Thanks! You too. Here in Florida we’re ending winter with 70s and 80s. Can’t complain.
There is that aspect but there’s another one that’s uniquely American. Americans love to exercise their freedom of choice for the greater good when they are free to choose, in times of pressing need. That’s where leadership comes in. Good leadership successfully appeals to peoples freedom of choice. I don’t see Biden grabbing for that opportunity. That was likewise where Trump miserably failed at the beginning of Covid.
Still no link to the Russians using Pompeo as justification? What a shock.
That's why they want to produce videos so the media can play it on an endless loop until November. The public won't read it, but they'll watch TV and only read the headlines.
We aren't good at it. I recall a book discussing how many communities along the coast refused to black out during WW2, leading German subs to sit far enough offshore American convoys would be backlit.
That's why change usually comes from necessity not altruism. If gas stays high sales of big suvs presumably will decline
Low gas prices have become an entitlement. We are entitled to them and woe be unto politicians that allow the price to rise. The prices will come back down.
And the market for electric will continue to grow, particularly as prices come down. And I mean the price, not tax credits that are credited with your return down the road
I was thinking of lower speed limits after the oil embargo, people conserving water in California during the drought in the 70s, even World War II the way we operated on rationing and more or less the entire nation turned into a war machine. So on the macroeconomics scale we united in a dramatic fashion. I’m not talking about altruism at all, I’m talking about extreme situations and uniting to face the problem and solve it. People won’t change unless there’s widespread agreement that we need to handle the problem. The problem needs to be real and we need to have the highest level of quality leadership.
I guess I struck a nerve. What an ugly rant. And I see it's been edited. If this is the revised version, I can't begin to imagine what the original was like.
Lol do you have yourself on ignore? All of your positions have to do with partisanship. As for the better than this, there you go again acting like an arbiter. Let me be plain: 1) I think you're an idiot. The shit that you are preoccupied with is silly. You've written novels on here about shit few/if any care about. Academics and Squad members. People removed from reality 2) I don't give two shits about you.
Like many on the far right, it appears you've got some serious anger management issues. It must be that steady diet of culture wars, grievance politics and the cornerstone of grievance politics - - - victimization. They're out to get us. The Kinzinger/Cheney vendetta report. Abuse by elites. Socialist professors. Trans swimmers. Don't say gay. Election fraud. Bamboo in the ballots. Etc.
This is not responsive to this post, just to you.
Credibility lol. from the guy who never sees hypocrisy and has zero self awareness. Is Bowl your other handle? Hell you defend Cosmic. The most blatantly partisan hack on the board yet attack Coh. Lol. That's rich. Get real. Floor, Coh, myself all seem to think the same of you. Odd huh? There are numerous posters on here from Brad to Ranger to Crazy who think this batch of progressives are the worst. There's a long history of Democrats I like. This batch I cannot stand. In keeping with what appears to be a hell of a lot of moderates. That shouldn't be hard to comprehend. Even for a hyper partisan guy like you with zero self awareness.
Sigh. I was hoping for something new in your response. You are rehashing the classics only!
Why. Nothing has changed. You're a gerbil on a wheel
Sigh. Again. Thought we might have a fun conversation tonight. You're clearly not into it.
Hypocrisy and self awareness. I'm happy to review your posts and when you seem triggered to interject and what side you call out. Remember your board apology last week? Have we forgotten already? You should keep a journal.
Please don't use the pretentious "we" with me. I don't deserve much, but I deserve better than that.
Do you? You interjected, not me, again....But as is all too often the case - you interject without bullets. Just smoke. Think about your posts and your apology to posters last week. Partisan hypocrisy gave rise to it...again. Self-awareness....
Maybe mcm is drunk again. He gets on these unhinged rants and lashes out and there's no reasoning with him. Speaking from experience...don't bring up the USWNT if you care about the guy. He'll burn his house down.
This thread is about how the Jan 6 committee is worse than Big Brother, continuing OP's fetish with Newspeak, which has been going on for a while. You love it, for some reason. I'm needling you about your love for dumbassery.
Well, obviously, he's drunk right now. We should all be drunk right now. If you're not drunk right now, you're doing something wrong.
I did. Because I mistakenly thought you'd be a fun discussion partner and not a whiny bitch. My bad.
Self awareness. Are you and Bowl one in the same. Do you too have yourself on ignore? Your post was attacking me. And you interjected yourself into the thread for that purpose. Again self awareness. What you got back was a light response. Trust me.
