    Now They Can’t Give It Away

    Renewables look fantastic until you take away hydro. The only way to extend hydropower easily is to add pumped storage, which is extremely expensive and only works in areas with enough of an altitude difference to make it worth while. We're rapidly running into the point where all the "easy"...

    The "Justice" system is broken

    I suppose that depends on what your goals for the justice system are. If you're interested in rehabilitation, then longer, harsher sentences are a clear failure. If your goal is just to lock people up punitively then it does a pretty good job. Higher standards of living don't necessarily mean...

    SCOTUS replacement for RBG

    The subject was you trying to push this false idea that Democracy and Republics are somehow mutually exclusive or somehow incompatible. Even when shown multiple examples, you continually use logical fallacies to try and support your claims (hint: if you have to use fallacies, your claim is...

    "Socialism", by any other name...

    But if we were allowed to have true, unrestrained capitalism, you could just use the power of the markets and not buy the fuel from the producers who polluted the water supply! That would fix it for sure!!!

    If you removed every piece of regulation in regards to coal, it would still be more expensive than natural gas.

    SCOTUS replacement for RBG

    You don't even know what democracy is. So stop trying to name drop things you haven't even read yourself. Besides, Bakunin > Rousseau

    What punitive regulation? Coal is losing because natural gas is dirt cheap. It can't compete. Once fracking became common, coal was done.

    SCOTUS replacement for RBG

    False dichotomy. You assume that a democracy must use a simple majority for everything. There is no such hard and fast rule. You can even have representative democracies. Also, I never said the USA is a direct democracy. I said it practices democracy. It uses the democratic process. You are...

    SCOTUS replacement for RBG

    The Electoral College is not a hallmark of a Republic. It's an outdated piece of our Republic. No other republic on Earth uses such a system. I'm not sure why you think there is no American Democracy when we are having an election in 4 days time in which tens of millions of Americans are...

    You don't consider the long running stability of these systems in other nations, to be proof of their efficacy? Can you even articulate a reason why?

    The most important election of our lifetime or more media hype?

    You don't know what socialism is so you call it communism because you don't know what that is either.

    "Socialism", by any other name...

    I can almost promise you, I'm not. :) Most of us don't wear it like a hat. But really now, nobody here has espoused anything like actual communism; Marxist, Leninist, Castro or otherwise. Pressuring politicians for social programs with a proven track record of success is not communist. We look...

    The most important election of our lifetime or more media hype?

    Full on communism? Like actual Karl Marx communism? Shit! He wants less government than the Libertarians! Sign me up! or are you one of those boomer types who thinks any social program is the evil commie stuff?
