like the liberals once they get used to the free food,free ___.
Your ideas are keeping lots of people in a state of survival, instead of a state of thriving. That doesn't just hurt them, it hurts your country. Poor people don't create wealth for your country and they don't consume a lot. The products that they do consume are mostly low quality, unhealthy food, which only benefits some producers and resellers, but those don't add much to your economy either.
This is because of the War with Iran and tariffs. Who, other than the president, is responsible for this? No one. Let’s get rid of the Republicans and the Clown after.
from low turnout and Democrats always benefit from high turnout.
That's why Republicans always try to limit voter turnout, by:
1. Limiting Mail-In and Absentee Voting
2. Implementation of Strict Photo ID and Citizenship Mandates
3. Aggressive Voter Roll Purges
4. Adjustments to Polling Access
Trump is now polling around 32% approval and 65% disapproval.
Traders place the probability of Democrats winning the House at 90%.
There is a 63% probability of a total Democratic Sweep.
Trump has a roughly 9% to 22% chance of keeping his full majority.
Turning Point Action does not release formal statistical probability models. They are 100% an opinion based medium. They don't predict the election with percentages,
they are framing the midterms as an 'absolute emergency' for the MAGA movement.
That means that they are very worried.
Don’t forget when trump won the 2024 election you still were insisting that Kamala Harris was going to win and cat had to tell you that it was true trump won
You can quote any rag, any web site, any source about how great he has been, but, at night, while you lay awake in bed, with Marcy at your side, you know the truth. And it’s not what you’re so hard trying to convince.
I’m sorry for you. It’s bad for us to swallow his crap, but, you? You’ll have to admit some day that you were duped.
We will see after the midterms
Besides inflation, there is also 'depreciation'; loss of value against other currencies.
Inflation means that you can buy less for your dollar in the US.
Depreciation means that you can buy less for your dollar outside of the US.
The dollar lost more than 10% of value against a broad basket of major global currencies since President Trump took office for his second term on January 20, 2025.
INSTEAD of being given to a bunch of bastards that won't work, lay around on drugs and steal shit like the dems want to spend it on
It will make every product more expensive that isn't made in the US, or that was made with raw materials from outside of the US.
On top of that your president added the tariffs. It can be a good idea for products that you want to make in the US, but there are so many raw materials and products that you just don't have. That is hurting consumers and it is hurting manufacturing. It's making American products more expensive, which is impacting your export.
phart said that trump is putin's puppet.
How WRONG he is!!!
CAT52! Do you think phart will be annoyed that I used a bit of Norwegian language to refer to his mind ("mind" I mean) as calabaza cabeza?

Another way of putting it,
If you can't impress them with knowledge,baffle them with bullshit,and that is what YOU try to do.
Anannas and I don't agree on alot of anything.But he is at least civil and will take the time to explain his thought process, instead of just name calling and etc.

DGraff, Phart
has wuhan virus came back or something else worse?
Has your retirement accounts crashed?
Other than fuel prices and a few other things costing a bit more, i would say we are doing ok. and even YOU should be able to understand the high fuel prices are being fueled by those morons in the middle east because they know folks like you will vote against their enemy,Trump because you blame him for it all. He is doing what Reagon shoulda done a long time ago.
Phart, denial doesn’t make it false. This president, this Clown, is absolutely the worst president this country or any country has ever had.
Take your “terrorists”, your “wuhans” and give it a rest.
The actions of your president result from a stable situation, with a nuclear deal
that kept the world safe under Obama, into genocide. That's your ideology.
I predict with 95% certainty, that you will never have a better deal than that, and that Trump will be forced to take a loss, and explain it as a win, maybe even without any deal. Why would the leaders of Iran trust the US to ever keep a deal? Do you still think that the international inspectors come back for Trump?
It will leave you with an Iran with more extreme leadership than the ones who were killed, a people who will never trust the US again to help them resist it and who are now further away from becoming a modern society, because their economy is in shambles. They will need to be kept under even stricter control by their government, to crush their discontent. Iran will arm themselves even heavier at all costs, and they will put all efforts in their nuclear program in upmost secrecy, because that's the only thing that will keep them safe. When they have lots of them they will present that to the world, and ridicule the US.
That’s in Biden’s time. Now it’s at least $4.50/gallon

FYI, Biden was the President
Cat., this means people like you are willing to harm or kill the President just because you don't like him., even you should think that is kinda sad.
I believe that he should be removed from office. He's a dangerous, demented, incompetent Clown, but, by legal means.
The solution is to for you and folks like yourself to make your own stand and say we want this legally, and not answer a survey with "yea just bump him off will be fine".
They are protesting what he does and says on a daily basis,
because no president has ever been as corrupt, evil and bad for the US.
While your president is pushing through his madness ILLEGALLY,
you want Democrats to make their own stand and say what they want LEGALLY,
WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE DOING.
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.

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.

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.
