If CO2 were the issue, a world war would be the answer. Too many people breathing are killing the planet.
I read something the other day (maybe on here) that AOC's only purpose is to grandstand and be so outlandish that the other bullshit the dems try to pass seems mild in comparison. Like others before her, she's being used to further an agenda. It makes perfect sense.
I disagree, in fact the opposite is true. AOC is forcing them to out crazy each other and they were not prepared for her to jump in so hot. They now have to ramp up their crazy to compete. AOC unseated one of the swampthings, she was not planned. Most all of the Dems have signed onto the GND, Booker even compared it to fighting in WWII. They are all in for the crazy train and AOC is leading the charge. You just wait and see, any Dem that is suspected of even having "moderate" thoughts will be rejected by their party. Last year Tom Perez said that if you are moderate, please leave our party. AOC is the new Democrat normal.
We'll see. Remember, it's not just dems that crave power and control. There are a lot of RINOs who'd love to expand their reach by offering ideas that "seem" sane compared to this GND stuff.
Good grief. Way to circumvent the Godwin rule. This equation is awkwardly hilarious.... It's bit like watching 'The Office' (British version)....
It's been snowing a lot in MN so I've had some time to think while snowblowing the driveway. All the talk seems to revolve around transportation and "the grid" - eliminating fossil fuels. What is going to happen to the small engine industry? You're telling me you're gonna mow 5 acres with an extension cord? How many battery packs would that take? Maybe it's time to start up a goat rental business. That said, it would be neat to have a nuclear powered lawn tractor!
You will surrender your home and be allowed to move into a government housing unit in the metropolitan zone, comrade.
It would get pretty damn cold in my house without natural gas. Not to mention losing the ability to bake pies. I guess we will be replacing my vintage home with a shiny new green dwelling, anyway.
Maybe everybody will get a free yurt ? Will I still be able to burn firewood ? That's green isn't it ?
