    Ok, I will risk it. What is a corporatist?
    Or what is the sin?

    When electric cars don't pay for roads you can think of it as internal combustion cars paying an extra gas tax and you can think of the extra gas tax as a tax on polluting the air. Now, all we have to do is switch our electricity generation from dirty forms such as coal fired plants and even natural gas fired generating plants to clean forms of electric power generation such as wind and solar. I see where Scotland is even using tidal power to generate electricity.

    This would be true if the power was generated using clean forms of energy production. However, at the current time, most electric power is still generated by burning coal. Then, there is the issue of losing some power by lossy transmission lines which means that even more power must be generated at the source. Nope, the only way is to introduce clean energy production.

    I'm going to heartedly endorse the production of clean energy.

    So, this guy goes into a bar with his dog. He walks up to the bartender and says that his dog can speak and if he shows his dog can talk, could he please have a free beer. The bartender says okay. The bartender says to the dog "What do you call the skin of a tree?" and the dog says, "bark, bark" The bartender then says "What does sandpaper feel like?" and the dog says "ruff, ruff". Finally the bartender says "Who is the greatest baseball player of all time?" and the dog says "roof, roof". The bartender tells the man to get the hell out of his bar and take your phony dog with you. As the man and the dog exit the bar the dog turns to the man and says "DiMaggio?"

    she was here in kailua kona in november and i am close with several vietnam vets that attended this event, all staunch republicans and solid supporters of the president. my friend big john got my attention when he said that following the veterans day/centennial armistice day event, that she was someone he could get behind and that he wished more politicians were like minded about the country.

    Ah! I see.

    That description fit Obama perfectly. Like when he let corporations off the hook for the healthcare plans they had agree to provide employees after they retired. We could have sued their asses off before his law. Providing a legal path to avoid pay an income tax on the healthcare pension plan if they quit providing the due compensation for services rendered. With the law in place, we had no legal recourse available. His action was to the benefit of American Corporations and in the same stroke, to transfer millions of formally covered people to become clientele of Healthcare insurance companies.

    I can think of no greater or more intense example of an American President fucking the people for the benefit of Corporations than this example.

    We're so far apart in so many ways but THIS is one area we'll never fight over.

    Rich people even get over on the little guys in everyday life.
    It was 10 years ago but a guy I worked with was fixing the right side of a new Mercedes S Class AMG something or other.

    The writer told the car's owner that the tech (Joe was his name) would fix the left 1/4 panel for free. If someone hits your car and there are a few door dings in a blend panel or something we techs often just throw those repairs in because we want it to be nice. THIS was a completely separate job that Joe should have made 150 bucks fixing.

    NOPE somehow the rich guy owner talked his way into a free 1000 dollar repair.

    Truth is a good thing. You disagree.

    TG calls people who commit atrocities for political gain Terrorists. The fact that it was our former corrupt President and former corrupt Secretary of State who armed the terrorists doesn't change the fact that they are terrorists. As in horrible, sadistic, baby-murdering killers-for-hire.

    The US under Obama/H.R. Clinton armed our enemies in several instances so they could fight our other enemies and keep arms, fuel, vehicle sales going for their masters in the Deep State who personally profit from such wars and always pass on a portion of the proceeds to those in government who make it happen.

    Americans were killed with many of these weapons and "volunteer community organizer" Obama is now somehow worth over $40,000,000 a mere 2 years after leaving the Presidency.

    The Clintons have accumulated over $800,000,000 (close to half from foreign countries) by "speaking".

    Israel is our only actual ally in the MO, all others being pretty much either sworn enemies or allies of convenience (temporary loyalty bought with weapons).

    When you say profit from such wars do you mean Halliburton?
    Can you show anyone how the Clintons accrued more than $800,000,000 by speaking? LOL
    Obama was worth $20,000,000 when he left the Presidency.
