If you don't like socialism, provide a link to a video called:
"How Capitalists Solved The Housing Crisis"
You don't need social housing, you can afford to buy.
So do I, but I still think people who are not as lucky,
deserve to live in a decent home as well.
They are a useless burden to society. It's your fault for creating them.
I'm not a lefty/socialist out of compassion alone, but because it's better for ALL OF US.
It maximizes people's potential, so they contribute to society.
Bums in cardboard boxes don't contribute anything. Well, maybe diseases.
so they could live in a nice box.
whats wrong with putting down the needle or the bottle and going to work?
whats wrong with not having kids or pets if you can't feed them>?
whats wrong with people that they think the rest of us owe people that choose to be worthless bums a damn thing?
What's wrong is your 'thinking' that those problems apply to all bums.
Your system is very good at crushing people, who do everything right.
There are many people who have no fault at all for getting crushed.
People's lives can also get crushed to rubble, AFTER having kids or pets.
Losing ones job or losing ones health is a big risk of that. No fault of them.
We should have a system who prevents occurrences like that crushing people.
The US didn't have that already, but your political side made it even worse.
There is nothing wrong with people who think we owe each other,
there is something wrong with people who think everyone is on their own.
It isn't logical and it isn't consistent with any religion.
In any case, the majority of people don't agree with you, and they will fight back.
The worse it gets before they succeed at it, the harder your side will fall.
taking away all motivation to improve 1's self by making sure the folks know they will not suffer for being lazy and non productive.
tax the rich to pay for the lazy, the rich will just leave and your system would not support it's self.
edit, i got to thinking, damn, i must be poor, i don't have access to a swimming pool.
so can i live in this cheap government housing since i can't afford a pool? wait, i can get a plastic kiddy pool from walmart so i guess i don't qualify.
what would motivate people to do better for themselves if they are living cheap off the governments taxing the "wealthy" ?
and where is the line between wealthy and living in this cheap housing? what is to stop bill gates from putting his estate into a trust and moving in?
do you have a pool cat? maybe you could move into that fancy place built on the tax payers dime?
if you don't have a pool,you are poor according to the socialist
what we as a country need to be looking at is who do we put in for 2028? we need to continue the progress we are making as Rome was not built in a day and our country was not torn apart over night. it takes time,aka years, to fix the fucks up of obama-biden, just the border crisis alone will affect us for decades as we don't know how many terrorist swam over and spoke some spanish to get a free ride to wherever
well first, they would reduce the stupid regulations that cause houses to be so expensive.
We can't use what are referred to as tiny homes in my county, zoning won't allow it. why? because the democrat led county would rather bring in sub divisions with 400,000 dollar plus homes into the area and tax them.
another thing, the bullshit laws preventing you from building your own home on your own property should be abolished. you can't even cut lumber from trees on your own land to use in your home. your home,not the countys home that taxes it.
developers push down acres of trees and burn them to make way for new houses and then import lumber to build them. the very trees they push down and burn could be made into lumber and used on the homes being built. it was done that way years ago.
but not any more. why? because dems can't collect sales tax from the lumber.
i could go on, and may add some more later. but i have a feeling common sense,back to basics solutions are not what you are looking for.

Must be a big one to reach page six
Wow, The Clown is really making good on his promises. NOT.
and besides, this is a side effect of the future. Automation. the good riddance of workers demanding much more than they are worth for mundane, simple repetive task that can be done by a machine
Estimates of job losses due to automation and AI vary, but some projections suggest millions of jobs could be impacted. A McKinsey & Company study suggests that between 400 and 800 million individuals globally might need to find new jobs due to automation by 2030. Goldman Sachs predicts that 300 million full-time jobs could be replaced by AI globally. While some jobs will be lost, others will be created, but the transition may require significant reskilling and adaptation.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Manufacturing:
20 million manufacturing jobs could be replaced by automation by 2030, according to PatentPC.
Global Impact:
The World Economic Forum projects that 85 million jobs could be lost due to AI and automation by 2025, but 97 million new jobs will also be created.
US Impact:
Up to 73 million US jobs are potentially at risk of being lost to automation in the next five years, according to a study cited by Edoxi.
Specific Sectors:
McKinsey predicts that up to 375 million workers globally may need to change occupations by 2030 due to automation.
AI's Role:
While some job losses are attributed to robots and other automation technologies, AI is also playing a role in job displacement, particularly in roles involving routine tasks.
Adaptation is Key:
Many sources emphasize the need for workers to adapt to the changing job market by acquiring new skills and embracing lifelong learning.
i hope the day comes when people regret ever asking for so much money, they think they can't make it now, wait until most jobs are done by automation or are done by ai. then they will really understand what it means to not be able to make it.
the next really great depression will be a permanent 1. ai and automation will take care of everything from trash collection to medical procedures. no need to pay workers comp for more than 2 or 3 people to operate and manage the company, it will run it's self.

You owe Bella one don’t you
And, do I owe her one? If having to endure the constant reminder from her and you that I should genuflect every time I see her pic, then, yes, I guess I owe her one.
So, Pussy Dgraff, what else? And, if you remember what you’ve just brought up, then you should also remember that I deleted every pic in mt gallery except one. From that moment, ‘my pics have been as honest as anyone else on the site.
Also, from that day on, I was a bitch with a capital B, knowing that, on this site, at least, people kiss you on the cheek while holding a hidden dagger behind their backs.
So, come on, Pussy, what else?
You know what? This? This is a waste of time where I could be doing something important. Bye, Daniel.
“And, do I owe her one? If having to endure the constant reminder from her and you that I should genuflect every time I see her pic, then, yes, I guess I owe her one.

Endure MY “constant reminder”!? Ha! I haven’t kept track of or counted the number of times, I’m sure there’s been 2 or 3, maybe more but it’s not like I make a post about do you know what TWOWARMTTS did back when? And when you use a big word why not make sure you use it properly. Genuflect? Bow every time you see my picture?
And as for you deleting all but one picture, that is the truth, HOWEVER that one picture was placing blame on me and big9inch21 * for the removal of all your gallery pictures. You were not owning any of this being “your fault” you were pointing blame on us.
In case a new or fresh eye is reading the post(s), because I ASKED admin to include a freeze vote option on voting, I would reach out to the member in question with a screenshot of the referral to show that it is legit and I pretty much write the same blurb; You/your profile has been referred to the Evaluation Panel for xxx . Please consider (I always use the word consider because it is your choice whether you want to comply OR NOT) removing xxx otherwise your profile is in jeopardy of being deleted. Please reach out to me if you have any questions.
2 or 3 of my 19 blacklisters have blacklisted me because I have reached out to them in that capacity.
* Just for point of reference when TWOWARMTTS came on the ShowYourDick/ShowYourCunt radar, we were using the original name AND big9inch21 was the king of the site.

This doesn't change anything. Dgraff is still a pussy and you are as obnoxious as always. Oh, yeah.
“you've brought that up in everyone of my memberships.”
IF I brought anything up it was because you had a different spin on things. You enjoy the challenge, search the Forum for just how many times the story was repeated and under what circumstance was it shared.
“And, frankly, now, I believe you do so just to justify your "please, look, I'm such a nice person" attitude. We both know you are not.”
I am confident about who I am and from my vantage point, you seem to be confused about a number of things. Oh yeah!
“ We say and do a lot of stuff on this site. Some good. some bad, but we never cross the line.”
I’ve been here 13 consecutive years and you’re right behind me with 12 years. I’ve not been booted have you? I seem to recall some stuff that happened with the ol’ “router caper”, do you remember that?
I’ve never been booted close maybe but close only counts in horse shoes and hand-grenades

So they are already having issues with charging electric cars?
Sheesh,what about in 5 years? The power company are not permited to build new power plants.Solar and wind are going to be important to keep the grid up. But that didn't work in Texas did it?
They make a lot of energy in Texas,but how many folks died over the winter this past 1?
Angel1227!
So a private, for profit, company did not plan on a hard winter so their production of electricity was not sufficient? And this utility, regulated by the states, failed to meet the demands? This state (Texas) governed by Repukers was not regulated correctly so this company spent less on production and got richer because of it? This sounds very much like a Repuker business idea.
I fault the power companys in texas to a point but I also fault the citizens for lack of preparedness.
Face it, sometimes you need regulation, especially for basic facilities like power.
And I then mentioned the issues in texas with electricity.
What everyone is missing here is the fact there is NOT enough electricity being produced to meet CURRENT demand.As Ananas has indicated.So imagine if you will,5-10 years from now,when there is GREATER demand? What a mess we are in for.
Regulation is not the solution. that is how you GOT TO THIS POINT. To many regulations preventing new power plants being built and trying to snuff out coal,a effective energy source.
You think that if they are running short they won’t try to catch up? The regulations you protest are there to protect the people and the environment. But, knowing how you think, fuck that. Let coal continue to pollute. We’ll be dead by the time our grandkids die of poisoned air.

Only 2 under construction according to this chart.

The US shut down how many? lets see
only registered users can see external links
Now, we shut down 39 and we are building 2. Does that sound like regulations are helping any? 2, there are 50 states. So state regulation is not changing anything where it may be either.
If you want coal gone,you need to have a replacement handy before hand.
Nuclear power is not the solution. There are 80 sites in the United States where nuclear waste is stored. Some of it is stored temporary in a location that is not safe long term. The best uranium sites are already running out and it's getting ever more expensive to mine the stuff.
That waste has to be looked after for the next 20,000 to 1M years, before it's safe. Humanity probably kills itself before that or there might be a few survivors that don't know how to keep the waste safe and radiation will finish them off. But who cares, right?

Like nuclear is the only alternative to coal.
I just used nuclear here because MOST tree huggers-liberals,think nuclear is the answer.And it has Ooodles of issues that take Many years to deal with.
Actually, I even prefer fossil fuels over nuclear, even though I'm a tree hugger-liberal. Nuclear might be a bit better on carbon emissions when the reactor is built, but building new ones creates so much emissions, it takes 20 years to recover.
Another problem is that nuclear reactors take ages to start up and stop again, which is not practical as backup for solar and wind. Fossil fuels are at least needed until we have enough geothermal, hydro (incl. wave), biofuel, biogas, hydrogen, chemical storage (formic acid), thermal energy storage, battery storage and whatever I forgot or they think up next.
Then there is off-course the waste and the risk.
Eh so more electric cars will reduce demand?
I know you are not a engineer,but even you should be able to figure out that can't work.
groas violations of human rights, so the US or Europe don't need them as an ally.
If they can't sell us oil ,they will make their money on interest from loans.
We could afford to use fossil fuels if we could finish our pipelines and drill in otherwise useless lands like up north in alaska where there is nothing but woods.
The alaskan pipeline built long ago,was supposed to be such a wildlife disaster,ha,the animals love it,it is warm near the pipeline.
California has MILES of coast line,Why are they not looking into this tech?

Instead of wasting all that coast line for half naked people to lay around and spread covid,there could be power plants there!
NO pollution! No noise that is not already there,and erosion control! WOW,
Kansas,could be using wind and solar to help of course.
Another non polluting power source,

When I build a green house,yep,I will use geothermal to help with temp control.
Every bit you can use of it is better than none at all.
Here are some fun do-it-yourself builds on YouTube.
I had seen them before and it made me regret living next to a stationary ditch.

How many Chernobyl’s do you know? One in the states, one in Japan, and one in Russia. Here, in Miami-Dade county, FP&L has been operating the local one over 50 yrs. Same in other cities around the state. And no pollution
You don't hear about the Mcquire plant here in NC getting to hot but it did a few years ago. The tree huggers were angry because a type of fish was dieing from getting caught in the cooling system water.So they put a screen over the intake. Worked fine for a while. Until the screen clogged up with little fishes.A employee told me about it.
Here is a long list of potential accidents and how to deal with them

Yea,I know,I got dizzy after 10 minutes of readin!
I can't see a coal plant being any where near as dangerous to operate
They can't even take in water, without sucking up all the fishes
According to the Rainforest Action Network. For decades, climate change has been a global crisis that will impact every single person and living being on this planet. Now, according to the latest UN climate report, we have less than 10 years to cut global emissions in half.
Burning fossil fuels isn’t just bad for the climate, these industries also violate countless fundamental human rights. From frontline communities facing a fossil fuel pipeline on their land to Indigenous people facing fires in the Amazon to worker rights violations on palm oil plantations, the industries fueling climate change are also fueling injustice.
Coal, tar sands, and fracked gas show everything that’s wrong within the fossil fuel industry. These extraction practices are harming people and planet every day, and big banks are fueling this destruction of the planet and negligence of life.
So what’s so bad about coal, tar sands, and fracked gas? Basically everything, from start to the finish these fossil fuels are disastrous.

chernobyl didn just happen and stop.It is still happening today.
Smog will go away at some point.
coal smoke can be filtered.Try filtering radiaton.
So we only would need half that exclusion zone filled with solar panels
and that would cost about 78 Billion Euro's. That would raise our national debt from 56.3% of GDP to 66.2% of GDP.
Jobs for all our unemployed people will pull that debt down soon enough.
Accidents happen. Even if the chance is 1:1M (historically proven it's much higher), when you multiply that risk by the number of nuclear power plants required, something catastrophic will happen at some point. Such catastrophes could cost more than the complete energy transition.
That's not worth it, because nuclear power is only a temporary solution, because the uranium will run out at some point. It's already becoming more and more expensive to mine the stuff.
Even if all those problems didn't exist, it still takes 10 years before any nuclear power plant has compensates his own build. But it first takes 10 years to build any. Then after 20 years, they are just as CO2 effecient as wind and solar. That's too late. We need to lower CO2 emissions ASAP.
Anyone with some money to spare can invest in their own solar panels,
lower their costs and be less dependent on power companies.
It's nice to have air-conditioning in a heat wave, when the government
is telling you not to use power or you can't afford it when power companies are charging you 100x the normal rate.

There are al sorts of natural disasters, but it can also be a terrorist attack or a hacker or just basic human error.
BTW, instead of Kansas I could have picked West Virginia

I also don't like nuclear energy and my arguments are in line with the science on climate change. That uranium has to be mined, which also emits CO2.
A nuclear power plant takes a lot of energy to be built and maintained.
Then afterwards we have to keep the waste safe for the next 20,000 years.
On the short term nuclear is about as energy/CO2 efficient as wind power and even less than solar. In the long term nuclear has a horrible energy/CO2 efficiency, because keeping the waste safe also costs energy. Also, building nuclear power plants takes a long time and lots of materials. It takes about 10 years before a nuclear power plant compensates his own build. That's about 1-1.5 years for wind energy and 2 years for solar. However solar is cheaper
on maintenance.
Other than that, I agree with most of what you said.
All energy technology costs money, materials, energy and land to build and maintain. All energy technology has downsides like pollution, mineral shortages, exploitation of people and CO2 emissions. We just need to stop with the worst energy technologies first and expand on the best ones the most.
It doesn't require completely changing our life or have impact on the quality of our life. However climate change already impacts our life and it will only get worse. We can either choose to accept some changes now and prevent total catastrophe later or we can deny the truth until catastrophe proves us wrong.
