Yes it’s true that developing the recycling systems would cost money—I reference the challenge of creating this new infrastructure throughout the story. This sentence was not as well-worded as it should’ve been.

What I meant to insinuate with this is that mining sand will always be a materially and ecologically…

Appreciate this critique. The article wasn’t intended to necessarily argue for anything—just point out that CCS is a big factor in the policy proposal and explain the potential risk of that. If the new EPA rule ends up enacted, it could become yet another driver that pushes U.S. energy down a fruitless path.

As Greig…

And no company is going to do that. Not a multi-billion dollar chain. Not a mom-and-pop. Not anywhere in between. These people have to get licenses. In the real world, those are at risk here.

California doesn’t operate pharmacies though. It’s really the companies that have to choose to ignore the judges ruling (CVS, Rite-Aid, Duane Reed, whatever).

My bad. I misunderstood your point. Sorry about that.

Duh. They’re exaggerating for effect. It’s a legit question. If YOU were running a business and business was slower and projected to be slower than when you hired the employees, why would you just keep the same number on the team? And it’s not just Microsoft, tech companies in general are laying people off. Google is…

I skimmed through this and didn’t see a mention of Hasan hosting/boosting transphobe Christian Walker, getting clowned on by Walker, and then verbally assaulting a trans person in his audience when they had the audacity to say something to the effect of “Maybe you should know what you’re talking about before having a…

It’s on like Donkey Kong.

But Hillary’s emails! Benghazi! She’s not likable enough! She needs to inspire me! /s

Welp. 2016 fully came home to roost. This is why voting for one of the two candidates that will actually win matters.

Do you really think they could have started any proceedings before the release of the report without it being a total shitstorm that would have been a utter disaster for the Democrats?

Come on Paul, let’s be real.

We’re apparently talking about different things. Aversion to risk is not what I’m talking about. Do you believe she hates Biff and wants him out of office? If so we’re on the same page there, but my comment stands, in that the characterization of her being dragged kicking and screaming towards impeachment is unfair…

C’mon. The very premise of what you’re saying would require that Pelosi doesn’t want to impeach. That’s not the issue and you know it. The more accurate take is that something cut and dried enough has popped up and caused a majority in the Democratic membership to support impeachment, and Pelosi is doing what she’s…

Lol u mad. Oh my god, it’s just KILLING you. *cackle*

Yeah anyone calling them centrist doesn’t listen to them and is just pretending that it’s still 2011 and they all still work for Obama. I don’t listen religiously but I catch enough of it. While they have some tendencies to be overly defensive about Obama, they have been going hard in the paint for removing the…

Centrist has to be the most namby pamby insult.

WHY DIDN'T YOU USE A BACK BRACE!? 

Don’t hold your breath. If Pelosi literally tossed Trump down a reactor shaft Star Wars style, Splinter would be right there bitching that she lifted with her back instead of her legs.

When will this site report honestly on Pelosi’s trepidation in initiating an impeachment inquiry? Seems like everyone outside of this echo chamber understands that she was protecting Democrats in vulnerable (conservative) districts, who, if forced into an impeachment vote, would have potentially jeopardized the…
