The Trump Administration DID take it. Then it was ruled unconstitutional because it was a revenge move over a prank against one of Trump's rallies.

I'd wager your choice of news sources never told you about that.

Uh huh. And when a wind farm goes up you bitch about lack of storage. Good thing guys like you come along so others have something to spend their mod points on, huh.

Someone is blissfully unaware that Hawaii has to import coal to keep the lights on.

Is it? I stopped going to malls because they stopped having shops I want to shop at in them. (arcades and hobby shops, for example) The story I heard was greed over how much the mall wanted from the shops for rent, not lack of foot traffic.

Uh huh. I shouldn't tell you this but your like-minded buddies are now switching tacts. Now it's "we shouldn't have done anything at all to address climate change.", because somehow doing things like improving mpg in cars made it worse. If you're convincing enough you can continue to play off your increasingly-foolish apathy as "i meant to do that".

I hate this defeatist logic because it's just silly. If they can slap a fee somewhere else they will do it right now.

coffee gatekeeping... how petty.

'Public safety' is the term you're dishonestly trying to shoo away.

Because you lot pull your chicken little act whenever gas prices change.

So?

I remember when I had an unlimited plan with AT&T mobile. They were throttling people without disclosing what the threshold was. I got into a spat with a CSR because they kept telilng me that it won't be a problem if I use wifi. "Of course I won't get throttled on it of I don't use it!" I think just remembering it is raising my blood pressure.

I *really* don't like being told not to use something I have paid for. I don't know if there's more nuance I'm missing here, but in general I do not have a lot of patience for ISPs playing games with the service to squeeze out a nickel. Not a single internet-consuming device in my possession was designed with data limits in mind and my ISPs profit margins are not something I am the slightest bit concerned with.

This year I got to see the finales of Doom Patrol, Disenchantment, and Loki, all were really good.

I really enjoyed Picard, too, but I feel like I was born just the right year for it.

Resident Alien is a bit older but I only discovered it this year and loved it. Twisted Metal was unexpectedly fun, too.

You are doing what you claim you hate.

You can generate electricity, even from gasoline, but you cannot generate gasoline.

You two are having a silly argument.

Actually a judge recently ruled that Trump attempted an insurrection. Most of your foundation is crumbling beneath you but your anger is directed at the messenger instead of the guy that still hasn't shown you one lick of evidence his attempted insurrection was righteous.
