Post by chrisvPost by chrisvSeems like nothing of any of the "points" you made. At least for me.
Meaning that (bullshit snipped)
Meaning that you make shit up to attack. Most conservatives are
smarter and more aware than what you have asserted.
Based on postings here, there's been zero evidence that 'smarter' ones
even exist. Case in point:
You bravely snipped above: "...you damn well know that there's been
screams of "Fuck your feelings" by the MAGAs....", to try to avoid
acknowledging what was said, because you know that it is true.
Post by chrisvWe *must* reduce our dependance upon China. They are our enemy. If
that reduces our standard of living, so be it.
Sure, but if you really do what you say, then why are you supporting the
US politician who gave China even more power & influence when he
withdrew the USA from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), which had
been configured to limit China's growth in influence?
Likewise, how do you support a candidate who's calling to cancel the US
CHIPS Act? Because this Act's purpose is to regain US manufacturing
capacity in the semiconductor industry and improve national security by
countering the huge Chinese push for dominance in this industry.

accept increased prices as inevitable as we necessarily reduce our
dependance upon our enemy, China.
which has already resulting in multiple deaths of women.
Sad if true, but far more lives were saved.

Post by chrisvPost by chrisvHordes of immigrants invading our country is not hand waving.
... just what is the actual problem with these immigrants?
It's far too many, far too quickly. They are overwhelming our
systems. They are completely unvetted for quality and ability to
contribute.
Okay, but if that's really your position, then why are you supporting
the US politicians who are actively opposing fixing the backlog and
vetting problems by killing the bipartisan immigration bill?
FYI, if your defense is that it didn't go far enough, what's wrong with
taking a positive step in the desired direction? After all, "A journey
of 1000 miles starts with a single step" ...
Repeating something I asked RonB, just how long should the processing
take? Because TANSSAFL applies.
And FWIW, before one gets all hyped up about making sure that they're
only good quality folks who can contribute, where's the historical prior
precedent for this to be a standard? It certainly didn't exist for the
millions who came in through Ellis Island, plus as those small town
Haitians are demonstrating, they do good quite quickly. Ditto for the
upwards of 89% working in the Dairy industry as I'd previously cited.

Post by chrisvPost by chrisv... that
won't do any good while our enemy, China, laughs and builds two
coal-fired plants every week is not hand waving.
But that is hand waving (straw man arguments and verbose diversion attempts snipped)
No, it's a fact.
Oh, so its a "fact" that China's not building any solar/wind?
"China Building Twice as Much Wind and Solar as Rest of World Combined"
"China is building 180 gigawatts of large solar projects and 159
gigawatts of large wind projects, which together amount to nearly
two-thirds of the capacity coming online worldwide, according to an
analysis from Global Energy Monitor"
"Wind and solar already amount to more than a third of Chinese power
capacity, and they are expected to surpass coal capacity this year."
<https://e360.yale.edu/digest/china-wind-solar-double-world>
Whoops!
Post by chrisvThe amount of carbon being spewed is controlled by
Southeast Asia.
You were complaining about China: don't try to dishonestly move the
goalposts now to "Southeast Asia".
What you're trying to invoke on is how China went on a coal power plant
building spree in the late 2010s, which was as a risk reduction measure
in case growths in nuclear+solar+wind didn't meet their domestic demand.
But what you're overlooking is that building it doesn't mean it gets
turned on and used:
"In May [2024], China saw its coal output hit a record low as renewable
generation surged, according to a new analysis from CarbonBrief."
<https://e360.yale.edu/digest/china-wind-solar-double-world>
Likewise, and as I've already said (but you bravely snipped!), you're
trying to "ignore how coal thermal plants can be later converted". This
is because a thermal powerplant is a thermal powerplant, so the thermal
source can be swapped out...plus its also possible that the only part
that's considered valuable is just its grid connection infrastructure:
<https://www.cnn.com/2024/09/16/climate/coal-to-solar-minnesota/index.html>
FYI, see also Switzerland's co-generation using solar & hydro:

Post by chrisvThis bullshit about electric cars that aren't even
any better, for example, is ridiculous.
Where are the solar panels coming from? China. Where are the wind
turbines coming from? China? Where is the Lithium for batteries
coming from? China.
China is making sure that they have abundant energy, while we grow
weak and dependant. When they decide to take Taiwan, we won't dare do
anything about it. Then they'll own the chip supply, too.
Have fun being subservient to the CCP, America!
Oh, so its a good thing then that Trump killed the TPP, increasing
China's dominance?
Post by chrisvPost by chrisvLeftists calling normal people "haters" if they don't want perverted
men in girls locker rooms is not hand waving.

Trump is not relevant to the issue, ...
Incorrect, because you said "men", not boys. As such, you've exluded
those who you claim are the feelings of a few confused/sick.
Post by chrisvand the feelings of a few confused
and/or sick does not override the feelings of everyone else.
No, for you're trying to take the lazy way out: the principles of
equality is that it is for all, not just the 98% that's easy.
Post by chrisvI'm not going to bicker, again, about all of the issues. Your
assholery about the right having nothing but "hand waving" has been
debunked. Your response to this post will be deleted, unread.
Oh look: it is chrisv falsely declaring victory again: just like what
we can expect Trump to do tomorrow, no matter the election outcome!
