Hey! Here's an idea! Let's stop subsidizing billionaire sports team owners! We could save... approximately $7 million!

And those people who don't support it because they pay more in carbon tax are the ones who need their behaviour to change... So, it works.
Generally speaking, buying outright is always cheaper than renting, because you can always continue to run the device potentially for years, or sell it to reclaim some capital.
And kids don't want to eat their vegetables or go to bed on time... Sometimes people need to be encouraged to do the thing they don't want to do, but is only in their best interest.
The stupidest part of this whole thing is now easy it would be to set up in a way that people could accept...
Levy a small carbon tax, nation wide, on all energy, for all users. The carbon tax goes into a fund, which is re-distributed to encourage the right behaviour:
- Improve / expand public transit
- Fund energy-efficiency retrofits
- Subsidize green power initiatives
- Rebates on zero-emission transport like electric bikes, and compact electric cars
- Retrain existing oil & gas industry workers to install/maintain electric infrastructure
- Cash for Clunkers to get polluting vehicles off the road
- Build new, ultra-energy efficient homes based on an improved building code
- Tax rebates to everyone in the lowest tax brackets.
Please, steal this idea.
Did anyone else get a full half-dozen alerts? I got the first one, then it repeated when I didn't respond to it, then it buzzed my watch, then I got two more separate alerts on the phone after dismissing each of them.
While I'm a big fan of waiting until I have more or better information before making a decision or speaking out, we've known that Gaza has been a bloodbath for weeks -- we have had verifiable video of the carnage since the beginning.
Any chance of getting him blocked at the border? He's not doing anything of value here, has a history of supporting insurrection and sowing hatred, plus all the dog whistle racist/nazi bullshit over his time at Fox...
For what it's worth, I was repeatedly harassed by users of Tutanota (I knew who it was, I was looking for proof to get a restraining order), and they stated that short of an international police investigation resulting in a local warrant, they wouldn't disclose anything -- even for people who were violating their terms of service (and therefore should have no expectation of protection under their privacy policy).
When people tell you who they are, believe them.
This dude is only sorry he got caught.
As much as I agree, Hamas isn't interested in negotiation, they want to convert the entire world to Islam.
Regardless of that, Israel should stop bombing hospitals, ambulances, and refugee camps, even if they think they contain members of Hamas, because it makes them terrorists as well.
What? The far-right-freedom-convoy-cowboy... Is a homophobe and bigot?
Or is the surprise just that he's FINALLY saying the quiet part out loud?
Ugh. This is one of the nutters that my mother was parroting during the pandemic, because he was a signatory to the 'Great Barrington Declaration' -- to which "Dr. I.P. Freely" was also a signatory.
