"viciously racist and authoritarian" That describes the Democrat Party very well.
Given Berine's love of socialism, as the winner, don't all his votes get redistributed?
"No political record: tick." Quite right. Bernie has been in political office for 40 years and he has no political record.
"– High speed, electrified rail from Christchurch to Queenstown, for freight and passenger" Construction costs of high speed rail runs at about $50m/km. A line from Christchurch to Queenstown would be in the order of $25 billion.
"But the photo suggests they hit several buildings, far closer than the usual open spaces around an airport would warrant by pure chance." One building on the hardstand was hit. 3 landed close to small out buildings. This from a total of 22 missiles fired....
The link was provided to support the assertion that "caused significant adverse health effects to local residents." When you read it, there it is a very mixed bag. A lot of research indicates there was very little health impact, and there is some research ...
You could build a very effective solution simply by lining up a row of PWR3's. With a standard design, decommissioning costs reduce dramatically, especially when it is designed in from the beginning. It has been the bespoke, experimental nature of early ...
" Three Mile Island partially melted down and caused significant adverse health effects to local residents." Your link contains the following quote.... "A variety of epidemiology studies have concluded that the accident had no observable long term health ...
"But the same article suggests the Fateh-110s were pretty effective." Ain Assad is about 400km from the nearest point on the Iranian boarder. If Fareh-110's were used, they were fired from a point a couple of hundred kms inside Iraq. I think you will find ...
"“The Iranians are very proud of being able to target specific buildings.”" The Scuds Iran are using are lucky to hit a football field, their accuracy is in the order of hundreds of meters. Compare to a US Tomahawk is within a meter. Most of them hit open ...
"I am kinda getting over the bible bashers and their bullshit now, and we need to start resorting to extreme measures to cut this cancer out of society." Isn't this hate speech?
" Whoever dreamed up the plan to throw everything into an impeachment that could never ever be anything more than a divisive symbol was an idiot!" Don't you think they are doing this because they already knew they were going to lose?
"So Venezuela has not fallen over, no matter how hard the right have tried to destroy the country. The country is being hammered and yet it is still not a failed state." I'm curious as to your definition of a 'failed state'. A country from which 4 million ...
I do not believe that Trump has changed any law regarding abortion. Can you specify what he did to make abortion 'illegal for most'?
Every President makes judicial appointments, and they will be largely politically aligned with the views of the President. This is a President doing what they were elected to do.
OK, if you wish. "Providing succour to a violent domestic white supremacist movement (There were apparently "very fine people on both sides" at the Charlotesville clashes with neo-Nazis)" This is a hoax.
"I think the worst thing was around abortions." What did he do here?
Which one is the worst?
"In 2016 Trump campaigned to build a wall along the Mexican border, and that's around 2000 miles, so he can't campaign next year on the basis of achieving that goal." He can campaign on delivering a large amount of wall, against very significant resistance...
I'd be curious to know what people think is the worst thing he has actually done. For all the noise, I simply can't see very much that is anything like the narrative. "Potentially, he breaks NATO. Russia and China are then enabled to bind and to expand ...
Don't stress, I'm just passing through.
I'm not perfect. I don't think you are either. The presumptuousness of calling one's self 'Socrates' would be quite staggering.
"We did not leave because of Brexit." Funnily enough, here he says that is why he left; https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/may/24/miss-britain-brexitland-brexit-horror-ex-mayor-ipswich-netherlands Not a great surprise to find a journalist ...
"And that is how you deal with all the censorship/strangulation of public discourse that facebook, google, the Atlantic Council and others are seeking to be the arbiters of. That is how you deal with propaganda that propels itself by way of monetised ...
"Unlimited growth in the real world is simply not possible." The Limits to Growth was wrong when it was written and is still wrong today. As you say, we keep finding ways to extend those constraints and as long as we still have technological progress, that...
If you wish to make policy based on your ability to change human behavour, I suspect you will be both very disappointed and frustrated. Good luck.
"You argued that Labour want to increase rents. I pointed out that (a) that would be daft and (b) they're also building housing (which is what you say needs to be done." They are not building anywhere enough to impact the demand and reduce prices. The ...
"Are you now arguing that increasing social housing won't stop rents rising?" No, I am not.
If this was having an impact, rents would be falling. None of this additional regulation would be required.
" Also, as housing increases it will be harder for landlords to gouge the system in the way you suggest because tenants will have more choice." That would be correct, however the fundamental problem remains that housing supply is not increase in relation ...
"Obviously Labour don’t want rents to go up, so it doesn’t make sense to suggest their policies are designed to increase rents. Care to have another go?" The effect of these changes will be to reduce supply of rental houses. That is an elementary economic ...
