When World War 3 is over, we won't have to worry about carbon emissions for another thousand years. Why worry? Nothing is going to change until WW3 happens. The worlds economies are all tied into emitting carbon. Progress can be defined as emitting more carbon. You are a third world poor country if you are not emitting massive amounts of carbon.

WW3 is inevitable at this point.

Legally, they actually can't force you to resign, so they can make them fire you. I'm not sure how that plays out in court after a lawsuit, though.

When you do not show up for work, they have just cause to fire you. The fact that they moved the work 2 thousand miles away is irrelevant, especially if the judge is friendly to the employer... which they almost always are.

No. The US constitution applies to every person on US soil and any person that interacts with the US legal system.

What are you talking about? It applies to the protection of wealthy "white" men and does not apply to the protection women, children, non-"whites", social outcasts, and the poor. Squeeze some lemon juice an the original Declaration of Independence and heat it up. You will notice these restrictions on who it applies to then.

You can still post as AC, but you require an account. This is regrettable technical limitation due to inability to control the spam.

Huh? I do/did not need any help avoiding spam. I had to go looking to see all of the GNAA posts and such... so I didn't search for them so I didn't see them so it wasn't a problem. Removing anonymity was the absolute wrong call.

The moderation system mostly works; despite it being abused by people like rsilvergun to ensure that his moronic (he is almost smart, but believes that Democrats can save us all) messages are heard... and removing anonymity didn't help at all with that bullshit.

I get so weary of people who can't "see" 20 feet in front of themselves.

BOTH parties are for the consolidation of wealth into the hands of a few. I don't care which party wins if it means that I lose. Does it matter to me that Democrats will have cool looking uniforms when they send the death squads rather than the boring grey/black of the Republicans that the Republicans will bring? No, it really doesn't matter to me. Both sides will be coming for me, the only difference will be in how they come.

The Democrats let RFK be a cabinet member for health. There is no recovering from that. Of course, it was the Republicans that nominated him to begin with. Both sides fucking suck green donkey balls. Period.

Yet another "uniparty" claim, attempting to somehow make Democrats appear to be just as bad as the GOP.

In the context of pure evil, the Republicans are clearly worse. You are still voting for evil if you vote Democrat. "Hey, I am going to shame you for voting Republican because the Democrats are less evil.", with the response of, "I don't care if the Democrats are less evil, they are still evil!"

Comment Re:Next stage of Fascism (Score 1) 59

This is additional evidence of a fascist takeover of our government.

Who cares about labels? I suspect we will need new labels for this anyways...

If you gather control over all resources into a the hands of a very few people, then government itself is merely an intellectual exercise. The reality of the situation is that the people who have everything have the ability destroy anyone. Or, as I have been saying for decades: You don't matter. You either go with the flow or you do not exist and if you are too cowardly to die over it, you sit in prison until you do die.

Fuck these assholes.

Silicon Valley officers, fresh from their LinkedIn bios and skipping boot camp, take command of a recon drone unit.

That will not happen. Nobody commands anything in the US military without going through OCS (officer candidate school). These dumbasses getting rank will still not be able to command even the lowliest private/seaman in battle. They will be authorized to tell the lowliest private/seaman to do some paperwork or clean a latrine.

Their costs onto all of us? Remind me again who burns hydrocarbons. Is it the oil industry or the industries customers?

Customers who need energy to do their own business are not also in the business of offering energy; therefore, they use what the energy companies provide. The energy companies provide coal and gas powered energy. Their customers do not get to choose. Telling the energy customers that they are wrong is to essentially tear down all of modern society. Telling the energy providers that they need to provide cleaner energy is the only recourse any non-energy company has. They do this through lawsuits with which the energy companies ignore.

Why don't you tell everyone how to solve this issue rather than trying to make the customers feel guilty about their need of energy?

I drive a car regularly. If I were to accidentally kill someone while driving - even if it were truly just a bad luck mistake, and even in a world where bad luck car accidents are statistically inevitable, I would be held accountable. Financially.

Everything you said except this quoted line is accurate and reasonable. I read in the news almost every day about how someone was accidentally run over and nothing being done about it.

Seems an unnamed generation is retiring to owning to much property outside a corporation

I can see why you didn't name the generation. I am not aware of ANY generation that favored its fellows towards wealth. My parents lived a more "luxurious" life than I have. That is merely because the wealth was distributed more evenly; however, there was still lots of inequality back then.

Ageism is similar to racism in that many innocents get blamed for the actions of a few that contain the same markings as the innocents.

Do you suppose these numbers might have some underlying context? Like... I dunno... the majority of the global population being in colder climates?

You couldn't be more wrong. If you killed off everyone that lived in between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn, you would destroy far more people than Thanos did with "The Snap".

I probably should have bolded the "i dunno" portion.
