a lot of countries are on the side of eliminating the oil industry altogether as well as zero-emission alternatives like nuclear power.. in the us, biden has promised to eliminate all federal lands oil production when he takes power in 2021 (30% of the united states) as well as native american tribal lands which account for 8 percent of all oil, 9 percent of all natural gas, and 6 percent of all natural gas liquids from 96,000 wells (10% of the total wells in the us).. in europe, oil and gas production has been largely eliminated except for the nordic countries and the uk (which the eu recently lost access to), germany is funding a major oil pipeline as is china from russia and russian-controlled portions of ukraine, even after trump cut off all builders from russian oil pipelines, the russian government is now trying to build the pipeline themselves with potential disastrous results.. venezuela's economy collapsed largely due to the government taking over and eliminating the oil industry companies.. in the mean time, control for most non-us energy sources is now wholly dependent on russian and middle eastern governments.. california and germany eliminated oil-based energy sources and now mandate 30% of their power from 'green' wind and solar alternatives.
germany energy costs now hover around 25c/kwh and california is not far behind with 16c/kwh both experiencing rolling blackouts in major cities and importing 60% of mostly coal and gas energy from their neighbors.. the world currently has 300 years worth of oil at the current rates of usage which have stagnated due to improved efficiencies.
co2 emissions in the us have dropped in the last 3 years for the first time in decades despite (or because) reduced oil and gas regulations.. do you think given the above facts, eliminating the oil industry is a good thing?
The market should be making these calculations. I know, the left wants to "force" certain development - for whatever reason. They might think it is more noble, moral, whatever. They haven't learned the lesson from every planned economy that has ever existed - it doesn't work. There are reasons why it doesn't work.
If these green technologies were ready to be used, if they were not a drain on resources, they would be profitable, and you wouldn't need force anything.
just going by the topic titles you've been using these last few weeks.. do you think you can survive a whole four years with someone that's not exactly your favorite candidate?.
i know i'm in the minority from what i've been reading here, but i'm glad for the change!.
well, we all can't be satisfied altogether can we?.
Biden is left?
Again, why are you focusing on people? Focus on policy. Yes - he is moving ever leftward.
"wasn’t articulate" is a massive understatement. I've never seen or heard Donald say a single sentence without interrupting himself. Biden doesn't do THAT. (Not that I'm a Biden supporter either by the way). But I agree, being able to formulate a sentence isnt the deciding factor in choosing the leader of a country.
You are not serious. You are trying to focus on Trump's speech patterns and saying he is "unable to formulate a sentence". You are still in the TDS "yo-mama" insult area. You really aren't serious. You skipped over the most important part of my comment, and jumped right back to talking about how Trump talks - but if you were really being serious, you would drop on account of Biden not being much better.
No? What was he doing?
Again, this has been beaten to death. Just a little bit of research, and you would see Trump mocking all sorts of people that way (exact same hand gestures and expressions). He did it to indicate exasperation. He sometimes applied it to himself. You aren't serious. Ten minutes away from CNN and you could have seen this.
Except, he did. If an old man brags about grabbing your genitals without permission you'd be ok with that?
Again, READ the quote. Just read the "grab em" quote. In context, without the news. When you come across the words "they let you", read them again. And again, until you realize you are not being serious. If you were serious, you would shut off CNN for good. Same for Fox.
Careful now, women "WANT it and volunteers it"? Did the women in he grabbed volunteer their vaginas to be grabbed? If it was without permission would you defend that anyway?
If it is without permission, no. See, that is the difference between Clinton and Monica vs Clinton and Paula Jones. Monica was A-OK being used as a human humidor. I have zero problem with that. None. Paula, not so much. If women let powerful, rich men "grab em", why should I care?
Let's see - did I leave anything out? Mexicans == Rapists. Yet another example of just looking at the quote in context. He did not call Mexican's rapists in general.
Oh yeah:
Excellent. Can you send me some links?
Really? Really? No.
LUHE has already posted a linked to a Crower video. He confronts people like you (you know, the "serious" and objective kind willing to listen), and as they are presented with more and more evidence their view is based on media lies, they can't seem to take it.
If you go to YouTube right now... type in "Trump denies white supremacy", you literally get pages of compilations, some over 3 forking years old! If you are serious - you need to ask yourself:
"Why the fuck do I think Trump never denied white supremacy? After all, I'm looking at YEARS AND YEARS of examples of him doing just that? I watched CNN tell me for 4 years that he just doesn't want to deny white supremacy, yet it seems like he's been doing it all along. Maybe, just maybe, they are lying to me about pretty much everything else."
@frozen:
Yeap - even today Biden said he was going to reverse that horrible racist Muslim travel ban. I’m sure there was absolutely no purpose for that travel ban, other than to be racist. Things should be fine.

I just noticed your second follow-up:
But I understand your frustration, your candidate is history starting January 20 of next year.
Meh. Like I’ve said on other threads - I’ll live. You won’t see me out burning cities with a pink pissy hat, looting target (because that’s the way to deal with loss and anger, right?)There will be more gridlock. It wasn’t about the candidate. Good lord, why do people focus on the person?
But as it has been pointed out here about remembering the rules, is it okay for you to call me a bigot because I assumed someone's gender?
I don’t think it’s OK. But hey, I didn’t vote for that sort of behavior. Maybe you did, if you voted for Biden. But you said you were looking forward to a change of pace. I thought you would appreciate it. You know, as a reminder of your own natural sexism. You should look on it as a privilege to do the hard work to extract that unconscious bigotry out of your personality.

I think you are highly favored on this site Miss Mustard or you would've been removed quite some time ago, since about a few days or week ago I believe it was Minimus (male or female) asking someone to remember the rules of posting here.
*sigh*
Perhaps you don’t quite know me well enough to understand. You should down vote my post. You SHOULD think it’s a violation of the rules. You definitely SHOULD feel revolted by it.
But if you voted for Biden, you voted FOR that ideology.
You aren’t really a bigot. But what does that matter when you have woke culture breathing down your neck? Are you looking for that change of pace?

The word is out that Melania is about to dump the Trump marriage.
Oooops, someone is taking the National Enquirer a bit too seriously... Or possibly watching CNN. Same difference at this point.
@Tater-T:
I listened to all of that video. That man, I think, is sincere, he is full of good intentions.
He is also completely wrong. What he said in that video is the cancer that’s eating this nation, and will continue to eat this nation, until it dies. That man thinks, as much of a useful idiot as he is, that what he is saying is enlightened. He thinks he’s claiming the moral high ground as he acts to do whatever he can to tear down the “current system of oppression” - blindly and unknowingly seeking “equity” not equality, not understanding the communism he bought into.

Vote for a candidate that is more polished, and will still stand for the policies that you like.
The problem here is that “polished” = “establishment”. The polished candidates have very little hope of actually doing anything because they are entrenched. Everyone would like to hope that could change, however.
it was no secret that it was coming.
mr. trebek certainly showed everyone how to approach the end of life.
rest in peace, alex trebek.
Now that sucks.
:(
