I had a good po boy in MS. Then a waddling white dude told me to be careful in NOLA because there are n-words there.

Also, the transition chair has nothing to do with setting the campaign's or future EPA's policies.

Harrow posted:Lots of my "voting for Clinton but not too happy about it" friends are pretty worried about Ken Salazar's appointment as her transition chief due to his pro-fracking (and anti-any sort of fracking regulation) positions. I mostly agree that it's a pretty big misstep but I'm wondering a) how much it matters and b) what people who are generally pro-Clinton can/should do about it. Well, first I'd invite them to learn what a transition chief does. Sounds to me that they're mad about someone they disagree with being on their team, so I'd advise them to "suck it up".

Fitzy Fitz posted:Isn't Clinton pro-fracking? Last I could find on Clinton's stated fracking position is: quote:I don’t support it when any locality or any state is against it, No. 1. I don’t support it when the release of methane or contamination of water is present. I don’t support it — No. 3 — unless we can require that anybody who fracks has to tell us exactly what chemicals they are using. http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2016/apr/13/bernie-s/does-hillary-clinton-support-fracking/ So it's a slippery position, but as I read it, it boils down to: "Don't force fracking on any place that doesn't want it; shut it down when you can prove water contamination; regulate it to the point that most companies are gonna be like, 'nah, not worth it.'"

So yeah, let's attack Clinton on being friendly with Putin when you're right hand man is transparently in the pockets of Russian interests. It really is too bad that film is more or less dead with the switchover to digital because all of the Trump campaign staff are excellent projectionists.

I mostly agree that it's a pretty big misstep but I'm wondering a) how much it matters and b) what people who are generally pro-Clinton can/should do about it. Of the reliable methods of actually producing sufficient baseload power, nuclear has the least carbon emissions, and natural gas has second least. The U.S. has been able to significantly reduce its carbon output in the last decade, and it is mostly due to a transition to natural gas from coal/oil. True, there are valid points to be made regarding fracking regulations and avoidable emissions and negative local geologic effects, but those opposed to fracking generally are opposed to it entirely, instead of having specific addressable concerns. In short, ask your friends what would be better than natural gas (keep in mind that getting a nuclear plant online takes several years, if they are not also opposed to nuclear) and see if they say something reasonable. Chances are they won't, in which case you can educate them or ignore them.

The Delta is some place that I think everyone should visit. It's a mix of some intense musical and food heritage wrapped in a literal small third world country. It's insanity and I don't think most people understand how poor that area of the state is and would have their minds blown that someplace that ragged and desperate exists within the US.

MS pride chat always reminds me of that quote from WAR FOR STATES RIGHTS!!! where a Tennessee unit was engaged in heavy battle at shilo, most of the men were laying down to find cover when a Mississippi regiment charged in shouting "Out of the way Tennessee and let Mississippi in!". a few moments later they were routed and some Tennessee guy yells out "Out of the way Tennessee and let Mississippi out!"

Inferior Third Season posted:"Environmentalists" love to just say 'no' to each method of producing baseload power. They are against nuclear, oil, coal, and natural gas (by way of being against fracking). They live in a fantasy world where wind and solar are capable of providing baseload, and everyone can and will magically voluntarily cut back on their energy usage. That helps my own understanding, so thanks. I'll bring this up the next time my friends and I talk about this.

As a side note, Mississippi's declaration of secession is the most bitchmade pissbaby document ever produced by a government body, and it's all crying about  OUR SLAVES without even the slightest pretense of being about anything else.  Mississippi would be a hilarious black comedy state if it wasn't for all the making GBS threads on the large minority population.

Brannock posted:All the better reason to start now instead of hemming and hawing about it as our planetary climate and ecology transforms all around us. Yeah, but it's mostly an uphill battle because while environmental groups have been flooding the place with ads and propaganda for decades on the dangers of nuclear, the nuclear industry has really done nothing to promote itself, so public opinion is really, really against nuclear. When the subject does come up three names pop into heads straight away; 3 Mile, Chernobyl, and Fukashima. No one will look into either to understand how it either wasn't as bad as was said to be or how it was a botched situation that's pretty much impossible to happen now, but yeah. Ignorance is bliss, as they say SocketWrench fucked around with this message at 17:34 on Aug 17, 2016 |

Someone a while back posted an article talking about what Clinton's first 100 days might include, as well as her transition team. I am having the damnedest time finding that article on my own, so can someone help me out? I, too, have friends who seized on Salazar's appointment as a(nother) signal that Clinton is unredeemable. I'm not worried about convincing them, I'm worried about them demoralizing our mutual friends who don't have the same unhealthy obsession with politics that I/we do.
