    Do you seriously think I'm challenging him to a fight?

    For fuck's sake.

    You said you’re going to fight like hell.

    This is how bad yesterday's ruling was. Even GR fucking Horn feels bad about it, and is trying to help people find hope and solace.

    Actually, not quite. Not a lawyer, but it seems like Roe was when an unelected group dictated new rights. Now it’s back in the hands of people. 
    It’s a state to state issue so now is the chance to make yourself heard. More democratic honestly. 
     

    Posters here have gotten confused thinking miscarriages can’t be taken care of etc. That’s not correct, but I’d like to make sure nothing crazy like that gets made into law. The anger here pointed in the right direction will help prevent things like that from happening. It could even lead to moderating of the laws here now on the books. Who knows?

    Decorum prevents me from saying what I think should happen to you, but unfortunately for all of us, it will not shock me if you find out within the next few years.  That's how bad this is, and I assure you, the majority of the country will "fight like hell" (hey to President Trump) to reverse the wrongs you are promoting, either actively or passively.

    I hope y’all do fight, using legal and peaceful means, but make your voices heard. That’s the best way to make sure less crazy laws get passed. But it’s going to take a concerted, sustained effort. Not these Dallas twerking protests. What happened yesterday was the culmination of a 50 year long, organized campaign. The Long Game personified. There’s a lesson there. 
     

    I think in a few years we end up for the most part like Europe. First trimester will be allowed in most states. Some will be outliers in each direction.
     

    Now’s the time to affect that if you wish.

    Born in '71 and turned 51 a couple of weeks ago. Yes, it's worse than anytime in my living memory. Sure, I can get on board with the '60s being a rockier time right now, but this current era isn't over yet.

    Agreed it should get worse from here. Polarization/balkanization will likely intensify with this ruling. 
     

    The biggest thing driving us apart is something mentioned up thread. I’m beating a dead horse, but we’re at the end of a debt cycle. It’s shaping everything around us. We’re all fighting over a smaller economic pie. Inequality is increasing. It’s at the bottom of the geopolitical mess we’re seeing which is driving angst as well. Throw in massive corruption and you have what we have now.

    This ain't jack shit compared to the Civil Rights Era and even Vietnam.

    This shit is invisible in the real world if you get offline or stop looking at the TV. The protests are tiny/non-existent.

    Exactly. Either things really aren’t nearly as bad, or our culture has degenerated to where young people are unable to coherently and effectively mobilize to change things. Probably both. 
     

    I wasn’t born yet, but just look at the music.

    Versus today’s drivel. Unfortunately I’ve checked more back into today’s pop music because of my kids, and there’s not a lot of substance.

    Major issue for several reasons, but decreasing population is a huge drag on gdp growth. GDP has to keep up with the growth in debt, which is accelerating, in our financial system.

    Negging because you posted the same in CR. This tweet has biased, political commentary that overstates the point of the article and is from a very political source who's funded by a very political family.

    Oh please. Why are you pretending to need justification for negging me here? 😂 You’re a frequent flyer in my notifications. 
     

    When I find articles, I go out of my way to find tweets that share it in an apolitical fashion, since people like yourself can’t look past the messenger. That was the most vanilla one I could find. I have no idea who the hell that person is. 

    The relevant passage.

     

    “At a summit of EU leaders later this week, the EU was planning a new initiative that would structurally decrease poorer nations' reliance on Russian fertilisers by helping them develop their own fertiliser plants.

    But at a meeting with EU envoys last week, the EU Commission explicitly opposed the text, warning that supporting fertiliser production in developing nations would be inconsistent with the EU energy and environment policies, officials said.“


    I posted it here because it pertains to food security. EU is putting environmental concerns over global food security here. That’s pretty clear.

    Putin is counting on this to put pressure to end a lot of the sanctions and get things back to normal.

    It's brutal, and will result in plenty of deaths and hardship, but it can be effective.  Supply and demand at work.  He's willing to bet that he can shut the gas off to Europe, which drives up prices everywhere else as European countries then compete for non-Russian gas.  

    But it's also risky, because like was mentioned in the Ukraine thread, Europe may very well wean itself off of Russian o&g, and then he'll have to make that up elsewhere once supplies begin to stabilize.  Short term, it's effective though.

    Yeah if you just don’t give a fuck about anything it’s his best move. I’m not sure he cares as much about the sanctions. They affect the general population of Russia, but not really the bottom line for his army. It’s just how he can get Europe to push for negotiations and concessions from Kyiv.

    The frio at concan. 0.0 CFS. Bummer

     

    https://waterdata.usgs.gov/usa/nwis/uv?site_no=08195000

    That’s due to just ridiculous overdevelopment and water pumping. Have seen that coming for years. 
     

    Although as an aside, there was an extended drought there so pronounced that the waterfall above Neal’s was completely dry. I believe it was the 1950s. 
     

    I guess people here think these are good things? 
     

    Give up your livestock, farmer. 
     

    Also, less food for you Africans. Europe is saving the planet.

    That is such a bunch of hocus-pocus on the implicit subsidies related to fossil fuel. Weird that the supposed explicit subsidies are a fraction of the implicit subsidies.

    Now do alternative energy.  Mining, manufacturing, shipping, erection, and ultimate disposal of windmills after a 20 year useful life.  Mining, manufacturing, shipping, erection, and ultimate disposal of solar panels after a 15 year useful life.  Mining, manufacturing, shipping, and ultimate disposal of batteries after a 10 year useful life.

    I'm not convinced that this analysis is looking at both sides of the equation.

    Bastiat did a good job on issues like this:

    It’s a bunch of hand-waving model estimates. 
     

    Hocus pocus is a great description.

    Don't really follow bitcoin or this thread and haven't read all the way back through it but has there been much discussion here regarding large bitcoin mines in/coming to Tx?  I have a bunch of relatives in Navarro county and Riot Blockchain is planning on building at large bitcoin mine there.  First phase will be 250MW of miners with expansion up to 1GW of miners.  That's a fucking shitload of power consumption.  Riot already has one of the largest mines in the US at the old Alcoa facility near Rockdale.  Not really sure about how I feel about them.  They are incredible power hogs and we are already dealing with a shitty power grid in Tx.  Is the theory that the mines will use excess generated power which will allow more plants to stay on line to handle other demand surges?  Supposedly the mines shut down when demand gets that high and re-sell their power allotment and make a profit there.  Am I understanding all this correctly?

    Basically, yes. 
     

    Also if you have coins on Voyager pull them off today. 
     

    Or like I’ve been saying, pull them off every exchange.

  10. It’s hard to overstate the importance of DeSantis beating this clown. Imagine that instead of having a state lead the way against Covid lockdowns, we had one led by this degenerate? Totally changed our national politics. 
     

    21 counts.

    If you want some comedy search Gillum to see some of the comments about this guy circa 2018.

    Wait, you don't want to make sure we are prepared for the next pandemic that will inevitably happen?  

    WTF is wrong with you?

    What pandemic readiness? We just had one. Do you think our government would do anything different? It’s a money grab. Simple.

    GRHorn wants the world to crash and burn so that his imaginary currency can be worth something again. 

    Why are you here? You’re supposed to be downplaying energy security somewhere.

    They even stopped an off duty Uvalde ISD officer from going in to the building.  His wife was shot and called him while she was still alive.  She ended up passing away.

    He’s Uvalde PD

    As bad as the UISD police chief was, I have to question why Uvalde PD didn’t just take over when they arrived on the scene. 

    It doesn’t make a lot of sense. They even detained the UPD guy trying to go for his wife.
