@road to nowhere: that is Europe in a nutshell if you’re poor. That’s how I grew up. And there are people on here that don’t understand that if you’re rich or American (but I repeat myself) you can’t fathom the pure poverty that socialism has bestowed on Western Europe over the last 70 years.

@rocketman: look what happened to all the auto brands that have trade unions. Without the Obama intervention, they would’ve all gone out of business by now.
Musk doesn’t like unions, because he likes to actually get his car built at reasonable prices.
Electric cars are already insanely expensive because they take a lot of energy and resources (carbon emissions) to create, much more than any regular car. You can’t reduce those costs without cutting a ton of space, range and usability (compare a Tesla with VW eGolf, Chevy Volt, Nissan Leaf, Toyota Prius and understand why nobody wants to buy the latter).
Top of the line electric cars will always cost more than my house and their prices are going up, not down, mandating the electric car, like Biden is trying to pass by 2030, would mean that nobody that isn’t rich can afford to drive a car, just in time for the government to swoop in and provide Amtrak public transport paid for with your taxes, and just as in California, a waste of money for whatever high speed rail system they have been building for 30 years.
Musk is also a conservative/libertarian, so Biden would never invite him just for that, but Musk isn’t shy of pointing out the hypocrisy and shady backroom deals they just made in the White House. How much do you want to bet a Biden family or staff member will be heading whatever development the big three auto makers are going to make in this arena?

Dems and useful idiots take private property.
by mickbobcat inthis is nothing but illegal.
telling people that they can not evict a dead beat renter for not paying rent while the land owner has to pay for repairs, insurance, taxes and a mortgage is such a private property grab.
any one who votes for these assholes is a total idiot.

Owning property is bad. They’re just creating problems like housing shortages that way they can swoop in and solve the problem.
That is how they did it in California and now the government owns approximately 1M units in what once was highly desirable locations (they pay premium on $250k+ housing units, driving the cost up) while assisting more than a million people with rent and they want to shore that up by developing 2M public housing units.

More lies from fake news.
by mickbobcat innews is broadcasting that death valley is getting close to breaking a record.
the highest air temp recorded is 134 but that was in 1913 way before the huge spike in co2.
now its 130 and its the end of the world.

@Rivergang, just a few thousand years ago, most of North America was glacier. Canada still is. Climate has changed and will again, there is nothing we humans can do about it. Yes, we may have an impact, but most scientists will admit this only contributes to 1.5-3C over the next 100 years. Millions of years ago, the earth was an actual greenhouse with average temperatures over 20C higher than today. We now call it the Cambrian explosion, when life exploded from a few microorganisms and shellfish into the ancestors of every species on earth.
It all depends on your time scale, humans need to adapt, there is nothing we can do now to reverse global warming, that time was 200 years ago, hurricanes are dying down and forests are exploding in growth, we control natural forest fires and they will become bigger and bigger each year. We need to prepare for change, not try to prevent it. Ask the aussies what happened when they tried to control nature, they got bunnies, lots of them, so they built a fence, so they have created entirely different ecosystems and even went to war with the emus (and lost), now they have rodents everywhere.

@Rocketman: If businesses are back operating, and we're seeing in fact a worker shortage and massive wage growth, why did Biden just extend the moratorium to September and possibly indefinitely, even though it has been declared illegal by the Supreme Court? I didn't know the CDC had plenary power over my property.
If I were a landlord, I'd be selling off my property to an LLC, then shut off all utilities and declare the LLC bankrupt, let the government take care of it.

You're drawing a false equivalence. Polio, measles and smallpox killed a LOT more people as the diseases were not only more deadly, they were also more transmissible. COVID is a coronavirus, we get those all the time, we get cold and flu, some more transmissible than others. There have been years where flu pandemics happened.
Yes, it's great they eventually got vaccines, but the development of those vaccines were controlled, took a long time and had many, many missteps that were eventually corrected. Yet we're to believe that these experimental vaccines are 100% safe. I would be more than happy if there was a 'regular' vaccine for COVID, yet this is not allowed in the US, we have to take an experimental vaccine system that hasn't been proven yet and over the last 50 years of development has never worked (there are various mRNA trials for HIV in the last few decades).
It's called a risk assessment, the risk of you dying is lower if you do x than when you do z, that doesn't make it the wrong decision if you do x and z still happens. Everyone has access to the same information, yet some entities are actively suppressing the necessary information and putting out wrong information. The CDC is for example making decisions based on what the school unions think will be financially beneficial to them and their members, ignoring the science.
Even if you believe the vaccines work, why is so much effort being put into shaping the message on social media and news outlets? Why aren't we talking about the women who start having irregular periods, or the potential deaths and the rates of complications? It doesn't inspire confidence if there is one side trying to suppress information, it always leads to questions of "why". That is what drives vaccine hesitancy.

The stupid dems are tying to push BS in the infrastructure bill, who would have thought it.
by mickbobcat inso i was listing to the news and in the infrastructure bill there is a part that will tax you on how many miles you drive.
this is above the state and federal gas tax.
so now they will control and monitor your millage and tax you on it.

Yeah, they do this in Europe on big trucks, the truckers used to put a piece of sponge between the needle and the chart. Nowadays they’re all electronic, you can find plenty of hacks online.
Like the lockdowns, this is just about control. As I said in the other piece about Australia, you let the military enforce this emergency, 200+ people have already been detained and will receive fines up to AUD 500, where does it end, there is always an emergency, the earth will keep spinning, climate change will always happen.

@slidin fast: some people just get unlucky. They die of the flu anyways or have complications from the shot. That’s life. These propaganda articles are just like JW WT articles. “I wish I found jehoover sooner”, you make a decision, you live with it, sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn’t.
Statistically speaking it is unlikely that you will die from COVID if you’re under the age of 65, statistically speaking it is likely you have natural immunity, statistically speaking you can still get it with a vaccine but hunting down the one person that died doesn’t prove that they wouldn’t have died if they were vaccinated, they don’t seem to make stories about all the other statistical outliers either, hell, they bury the stories about kids dying from enlarged heart after the vaccine.

Multiple Police Officers On Duty for Jan. 6th Protest Commit "Suicide"

@Rocketman: Shall we apply the same standards then to Hillary Clinton and Stacey Abrams?
Nobody was charged with insurrection, because it didn't happen, it was a simple protest, much calmer than the protests against federal buildings, or the occupation of the capitol last summer. Don't you think if there was evidence, these people would've been charged by now?

Sometimes, healthy people die, get over it, they have a choice. Perhaps we should stop people from driving. Perhaps we should stop them from making any decisions, just let the government decide.
1 IN 3 SENIORS DIED DUE TO ALZHEIMER'S OR ANOTHER DEMENTIA. And that increased by 19% during the COVID pandemic (being isolated has long been known to exacerbate dementia)
95% of COVID deaths were amongst the elderly:
https://www.aarp.org/health/conditions-treatments/info-2020/coronavirus-deaths-older-adults.html
Yet some healthy people fully vaccinated die:

Some healthy people die from getting the vaccine:
https://www.freep.com/story/news/2021/07/02/jacob-clynick-pfizer-covid-vaccine/5323095001/
In the early 1900's about 1/3 of children died from measles, polio and other diseases. Should the government have locked everyone up back then too? You people simply have no concept of risk since you've lived in a protected bubble for going on 70 years. Nobody is used to death anymore, back in the day, everyone would know someone who had lost a child or a parent, now, it's a rare occurrence, even with COVID, I have had nobody in my family die from COVID, some people lost an elderly person, we're still at VERY LOW death rates in comparison with any "real" pandemic (think cholera or plague). Go to Africa for a change, go to India for a change, there COVID is rampaging through and doesn't even make a blip on their radars because more children and adults die from preventable disease such as not having food and clean water than ever will from COVID.
Every death is a tragedy, but there is no point in arguing about preventable disease. A lot of people die because they are so filthy rich, they're dying from "king's disease", even those we consider "poor" are dying from diabetes and gout and heart problems, yet nobody thinks we should control their lives over it.
