What a crock of shit. There have been several plans (Yucca Mountain for one) and every goddamn time some tree-hugging fuckers manage to derail it.

The real shame is there's a fuckton of energy left in that waste.. Much of it could be consumed to make power with the right kind of reactor.. but no....

No.. the fact that it hasn't been dealt with isn't the government's fault, mostly. It's the retards that would rather block every plan to permanently store it somewhere "safe" and so we're left with this shit sitting out in the open for 40-50 years..

The leftists in this country are so fucking hypocritical.. I'm watching it play out in real time with solar power. Every fucking plan to build panel arrays in my area is opposed by screaming lefties who don't want that shit anywhere near them. They don't even want to SEE it. Listened to these cunts demand renewables for decades and now they oppose solar farms, windmills (bird-kills), new hydro dams (the fish!), solar concentrators (near Vegas), and even plans to build geothermal plants out near the Salton Sea (some fucking desert tortoise or something). The last one would also produce enormous volumes of Lithium.. and the liberals oppose it.. I don't know how CA ever managed to get their battery storage online.. I'm sure the liberals were freaking out about that too..

To be quite clear, I certainly hope none of the aforementioned countries ever resort to hostilities. But, I am curious if you're actually delusional enough to think that all 3 countries combined would present a formidable challenge, were things to ever devolve to that point.

We've paid for our military (via debit, I don't dispute that). But you guys haven't paid for yours at all. That fucking free healthcare you love to wave in our faces was paid for by your neglect to your military. Y'all offloaded that responsibility to us. France to a lesser degree than the UK or Germany (though, Germany wasn't really permitted to spend "big money" on its military - so maybe not its fault)

C'mon.. All 3 countries, combined, have HALF the military manpower of our current active forces (not counting reserve and guard). We've got more carriers than the rest of the world combined....

Point is.. you sound like a clueless moron when you suggest that "all three" would actually be an obstacle. A tough fight, sure.. But, in the end, zero chance of victory on your side..

Again, purely hypothetical I hope. I do not bear ill will towards Europe.. But you don't get to have free healthcare AND a decent military...

Okay... That sounds like a Europe problem.. For the record, I think Google sucks and is a bunch of assholes.. But it also seems to me that you folks (assuming you're European) would rather levy fines than address the problem.. You'd rather bend what exists to your will than develop (or promote, I guess) your own alternatives.. I thought the internet was supposed to be the Great Equalizer.. No harder to type www.eurosearch.com into a bar than www.google.com... You just need to let your citizens know it exists.. Or, maybe the real issue is that your offerings suck even worse than Google and nobody wants to use them?

Will it? What about DuckDuckGo? Are the evil? Do they need regulation? What about Brave?

There are easier ways to announce you're a retard. Trust China? Okay.. I get it if you don't trust the US, but what kind of a dick-smoking retard thinks the better alternate is China? Do you fucks read anything? History?

No European search engines to choose from?

Must suck having citizens who are so retarded they can't comprehend using an alternate. Europeans.. too fucking lazy to type other words..

Not always, fucktard. The Constitution contains plenty of examples of powers that were given to both the states and the feds.

Not that I care that they're destroying the books. Their property, they can do what they want with them.. But your statement regarding the cost is moronic..... Cost is not a barrier for these companies.

Yeah. This totally offsets the widespread political murder they engage in. You're a fucking idiot.

Are you an idiot? Local models with a decent host app don't phone home.

You are an idiot

Are you retarded? It is a one-time fee, you inbred fucktard.

Are you arguing for China-level surveillance? It sure the fuck looks like it.

You're a fucking idiot. Compare the poor people of 50 years ago with the poor people of today, asshole.

It's not even close. Nobody starves in this country anymore (outside of neglect / drug use / mental problems)

Another Luddite moron. Are the AI's taking your shit from you or just reading it, asshat? Why do I suspect you're one of the morons who used to scream "Information wants to be free"? Sure wasn't stealing when all you slashdot assholes were downloading MP3's, was it?
