It operates as a monopoly and 10,000 hotels have sued it for anti-trust in Europe. Despite qualifying for DSA thresholds, the EU pretends it doesn't exist and is not a monopoly. Because it's not American.

People are very quick to make kneejerk reactions to tariffs while assuming the other guys have different opinions. The Biden admin went after Canada repeatedly for unfair trade practices, and issued a blanket 10% tariff on Chinese goods. Th

US emissions has declined in real terms since 2000, and has plummeted rapidly on a per capita basis. So, yeah, all of those sources have declined in emissions. Particularly automobiles, as the US pioneered EV development.

A spy overstating water usage by 1,000x to influence opinion is not relevant to a discussion on the very thing they overstated and started the debate on? How do you figure that?

96.6% of new energy capacity in the US came from green sources from 2024 to 2026 (nuclear, batteries, wind, hydro, solar). In China, in that time period, they built 52 brand new coal plants.

It is not aggressively using water. That figure was a lie produced by a likely CCP spy, and later retracted ("oops!"). [1] [1] https://x.com/tbpn/status/1990950527128252856

Completely false and epic revisionism. 96.6% of all new energy sources in the US from 2024 to 2026 were green. Nuclear, batteries, solar, wind, hydro. You know people can just look this stuff up right?

Huh? He signed it and evangelized it heavily, speaking about his strong support for the bill. He said the IIRAIRA "ratifies my administration's comprehensive immigration strategy". In the 1996 State of the Union he strongly c

Biden's infra plan was $550bn in new spending, which was offset in only $50bn of new revenue and $110bn of spending reductions. So, on net, it was massively inflationary and toasted the budget. That was just one proposal with half a tr

The spending floodgate cannot be turned off or reduced, only directed towards the current admin's pet projects and away from the previous admin's pet projects. This is true for both parties.
