Let's look at the Green New Deal being presented in Congress

[hislegacy]

Its propably just going to be too expensive. Air travel will be for emergencies and the rich and famous, and there will be cases where it will simply be impossible because of weather phenomena or shortages.

Is that from a movie or do you have something to back those opinions up?

Start with the dramatic rise in the cost of air travel.

Example:

There are approximately 3,500,000 homes in Los Angeles To upgrade all the homes (part of all buildings) you would have to upgrade more than 950 a day every day for ten years and that doesn’t include other types of buildings.

It’s not a slumlord thing, it would effect everyone.

I would have to upgrade them? Personally?

Can I at least hire a contractor?

Sounds like a lot of new jobs.

Arent the conservatives all about jobs?

Do you understand why that makes sense?

No, it makes no sense at all when you look at the costs and timeline.

Here you go:

So every homeowner would have to pay for it. And if they can’t afford it, or choose not to make the changes? What then?

Well, if I had to do it all myself as you suggested, sure... but I'm pretty certain I don't own all 3,500,000 of those homes in Los Angeles...

I’ll see the article and raise you reality.

On aircraft which fly above 30,000 feet, the temperature can often can get to temperatures below Jet-A's freezing point. For example: at 36,000 feet the standard outside air temperature is -56.5°C (-69.7°F) and is well below Jet-A's freezing point of

Do aircrafts not have to start and land in your reality?

Well, once we restore the tax rates for the Master Class back to pre-1980 levels, I'm sure some sort of deferment or tax break can be arranged...

...but that's not going to be your problem, so why feign concern?

Do you find the science to be unconvincing? I have a PhD in geochemistry so I’d be very interested in your take on the topic.

Everyone should have all of their debt erased, too.

I think we should add elimination of death and evil to the resolution too just to make sure we cover our bases.

 

[Yekcidmij]

Here is a winner:

(E) upgrading all existing buildings in the United States and building new buildings to achieve maximum energy efficiency, water effi- ciency, safety, affordability, comfort, and dura-
bility, including through electrification;

Every building in the US upgraded in the next ten years.

Let's start with me. I'll take an eco-friendly super-mansion, and a few Tesla's please. I mean, the resolution doesn't specify any details...

So every homeowner would have to pay for it. And if they can’t afford it, or choose not to make the changes? What then?

We'll put them in the stocks!

 

[Yekcidmij]

(G) working collaboratively with farmers 6 and ranchers in the United States to eliminate 7 pollution and greenhouse gas emissions from 8 the agricultural sector as much as is techno9 logically feasible,​

And if they don't want to work "collaboratively?" Then we go get 'em! You'll collaborate or else!

 

[Hammster]

Do you understand why that makes sense?

That’s funny.

You how you guys go on about those who defend Trump no matter how stupid he gets?

Welcome to the party.

The government just takes more from those rich folk.

Heh. This thread cracks me up.


The Reign of Commissar-General Cortez

Day 2

Commissar-General Cortez's tank brigades have secured the capitol region, stamping out all resistance. The streets run red with the blood of small business owners as hundreds of men are forced to gay marry their own dogs. A pile of aborted fetuses marks every corner where the stop signs used to be. Sharia law reigns.

"Please," begs Joe Q. America, humble monster truck mechanic from Heartlandtown, Kansas with 2.3 beautiful white children, as the Secret Illegal Immigrant Police force him to his knees. "No more healthcare!"

"We will make no apologies for the terror," Commissar-General Cortez answers, a cold fury in her voice. As his children are vaccinated before his eyes, she dances away like Ally Sheedy in the Breakfast Club.

It is only the beginning of the end.

I find it funny that over the past 25+ years that I’ve been hearing about this, it’s aleays 10+ years into the future.

And maybe you should get your money back.

Did you even read the article?

Will someone fact check the proposal?
