The Glumslinger posted:I swear I saw something that if something like that happens in France, the older person wins French election law mandates a recount and if the recount is a tie, then it goes to the older candidate. In the U.S. ties are handled on a state-by-state basis. Almost every state determines ties through a coin toss or drawing of straws.

Don't worry, the people who think that will keep thinking that win or lose.  disjoe posted:Clean coal is the biggest god drat boondoggle and waste of government money. Yeah but clean coal also requires a bunch more coal per MWh so you end up needing to mine more coal. Then you add in the fact that clean coal means you can burn dirty coal again (the insane cost of the clean coal equipment dwarfs traditional scrubbers etc) so you can reopen a bunch of dirty mines that got shut down when the sulfur rules went into effect. More coal and cheaper dirtier coal too! It is win-win!

Good news! Remember when Trump was elected and Ford announced that they were cancelling their plans to build new factories in Mexico? Trump already made an impact before he was even sworn in. http://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/ford/2017/06/20/ford-import-focus-china/411600001/ quote:Ford to import Focus from China instead of Mexico

Fuschia tude posted:The conservative estimate from the CBO was that 23 million Americans would lose health coverage over the next decade. These are mostly Medicaid recipients, the neediest in the country. You expect removing their access to health care will not cause even 9% more deaths than otherwise would have occurred had this population remained insured? The statistical estimates are between ten and forty thousand additional deaths annually.

I'm so utterly conflicted with regards to NK. That regime having a nuclear weapon with an ICBM miniaturization capability is so incredibly destabilizing to the most potent region in the world where there are no good options. If the regime collapses, which it inevitably will, no telling what happens. With the weapon, they cannot be touched. They show no signs of stopping nor is there any reason for them too and we have the biggest loving idiot in global politics in charge. Boon fucked around with this message at 19:47 on Jun 20, 2017 |

Turns out that one or two election cycles does not determine how voters are going to vote even two years in the future, but I guess we should read really deeply into this election bc it confirms our brokebrain doomsaying. What about "Dems are going to win but not nearly enough to undo the evil that Trump's regime is going to carry out."

If the NK regime collapses, i can honestly imagine many nations offering massive relief/aid in exchange for the warheads. I'm hopeful.

They sabre rattle every few years when they want some aid, we give them money, and they continue. Nobody really wants to do anything about them because it's a desperately poor country and giving them cash is infinitely cheaper than dealing with the fallout of an actual collapse. They're the junky cousin we pay off so they go away. Trump, of course, is an idiot and will gently caress this up.

Yeah sure, there will be a global relief effort organized by the UN, but if the regime falls those warheads are only going to be secured by special forces or destroyed at range. I'm not sure what you think a regime collapse would look like, but it's not going to be orderly.

Jaxyon posted:NK is basically doing it's own thing. They sabre rattle every few years when they want some aid, we give them money, and they continue. NK exists only because they've held a gun to the head of Seoul and the US didn't want to risk engagement with China again. That gets jacked up by multiple orders of magnitude once NK is able to drop nukes within the region. The US and China will quickly reach a point in the next two years where they will have to decide whether they will work together in disarming NK, probably forcibly, or not.

No, but here's hoping that the carrot outweighs the stick in that instance. There are possibly some NK military brass who will know what the enormous exchange rate on nukes would be. Orderly, no. If the offer of national aid does not fly, a few people could get very wealthy very quickly.
