Darn tankies!

So calling out Oliver for not talking about capitalism is being media illiterate? lol

I don’t know why JT from Second Thought continues to associate himself with these people.

Haven’t seen it yet, but hearing Will, Felix and Hesse on Chapo compare Alex Garland to Aaron Sorkin in terms of how they both revere journalists was something I didn’t expect and something I found really funny considering all the people who have tried to defend this movie.

Ok, good bit.

THE CLIMATE CRISIS has propelled nuclear energy back into fashion. Its proponents argue we already have the technology of the future and that it only needs perfection and deployment. Nuclear Is Not the Solution demonstrates why this sort of thinking is not only naïve but dangerous.

Even beyond the horrific implications of meltdown and the intractable problem of waste disposal, nuclear is not practicable on such a large scale. Any appraisal of future energy technology depends on two important parameters: cost and time. Nuclear fails on both counts. It is more costly than its renewable competitors wind and solar. And, importantly given the need for rapid transformation, it is slow. A plant takes a decade to come online. If you include permits and fundraising, this adds another decade. And we should not forget the deep roots it has in the defense industry.

M. V. Ramana’s powerful book destroys any illusion that nuclear is our answer to climage change, untangling technical arguments into simple and sensible language. Importantly, Nuclear Is Not the Solution also unmasks the powerful groups with vested interests in the maintenance of the status quo, currently working hard to greenwash a spectacularly dirty industry.

Wow, I’ve never heard that one before! Thanks for the comment!

Thanks!

Ehhh, don’t read about their drummer.

For instance, the behavior of the police in China was a revelation to me, They are there to protect and help the people, not to oppress them. Their courtesy was genuine; no division or suspicion exists between them and the citizens. This impressed me so much that when I returned to the United States and was met by the Tactical Squad at the San Francisco airport (they had been called out because nearly a thousand people came to the airport to welcome us back), it was brought home to me all over again that the police in our country are an occupying, repressive force. I pointed this out to a customs officer in San Francisco, a Black man, who was armed, explaining to him that I felt intimidated seeing all the guns around. I had just left a country, I told him, where the army and the police are not in opposition to the people but are their servants.

I completely agree with him and would go further to say that this “dirtbag left” shit sense of juvenile humour is past its use-by date. It was funny for a while a couple of years ago. All the jokes are old and it’s time to move on.

Posted this in the other thread. Unbelievable people take this person seriously.

I don’t understand how anyone can take a person like this seriously.

If it was done for no profit, but people’s cars were still getting towed to out of the way places, it would still be a problem. Also if there was no profit motive than I don’t think the predatory tow industry would exist.

It’s as bad as you’ve heard. They’re pretty much cops without badges (some even carry guns) in how they target people who may or may not be able to afford the hundreds of dollars it would cost in order to get your car back from them. And that’s if you can figure out a way to get to their base of operations if your only car was towed.

Don’t forget she was caught changing aspects of her life story like last year. lol

Don’t forget the episode that was both right after the 2016 election AND Leonard Cohen’s death where Kate McKinnon played Hallelujah dressed as Hillary.
