Trump has had more than 300 achievements in his presidency two great constitutionalists on the Supreme Court fought for border security and safety tough on the second amendment and is making America great again record low unemployment for minorities many great things he will win in 2020

@McBacoon How do you do the black box quote?

2018-12-16 00:37:06 UTC  

@atheist4thecause I see we have a Zeihan follower here

2018-12-16 00:37:50 UTC  

three of these on each side

@Tyberius D who/what is Zeihan? OH! Zeihan is the guy I quoted earlier. I actually don't know that much about him, but he is someone I want to watch more closely in the future. I follow Scott Adams and he retweeted Peter Zeihan.

2018-12-16 01:14:48 UTC  

@atheist4thecause Post a link to Scott please?
Zeihan is the guy who got me into Geopolitics, and the reason I am back in school for economics

2018-12-16 01:20:33 UTC  

Scott Adams is the creator of Dilbert. He wrote a few books including "Win Bigly". He's a hypnoist and economist as well. He's big into persuasion, and a big Trump supporter. He predicted Trump would win.

I highly recommend his periscopes. They go on about 9 am ET every day usually, but sometimes it varies.

2018-12-16 19:09:34 UTC  

@atheist4thecause It's a bit naive to say that the market will automatically gear towards other sources of power

2018-12-16 19:09:44 UTC  

It dosent work like that

2018-12-16 19:09:58 UTC  

Other sources of power are nowhere near as reliable as fossil fuels

2018-12-16 19:10:11 UTC  

They don't produce as much energy as readily and are less easily stored

2018-12-16 19:10:19 UTC  

That's why we can't rely on them at the moment

2018-12-16 19:10:37 UTC  

So it's not a simple as "the price will rise so tha market will switch to sustainable energy"

2018-12-16 19:10:54 UTC  

It's too late by the point that fossil fuels start to run out

2018-12-16 19:11:27 UTC  

Also you can't run vehicles off of power sources like wind and solar

2018-12-16 19:12:21 UTC  

You can't simply let the market dictate it because its not as flexible as other sectors

2018-12-16 19:12:52 UTC  

Renewable energy needs lots of funding and years of scientific research still to be a viable replacement to fossil fuels

2018-12-16 19:13:20 UTC  

It's just ridiculous how dependant on fossil fuels we are and that cannot be understated

2018-12-16 19:13:39 UTC  

The same logic applies to nuclear because that has plenty of problems on its own

2018-12-16 19:14:00 UTC  

Nuclear power stations are huge pieces of infrastructure and you can't simply build one when the market feels like it

2018-12-16 19:14:22 UTC  

They take years upon years to assemble and even longer to disassemble

2018-12-16 19:14:30 UTC  

Plus a whole host of environmental problems

2018-12-16 19:14:43 UTC  

All this stuff is why we need investment in these new sources of energy now

2018-12-16 19:14:49 UTC  

And we need to put focus on them now

2018-12-16 19:15:04 UTC  

So that we are prepared when we can no longer rely on fossil fuels

2018-12-16 19:15:43 UTC  

Trump has over 300 accomplishments as president he will go down as one of the greatest presidents in history Trade Border wall strengthening the military USMCA making America great again

2018-12-16 19:15:43 UTC  

GG @Kenpachi, you just advanced to level 4!

2018-12-16 19:16:43 UTC  

Not talking about that...

2018-12-16 19:16:55 UTC  

Also he hasn't built the border wall

2018-12-16 19:17:07 UTC  

As far as I know he's got nowhere in his trade war with China

2018-12-16 19:17:20 UTC  

Admittedly he's been decent at diplomacy in Korea

2018-12-16 19:17:31 UTC  

But he's also done some really stupid shit

2018-12-16 19:18:27 UTC  

Like try to implement a ban on people coming from muslim countries to "stop terrorism" when not a single one of the countries that one of the 911 attackers came from was on the list

2018-12-16 19:19:02 UTC  

He tried to ban transgender people from the military claiming it "costed too much" when the millitary spends more money on fucking viagra

2018-12-16 19:19:44 UTC  

He's pulled out of the Paris climate agreement when literally almost every other country on earth has agreed its a good idea

2018-12-16 19:20:07 UTC  

He's got rid of NAFTA and replaced it with something that is basically the same, just slightly worse
