  • that makes sense. were the past couple of generations just stupid or was the media environment just so limited they had no way of knowing they were being lied to? or was it a bit of both?

  • it's not a sophisticated trick, and it works because liberals are too cowardly to call it out

  • the thing is that EVs are agnostic to their energy source. you could get 100% from your own home solar panel setup if you wanted to

  • so few people live in rural areas (as opposed to suburban cowboys who wonder why their :rural area" has so much traffic) that it's a rounding error. like who cares about the middle of nowhere. it's a distraction to even bring it up. this conversation is explicitly about metropolitan areas

  • but why should that 15% derail conversations about the vast majority of the rest of the country?

  • reform zoning at the state level and put in protected bike lanes literally everywhere. also kind a lot of people can do a little biking. I can so some trips by bike in by inner ring suburban area

  • Disease X is a standin for planning purposes. They've been planning for The Big One and COVID-19 qualifies. They're probably planning for the next one incorporating lessons from COVID

  • The whole expression of personal freedom thing feels like older people parrotting something they heard on a TV commercial. It makes sense considering that a generation or two would go television commercials were highly effective method of brainwashing and statements like that have little bearing on reality

  • Anarchist communism

  • Entertainment Things Are cheaper than they were decades ago whereas housing and Health Care are way the fuck more expensive. Back in your day a computer equivalent to an iPhone cost as much as a house whereas today even a basic house cost what a supercomputer did back in 1965

  • Fail

  • corposhit used to at least be worth paying for with all it's flaws but they're shitting it up so bad it's increasingly not even worth it in the slightest

  • so it's not the democrat's fault when they don't do anything even when they literally can, and have been able to several distinct times?

  • half their economy is oil. the other half's bleeding out

  • all trump has to do is more and more fashy shit while not being physically stopped, by the courts, democrats or the American people. you can say "he can't do that" all you want but if he does it and isn't punished then yes he can do that, whatever "that" is no matter how extreme, and you are letting him though inaction
