers, so we have to pretend they weren't wrong - cue Berkeley's fairy story. Everyone loves to badmouth Capitalism all the while riding its coattails into the future. Socialism is failsauce because you eventually run out of the wealth created by Capitalism. The finger wagging "do-gooders" wag their finger and do their fake "good" all while being buoyed up by the Capitalist, Free Market system. This has been a public service announcement.

There is no way solar or wind would provide enough power to fuel our autos. Coal and nuclear would thrive!
