You're right, 21 C is a more reasonable room temperature. Now it's "only" a 36-51 degree delta.

Why the hell would anyone allow biodiesel to be used when it generates carbon dioxide? It doesn't matter that it's not a fossil fuel.

Covering the roof of every home and business with solar panels? Now that sounds practical and totally not an overreach of government power!

Use the money you save to buy electricity on the open market when you need it.

Electricity produced with coal. Let someone else do your dirty work!

I'm curious how a command economy with what amounts to a captive labor force runs out money.

Because people aren't machines, and by having a philosophy that precludes rewarding them for personal performance (and an inability to whip them into submission without incurring the wrath of the global community) you guarantee low productivity.

I'm afraid your countrymen are ignorant. Who was the leader of a superpower who opened a dialogue with Gorbachev? Helmut Kohl?

I think the problem is that Obama is ignorant of the 19th/20th century slang usage of "bully" as TR used in the phrase "bully pulpit", and thinks that he has to actually act like a bully. He claims that he can get things done without Congress because he has a "phone and a pen," launches personal attacks against legislators and his critics, and uses the genetic fallacy in his arguments regularly.

Wow-- isn't that a mega straw man, pointing out that a speech didn't bring down a wall. Who the hell says that his SPEECH (written by Peter Robinson) caused the wall to be brought down? It's often suggested it was his policies. Debate that.

If you're specifically selling guns to known criminals, maybe it's because the federal government told you to.

You're lending credence to the theory that veganism is a religion.

Besides being a post-hoc argument, please note that the existing regulatory environment is quite different from much of the rest of the world. And I could point out nations like Australia, where internet access is heavily regulated yet the performance is low.

The only way to actually fix the economy would be to increase the buying power of Joe Average.

The way to fix the economy is for the government to stop meddling with it by picking winners and losers.

More to life than money? OK, I'll take a raise out of your salary, then.

Or, if your employer isn't composed of managerial morons, and you're a high performer, they could try to retain you.

Fortunately for you, management didn't roll a natural 20.
