I think the assumption is that the UK will come crawling to us for a trade deal and we’ll reap the benefits of that. 

Been expecting this since the Trumpanzee was “elected.” Putting demented people with no humility in charge of giant economy is a recipe for a Mr. Robot-level economic meltdown.

And a bottle of cyanide has less calories than a bottle of coke. SO if you are concerned about calories, you should drink the bottle of cyanide.

(No, seriously, go drink a bottle of cyanide, please).

Also, likely a campaign violation from Shell, the audience was a captive audience on the clock.

I hear if the wind goes too fast, Family Feud will start fast-forwarding!

I have a hard time believing the man who just gutted the endangered species act really cares about a dead birds.

5000??? WTF?

You’re a long way off here. The issue is the lying and the cheating. Humans on Earth are always going to shit. Yet if we say where we should shit to keep us from getting dysentery, and ol’ Franz keeps shitting by the drinking water and lying about it, then fuck him. Don’t come in here and say “but all shit has…

All those studies conveniently dont account for any CO2 or general pollution incurred collecting and disposing of all those plastic bags in landfills and certainly dont account for the damage to the environment they cause when a large percentage of them wind up as litter.

This. Also it is not a normal thing to research each and every executive at each and every company you do business with. You would be paralyzed, unable to buy anything because you would spend all your time researching who invested in your grocery store of choice, who built the car you drive, who executive produced the…

“Meanwhile, once you figure in the outrageously high CO2 battery fabrication costs, pretty much any Tesla in 80% of the US exceeds that diesel Jetta’s figure by 50-10%”

Trust in God, everyone else must bring data! This claim is BS. Plastic bags come from oil. Getting oil out of the ground, transported and refined is not a clean process. And you are telling me that a cloth or canvas bag has 5000x not 5, not 50, not 500 but 5000x, more C02 produced in their production than a plastic…

Yeah, the reason why I keep mentioning a Ta-Nehisi Coates quotation about racism is precisely because it is, bar none, the best operational test for whether or not a person is being a bigot.

This is an absurdly myopic argument.

We regulate more than one pollutant. They all matter. Come. On.

Except throughout the life of the reusable bag, it will replace more than 5000 plastic bags, so not only is it more enviromentally friendly, it cuts down on CO2 emissions as well

You want to cite those battery fab CO2 costs? Everything thing I have seen about them has all the scrupulousness of the old Hummer vs. Prius bullshit. 

When you consider the CO2 output over the total lifecycle of a vehicle (raw material mining through vehicle end-of-life disposal), what proportion % of total CO2 output occurs during manufacturing?

Counter-counterpoint, we’re not talking about CO2 we’re talking about nitrogen oxides and particulates which are extremely toxic to humans. we’re not talking about greenhouse gases we’re talking about things that literally kill human beings when they are inhaled

The second is a photoshopped image--Epstein is not in that picture. Even without Epstein in the picture, it’s a creepy fucking picture.
