Well yes, if you're discussing the American left, you're spot on. But you said it, I didn't.

Except, of course, where the entire Iberian peninsula lost power for two days recently. So...

Isn't Venmo owned by PayPal?

Yes, he represents kleptocracy in nihlism. That. *is* what the left wants.

It isn't that expensive upstate and in winter you could have a lot of cooling from outside air. However, they are trying to stop the use of fossil fuels - good luck in a state that cold.

Yes, but a bunch of the well off lefties on slashdot still think 'nobody has ever tried REAL communism/socialism/whatever.' I'm evil enough I could wish they'd get their wish and they'd be told 'thank you comrade, now face the wall.'

Oh my goodness, you're going to be a trillionaire with that invention :) (Grin. IKR? Rail cars are incredibly weight efficient now - I was amazed in fireman training how easily one can push "train car wheels" down the tracks. Using extra fuel, of any type, lowers profit margins. Folks seem to think that mechanical things are still in the 1800s)

Environmental consequences? Maybe. But there's more than just that: folks are used to having stuff from around the world all year long. You can buy strawberries in January in North America. This kind of reconfiguration means 'going back to doing things seasonally.' I doubt whether folks in northern climates will want to eat root vegetables all winter. (FWIW I do tend to eat fairly seasonally, that's what "frozen and canned" are for in January.)

Well since the 2001 tech downturn techies have been told 'X is coming for your job' whether it be outsourcing, AI, and whatever the current crap of the day is. Being old, when I got my degree I knew the software engineering skill was an up and coming skill. Now? Why bother?

Adult education to teach useful skills for particular jobs.

Yes, look at the green new deal scam, the trans scam, the "81 million votes" scam. I absolutely agree. We're the best at creating scams.

It's designed to create a permanent underclass, just like every business and government agency has been doing for the last 70 years.

No, because BLM has been discredited. Not that black lives don't matter, they do - but the organization was one of grift nothing else.

There is nobody anywhere in the world who should be in charge of such power. What, do you think if the Democrats were in power all would be lovely and peachy? Ha! They're INTERNATIONAL socialists not NATIONAL socialists but their end goals are identical to the 'national' ones.
