No doubt capitalism will co-opt climate change to make money. That is what capitalism does, that's how it works. There will definitely be companies offering "green" products with no motivation other than to make money. They may even make products that aren't green. However, that doesn't change any of the principles behind it. Humans have affected climate and humans can affect climate.

I am saying I trust very little, if anything, produced by the Trump administration.
-
Pretty convenient for that to be now declassified. Also interesting how Osama Bin Laden used the same terminology as Donald Trump.
-
I don't see that anywhere. Seeing some rumblings about 2019 being the second warmest year on record. Which I guess means it did cool from the warmest year on record.
-
Not really. The specific part you pointed out to me starts with the set-up of a strawman argument. If that was the most salient part of the video, the rest must be even bigger bullshit. So, never wasted time on it.

Judging by his 'handle" he doesn't need help translating Dutch. It means "Brick" in Dutch.

COVID-19: Astroturfing the "reopen" demonstrations
SkyDekker replied to ryoder's topic in Speakers Corner
It is with Turtle and many other Americans. They have been trained to support the idea that all media is biased and nefariously so. -
yeah yeah, we get it, illegal immigration is bad unless you yourself get to benefit from it. I am not a racist, I have a black friend.
-
Your argument is that we have affected the climate, but we cannot affect the climate. I simply cannot argue with such genius.
-
There are very few people who believe that humans cannot impact climate. There is broad scientific consensus that human activity has impacted climate. I highly doubt 1:40 on YouTube is going to change the science behind that.
-
You won't believe number 5, no scientist can believe it.
-
That is not religion, that part is science.
-
Ah the climate change is a religion argument.
-
Starts with a strawman argument, I stopped watching after that. People aren't only looking at green technology.

BC has reduced the regulations around that and is allowing alcohol sales with take-out food sales.

Maybe people don't have over an hour and a half to spend on a video?

Hence why I said "established business". Start-ups are by definition not established. Restaurant viability is hard to address within 1st year of business.
-
You think poor folks generally own cars? Enough that 10,000 of them are lined up for 1 food bank?
-
20 Plus years on the landlord side. Relationships with ownership groups and owners of all the top restaurant chains in Canada. Daily conversations with them in the last month regarding their businesses. Monthly conversations with them in the last 15 or so years. I have helped finance them, have done countless of DD procedures on them, acquired them and disposed of them. You?
-
Poor folks don't own cars. if 10,000 cars line up for free food, it isn't 10,000 poor people. Emergency Funds should last 3 to 6 months. Debt funded emergency kicks in after that. If you have an established business that cannot cover fixed costs for at least 3 months, you are generally poorly managed. Same goes for people.
-
Uhm, you may want to go back. You asked: why - it isn't mentioned in the thread. I answered that if you did go look it up, you would know it is mentioned in the thread. And if you decide to go through all that effort to purposely not learn something....it would have taken less time to just google the term.....then quite frankly you deserve the tone you get.

You don't plan for a single cause, you do plan for being able to cope with downturns. Just like people should have emergency funds, so should companies. A restaurant unable to pay rent after being shut down for a week has been poorly managed (assuming they are not in the first year of their lifecycle). People sitting in a new Cadillac waiting for free food at a food bank after being unemployed for a week have poorly managed themselves. So, should those people and companies be bailed out? Should the country be bailed out?
-
Not bad management? Not being to survive a downturn is definitely bad management, at a corporate level and at a personal level. And a pandemic is the ultimate market force, can't be regulated. How is people lining up in millions of dollars worth of cars for free food at a food bank after very recent unemployment not bad management at multiple levels?
-
You would know what it is. You would know you are discussing it and you would know it plays a role in current social media manipulation. You would learn something. You might even use some critical thinking skills in the future as you come across social media posts.

If you did, you would know that it is. (*it's)
