I responded already but a perfect example of government efficiency is Medicare, which is 16% cheaper than private Medicare replacement programs for the same services in the same population. And Medicare has better outcomes as well.

The biggest government program is socialized medicine, aka Medicare. The “market” aka private health insurance, costs on average 16% more than Medicare for the same services and population. Your view of government efficiency is tilted by decades of corporate media manipulation and is blatantly false.

Completely unrealistic delusional comment. People are going to drive.

For every percent increase in EVs on the road, the air pollution decreases an equivalent percent.

When you combine "Libertarian" with the greed that is typical in the ultra wealthy, their core value typically only includes liberty for themselves and no empathy for others. You can use any party label you want but without empathy, members of every party are nothing more than selfish pieces of shit. Just to be clear, I am not a "they're all the same" idiot, as Republicans clearly think empathy is a four letter word. But there are sociopaths without empathy everywhere in society, especially in the US.

As far as universal healthcare is concerned, we can't even agree as a society to provide clean water to our population by removing leaded pipes. Why would we expect something as reasonable as universal healthcare?

Yes and in return Ukraine eliminated all nuclear weapons. This will be an example used for the future for why countries will NEVER agree to denuclearize regardless of the language in a “treaty”.

You couldn’t be more wrong. ICE alone kills more than 250,000 people a year in the US alone from air pollution. And converting transportation from 100% fossil fuel to grid electrification is delayed but 100% necessary to have ANY effect on climate change. I meant to phrase it as one or the other as we need to eliminate all fossil fuel burning ASAP.

This entire thread is about being an idiot by not voting so that “absolutely worse” wins.

The EV industry can’t shake its human rights abuse problem

Because nearly all these stories pushed by the fossil fuel industry have been debunked. Meanwhile burning fossil fuels ALONE kills more than 250,000 people every year in the US.

This is and always has been a proxy war and a siege meant to exhaust Russian resources slowly and without rapidly escalating to more destructive methods.

lol we get it comrade. You’re butthurt the leader of the USSR (which AGAIN doesn’t exist anymore) didn’t get a deal in writing. Hilarious that of all countries, RUSSIA is crying because they think it’s “not fair”. When has Russia ever kept its word, ESPECIALLY with Ukraine. Go back to your delusional echo chamber you will find no support here.

From your own link: “None of NATO’s pledges to the leaders of the Soviet Union have been written down in any agreement, signed by the two parties and codified.”

Hey Russian asshole. First, the agreement was with a country that no longer exists (USSR). Do we need to respect territorial agreements with ancient empires? Second, if a sovereign nation ASKS to be a part of NATO peacefully for its protection you think NATO should refuse because you’re butthurt you can’t go invade that country? Hopefully every country in the world joins NATO except Russia China N Korea and Iran. You can then all rot with each other.

The Villages

Citizens v United bitch. You fucked America and deserve to rot in hell.

The US will not recover socially or economically from another Trump presidency. His massive tax cuts for the extremely wealthy alone pushed us 20 years ahead on worsening wealth inequality. Deregulating all industry and corruption at all levels would complete the decline into a banana republic and hasten the coming climate refugee crisis from the coastal areas. If America wants a 1/2 billion dollar tax fraud who loves to rape women and fuck porn stars who has never worked an honest day in his life so be it. Count me out.

It’s a double whammy to say radical woke.

Porque no los dos?

Consumer and credit card debt would like a word.

There seems to be an awareness void concerning the concept of who uses the most carbon and the creative non regressive ways in which those taxes can be distributed. I’m sure that’s a coincidence though…

How about a carbon tax?
