They're also people who recognize that climate change is an actual emergency and have abandoned the Republican party in the past decade so they're primed to be converted, but I LOVE STEAKS was/is at least part of their personal identity.

uh what  Like, from context the point of it seems to be "who cares about climate change when ABORTION" but (a) that's a complete non sequitur and (b) it is making the point completely incompetently like, does he think babies are aborted by being carried to term, delivered normally, and immediately put into a tiny guillotine, and even if they were what would that have to do with climate change I'd add "and does he think embryos are completely sapient, human in appearance, and capable of abstract thought from the very instant of insemination" but that's honestly bog-standard for pro-lifers so

Discendo Vox posted:Didn't LEDs just leapfrog the CFL from a couple directions? They're becoming increasingly ubiquitous. GW Bush signed a law phasing out incandescent bulbs over the next X years because CFLs were cheap and getting cheaper and they use like a tenth of the electricity. The lovely people who ruined our democracy for money screamed and hollered because regulating light bulbs is UNAMERICAN and anyway there's MERCURY in those things! By the time incandescents were actually phased out, Obama was in office so there was plenty for the reprobates to complain about, and the light bulbs just remained this open sore for our older relatives to sneer at when they couldn't find "real" light bulbs anymore. Manufacturers began wrapping the fluorescents in a bulb-like covering to placate idiot children, and within a few years LED bulbs were available, cheaper, and better able to provide light that "looks like a light bulb." Which I guess is an improvement, since they are easier to dispose of than CFLs (though for all I know the trace amounts of catalytic mercury aren't any kind of actual environmental hazard and that was all bullshit to begin with).

Life is as an ocean of possibility, draining into the aether drop by drop, until it is as shallow as reality. There is no greater a wrong than to be born in the first place. An infinity, destroyed. Would that we all face annihilation, so as all of mankind can glimpse the shores of that great ocean once more, and drown in its depths. -Pat Cross, probably

Discendo Vox posted:Didn't LEDs just leapfrog the CFL from a couple directions? They're becoming increasingly ubiquitous. Pretty much, but back when various jurisdictions were considering setting lightbulb efficiency standards (late 1990s - early 2000s?) some people were literally spite-hoarding incandescent bulbs against the CFL apocalypse.  Didn't help that in the process of making CFLs cheaper Chinese manufacturers also reduced their life expectancy from years to months.  The way they fail doesn't inspire confidence either even if they are just failing as designed and won't burn your house down in the process. (Don't let the magic smoke out around the civilians, it makes them nervous.) I, on the other hand, took Consumer Reports' advice and bought high quality CFLs. 10+ years later and I'm still waiting for them to burn out so I can replace them with LEDs. e: f, pretty much b.

Jurgan posted:They say they believe it. I doubt many of them really do. The Sean Hannities and Sebastian Gorkas of the world certainly don't believe it, and they're just repeating it as much as they can in order to portray their side as having the moral high ground, as well as keeping their aged viewer base riled up enough to vote. But a large portion of their audience totally buys it. Like, remember when you couldn't turn on Fox or talk radio without hearing "Planned Parenthood is selling Baby Body Parts" a few years back? It didn't matter that nobody actually watched the video, they had their gruesome, gory narrative and they stuck with it. Between every single commercial break, they just repeated "baby body parts, leftists sell baby body parts, they're in FAVOR of taking a healthy baby and selling its baby body parts!!!" The only thing that got them to shut up was when a person who listened to them shot up an abortion clinic and killed 3 people, all while screaming about baby body parts. And now, they're using that strategy again, and to top it all off, they're bringing the Baby Body Parts narrative just for kicks. Certainly, nothing will go wrong!

They refer to the repeal of Glass-Steagal as "minor tinkering" that had no real effect, and claim that quote:In 1995, using the powers of the presidency, Bill Clinton turned the 1977 Community Reinvestment Act into an aggressive program that basically forced banks to lend money to "underserved" communities. That meant those with low incomes who couldn't necessarily repay a loan.  Stultus Maximus posted:IBD is Ramirez's rag. This doesn't surprise me at all.

Jerry Cotton posted:Seriouspost: How can you look the world and not realize about 100% of Americans would literally eat real beef just out of spite? 100% wouldn't since there are Americans already not eating beef. And if you raised the price on it, even more would drop it because not everyone is can be that cavalier with their food budget. Ground beef is cheap food right now, and it really shouldn't be. Ideally it'll get replaced with a meat-substitute or some kind of lab created muscle tissue, but even just swapping it out for chicken instead would be an improvement.

How is that not already a law and what are the arguments against it? I could kinda understand it if it was a gaping hole in the law system nobody ever bothered with.
