I lived there for quite a while.
People actually believe(d) he was a successful and competent businessman
Rin saysAnd if Cenk Uygur's show is any indication, even the politically moderate-to-progressive Trump haters don't believe in Biden because he can't inspire anyone, living in the swing states, esp young voters at places like Dayton, Indianapolis, etc. With that in mind, many won't show up and Trump wins the areas which he needs to win.
I don't think he is any indication, he is a sour grapes leftist.
Coal is essentially dead, as it should be. Why do we need 19th century energy sources in the 21st?
Tempting to move back to Michigan to vote there. I lived there for quite a while.
I'm considering helping out in Florida eventually.
rdm saysTrump won because people hated Hillary more than they feared Trump.
Do you fear Trump? lol..And the corona virus, climate change, North korea, Russia, China, etc? That's a lot of fear for one person.
Steve Jobs type of industry hero
ARLP!
komputodo saysHistory isn't statues...it's in your mind...It's your job to teach your children.
Sure - but when your kids come home from school being taught bastardized Howard Zinn or 1619 History, it makes it alot harder to keep your kids from turning into Democrat retards.
rdm saysWell said. It was amazing to me a few months ago when at lunch with colleagues how clueless they are about coal. Their thinking was that if just those "backwards" people in Pennsylvania would stop mining coal we'd be halfway towards global cooling or something. Nobody would believe the enormous rate at which China is building new coal-fired plants until I found information on the internet.Coal is essentially dead, as it should be
Tell that to the Indians, Chinese and a whole slew of nations that don't seem to give a flying fuck what rdm says on the subject.
They are building new coal plants and plan to build more, while outright lying about it.
...and add Japan to that list:
And for the most part, you just need a utility or rental bill to get on the voting roster
Market forces are doing what environmentalists were unable to accomplish...in this country.
And while it will never come back from before Obama destroyed it, it isn't on the way out because of export markets to other nations like China, India and Japan. We will -- if we aren't already -- become a net coal exporter just like we are a net oil exporter.
No, you didn't say that. You are moving the goal posts when you were outed for saying bullshit, that's all
We will -- if we aren't already -- become a net coal exporter j
It doesn't have to be strictly used for power generation though South Africa (Sasol corp) has successfully converted coal to gasoline for decades. The US also has a Sasol type of facility up in North Dakota.
But instead of training ppl to become let's say an HVAC repairmen (Amy Klobuchar's idea) instead of telling 'em to get a computer science degree or attend Yale Law, is not the way to win the vote of the rust belt worker.
Both Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden, played the white collar card to their disadvantage.
Whether he can enunciate clearly and connect to these guys like the the Dems of old is another question.
rdm saysI must admit I didn't know what "cancel culture" is. I could care less, from a personal standpoint it is meaningless.
FFS - it is kind of you to admit that you live in a total bubble.
In case you have missed it over the last few weeks, our Founding Fathers are getting "cancelled" all over the country being called racists and having their statues ripped down by your Taliban brothers.
The National Anthem is being cancelled at sporting events. Aunt Jemima? Eskimo Pies? Uncle Bens?
Our entire fucking history is being cancelled with the NYTimes B.S. 1619 project now being taught at our schools.
