Solar and wind are trash. Nuclear is the only real way forward.
As someone who works adjacent to that industry you are 100% correct.
posted by CenterBHSFanAnd mountainous debt that the same people you speak of now want everybody else to pay for, starting with student loan forgiveness.
It’s funny people always bitch that we spend money helping people in other countries and always say we should support American people but then no matter who people want to help, Vets, Homeless, Teachers, Poor Americans, the answer is always “No not like that”
posted by CenterBHSFanAs a side note, I never buy food at Walmart. Their produce looks like old beat up whores and it just turns me away from all of their foods.
When I go there it's for things like maybe cat litter or toilet paper. Never food lol
The Walmart by my house has surprisingly good beef and even good briskets at times. I would never buy produce outside of maybe potatoes or corn if it’s fresh in the summer. I did really want to buy this 70in Tv they had for like 300$ the other day and I don’t even need a tv. When people say cheap stuff at Walmart this is what I think of. That tv probably will last 4-5 years and you would easily have your moneys worth lol

Straw man.
But just to be clear, there is a difference between sending money to fund wars to another country and spending our money to help Americans. If you, geeblock, cannot differentiate between the two, there is not much anybody can say to help you along.
I, myself, have said before that if the choice was before me, I would keep that money here and help so many people who need it.
And to further my thoughts on that, I would much rather help the homeless get on their feet again to be able to live a productive and meaningful life rather than help people with student loan forgiveness. Blame it on working in an ER environment and the necessity of triage. Whatever.
This deserves its own thread. I won't hijack this one any further.

My dude and I go halfsies on a cow every year. We would never eat that much beef on our own, so we give some cuts and ground beef to family or friends we know that have kids. We also do the same with pork.
We also frequent farmers markets a lot for some fruit/veggie staples. Also there are some Amish roadside stands that are a shortish drive away where we can pick up whatever else we want. Living in our area has its uses lol!
I do buy poultry from stores, though. I get my eggs from a cousin.
I've had my TV for about 10 years now. I don't really watch too much tv. Mainly football season. But with my working at a hospital and weird hours, I usually just watch highlights on my phone now.
So Steve Bannon is out of prison. Will he have any effect on Trump's campaign in these final days?
Comedian calls Puerto Rico garbage, libs lose their mind.
Not to be outdone, Biden decided to call all Trump supporters garbage.

Not only does this kill the PR news cycle (which was grasping for straws), it also took away from Kamala’s closing argument speech, which was one of her best speeches.
Why was Joe even broadcasting anything yesterday? He keeps doing things that makes you think the revenge of Jill is real.
posted by kizer permanenteAll I see is another strong argument for less government, which for some reason is laughed at even though the majority of both sides will tell you how the opposite party does not give a fuck about you.
Also… spare me the BS that republicans care about made in the US. Couldn’t be further from the truth.

Funniest part of this is that Jon Stewart, the comedic "champion" for the liberals, basically said the comedians' comment was pretty much a "nothing to see here" moment and the media was losing their minds over something stupid. Inviting a comedian, who specializes in roasting people to a function, and not expecting him to roast someone, is like asking a dog not to bark. Maybe not the best venue to do it at though.
As I mentioned on another thread, and has been alluded to here. the Dems have nothing positive to say about Harris so they are trying to nitpick anything possible down the stretch with their "but Trump" mentality.
You still have to admit when you are already battling having a reputation for being racist nazis, it seems like an incredibly dumb idea to bring out a comedian to talk about blacks, Mexicans and Puerto Ricans. Not sure what the idea was there.

Only stupid people believe those folks are racist nazis.
Shockingly... the same stupid folks were offended by the jokes.

The ironic thing about all of this is that if Trump and his crew are "Nazi's", they are fully supporting Israel.
Israeli's were surveyed that if they could vote in the US election, who would they vote for? Over 2/3rd's were for Trump. Yeah, Nazi's.

A huge number of his followers that support Israel do it because they believe the state of Israel is fulfilling biblical prophecy - that’s it.
Most Israelis wanting to vote for Trump is not surprising. That’s their best chance of the US keeping the financing of their country and the supplying of its war making alive.

I've said here before much the same thing. This was when she was set to give speeches and he'd hold a presser lol

Comedy/comedians were never meant to be politically correct. The job is to push and desensitize.
I won't go on too much of a tangent, but comedians/jesters have historically been known to open social mores and have even had some influence to sway Kings on policy. Some even faced torture and death by dancing a little too much on raw nerves.
Nell Gwyn made Charles II laugh, sometimes at her own expense.

Is there evidence to support this claim? Where can I find this survey?

I get that i do understand what comedians do lol. However it wasnt a comedy show and the jokes didnt come off that funny for me. I could care less i was just saying it seems like terrible strategy. If the comedian was hispanic i guess maybe it would have played better. I actually thought trotting out hulk hogan who is known to be racist, and playing Dixie as the walkout song for Byron Donalds was a worse look than the comedian.

Comedians don't have to be a certain ethnicity to tell a joke about any person or group. What a backass way of looking at it. Technically it's a racist argument.

i think the determining factor is if its funny and also if you are at a comedy show. Didnt pass the bar for either. Not sure who you would appeal to or how that gets you votes.
