But you don't need to join any clubs to succeed in the US military. Not even the old boy's club sometimes. Much to the chagrin of some trolls.

That is a common expression that is completely incorrect. The Amazon region is an incredible place for its biodiversity. It is not "the lungs of the world". If anything can be given such a title it is the ocean. And there is only one ocean despite the fact that we give different parts of it names of their own. Save the plankton if you want to keep breathing. People who live in countries that have converted as much arable land as possible to agriculture are always the ones trying to hold Brazil back from doing the same using emotional and misguided arguments. Worry about your own back yard.

True. And that car is allowed to drive down the street and do everything the other cars are allowed to do.

Before or after the pledge of allegiance and anthem?

Nearly all the vaccine holdouts are now claiming natural immunity. Most of the are lying.

That may well be a large part of the answer. It's not just oil, the tar sands can provide all we need even with the lack of pipelines. But the fracking production that has slowed so much was also the source of the excess of natural gas that was replacing coal in power generation. Renewables are the future but we need a bridge to get there.

Apparently there are others predicting unrest. https://financialpost.com/commodities/energy/oil-gas/energy-squeeze-will-trigger-unrest-says-blackstones-schwarzman

The shortages will works themselves out and the prices will stabilize at a lower level. But it will take 18 to 24 months.

At one time is was, but no longer. It also was once owned by GM, but that was in the '20s of last century!

I suppose. Your use of hateful words may just rhetoric that you are using for dramatic effect. It is of course not possible for me to know your true thoughts or beliefs. I can only interpret the words you use and the ideas you express. You might call that projection.

I think she is a lousy politician. To be a good pol you have to be able to get people to relate to you and like you despite policy differences. That's why Bill was able to unseat Bush. And why the younger Bush was able to beat Gore. But I do agree that she would have been "a reasonably capable leader". That is a near perfect description.

Again, there is not such ideology as "Woke". There is no actual reason to capitalize the word. It is merely another of the hatreds that you have succumbed to. Like the irrational Hilary thing.

Where do they think this immunity came from? (note quote of a quote)

Yes. Consider yourself schooled. I'm also reasonably sure you would have chosen the German Nazi leader to compare Hilary to if not for being accused of being an example of Godwin's law. But Il Duce will just have to do for you to compare Hilary to. These statements are really quite insightful and show a lot about just who you are.

Yup, Winsor swallowed it hook, line, and sinker. He loves the taste the hate leaves on his palate.

That Nazi guy gets credited with that quote quite often. And if he said it he was correct. It works. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20161026-how-liars-create-the-illusion-of-truth

Maybe a thread by a non-troll is in order. As we come out of the covid slowdown we are being met by several different energy shortages with multiple causes. The main cause is the collapse in prices at the beginning of the covid recession leading to a shutdown of production. As always the cure for low prices is low prices and the cure for high prices is high prices. But clearly political headwinds blowing against carbon emissions is also a factor. My own feeling is that if the consumer is squeezed too hard too quickly there will be a backlash leading to votes going to whatever politician is perceived to be most likely to ease the problem. This is going to be a serious factor and if it is not brought under control quickly will set climate control factors back by a large amount. Increasing renewable energy is an easy sell to the public. Unaffordable gasoline and electricity in either America, Europe, or Canada for that matter is not something that will be tolerated by the population. We all have good reason not to shut down what we depend on before it can be replaced. I'm not sure what I am looking for here, but I am getting a very uneasy feeling as I see what may be coming down the road.

Natural immunity is currently being claimed by anyone who does not want to be vaccinated. Most of them are full of shit. There is no easy or reasonable way to prove that you have "natural immunity". Just get the freaking vaccine. Or stay away. Not wanting to do your part in a crisis. Sad.

Nice try Yoink, but you are nowhere near his level of unneeded wordiness.

The artificially generated hatred of that woman courtesy of the right wing entertainment media in the US is...., wait for it,.......DEPLORABLE!!!!!

One word, Wyoming. They have primaries there, and rich people from the east don't get to vote in them. But I hope you are right.

That seems unlikely. Moderate and star would be considered oxymorons in that world. Moderates are AKA "RINOs". Just watch what is soon going to happen to Liz Cheney, and she is far from moderate.

Just think twice before sending. Pretend your mother is going to read the forum and act accordingly.
