Hahahahaha. That’s so funny.

I’m legitimately worried that environmentalists will become the next sjws.

aren't they already?

Yeah. To an extent, but I’m worried it will get worse.

its just not in the news. Maybe with the IPCC report

It’s already bad, but I’m afraid that they will try a massive power grab in an attempt to control people’s behavior. You already see it in California.

well California will abandon that....They got a few boulders rolling down on them which are going to dominate them soon

Yeah. That’s a good point. I wonder when things in California will come crashing down.

maybe a incident...say a homeless person kills someone and it goes viral.....a slow stock market and their budget goes to shit....the Calipers(Pensions) admits their fucked.....maybe something I hadn't thought of

Who knows? The retail price of electricity doubles because of their regulations.

Oh yeah water and electic could do it too....

not to mention the housing market in say San Fran is insane

I talked to someone from San Fran. Their house had no yard and 1000sq ft and is valued at 1.5mil......I told him my house has twice the space 10 acres of land and costs 10% as much

Yes. The biggest reason why retail electric prices are high is regulations.

I thought Cali was going to go under but the Trump Bump saved them. Still waiting for the 1 state to go bankrupt. Illinois is in the lead but don't count out Cali or NJ

NY would be my dark horse

The city of Birmingham went bankrupt.

Massive corruption scandal.

Birmingham Alabama?

I know cities like Stockton CA and others have gone bankrupt and then are trying the stupid idea of UBI

Yes. Not too long ago the county (not exactly the city, whoops) went under. Big scandal involving sewer bonds. Unsurprisingly, a Democrat was responsible.

oh.....still less than Detriot 20billion. Come on Chicago you can beat that!

Yeah. I think it was the largest bankruptcy at its time. Roll tide.

Detroit has been the biggest.....Unless you count Peurto Rico....70 billion

maybe 88 Billion depends how you count

Puerto Ricos electric utility went full socialist. They tried to give free electricity to people. No lie. Unsurprisingly they went bankrupt

everytime I looking into Puerto Rico it was a mess. Not suprised on the electricity aspect

There’s something wrong with the Latino culture that causes them to want socialism.

I wouldn't call it socialism. I would call it authoritarianism..

Ok.

and I would say its very rare for people to say to their governement leave me da fuck alone

Maybe it’s the Catholicism. Lol.

I think in some ways its human nature. the ideal that you can vote someone to make your life better

It probably is. (I mean no harm to Catholics. I’m just a dirty Protestant - what do I know? Lol)

Going back to a conversation I missed, the problem with viewing Marx as an economist is that I'm pretty sure that he was the Bernie Sanders of his day: some asshole that managed to make a pretty good living for himself without accomplishing anything at all of value.

Marx also grew up fairly well-to-do

his family owned land

yes marx was a 1% er

he married into nobility as well

and he also was working off bad science....

I had a really weird dream that Kavanaugh actually did step down.
