Comment Want to press China on global warming? (Score 1) 261
It's easy, just stop shipping US and Canadian coal, oil, and LNG to China.
Period.
Everything else is sound and fury, signifying nothing but hot air.

Think about it.
Even when you "turn them off" they can still be turned back on by any official at a higher government level.
So if a city or municipality turns off theirs, the county or state can turn it on, and it will be turned on during high level fed visits.
Naturally, they can neither confirm nor deny this occurs.
It's not like, since 2010, that China, India, and the US are responsible for creating all the increased climate change gasses for Global Warming.
Oh.
Wait.
It is.
Just end the fossil fuels subsidies and tax exemptions and cheap land and sea leases and the entire system will fix itself. This is why Adam Smith, the Father of Capitalism (and a Scot), warned against the anti-capitalist Mercantalists.
Normally, our scale goes from 33 to 160 bpm, but one of our studies had someone who did triathalons and had a resting heart rate of only 30 bpm.
Mine's below 40, used to be a lot lower when I ran a lot more.
1. Did Netflix think it could get away without offering 1/3 Canadian content in Canada in both English and French?
2. Why do they need subscriber data (unless it proves Netflix isn't addressing 1)?
It's Canada. You don't want to deal with Canadian regulators, don't do business in Canada, it's that simple (and, yes, I do have a degree in business in Canada and have run businesses and worked for them there).
The referendum was a binding vote because it was approved by the Queen and Parliament in the confusingly titled "The Scotland Act 1998 (Modification of Schedule 5) Order 2013"
For centuries, Canada was just something approved in "The British North American Act".
Not that confusing.
Canada was created in 1867, only was not considered Britain in 1947, gained independence in 1982 (yes, I know you don't know this, you're American, you probably think Canada is a state).
Oh.
Wait.
Too soon?
Oh, wait, no that's us.
Walls can't be built higher than corporate jets can fly.
That's what drones are for
Why are you being modded down? The wars are almost entirely off budget. Maybe they'll make up for it with asset forfeitures..
They can't handle the truth. They believe in fictions written by some old lady who collected social security and received other government subsidies she railed against.
That's my guess.
But, yes, the US has an unfortunate tendancy, since the War of Independence, and the Civil War, continued to the present, of always fighting wars off budget. Which is where the budget deficits come from. Social Security pays for itself and has always had a surplus, and still does.
No we told you about those
The debt is mostly from wars that were not paid for.
It also ignores the 50 percent of military budget that is in the "black budget", as well as the NSA and the other four three letter agencies we don't tell you about.
About time this happened.
Next up: removing tax exemptions and tax exclusions for corporations.
Corporations aren't People.
People pay taxes and go to jail.
So, basically more.
Unless the Atlantic conveyor belt shuts down, in which case NYC is doomed, as is Atlanta.
An Ada exception is when a routine gets in trouble and says 'Beam me up, Scotty'.
