To pay by stopping coal burning and polluting as if they were the early United States x 2
What good does it do us to pay out the nose to go green when other major countries still burn coal and pollute? We are suffering in vain.The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of a doubt, what is laid before him.” - Leo Tolstoy, The Kingdom of God is Within You (1894). When both religious and non-religious people reach the same conclusions then you know religion isn't the reason.--Percy Democrats should not be the only party. Respect the two-party system. -Phat, in December 2022 We see Monsters where Science shows us Windmills.~Phat, remixed

What good does it do us to pay out the nose to go green when other major countries still burn coal and pollute? It's called "being an example for others to follow". It's called "doing our part". It's also worth mentioning that China leads the world in green energy production.

We can make the billionaires pay. What are we going to do tax a single mom that makes $20k even more? We double all of their taxes and won't amount to taxing the top 1% a couple more % points.

right, why solve any problem if we cant solve all the problems. After all as Jesus was fond of saying "fuck you I got mine"It's not enough to bash in heads, you've got to bash in minds soon I discovered that this rock thing was true Jerry Lee Lewis was the devil Jesus was an architect previous to his career as a prophet All of a sudden i found myself in love with the world And so there was only one thing I could do Was ding a ding dang my dang along ling long - Jesus Built my Hotrod Ministry Live every week like it's Shark Week! - Tracey Jordan Just a monkey in a long line of kings. - Matthew Good If "elitist" just means "not the dumbest motherfucker in the room", I'll be an elitist! - Get Your War On *not an actual doctor

Dr.(Not An Actual Doctor) Jones writes: Because its not the job of Americas working/middle class to pay this whole expense of going green. Many working people cant afford an electric car. Besides, our government has no right to be so Draconian Authoritarian on the insistence that we *all* switch. This issue will end up biting Biden in the Butt come election time.
why solve any problem if we cant solve all the problems.why solve any problem if we cant solve all the problems. The government is not in the mandatory morality business. Lest any of you tree hugging humanists disagree, you will see the groundswell of opposition to such authority. You dont speak for Jesus since you don't even think He exists.

Many working people cant afford an electric car. There are electric cars that are the same price as ICE cars.
Besides, our government has no right to be so Draconian Authoritarian on the insistence that we *all* switch. You still don't understand what authoritarian means.
This issue will end up biting Biden in the Butt come election time. Last I checked, Biden has never made electric cars mandatory.
The government is not in the mandatory morality business. Then what the fuck do you think laws are??????
You dont speak for Jesus since you don't even think He exists. Your feeble attempt at secularizing "Christian" morality is going to fail. You don't have to believe in Jesus in order to see how far short Christians fall of the commandments given by the New Testament.

This Ted Cruz?

Ted has his biases, that's for sure! From what i've seen, all politicians and commentators are biased in favor of their own ideology, however.The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of a doubt, what is laid before him.” - Leo Tolstoy, The Kingdom of God is Within You (1894).

Cruz is an amoral liar. As shown by his comments about Biden and Pence.

so tax the rich
Many working people cant afford an electric car.
as more EV come on the market the prices will drop, nobody is mandating we go straight electric tomorrow.
Besides, our government has no right to be so Draconian Authoritarian on the insistence that we *all* switch.
fuck you're an idiot. Authoritarian does not just mean "something i don't agree with". Passing laws is a necessary function of the government.
You dont speak for Jesus since you don't even think He exists.
again with this stupidity. I don't need to believe in jesus to see that while you claim to follow his teachings your words are in opposition to them. I don't have to be a christian to see that you're a hypocrite.It's not enough to bash in heads, you've got to bash in minds soon I discovered that this rock thing was true Jerry Lee Lewis was the devil Jesus was an architect previous to his career as a prophet All of a sudden i found myself in love with the world And so there was only one thing I could do Was ding a ding dang my dang along ling long - Jesus Built my Hotrod Ministry Live every week like it's Shark Week! - Tracey Jordan Just a monkey in a long line of kings. - Matthew Good If "elitist" just means "not the dumbest motherfucker in the room", I'll be an elitist! - Get Your War On *not an actual doctor

Passing laws is a necessary function of the government. Hence why we have such political division in this country. Neither side approves of the laws suggested by the other side. There is a large chasm between the ideologies. The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of a doubt, what is laid before him.” - Leo Tolstoy, The Kingdom of God is Within You (1894).

What we are seeing is more than disapproval. It is a lack of honesty about what the laws are, what authoritarianism is, and what laws people are proposing.

Tell us how.
Ted Cruz dismantles a Biden nominee once again. Phat writes:
You have it backwards. Conservatives have created a "gender identity pickle" where there is no reason for it to exist. What business is it of yours how somebody else identifies themselves? Why do you even need to mention it? Why does Ted Cruz even have an opinion on the subject? this whole gender identity pickle that the liberals seem to embraceCome all of you cowboys all over this land, I'll teach you the law of the Ranger's Command: To hold a six shooter, and never to run As long as there's bullets in both of your guns. -- Woody Guthrie
