Re: Forgiveness
They all deserve to die for their vicious, sadistic goals.
I think their behavior is unforgivable. I have disowned 4 cousins and their mother and jettisoned several former friends because of their disgusting racist, anti-human, anti-civilization political/religious ideologies. Fuck them! I don't want to associate with them or listen to their hateful crap, because they make me want to punch them right in the face and it angers me that they can cause those kinds of feelings in me.

Re: Justifiable Extremism?
Phat writes: you would *never* vote for anything that any Republican proposed. Am I right?
I don't remember them proposing anything that didn't intentionally fuck a bunch of Americans and line their own pockets. Do you remember them deregulating the railroads under Turd?

Re: What Is Deregulation
Phat writes: But its all new to me. Getting rid of safety regulations for citizens, workers, children, consumers and the environment, is what the Turd administration was attempting every day they were in office. Cutting funding to governmental agencies so they cannot hire or pay regulators is a standard republican strategy. Maybe you noticed all their bullshit about "armed IRS agents are coming to kill you" rhetoric. Your question was about voting for anything the Republicans propose. Can you name any bills they have proposed that didn't fuck everyone but the ultra rich and Republican politicians? How about sunsetting every fucking federal law so they all have to be re-authorized by Congress? Social security, Medicare....for fuck sake Phat you great financial wizard, pay attention! Point to a single republican bill that was intended to just help people, to make the lives of the poor just a fucking tiny bit better, without a hidden government money geyser for the wealthy!
Phat writes: So i'm thinking of my "Mayor Pete" comment and of how my conservative pro-Trump friend hates Pete. They hate him because he's a gay man who ignores their hate and gets on with doing his job with dignity.

Re: What Is Deregulation
Oh, I know...let's deregulate the banks! After the banks failed during one of the Republican led recessions they deregulated the banks, because they needed to rip off more poor people with fraudulent mortgages. Or just defund the bank regulators. Oh, another good one...let's deregulate the Securities and Exchange, Wall Street. Let's deregulate the defense industry and government contracts, and I'll bet we can bribe the rest of the regulators...Who's going to notice if body armor for our brave soldiers won't stop bullets. Let's regulate the fuck out of elections so we have people at every polling station intimidating voters and we require special ID to vote that you have to obtain at one single DMV office somewhere in Alabama that is only open between 2PM and 3PM on alternate Thursdays, but IDs will be mailed directly to white voters, that will stop all the voter fraud. The list goes on and on and on, Phat! This is rich people misusing their influence over politicians to rig the system so it always rips you off to THEIR benefit. That's Republicans, that's conservatives!

I have never been funded to study dragonflies with any public money. I was an entomologist working at a government agency studying invasive woodboring insects that threaten our forests and orchards. I also worked on specific invasive species including the Emerald Ash Borer, Japanese Beetle, Brown Marmorated Stinkbug, Spotted winged Drosophila, Sirex noctillio, and Asian Longhorned Beetle.
I have funded every single aspect of my study of dragonflies out of my own pocket!

Re: In Brief:
Yep! It was discovered here a few months ago. A few years ago we lost a beautiful birch in our yard to the Bronze Birch Borer. They are both Buprestids (Jewel Beetles) and quite attractive metallic colored beetles with no natural specialist parasites found in North America to control them and spaying has no effect on the larval stage eating away inside the trees. The first time you realize something is wrong is when branches start dying.

Re: In Brief:
What's that got to do with intuition? Everyone can see the behavior and responses that China makes on the world stage. They are making allies in African and South American countries with underdeveloped industrial infrastructure, but with vast tracts of land and unexploited highly valuable mineral deposits. These are strategic minerals that are essential for advances in technology. Meanwhile, the U.S. is becoming isolationist and spiteful toward our allies and has withdrawn aid from the less developed countries and has opened the gate to Chinese aid for the third world, and this is all driven by the Republicans and conservatives in the U.S. who seem to be afraid of absolutely everything that they can possibly imagine, while intentionally ignoring the global dangers that are obviously imperilling us all!. China is spending 4 times more than the U.S. on renewable energy.
Scientific American:
Nearly half of the world's low-carbon spending took place in China, according to a recent analysis from market research firm BloombergNEF. The country spent $546 billion in 2022 on investments that included solar and wind energy, electric vehicles and batteries. That is nearly four times the amount of U.S. investments, which totaled $141 billion. The European Union was second to China with $180 billion in clean energy investments.
China Invests $546 Billion in Clean Energy, Far Surpassing the U.S.:
Scientific American:
China accounted for nearly half of the world's low-carbon spending in 2022, which could challenge U.S. efforts to bolster domestic clean energy manufacturing

Re: China Has More To Lose Than Anyone Else
You do understand how the bond market works, don't you?
They cannot just dump bonds. They have to sell them.
Ah, but that's Phat's brilliant secret strategy, get China to dumb the bonds and eliminate the U.S. national debt.
