If you ever read "fifth circuit court of appeals", know that you're about to read some bullshit. Every bad decision the current Supreme Court has made started with the fifth circuit.

This is a prime example of misinformation and propaganda! I'm saving this. This is good.

I'm the little bit everyday person. I'll clean the bathrooms one day, then vacuum the floors the next. Wash clothes later in the week, something I need to do today.

I feel like doing a bit a day helps keep things cleaner than if I did it all at once. Things can appear overwhelming pretty quickly, at which point I won't want to do it at all.

Genocide is just murder on an industrial scale intended to solve some social problem (at least that's a modern way of looking at it). The justification for a single murder is extended to a whole group and those people become history.

Could they afford it before? What's changed since then? Bigger climate numbers? Why should they care?

Except it's red states that are leading in building infrastructure for renewable energy production.

That's unsurprising if you understand what ESG stocks are. They're not about being environmentally friendly:

According to Bloomberg, “[ESG] ratings don’t measure a company’s impact on the Earth and society. In fact, they gauge the opposite: the potential impact of the world on the company and its shareholders.”

The emergency stay granted by Fifth Circuit judges on Friday came in a case brought by two fracking companies, Liberty Energy and Nomad Proppant Services. “There is no clear authority for the S.E.C. to effectively regulate the controversial issue of climate change,” the two companies wrote in their petition. They were “arbitrary and capricious,” the two companies said, and violated the First Amendment, which protects free speech, by “effectively mandating discussions about climate change.”

The Fifth Circuit is where the law goes to be corrupted. All the consequential cases over the last few years had their start in the Fifth Circuit.

Basic neoclassical econ 101:

  • The demand curve is made of those willing and able to pay
  • The supply curve is made of those willing and able to produce

That's why there's a market for overpriced Gucci bullshit apparel while people literally starve in the streets.

It's like crabs (optimized animals) and trains (optimized transportation), optimized economic systems will gravitate towards socialism because it's objectively better in every way that matters, enhancing human flourishing.

Yeah, the video was about two-faced liberals, not necessarily progressives (though, plenty of progressives are two-faced, too).

This sounds like something that will work! Thank you!
