[quote]Being smart doesn't make one a cartel.[/quote] Corporations fight tooth and nail for market share. The only way all of them would raise prices to cover all of the tax increase would be if they coordinated. Otherwise there's too much incentive to maintain prices and maintain market share. ...
So all corporations will act as a cartel to raise prices together, so that they can keep their current high margins? That's ridiculous. And if you read the business press, you'll notice that the corporate world isn't exactly kicking and screaming about this. Business benefits from improved infrastru...
Corporations, who right now are swimming in so much cash that they're lavishing it on management and using it to buy back billions in stock....
The private sector doesn't build infrastructure – the government does. That's why we have a government. Are you against new infrastructure? Most of ours was built in the 30s-60s and is in disrepair. And this $3T investment will be mostly funded by taxes on the wealthy and corporations (and the closu...
Bill Clinton never went after kids which is a completely different frontier. The culture has changed with sexual harassment and Clinton would have a tough time getting support from Democrats if he were starting his political career today....
You are all so triggered. :violin: :violin: :lol: :lol:...
Maduro is doing a very bad job right now, but Venezuela's economy didn't collapse because of "socialism". It collapsed because oil prices completely tanked, and their economy was extremely dependent on oil exports....
The US since W. Bush has been alienating the international community with its actions, and Trump's action has continued this trend. China is ten years away from being the biggest economy in the world. The US' world power is diminishing rapidly. Even if you're a climate change denier (because you lik...
Trump was the latest in a wave of Republicans conning working class whites by talking their language, pretending to enjoy their culture, and so on, while doing the bidding of political and economic elites once in office. He's a brilliant personality, but he clearly has no idea what he's doing. Th...
[quote]For you prog filth I imagine this weekend is like celebrating hitler... For normal Americans I assume it's fun[/quote] Nope, you're telling yourself stories to make yourself feel better....
[quote]So really there is no net benefit. If you do away with cars that run on fossil fuels and switch to electric, that leads to a greater demand for electricity. It would take a massive increase in electricity production to power our daily commuting needs. That demand for fossil fuels would still ...
Macron is an Obama/Clinton-type liberal, not a socialist....
[quote]Highly subsidized by government, wouldn't you say? Coal-fired plant permits are hard to get ($$$), natural gas is frowned upon, while solar and wind have had most of the red tape cut out. The government is skewing the market (again) through crony Capitalism. [/quote] Just last month, Don...
Solar and wind are becoming cheaper than coal, so if it's a scary Chinese conspiracy, it's not a very effective one. The data I've seen shows consistent reduction in coal use in China, and a plateau in CO2 emissions. They are investing in renewables more than the U.S. is....
[quote]How can anyone with an IQ over 10 believe this COMPLETE F*CKING SCAM/CULT?[/quote] Is there any other subject where you completely disagree with (or have strong skepticism of) decades-long scientific consensus? I'm trying to figure out whether there's a broader principled skepticism toward s...
China is taking steps to improve their emissions situation. Every country is really, it's just happening very slowly. The big obstacle to international cooperation that can address this matter in a serious way is the denial in the United States which prevents any significant agreement from getting t...
[quote]which part, specifically[/quote] The idea that political messaging and public policy involving climate change should reflect the small degree of uncertainty that is characteristic of all scientific research. While there are limits to our ability to observe and model the outside world, the ov...
