"was impeached, not convicted" you're being pedantic and you know I meant convicted. Yes, he was impeached... but not convicted so that's the end of it. A democrat house impeached and a republican senate found him not gu

The problem with that is - as demonstrated by the RvW over turning - is that it's not what the law says - since there was never law backing RvW. It's what THIS court says vs what PREVIOUS courts said. The good lawyers giveth... th

Those other countries also have problems and people with money still go elsewhere when they need help. Rationing exists. Long lines exist. Denials exist. Shortages of doctors exist. etc. The problem is that the conversation only focuses on

And it's gotten worse the more the government steps in to help. The problem is the suggestion that government solutions will solve government created problems. I have no problem admitting things can be fixed... but stuff like the unAff

Yeah... and the people that commit suicide in the parking lots waiting on help? They are chopped liver? They don't matter. "it's not perfect" It's garbage and a prime example of government programs. Works for a few

maybe if regulations and taxes weren't so high, there could be more competition? Transparency and the like would help... Increasing taxes and removing alternatives is never a good deal. "market forces aren't enough" gove

Yes... lets make life more expensive by getting rid of taxes. The reason life is so expensive OBVIOUSLY isn't because of the massive and ever increasing tax burden. NOOOO of course not. Its because people aren't taxed enough. So l

Carbon Neutral is the term I was looking for so thank you for that. Don't give up good in the pursuit of perfect. If we get a few of these types of solutions - IE Growing algea to pull it from the air and burning it to get electricity

The question is what's the circle? for all the "ZOMG You're just burning it back into the sky!" worries - which are legitimate in a sense... this seems like a usable circle where CO2 gets pulled from the air and turned i

"the question is how it scales" and which mega corp is going to buy and bury the tech. But seriously... stuff like this ("ZOMG MIRACLE BATTERY! MIRACLE SOLUTION! ZOMG!) seem to disappear because it takes years to turn an idea

It doesn't take supply away... but it does add overhead and middle men - which increases costs. Those investors need returns on their investments - whether you agree with capitalism or not. "more supply" which is why I includ

Inflation makes everything more expensive (light bulbs, nails, electricity). Regulations to make stuff "safer" also makes stuff more expensive. Places like CA have had a housing shortage for decades - they are short on houses buil

"outside of the US" its still true. Outside of the US, do people think that truth can be changed because you aren't in the US? Just deny literally 100+ years of history? The only way Socialism works is in The Utopia that&#x27

I know causation isn't correlation but all you have to do is look around and see that given more opportunities? people take advantage of others. AKA: more "criminals". "the only reason you're not killing your neighb

Crime is historically low... as crimes like theft are decriminalized. It's easy to say there's less crime when you make stuff not a crime. For reference: all the stores closing because of all of the theft not being prosecuted or t
