[QUOTE=Jckgmn;2537008]Mining operation, transportation of materials, refining materials, and construction of electric cars produces more carbon emissions per car than the cars already on the road. It's better to drive our current cars into the ground. So why the push for green? Control. Kerry knows this. AOC may not.

If you really want to help the environment, ride a bike.[/QUOTE]That may be true but they don't require more than ICE cars to manufacture. Given there are 63 m ICE vehicles manufactured each year it is the ongoing pollution costs of these vehicles that will be eliminated. Its been 25 years since I owned a vehicle though I have often been assigned a work vehicle.

[QUOTE=Canada;2536952]John Kerry, AOC and the socialists plan for USA to get to zero emissions. Zero emissions means not one plane will be flying. Are you saying zero is not zero? Even CNN and MSNBC are touting this. Unbelievable that you didn't hear Kerry speech. He said the world is done if we do not achieve this. USA only puts out 10% of world emissions China and India are building new coal fired power plants. They are easily going to exceed what the USA is reducing. USA is supposed to suffer and ruin their economy so the rest of the word can succeed? Lower income families are already having problems paying their power bills. When they double with renewable energy what happens then? Are you socialists just brain washed Why do the American people have to suffer because of the stupidity of our new government.[/QUOTE]They are claiming zero net emissions. I thought an investment genius such as yourself understands what net means. It means lots of new jobs in installing that cheap renewable power, new transmission lines, charging stations, breathing clean air, all the jobs dismantling obsolete refineries, cleaning up the contaminated sites. The economy will be booming. Don't worry just for you we will throw in a horse to drag around your ICE vehicle. You could even get yourself a gasifier to turn the horseshit into gas so you can start the car to go up steep hills.

Remember: Blowing smoke up people's asses pollutes.

[QUOTE=JohnClayton;2537004]I'm amazed by the fevered hysteria in these posts. Why are John Kerry and AOC so terrifying? Why does the prospect of driving an electric car engender this much fear?[/QUOTE]The government is going to tell us what kind of vehicles we can drive.

But Canada keep worshipping your dear leader and keep praying for the return of his corrupt cesspool.

Biden to avoid public appearances until they're done canceling all the sexual harassers and racists.

"Washington, the. See. —Inside sources say that President Joe Biden is going to avoid all public appearances for a while. This is due to the current climate of increased scrutiny on sexual harassment -- such as with Governor Andrew Cuomo -- and past racism -- as is happening with Dr. Suess books.

"With everyone trying to find people to cancel who have been inappropriate with women or have been racist," said a White House staffer who wished to remain anonymous so people wouldn't know he is associated with a sexual harasser and a racist, "it seems like a good time for Biden to lie low and let people forget about him, just like when he was vice president. ".

This new policy was reflected at the latest White House press conference, where White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki announced at the beginning that she would not take any questions about the president. "Let's talk about something else today," she said. "Anyone seen any good TV shows?

Biden is reportedly just hanging out quietly in the White House, eating ice cream and napping and hoping President Trump makes some noise so maybe people will talk about him. He will start making public appearances again as soon as it's once more okay to harass women and make casually racist remarks -- or at least okay for a Democrat. . . ".

We aren't talking about Trump anymore None of the above has anything to do with Trump Why is it you socialists avoid any questions on what your president and your government House and Senate is doing Why can't you answer the question? Do you think if you ignore it it will go away? Or possibly you agree to be controlled by the government. Everytime you are asked to explain a socialistic item you can only run down Trump and avoid the question. I didn't even mention the Biden corruption but I am sure you are avoiding that question too Do you really think Dr Seuess is racist?

[QUOTE=Canada;2537433]Do you really think Dr Seuess is racist?[/QUOTE]Dr. Seuss was born in 1904 and died around 30 years ago. He was from an earlier era.

His heirs publish his books and decided to drop 6 titles in order to best preserve the value and marketability of the rest of the catalog. They made the decision a year ago, but announced it just this week.

It seemed more of a business decision than a political one. Racist themes may be bad for mass market sales forums.

His writings remain popular, earning an estimated $33 million before taxes in 2020, ranking his estate at #2 in dead celebrity earnings behind only Michael Jackson.

[b]Doesn't this remind you of Hitler and USSR and Chinese Communist party?[/b]

Why is it different?[/QUOTE]1. No.

2. Only a demagogue with zero knowledge of world history can utter something that stupid. That's why.

The US hasn't thrown people into ovens. The US has not killed tens of millions or sent them to GULAG. The US hasn't done anything resembling the Cultural Revolution.

Not even under Trump.

However, if things ever did come to anything like that, that would happen under someone like Trump. Like GDreams put it rightly: "The last 4 years has been as close to totalitarianism the US has come. ".

And seeing how millions of his brainwashed followers continue worshipping the ground this conman walks on, one wonders if it was just a rehearsal and totalitarianism might come back with a vengeance one day.

My post was certainly about Trump and his sheep. But assuming you are discussing the drivel you wrote I will once again set you straight as I always do with your misguided and factually incorrect statements.

1. I am not a socialist by any definition, nor am I a communist. There a certain services that governments more effectively provide than private enterprise. Private enterprise certainly needs to be regulated and taxed.

2. I have never read Dr Seuss and don't care if he was a racist as it does not affect me. I do understand that the people managing his legacy made a business decision to remove a selection of his books from publication. It is their business decision but I'm sure if you are desperate to read them there will be some collectors market or file sharing source where you can get for kiddy thrills for the day.

3. The government is going to tell us what kind of vehicles we can drive. Yes the Government works for the social good of all. They will make emissions regulations, provide subsidies, adjust taxes and duties to achieve an outcome. Within that you will have a vast array of choice of vehicle and manufacturer so no they won't tell you what vehicle you can drive, just that it complies with the laws at the time.

4. The government is going to tell us how we will heat our homes. Yes the Government works for the social good of all. They will make emissions regulations, provide subsidies, adjust taxes and duties to achieve an outcome. Within that you will have a vast array of choice of electric, heat pumps, insulation, clothing etc to keep warm.

5. The government will tell us what jobs we will have. Noone is making any proposals to do this. Just you making stuff up to argue about non existent grievances.

6. The government will tell us what books we can read. Noone is making any proposals to do this. Just you making stuff up to argue about non existent grievances. There are always some things that are restricted such as adult content or censored but that is very rare.

7. The government will tell us what to we can watch. Noone is making any proposals to do this. Just you making stuff up to argue about non existent grievances. There are always some things that are restricted such as adult content or censored but that is very rare.

8. The government will tell us what news is acceptable. Didn't Trump do this? Just you making stuff up to argue about non existent grievances.

9. The government will tell us activities we can do. Such as?

10. The government will tell us when we have to wear mask. Yes if it is for the general good.

11. The government will tell us what history is acceptable and eliminate any history they don't approve of. Well that has existed since the beginning of time. The victor gets to write the history.

Do you have some sort of mental problem that you are in a constant state off stress about stuff that is not really happening? Well maybe for the last 4 years when dear leader was in power but now rational competent people are in power. Chill and be happy that the world is moving to a better place.

The truth is simple, the libtards on this site are brainwashed. Everything they accuse Trump and the Republicans of are what themselves are guilty of.

Pelosi was fully aware that Republican politicians had been shot by one of her fans when she tried to trigger a new terror attack by branding Republicans "domestic enemies."
