re: Biden team preparing $3T in new spending

Being smart doesn't make one a cartel.
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 infrastructure. The private sector has also been investing heavily in green energy over the last 18 months.

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 closure of loopholes). What sounds so bad about that?
re: Just curious lefties, did Bill Clinton violate campaign laws by paying off his whores?

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.

re: Socialism in the 21st Century: Venezuela
Posted by aminhamenina014 on 8/1/17 at 9:52 pm to DrunkerThanThou
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.
re: Trump said pissing off Europeans was Secondary benefit to leaving Paris
Posted by aminhamenina014 on 6/1/17 at 11:57 pm to gatorrocks
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 like to see liberals angry), you can't ignore the impact this has on our international standing and our ability to be perceived as world leaders.
re: How do you think Trump is coming along with the swamp draining?
Posted by aminhamenina014 on 6/1/17 at 12:23 am to DavidTheGnome
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.
Things will change eventually, I just hope it happens before our economy and our standing in the world have eroded beyond repair.

re: Economist Predicts Fossil Fuel Vehicles No Longer Sold In 8 Years

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 exist because they would be need it in great quantities to generate electricity.
Yes, but electricity is becoming more and more renewable as well (albeit slowly). Coal is being phased out around the world, already has in a lot of ways in Europe and is currently happening in Asia. You'll see more wind, solar, and natural gas over the next decade, especially as costs for those continue to decline. Then that makes electric cars more beneficial.

Macron is an Obama/Clinton-type liberal, not a socialist.

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.
Just last month, Dong Energy in Denmark won the first unsubsidized clean energy bid for a wind farm for Germany. That is the new reality - wind and solar can compete with coal and oil without subsidies, and innovation in the short term will drive costs below them.
There are regulations for solar and wind as well. There are indeed fewer because these pose fewer dangers to the environment (and therefore the public interest) than coal and natural gas do.

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.

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 science at play here, or whether it's a knee-jerk reaction toward something perceived as a liberal cause.

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 through Congress.
Converting to non-carbon forms of energy really isn't that hard. Prices for solar and wind electricity are starting to dip below those for coal, and there's been very little investment in it so far. It would create a ton of jobs too - in research, manufacturing, engineering, and so on.

which part, specifically
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 overwhelming probability is that climate change is real and man-made, and action should be taken as if that were the case.
The idea that models are "uncertain" in any meaningful sense exists in total contradiction with a vast body of evidence. You might as well be uncertain about the existence of gravity.

Like, you could say the existence of gravity is uncertain and "a matter of probabilities". That doesn't mean engineers and physicists should proceed as if it might not exist.
