His argument is completely valid. Just because you don't "feel" it is valid doesn't refute the facts. Wind and solar support fossil fuels.

Plus, solar, wind, and batteries are bad for the environment.

Well to add to the AC's post, I have it already on my Lenovo X1 Carbon from a few years ago, and the AC is thinking on the right track.

So to prevent being abused by SJWs, you suggest exiling myself?

Literally incorrect, as AmiMoJo mentioned it first by all observational standards.

Why can't we have intelligent discourse on this site, instead of this polarizing nonsense?

Yes good points regarding difficulty of all roads.

The efficiencies they're talking about are more along the lines of a trip taking a reasonable amount of time. Where my trip to work should be 25 minutes (no traffic), today it was 40 minutes. One woman in front of me was driving stupidly as she put on her makeup. If she were in a self-driving car instead, then she wouldn't have contributed to the traffic problem. Removing these inconsistent drivers would lead to less time on the road. So therefore, your choice would be between driving and sitting on the brakes for 40+ minutes, or waiting (but not driving) for 25 minutes.

Furthermore, I forgot to add that pointing to the places in the world that are worse is valid, when the reason they are worse are the consequences of what Bernie is trying to say.

Is capitalism great? No.

Why don't we do Socialism? Because people suck, in general.

What is the best system, taking into account that people suck? Capitalism.

Should those people you mentioned have been prosecuted? Yes. Hopefully that changes. But to strive for this "perfect" world you speak of with imperfect human actors in charge is a recipe for disaster.

Right now it is just Wall Street that wasn't prosecuted, but in the new Democratic Socialist America you can start to see all kinds of people who are immune from prosecution for their malicious or bad decisions.

But what about all the millennials like myself and my friends who went to engineering school and things are pretty good?

You have choices, and to my peers who went into "communications" and came out with any debt at all are suffering as they wait tables. Just because you made an easy but uninformed choice doesn't mean the entire world needs to reset.

Going to post-secondary school is not the answer. Going into a field that (gasp) has DEMAND for jobs is a good answer. The millennials who went to trade or engineering schools are singing a different tune than their Bernie-supporting peers.

But as an addendum, for anyone wanting to understand more, say you are in a society that I am "bashing", the quality of the environment is just horrible. This lack of quality everywhere is what would leave the greatest effect on the aforementioned American college students.

OK great, you don't need a car. But it seems more that you can't afford one as opposed to not wanting one? Having a car is, at the basic level, the freedom to go to your garage, get in a car, and go where you want.

For the places in Eastern Europe that I've frequently visited over the last 3 years:

• The air reeks of diesel.

• The quality of everything is terrible; tiles on the floor, indoor or outdoor walls (why is everything so crooked??), the roads, everything seems like the guy who made or installed it was drunk, stupid, or just didn't care.

• If you are really a programmer and did not have excess money for savings or leisure, then try to see what went wrong with your situation in the US. That might happen for those on the bottom of their career in San Francisco but the United States is much bigger than the bay area.

Yes I'm sorry I should have said "Post-Soviet". As in other comments I think my description of "Eastern Europe" doesn't match that as people who believe they live in "Eastern Europe."

As far as experience I travel ~7 times a year to a "Post-Soviet" country that would like to consider themselves in "Europe", but are geographically more in "Eurasia." As far as this country is concerned on the potentially most eastern edge of "Europe," I don't see any of what you are saying.

Perhaps you live in a Polish city or Prague (or similar), which I personally don't consider "Eastern Europe"? If you are from one of those places and you consider yourself in "Eastern Europe", perhaps you should change your branding to something else, like "Central Europe"!!

Yea sorry, I think my descriptor is off. I don't personally consider Prague as "Eastern Europe", in my mind.

Sorry to me I think of Poland as being in "Europe". Maybe a better descriptor would've been "Post-Soviet"?

My only solace is that America is still immigrating a substantial proportion of their population. The "backhill hillbillys" of America who "love Capitalism" need to realize that their most benevolent Capitalistic friends are immigrants, who fought to get to America over the bullshit from where they came, and these "millennials" (of which I am one? but whatever) are the spoiled idiots who have yet to see what destruction their misinformed "opinions" can bring.

People only see and evaluate their experiences; what they have lived. If you put these same college students into another system for a couple months they might change their tune.

All it takes is a trip to Eastern Europe for any American to realize their world is pretty darn good. But given modern politics we might have to bring the Post-Soviet style problems to America firsthand before they can realize the situation.
