USA Political Thread 2024

kinda like sticking your fingers in your ears and not talking about the real reason

that there are 4-5 Billion too many people on the planet to provide for all, energy, to live healthy, productive lives like the first world does

in a hundred years we went from 2 to 8 Billion

"global warming" "climate changed" "climate emergency"

whatever bullshit term

it's overpopulation that is the problem

the balance is out of whack, has been for almost 100 yrs

of which no one, will talk about

i totally agree that population of the planet is a huge concern and people need to get over it and talk about the situation.

that doesn't take the carbon out of the atmosphere thats already been put there. any population in the future will have to restrict the amount of carbon put into the atmosphere.

10k times the human populations energy needs drop on the planet continuously. tapping into that is absolutely possible but is, indeed, more complex than just pumping a single product out of the ground to burn. but every step we make in that direction frees us from the biggest cabal on the planet. a cabal that has caused endless wars and economic pain for billions of people. we have the opportunity to build true energy resilience. but the cabals are not going to give that up easily. no fuckin way.

"After months of complaining about the crippling burden of high interest rates and expensive borrowing, Republicans for some strange reason don’t seem too happy that the Federal Reserve has moved to do something about it."

Loll add this to the Republican gripe card.... Guess they really don't want an affordable life for all

More crocodile tears crying election interference

and a tax doesn't either, take carbon out, it would have to be so high, to cause poverty, recession, existence, for the many, while the few, like the Turd, still thrive

what does, recessions, poverty, which is why Africa has low emissions, why 3rd world areas have low emissions, why places with low populations have lower emissions= total emissions, like Canada

cause totals is what matters now

and if "green" was the answer, it would have been adopted

it hasn't, we're still at 80% of energy from Carbon sources

and that's with 40% of the population with no electricity, heating, cars, ect.... like the 1st world

it's not the Cabals

it's normal people, who've seen the con and put it on ignore

like the Turd, do as I say, not as I do

cause they, the average person, can't afford the $$$, till the tech is there, which is decades away

it's just semantic bullshit

I like the idea of myself energy independent from oil and other sources. It would be neat to generate enough power by solar and wind to not be reliant on the grid. Almost independence from others except for the food and water question, but that could be next.

Certainly one of the benefits of countries not relying on oil and gas would be the ability to say f*ck off to Russia, Saudi Arabia and all those countries who have weaponized oil, even the US.

Population and climate change are interconnected. And to think dumb ashole JD Vance wants women to have more babies. 🤦‍♂️

Absolutely correct, I don’t get how back in the 60’s we were taught about the coming population explosion and to only reproduce yourself, 2 kids per family. They predicted food shortages environment devastation, it was ingrained in us and we stuck to it, well it all went out the window. Have to keep the population growing to support that huge pyramid scheme we are actively living in. Our low birth rate in Canada is now supplemented by 1million new immigrants in the last year alone, Holy Shit. And they are acting like they can’t figure out why there is no housing, schools or hospital, the world as a whole is oblivious to it. The Nationalist Christians want as many births as possible hence the abortion ban but no immigrants wanted, they are White only afraid of the great replacement theory, and the Orange Dumbo will make that happen for them!🤦🏻‍♂️. Alternately the scriptures do say be plentiful, perhaps we are the farm that just keeps on growing, the Spam Ships will be arriving shortly!🤔

we are we

With regards to healthcare in the US and Canada. I have near-death medical emergencies in both countries. Once was while I lived in Ontario (and covered by the provincial health plan) and the other was in the US (California under a top notch insurance plan). The Canadian doctors were better and the hospital stay better in Ontario. The American doctors were awful, mostly concerned about sued due to misdiagnosis, and the hospital was awful. I tend not to listen to people bray about how awful our medical systems in Canada are. I am still under care in Canada and have excellent care. If I moved back to the US, I wouldn't normally have any health coverage except I think that Obamacare does now allow pre-existing conditions. I really wonder what the hell most people on this thread know about close-to-death experiences in each of the two countries. I suspect that I might be the only one on this thread. Canadian health care is good but could be better. Treat your doctors with respect, manage your health, and try to cooperate with the system - this works well everywhere.

Thanos agrees with you. And if you're interested he's got a solution that's literally a snap of the fingers...

I guess for orange turd to win is to make sure votes are somehow suppressed in those red states where lots of his minions are in control of elections.

The letter endorsing Harris consists of 741 former high-ranking national security officials, including 233 general and flag officers. Among those 741 officials are 15 four-star generals, 10 former cabinet secretaries and 10 service secretaries as well as leaders who served in Republican administrations.

“We do not agree on everything, but we all adhere to two fundamental principles,” the letter reads. “First, we believe America’s national security requires a serious and capable Commander-in-Chief. Second, we believe American democracy is invaluable.”

“Each generation has a responsibility to defend it,” the letter continues. “That is why we, the undersigned, proudly endorse Kamala Harris to be the next President of the United States.”

yeah, cause we don't have this new found thing called birth control

if we only had it 50 yrs ago

you know, when all the semantic bullshit started about "global warming" "climate change" "climate emergency" started, more or less

just like the moronic bullshit of "refugees" who aren't, but are "economic" migrants isn't helping either, nor the solution

We've all experienced something like the following: The topic of politics comes up at a party, and someone in the group, seeking some way to say something smart but not divisive, will just toss out that we need to get rid of the Electoral College, the Constitution’s structure for electing the U.S. president and vice president.

The expectation is that everyone present will readily agree. And usually that is precisely what happens because few people have ever heard the other side.

We celebrate democracy so much, so often, that it seems like a no-brainer: the popular vote should always prevail. What possible reason would there be for any other system, much less this convoluted one in which states appoint electors who then weigh in with their choice?

Well, a cocktail party is not the ideal time to take up the topic but let’s just say it very clearly. The Founders were too smart, too well read in history, too aware of the complications and geographical diversity in the United States, and respectful of the federal system, to embrace something as crude and unsustainable as direct democracy.

Under such a system, the large population centers would dominate everyone else, and result in the worst excesses of mob rule.....

.....“Talents for low intrigue, and the little arts of popularity, may alone suffice to elevate a man to the first honors in a single State; but it will require other talents, and a different kind of merit, to establish him in the esteem and confidence of the whole Union.”

In 2010 I had a medical Emergency in Russia. Overnight 1.5 days there. They gave me a bill of about 94 USD charges to my Credit Card. 94 bucks all in room, food, scan, meds. Incredible! A sex massage costs more than a er visit don't know about now
In St.Peteraburg. A public hospital.
In USA it would be several thousand and that's if it's you're lucky day. You could buy a decent used car for 2 days in the Hospital in America

I believe America should get rid of the electoral collage system. President should be president of all states and not just swing states.

In early 2022 as things opened up I was taking a client to Whistler. He was a Democrat, in fact part of the National Committee. One of the people that got Obama into office. I asked him about Harris, why she wasn't as visible as previous Vice-Presidents. His response, " her job was done the day Joe Biden got elected."

Ofc he will not run if he lose in November coz he will be in jail. And if he wins, he also will not run either coz hell be president for life. Remember he said just vote for me and you don’t have to vote anymore after November.

Drafting the Constitution took place when there were only a handful of colonies.
The writers had to make sure the colonies were equal in status or they would not join the Union.
New York and Massachusetts were probably they only really urban areas, the rest were rural agricultural economies. Vastly different but they had to be made equal within the Union.
The Electoral College has outlived its usefulness. Passing legislation to dissolve it would be almost impossible though.
