And more stupid is here.....A non-binding resolution which does nothing other than say....we will work on it...http://www.wunc.org/post/rep-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-releases-green-new-deal-outline
Some of the weirder parts.....Everyone having access to nature....not sure what that means
access to healthy food...what BS...if salad was selling well in the ghetto than it would be sold more in the ghetto or there food deserts
and...To develop high speed rail to a point which makes air travel unnecessary....
Seriously? Nobody uses trains outside of New England. I doubt that would ever work because it’s incredibly difficult to build projects like that.
I think that article even has a expert in the train industry who called that idea....A pipedream unlikely to even be feasable...
Yeah. It is a pipe dream. I’d use it if it ever got built, but I can’t speak for everyone else.
well to compete with air travel going across the country the train would need not to stop to be anywhere in the same time frame for going across the country. Also there would be some issues with a train going a 200mph or more across the ground so it would need to be elavated...
I would make sense to go between certain cities. Like between Boston and New York or Birmingham and Atlanta. It wouldn’t make sense to go across the whole country though
They’ve spent like a billion dollars on a high speed rail system in California and have literally nothing to show for it. The planning and bureaucracy have cost literally a billion dollars
That’s true.
It would be nice to be able to ride a train from Birmingham to Atlanta to get to the airport though.
Don’t have to pay as much (maybe) to use a plane and you don’t have to think about parking
oh also there is still the make every building in the USA energy efficient which is over 130 million buildings
@I Know a Fat Guy yeah. That would be incredibly difficult. There are people who honestly believe that it can be completely done.
I think they are enjoying writing headlines like these https://www.dailywire.com/news/43181/mandatory-train-travel-and-regulated-cow-farts-emily-zanotti
It’s frankly shocking how stupid she is
California is already regulating cow farts. No idea how much they're actually enforcing it, or what the effect has been
What‘s your job? - I‘m a CFI. - Cool, what do you do as a CFI? - I stand behind cows and count how often they fart.
This goes with the video i linked https://www.socialtheorywatch.org/
I want that made into an actual song
A for effort but I found it a bit cringe
Too many ad hominems
Not again!
This never ends well
we've never truly seen German hegemony in Europe
....do they want WW3? Because I think this is how we end up with WW3
I don't think we have to worry about german/french starting a WW3.
You think shadows?
Seems to me every single conflict of note comes from one bunch or another getting grandiose ideas and causing mayhem before eventually going down in flames.
And linguistic and cultural unions only last as long as they have credible external threats.
Consider the MOST successful ones in history, like the Medes and Persians, and some Indian and Chinese federations
I mean in the sense of how far the US has pasted everyone else in military power, if a german/french union (they wouldn't do anything tho). We could just destroy them before a world war started (if we wanted).
We have the start of the Green New deal https://twitter.com/mattsideashop/status/1093751905375858689?s=21
@I Know a Fat Guy Green New Deal Resolution Calls for 100% 'Clean, Renewable and Zero-Emission Energy Sources'

@I Know a Fat Guy read it and look at the comments. There are a couple insane ones.
I'll look...I'm thinking of being in favor as long as I can be one of those people who get money cause I can be unwilling to work
Lol
That hamster charging the phone is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen
