Germany is currently an economic powerhouse and they lost a frigging world war.
To all Germans and those - like you - who admire their economic recovery. You're welcome. Signed, the US Marshall Plan and 6 decades of billions of dollars of defense paid on your behalf.
We heard the same gloom-and-doom (especially economic - multiple "respected" people saying the DJIA would crash to half its value) if President Trump was elected. Didn't come to pass. I don't think you're going to see what you predict, either. Care to place a wager on it? The UK is the 2nd largest economy in Europe, behind only Germany - do you think the EU will cut itself completely off from an economy that is bigger than 26 of the remaining 27 EU members?
I guess he doesn't want yet another competitor in the market... Bad enough there are US and EU companies looking at positioning and space-based photography, having yet another competitor would hamper his chances to keep rolling his own venture!
When it penalizes success, and the person pushing the breakup demands a chunk of your savings - even after you've paid tax on the income to build that savings in the first place (her wealth tax). Don't be too successful or the Government will cut you down...
Anything below Edge - at its 4.3% market share - I can understand dropping support for. Firefox is a curious one, though... I guess Microsoft decided that IE and Chrome are 75% of the market, that's good enough to start with!
Put those numbers together, and restriction to less than ~25 rounds in a magazine means you've restricted use for self defense.
So mass murder is completely impossible? No, its just illegal. Criminals tend not to obey the law. And that includes criminal law enforcement officers and politicians.
So I'm sure banning semi-automatic firearms and capacities beyond 7 rounds will be obeyed by criminals too, right? Or do they play by those rules, but ignore the ones about murder?
As an owner of multiple firearms, I can 100% confidently state my firearms have never killed anyone, have never intimidated anyone, and in fact have never done anything at all that I did not cause them to do. It turns out inanimate objects don't do much of anything without a person using them...
Precisely. And natural gas and nuclear are about 60% of our electricity generation - and we're ignoring all the gasoline/diesel used for transportation (which dwarfs electric consumption). "GND worshippers" love to focus on renewable generation of just electricity, which is a small sliver of our total energy use.
Socialist economy summarized. Which country has that? Which country has the "social dividend" defined for all companies? Which country has "The ownership of the means of production can be based on direct ownership by the users of the productive property through worker cooperative; or commonly owned by all of society with management and control delegated to those who operate/use the means of production; or public ownership by a state apparatus."? None in the EU that I know of...
China absolutely controls the banking industry - and the telecom, automotive, transportation, and steel industries too! But China's far from a "successful" economy. Don't know if you've been over there or not (I lived there for 6 years), but their entire economy is pretty much window dressing - the the point they have real estate bubbles 10 times as big as we've ever had, and their stock markets took a 40% dive last year - in the midst of their "most successful economic year" ever. Their GDP growth is in actual recession state for them, they have a massively aging population and (thanks to a few decades of one child rule) nowhere near enough young to pay for everything. Successful? Well, a nice shiny veneer looks that way, but the reality is FAR from different.
If the alternative is to not live in a home because you cannot afford it, or live in a home with some toxic mold and no ceiling but with HVAC, plumbing, floors, Internet and a roof - which do you choose? The analysis uses the exact same model he won the Nobel for, the model that's used by the IPCC. And it shows we're trillions ahead to do nothing, as compared to most of what is pitched. Saying "it's not everything" is just a childish, unreasoned answer.
In this case - it is cheaper to let the mold grow and address it at that time, or replace the ceiling when it collapses. That is exactly what it is saying. In this case, it is cheaper to pay for the "damage to the home" than it is to try to prevent it.
Actually, it's not. Statistics show that in a firearm discharge incident, police officers hit approximately 1 out of 7 times; there is little reason to assume that Joe Citizen will do better. And statistics also show that, on average, it takes 3.5 hits to incapacitate an assailant to the point they can be restrained. Put those numbers together, and restriction to less than ~25 rounds in a magazine means you've restricted use for self defense. And that's assuming people are as well trained as police officers.
Never mind the unanimous recommendation of Wray by Senate Judiciary Committee (all Democrats also voted for him), and the 92-5 confirmation in the Senate. Nope, just Republicans here, pay no attention to the Democrats on that same side!
Well, we flush half of it out for maintaining scenic rivers and to keep a few dozen Delta smelt living after being released from hatcheries. But we can't count large scale hydro as renewable because - solar? I honestly don't know. As someone who grew up in Seattle and the NW and with the BPA and massive hydro dams - I don't get it.
Check the table - it is basically twice as expensive to do the Green New Deal/Al Gore goal than to do nothing. Even doing the 1.5 deg C (Paris accord) is 1.7 times more money than doing nothing.
And plenty weren't. So? His model is what the UN and the IPCC uses for estimates of costs - and he says it's vastly cheaper to do nothing than to push for 1.5 deg C or the 90% of the Green New Deal/Al Gore world...
Wet snow - you just described Seattle to a "T". It's anything but that wonderful, powdery stuff. And cold snaps tend to come in just a day or two, so the first layer always melts - and turns to ice soon thereafter, creating a nice base for snow to accumulate. Even on steep angles.
They trap them with windmills - that way the flapping wings drive the turbine, and when the bird is sliced and diced up, it makes great chum to feed the seals at the Aquarium!

Should be "Elizabeth Warren seeks to see relevant to any voters in 2020, tries to out-socialist all other candidates".

well-written and tested application that is working within the scope it was designed for.
It's that little qualifier clause you added that is the killer.
Scope: the entire Earth, no bounds on what can happen as long as it obeys the laws of physics. Go.
Who was the alternative? Did President Trump nominate two candidates simultaneously?

Uninhabitable? Seriously? Who's claiming that - because NO ONE with any REMOTE sense of reality claims that.

Unfortunately, yes. Here if it's not a solar panel or windmill, it's not "green". Even though the State runs on natural gas and nuclear.

So name a socialist economy that succeeded. Just one.
Go easy on him - he's recovering from going to the Aquarium and the Zoo to dust the snow off his solar panels! #FeelGoodEnvirowhacko
