the water table is too high here to build a basement but since potable water and most regional aquifers will become depleted we can indeed inherit basements soon enough

Wasn't al gores dad owner of a zinc smelting company or something? It's exactly that baby boomer mentality of "gently caress you, got mine, why can't you get yours you lazy kids?" (It's because they took it all already)

berth ell pup posted:Wasn't al gores dad owner of a zinc smelting company or something? It's exactly that baby boomer mentality of "gently caress you, got mine, why can't you get yours you lazy kids?" Hey Al! Do you mean you watched Bull Connor, THE DEMOCRAT? Is that the Bull Connor you watched turn hoses on civil rights demonstrators? What’s that? You heard a lot of racist comments when you were young, Al? Were they from the mouth of your dad, Al Gore, Sr.? After a quick Google search, I found out that Al Gore, Sr. voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964 when he was a Democratic U.S. Senator from Tennessee. Not only did he vote against it, he participated in a 74 day filibuster in an attempt to delay and weaken the legislation. BY THE TIME the younger Gore was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, the Gore relationship with Hammer had already begun to transfer from father to son. In the 1960s, Gore informed Hammer that zinc ore had been discovered near the Gore farm in Smith County, Tenn. Hammer, who owned Occidental Minerals (a subsidiary of Occidental Petroleum), bought the land for $160,000, twice the only other offer. But after buying the land, Hammer made a strange decision at least from a business standpoint. Rather than mine the zinc-rich land, he offered instead to let Gore buy it from him. Then, once ownership transferred to Gore, Occidental starting paying Gore $20,000 per year for the mineral rights to mine it. After the first payment, Gore Sr. sold the land to his son for $140,000. Gore has received a $20,000 check in the mail almost every year since. Perhaps even more astounding than Hammer’s decision to sell the land and pay royalties is that Occidental never actually mined the land. In 1985, Gore began leasing the land to Union Zinc, Inc., a competitor of Occidental. Gore still receives $20,000 a year in royalties. In all, the Hammer-engineered sweetheart deal has put hundreds of thousands of dollars in profits in Gore’s pocket.

gore was quite stupid because he distanced himself from billy despite clinton being very popular among dems. if he had clinton out there stumping for him jeb wouldn't have been able to steal the election in florida. he really was hillary before hillary.

there are lots of bona fide environmental causes. "climate" isn't one. It's just the postmodern expression of slaughtering a calf to make the crops thrive.

Virtue signaling is always a worse term to use than actually explaining yourself. I have to say that until "fake news", neither side really noticed how lovely it is to make up new buzzwords every day and hope they become hashtags, I remember articles proposing new ones and poo poo. Just keep making new words up to shut others out of your incrowd that fit in a tweet.
