VideoGameVet posted:The classic example is the British offering a bounty on capturing and killing cobra snakes in India. Or if you are into funnier stories, in Borneo they had such a big rat problem that the local government put a bounty on catching rats. Turns out it’s real hard to catch rats but not so hard to breed them.

Data Graham posted:Or, if Dilbert is permissible anymore: I recall reading that there was an uptick in some kind of refrigerant prohibited by the Montreal protocol because the incentive for disposing of it was too generous in a certain country. Companies were making the gas just to get the disposal credit. Edit: Yeah, conveniently referenced in the Wikpedia article on perverse incentives: quote:The controversy surrounds projects that remove HFC 23, one of the most potent greenhouse gases in existence, from the atmosphere. These projects make up less than 1 per cent of scheme projects but are responsible for more half the carbon credits awarded by the UN so far, mostly to chemical plants in India and China that emit HFC 23 as a byproduct.

Flowers for QAnon posted:Can someone smarter than me, help with a dunking retort to this argument? We're in the grand jury phase, where evidence doesn't need to be presented in a public way and the defendant has no right to rebut testimony. We'll get to a public hearing phase, but ultimately until charges are made via formal impeachment, there's no due process concern with how this is going. It's also a bipartisan committee doing the questioning, it's not a one party thing. It's just not open to the public yet.

evilweasel posted:the republican members of the investigating committees have been at every single hearing Also republican members have equal time to question in closed hearings (wherein grandstanding before camera doesn't happen): House Republicans complain about limited access to closed-door House impeachment investigation sessions usatoday.com/Oct. 16 '“They have been very professionally done,” Schiff said. “All those members, too, asked questions. And we go until the questions are exhausted, so they get to ask whatever questions they want in a process in which they have every bit as much opportunity as the majority to ask questions.” Schiff said the committees keep the sessions closed because some witnesses may lie like Michael Cohen, Trump’s former personal lawyer, who was convicted of lying to Congress. “Now, we do anticipate a time when we'll be releasing transcripts, and we do anticipate there will be a time when we will hold back some of these witnesses for open session, and we may call witnesses in open session that we haven't called in closed session. But we will do so giving the GOP members every opportunity to ask questions,” Schiff said. “We want to make sure that we get to the truth, and this is the process, I think, early in an investigation that makes the most sense.”'

He has routinely stood up for his constituents and loving authored the bill to repeal Right to Work in Virginia as well as many other bills to expand workmans comp benefits, kicking Dominion Power's coal burning rear end all over the chamber, and so much more. He is about as leftist as you can get and is part of the progressive left in VA politics. So...no, he should not lose his race and you need to sit the gently caress down.
