Did you ever get a Math grade higher than a D? Mortality RATE.

One of the EIGHTY-NINE scenarios is nuclear… and you find an article which only discusses that one option, as if it is the only option. Hmmm. That’s a pretty biased approach. And nuclear isn’t going to take off in the US. Maybe Japan and France, but it is a risky option and not acceptable in the US, not by Democrats or Republicans. Nevada is pretty conservative, and they shut down the Yucca Mountain disposal site. So I just don’t see it as feasible in this country.

He is a Republican who does not like Donald Trump. But that doesn’t mean he is a Democrat. He is not.

My bad. Sorry.

The “speech norms” that ass clown is talking about is “lying.” Look at all the nonsense you people spread around here. Your politics cannot win on fact. You depend upon lies and ridiculous conspiracy theories.

David Brooks is a Republican.

Yucca Mountain was never opened for nuclear waste disposal, was it?

Only temporarily.

The LONDON-BASED ENERGY GIANT… If a meteor fell out of space, you’d blame Trudeau. Know why? Cause you guys are stupid.

I know this is really complicated for you, but Democrats only exist in America. And the Democratic Party isn’t funding any new nuclear reactors and neither is the Republican Party. And what’s more… you just spout this comment “there is presently no alternative” to nuclear with nothing to back up your assertion. And you’re dead wrong. For one thing, nuclear is proven to be a money loser. Toshiba/Westinghouse lost billions building nuclear reactors. Nearly bankrupted them. OTOH, California has extended the operating lifetime of their one operational nuclear plant. But long term, it’s going to be wind and solar. Wind alone supplies 50% of Iowa’s electricity, over 20% of Texas’, and nearly 10% of the entire nation’s total. Wind turbines work! And they can be built FAR FAR faster than nuclear plants, at far lower cost per kWh, and obviously far lower environmental impact. Farmers can put a dozen or more windmills on their land with almost no impact. That’s clearly not so with nuclear.

And if you lose, just claim election fraud.

“The energy crisis sparked by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is likely to speed up rather than slow down the global transition away from fossil fuels and toward cleaner technologies like wind, solar and electric vehicles, the world’s leading energy agency said Thursday. While some countries have been burning more fossil fuels such as coal this year in response to natural gas shortages caused by the war in Ukraine, that effect is expected to be short-lived, the International Energy Agency said in its annual World Energy Outlook, a 524-page report that forecasts global energy trends to 2050. Instead, for the first time, the agency now predicts that worldwide demand for every type of fossil fuel will peak in the near future. One major reason is that many countries have responded to soaring prices for fossil fuels this year by embracing wind turbines, solar panels, nuclear power plants, hydrogen fuels, electric vehicles and electric heat pumps. In the United States, Congress approved more than $370 billion in spending for such technologies under the recent Inflation Reduction Act. Japan is pursuing a new “green transformation” program that will help fund nuclear power, hydrogen and other low-emissions technologies. China, India and South Korea have all ratcheted up national targets for renewable and nuclear power.” https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/27/climate/global-clean-energy-iea.html

Why do you believe this ridiculous nonsense, instead of accepting what is right in front of your nose in plain daylight? It is absolute, irrefutable fact that Trump lost, Trump KNEW he lost, his advisors and children all told him he lost, the US Congress and Senate told him he lost. The Supreme Court told him he lost. The individual states told him he lost. TRUMP LOST. It is fact that Trump perpetuated a LIE, claiming he won. It is fact that Trump STILL has presented NO EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER of fraud. That stuff is all plain as day. It is fact. Ray Epps is a conspiracy theory. I think you’re completely detached from reality. It’s so bizarre that you think states and Federal agencies lead by men loyal to Trump were all synchronized in a secret cabal lead out of Biden’s basement. You just aren’t thinking rationally at all, and neither is the pillow selling former drug addict.

He’s going to take such a huge loss on this deal. Since he proposed the acquisition the stock market has tanked, but he’s on the hook for the full offer price he made earlier this year.

If you’re wondering who is causing high oil prices, and who is benefitting, it is oil companies. BTW, Shell’s highest profit was Q2 of this year. “The good times continue at Shell. The London-based energy giant reported adjusted earnings for the third quarter of $9.45 billion, its second-highest profit on record and more than double the $4.1 billion it made in the same period a year earlier. Shell is mainly benefiting from high oil and natural gas prices partly stoked by the war in Ukraine, as Russia squeezes gas flows to Europe. The profit was a step down from the record-breaking $11.5 billion Shell reported for the second quarter.” https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/27/business/shell-earnings-profit-oil-gas.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share

Yes. Tax cuts cause deficits.

To be honest, a weak man would have knuckled under to Trump’s demands. Pence instead followed his principles and the law. By the way, Trump lost the 2020 election. In fact, Joe Biden kicked his ass, won the White House, the House, AND the Senate. Trump is a Big Loser and the Republican leaders know if.

WTF? This is the data from the Treasury. Hard stop. Just the numbers. Why the deficit was so high is because spending increased drastically while revenue decreased drastically. Yes, Covid was a factor but the tax cuts were Trump’s choice. Reagan, Bush and Trump all slashed taxes for the rich and deficits exploded every time. The Leffler curve is obviously not true.

Well, maybe if the idiot in the White House listened to the medical advisors, we wouldn’t have had one million deaths and Covid shutdowns throughout 2020-2021. But Trump and the GOP-majority Senate chose his budget, and Covid remained strong. As a matter of economic stability, it is very questionable whether cutting government spending even more rapidly than Biden did would be wise.

WWW.TREASURY.GOV https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/americas-finance-guide/national-deficit/ From the Post: ”Office of Management and Budget Director Shalanda Young speaks to reporters at the White House in March. The Biden administration said Friday that the federal budget deficit plunged from $2.8 trillion in 2021 to $1.4 trillion in 2022.”

But never ever do Republicans say what they will actually do. It’s all talk…. Blah blah blah… no policy. When they do mention policies, it’s elimination of Social Security and Medicare.

While Republicans blame Biden for global inflation and global high oil prices, they also blame the deficit… which has fallen a full fifty percent over Trump’s last two budgets. A GOP Congress will further slash taxes on the mega rich, making our deficits grow even higher. Their other plan is to keep the number of IRS agents the same as it was in 1970, when we had 2/3 our current population… because they want to support the tax-cheating mega rich, not salary earners who file straight out of their W-2’s. https://www.washingtonpost.com/us-policy/2022/10/21/biden-federal-deficit-republicans/

A tree is a plant in the taxonomy.

Are you opposed to equality? You’re a frickin’ plant! Why is a plant against equality?

America’s dairy industry is more heavily funded than America’s and we don’t import milk either. Trump broke a trade treaty with Canada using the War of 1812 as an excuse.
