  1. The expectation was par for the course, the execution was rare.
  2. Yes, sorry, corporations. Why wouldn’t every corporation just pass the tax burden on to consumers? With everyone being hit with the same tax burden, there would be no incentive NOT to pass the cost on to the consumer. Unless one could move their affairs overseas and avoid the higher taxes. (Which is what is more likely than not)
  3. Cooperations don’t pay taxes they collect them…from consumers.
  4. I look at physical contact as a point on the continuum of communication. I don’t spank my kids as a punishment, I use touch to get their attention. A swat on the butt or a smack on the top of the head can be a cntrl-alt-delete for an out of control child. When I was in school getting whacked with a paddle was par for the course. The irony is that because we had corporal punishment, it was rarely needed.
  5. Joe, who do you think will pay the billions in cooperate taxes? Do you really believe executive competition will be slashed? Do you really think dividends will be eliminated? Don’t you realize those taxes will just be passed on to consumers further exasperating inflation. (Not to mention driving industries and jobs overseas)The University of Pennsylvania Wharton school said it would make inflation WORSE not better. All the while wasting billions on green energy boondoggles that will not have ANY impact on CO2 levels or weather.
  6. Nobody got snookered yet, Sinema might still torpedo the deal. She said no to getting rid of carried interest carve out and Manchin said he is a no if it remains. We will just have to wait and see. BTW Biden is incapable of snookering anyone.
  7. Maybe in 2036 after Joe’s second term and the two terms of Kamala Harris. Keep that Democrat juggernaut rolling.
  8. the proposed $369 billion Senate energy and climate-spending package jolted the sector to its best week in 18 months. Private investors who continued to pour cash into speculative industries like green hydrogen and carbon capture during the stock-market downturn earlier in the year would be among the biggest beneficiaries of tax subsidies that are part of the bill. Renewable energy and battery producers would get the certainty of tax credits that would last for a decade, which they say will encourage investment. Just some of the examples of wasted taxpayer dollars lining the pockets of the green lobby.
  9. But it will be my friend, it will be.
  10. And extraction rate is determined by economics, pure and simple.
  11. I have a MBA so I know a thing or two about macro economics. BTW I don’t own the Libtards, reality does. re·ces·sion /rəˈseSH(ə)n/ Learn to pronounce noun 1. a period of temporary economic decline during which trade and industrial activity are reduced, generally identified by a fall in GDP in two successive quarters.
  12. When it is two consecutive quarters of negative growth and the Democrats are in charge.
  13. Part of. The only part that ends a life.
  14. I am ambivalent on the topic of abortion. The libertarian part of me is solidly pro-choice. Having witnessed the birth of my two children, the father half of me says it’s not so simple. That said, the doublespeak to which I was referring, was the replacement of the word ‘abortion’ with the phrase ‘reproductive health care’, as in “she had to cross state lines to get her reproductive health care”. Or as the lefties would say “the birthing person had to cross state lines to get zer reproductive health care”
  15. Just because the market was influenced by outside molestations doesn’t mean the market did not win out in the long run “it did not suddenly emerge to light up a world quickly going dark as the supply of whales ran out.” That makes my point. Nothing happened “suddenly” market forces, over time, slowly supplanted other forms of illumination.
  16. No, when and if oil becomes more scarce we will transition to alternative forms of energy. Just as we did during the transition from wood to coal, coal to oil, oil to natural gas, (and as things are going, back to coal). We never needed a government program to facilitate the transition from candles to whale oil to kerosene to electricity. Take a deep breath and let simple economics lead the way.
  17. I am well aware of the effects of climate change. 99% reduction in the number of climate related deaths, record food production, growing polar bear population…why are you afraid of change, especially since it is for the better?
  18. If that is what you need to tell yourself, then so be it. I am just an uneducated, knuckle dragging, homophonic, misogynist, racist, xenophobic, transphobic, white nationalist red neck. Sleep well my friend.
  19. So do you agree with me that we are not at ‘peak oil’ ?
  20. If you will remember, the OP was a joke. I didn’t mean to trigger a sh*t storm.
  21. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justifiable_homicide learn
  22. Poor judgment? perhaps, illegal? demonstrably not.
  23. It’s called being a member of society. Make up your own mind on which laws to follow and which taxes to pay and let me know how that works out for you.
