- Except for solar every power generation system requires concrete. Coal and gas plants aren't built on soil and nuclear takes ungodly amounts of concrete. This is a nonissue bad faith talking point.
- Metal is recyclable and turbine blades last the life of the unit, 20-30 years. Link a source for the 7-10 claim. Also landfills are fine, do you think your cities trash ends up as fairy dust?
- If you think 300 gallons of oil is a big deal you don't know anything about industrial machines. Look up KT3406E on Youtube, he refurbs CAT engines and I was surprised many of them are filled with drums of oil instead of quarts. Also you do think a gas turbine takes no lubrication? Nonissue bad faith talking point.
- Notice the tricky bad faith language here, It takes 3~5 years to install a wind farm. A "farm", that means dozens or hundreds of turbines, he's trying to make you think a single turbine takes that long. Meanwhile there's a decade long waitlist to get gas turbines.

Your entire post is a worthless racket.

To their credit the music industry did figure this out, whether by accident or intentional. You don't hear about music piracy pretty much at all anymore because you can get a subscription to like 90% of all recorded music for like $10/mo these days and in many cases can just listen for free with ads. Sure you don't "own" it but the convenience-to-price is huge and there's still vinyl and CDs if you want to own it.

The people left pirating are that slim minority on private trackers who want to trade pristine FLAC collections, the what.cd and waffles crowd.

I'll check with your mom tonight. Zing!

You seem like a fellow liberal so I can level with you, it isn't good that Pelosi and other Congresspeople profit so much bit Democrats are also the only people willing to do something about it and I would welcome outlawing individual stock trades for all electeds and senior government people, as part of a long list of systemic reforms.

But with a Republican? Not one inch, that's the playfield they established. I surely am not going to beaten over the head with my own values when they hold none of them.

1. You have no evidence that Pelosi insider traded anything and her husband has always been a wealthy real estate investor and venture capital guy.
2. The Pelosi's are worth somewhere in the $300m mark and she has served 20(!) terms in Congress, that's 40 years.
3. Trump and his family have made north of $2 billion since 2025
4. Democrats have for years had bills to ban stock trading with scant Republican support.

So who's ignoring what again? TDS is what you are infected with.

"It's 108 degrees outside"

"Yeah but you know, it's a dry heat"

That cannot be done unless we change our attitude about what we put into our atmosphere and how we respect the air we breathe. That requires us to meet head-on the serious threat of global warming. -Bill Clinton, 1993

Let's speak plainly and accurately, a particular group of politicians say the scientists are wrong and they say that for no other reason than to gain a craven political advantage by being oppositional to that group of politicians who believe the scientists.

Biden right now, today as we speak, is more cognitively coherent than Trump.

Here's the challenge: Submit a video clip of Donald Trump discussing a topic, policy or issue and demonstrating a cohesive understanding of it, where he shows he's done the reading, absorbed the information and speak about it in an intelligent manner.

Anything at all, please submit. Should be easy right, he's the President.

Once again, next time just say "I don't understand how global markets or the global petroleum industry works" because this response just confirms you don't understand.

But hey, continue to slurp up whatever you are told from your X feed.

And don't you dare start actually learning something sir, you have a reputation to uphold!

Partial credit, that's a small part of it but that is also connected to the actual answers.

The biggest reason is the majority of those deportations were done at the border itself, it was CBP catching illegals around the border and sending them back, every one of those is counted the same as deporting someone from a town or city.

But yes, the fact Obama didn't make a fascist spectacle out of the day-to-day operations of immigration enforcement is also a piece of, along with the fact that that the admin at the time still held to some degree of human rights, for example they were allowed to make phone calls.

Do you really think I have an issue with Ukraine bombing warehouses?

For someone clinically obsessed with me you really don't pay attention to what I say.

Why do you think the deportations under Obama was less controversial?

Your answer to this will say more than you know about your politics and worldview.

Next time just say "I don't understand how global markets or the global petroleum industry works"

But hey, neither does the POTUS so you're in similar company.

Do you admit that there isn't actually evidence of any of those things?

Regardless of whether is is true or not can we once again take some time to remember how completely fucked it is that the current sitting President of the United States operates his own crypto coin. That the admin built an official untraceable bribe machine and it's not even the only one!
