Comment Just to be clear... (Score 1) 93

There is a segment of American society that thinks:

1. Illegal aliens should be allowed into the country in spite of there being laws against it.

AND

2. Foreigners shouldn't have free speech in America in spite of there being no laws against it.

Seems to me the Russian goal of divide and conquer is working very well on that segment of society.

Comment I've overcome it. (Score 1) 111

I finally realized that no mater how much I cared about the world, no matter how angry I got about politics, no matter how much I raged for the environment, there was absolutely nothing to be gained by being plugged in 16 hours a day. Now I check the news maybe once a day, and live the best life I can, only paying attention to those in my immediate sphere of influence.

Living without the constant anxiety has improved my life immensely, and now I don't add to the stress of those around me by feeding into their own stress cycles.

Comment Re:Paris accord is a scam (Score 1) 1109

There are no costs mandated by the Paris Climate Agreement. It was non-binding and had no ramifications if we didn't uphold our end of the bargain. It is hard to not just spout expletives when responding to your comment since it shows such an immense lack of knowledge and the belief your ignorance should be considered in public policy.

How can it simultaneously be non-binding and also the EOTWAWKI?

Comment Re:Regulatory capture (Score 1) 384

Energy is expensive really, it only looks cheap to the end user because much of the cost is either hidden in tax funded subsidy or externalized to someone else

You need to be careful with this kind of talk.

It almost sounds like you are suggesting that the rich/corporations pay a lot of taxes that keep the costs of living down for the regular people, and that directly contradicts the consensus that the rich/corporations are nothing but leeches on society.

Comment How close is close? (Score 1) 179

People keep saying, "They really only make a difference up close." What is up close? In my media room the 55" 1080P TV is EXACLTY 8' 6" from my eyeballs when I am in the couch. Would I see a difference upgrading to a 4k, curved TV? Yes, I know I would see the 4k. I am wondering about the curve, at the distance.
