I've actually seen the more technically inclined leftists use this as their argument. In the sense that once they've destroyed the economy they'll be no choice but to dismantle capitalism.
/r/economics is still hilariously a shithole of peak redditry. /r/badeconomics is far better and has its own share of lolcows on both the right and left.
So does daddy, tbh I used to absolutely fetishize economics to the point if I ever met an econ grad Jewish girl I'd propose right on the spot but now idk.
My ex got mad at me when I told her the average person is an idiot. And yet she hated gonalt glumpft. Disturbing how how she couldn't connect the dots.
guaranteeing economic security for those unwilling to work
banning nuclear power
updating every building in the us to be green in 10 years
is only scratching the surface
it looks like she literally copy and pasted a bunch of highly upvoted reddit comments and made it her climate change policy, ive known she was retarded, but the fact that policies this retarded have widespread support among people my age is actually scary.
You forgot where she wants to ban meat because of cow farts.
Also, banning planes in favor of high-speed rail. What is it with lefties and high-speed rail? Is this some sort of fetish thing? Did Karl Marx lose his virginity on a train, making it the sexiest thing a lefty can possibly imagine?
they think the us is the same size, with the same demographic makeup, lifestyles, and culture as very specific parts of europe (not the whole) for some reason.
The argument was about whether the US, a first world country, should have a rail system or not. So pointing out that only other first world countries have them, while most third world countries don't, is kind of a Pyrrhic victory.
Do Canada or Australia have rail systems comparable to Western Europe or Japan? Because every other first world country is a lot smaller and more densely populated (aside from the northern parts of the Nordic Countries where nobody lives) than the US is.
the rail system in america is actually one of the best in the world, for anything that's not people. US freight rail in unbelievably good. Ironically, in Europe they use trucks to move shit way more often and for longer distances, causing a hell of a lot of pollution
Boston’s rail system is great. Anyone shitting on it is almost always a transplant trying to parrot some meme to fit in.
Granted it could always be improved. I was very impressed with the Swiss rail system but a culture change would be in order to achieve what makes that system work
Honestly, I find NYC's subway to be amazing as well. I mean, it looks and sometimes smells like shit, but you can go anywhere in NYC on it. I mean, 30-40km in an hour (say, Manhattan to Coney Island)? That's a fucking dream in my country.
Removing one cumskin would have the same impact as removing 500 niggers on global co2 emissions so I think taking the path of least resistance would be wiser
It's [about 10% of GHG emissions] (all agriculture is 15%), not negligible but absolutely exaggerated by people trying to push an ideology (usually veganism).
When I was in highschool I had to debate against global warming. Used the cow farts as proof it wasn't man made and therefore wasn't caused by deforestation. Blew those hippie conscripts out of the water.
Just cause its a debate doesnt mean its not retarded or has any merit. There are plenty of other points you could have made about the earth naturally warming but you had to go with the smoothbraib take.
Debates aren't based on the merit of your argument, you're literally assigned a topic and a stance to take, you're given points on how persuasive you present it. Most points win after a set of rounds.
Hitler may have failed in many aspects (couldnt even finish eliminating a single race) but at least he did Germany right with the autobahn. Speed limits are for cucks.
But was there not a thing recently that reckoned High Speed rail coast to coast would be quicker or something ? Think they compared it to China where their high speed rail covered a similar distance and offered more services a day.
There's no way in hell it would be faster, at least not today. Airliners usually cruise at 700-800 km/h, whereas the absolute record for high speed rail is around 600km/h, which itself is nearly double compared to regular service.
They hate rural/working class people ergo they think a country should be a few metropoles with trains between them and mega city one-style slums surrounding them
Don’t forget she has a degree in economics. But it’s not important how we’re going to pay for all this shit because we’re all going to enjoy the prosperity it creates.
Fucking commie mommy and all her supporters should neck themselves.
Nuclear power has issues but using it to wean us off of coal in the short term is like a choice between cutting off your gangrenous finger versus just waiting for an infection to spread to your arm. Only hippies are too dumb to see this, they think any interest in nuclear power means renewables are canceled
I think I know what it is. People dont consume the policies directly, in 2 days there will be an article that "explains" her policies but leave out all the crazy.
Or the language in the bill saying something along the lines of putting charging “everywhere”. They literally say everywhere. And that they’ll plant “lot of” trees. This seems like they have their staffers lsd and told them to bring them back something insane
I know someone that was prescribed a variety of medications for her bi-polar disorder and "depression". She gets fired from her job and isn't really working for about 9 months. She stops taking one of her medications on purpose, which is a mixture of amphetamines. She has one seizure from the withdrawal from the amphetamines. Doctors keep her in the hospital for 1 week to basically say nothing is wrong, but they put her on anti-seizure meds from one withdrawal seizure. She immediately applied for SSDI. She immediately has her doctors notify the DMV so her driver's license can be revoked and support her disability claim. She stupidly thinks you can be awarded disability in 8 weeks or less, by this point it has been almost 5 months.
Suddenly she realizes that her car is in danger of being repossessed for the third time in 4 months and her family is deeply in debt because of her not working. Decides she suddenly isn't disabled and gets a job, suddenly she wants her license back and no longer wants to wait for disability.
AngryDM from circlebroke2, gamerghazi, etc. is like the posterchild for SSDI abuse. His "disability" is that shitposting on metareddit all day and all night gives him anxiety and insomnia. Your tax dollars at work.
Obama administration SSA loosened the rules for claiming disability (to make the official unemployment numbers look less terrible, the cynical among us might say) and now basement-dwelling NEETs qualify for government subsidies as long as they can hire a doctor to diagnose them with an amorphous mental disorder and a lawyer to annoy the SSA until they approve the application.
Aww she took it down though. I'm guessing she'll cite harassment again soon and talk about how people who think her plan would never work are just incels who want to fuck her or some shit. What a retard, though, good for her for lowering the bar.
not before every single declared dem 2020 candidate except some guy id never heard of before supported it.
pelosi was against it and youd have to think biden was against it. god help us if biden doesnt get the democratic nomination next year, even beto and klobuchar supported it.
I think he has a good chance. He's leading the polls by a huge margin, often getting 2-3x the percentage that Bernie gets despite similar levels of name recognition.
True, but they haven't started parading the videos of him being creepy with various young women in public especially in the #MeeToo era. He's as pervy as Bill Clinton with all the charm of Zuckerburg.
There's also the videos of the idiotic things he's said over the years.
The brand name Green New Deal was coined by King Neoliberal himself Thomas Friedman in 2007. Obama also called for it in 2008-9. In other words, the Dems are happy to support Commie Mami's slogan, but they're not necessarily going to support all the particulars or her "legislation."
Beto didn't support it. A spokesperson came out a while ago saying he was "open" to it before the details were revealed. I don't think he's said anything since.
The only problems I have with her proposal are banning cows and nuclear energy.
Nuclear energy is really the only serious alternative to oil that can actually provide enough energy. It needs to be completely state controlled.
Love the full on cope from lanyard neoliberal incels.
AOC triggers neoliberals and DDF. I'd like to see her tax plan, healthcare, some environmental policies and abolishing ICE just to push the right into suicide mode.
It actually unironically makes me butthurt, "environmentalists" choosing meme renewables over nuclear and hydro was the worst decision of the late 20th century.
seriously. was out with some people getting lunch between shifts and got onto the topic of renewable energy. one of the older guys (my site manager) there said he was big into protesting in the 70s for clean energy, so i started going off about new reactors and fusion, and how fossil fuels kill more people per day then every single nuclear accident and bomb put together.
turns out the old fogey was an anti nuclear protester in the 70s...
never got another shift with that company after tht one... people are weird.
Fuck yes it's magic. Aren't we almost at breakeven too?
I unironically support a serious green new deal cause otherwise we're all gonna be dead and shit, but this proposal needs to go back to the drawing board.
very very close. it's unfortunately not something that has anywhere near the funding it needs.
as the saying goes, fusion is always 20 years away.
there have been some recent breakthroughs up here in canuckistan in the past couple of years, but again it's never enough with the paltry funding it gets.
That's a fair assessment. But I'll argue that even fission is greener than burning coal for power. Banning nuclear power as part of a green new deal is stupid, IMO.
Completely unrelated but I worked in a Turkish restaurant once and I have this joke I like to tell. It goes, "What do you call a black man flying an airplane? A pilot you racist."
So we get this new waitress from Turkey. She comes up to the line and of course I have to tell my joke. So I ask her, " What do you call a Turkish man flying an airplane?" Without missing a beat she goes, "A terrorist" and just walks away.
AOC really is the mirror image of Trump and this meme level "proposal" is proof, this is the most shallow and dumb understanding of environmental issues, in particular the anti-nuclear power, carbon tax or cap and trade portion. It's pandering to a base of idiots along the lines of "rapists are coming across the border" or go in and take the oil.
"lets do all these different things that have nothing to do with climate change, and also, lets probably not implement the most effective measure against climate change"
Imagine supporting nuclear energy when South Carolina spent $9 billion to build a big hole in the ground which was meant to be a reactor but now they have to fill it in.
Ok, this discussion has gone off the rails and I can't keep up with the volume of political content. I don't think we can be up all night moderating, so I'm going to lock it.
Why do these retards think they have to be there moderating every single discussion?
Ok, this discussion has gone off the rails and I can't keep up with the volume of political content. I don't think we can be up all night moderating, so I'm going to lock it. We appreciate everyone who was able to keep comments to analysis and discussion of the economics.
idk every dem 2020 candidate came out and supported it yesterday, you are right that it would never be implemented, the us would collapse before we got close to implementing it if we tried.
I like the part about giving money to "those unwilling to work". It really has the potential to set up the /r9k/-hikkikomori Paradise some of us dreamed about.

Debates aren't based on the merit of your argument, you're literally assigned a topic and a stance to take, you're given points on how persuasive you present it. Most points win after a set of rounds.

Non american here so don't flame.
But was there not a thing recently that reckoned High Speed rail coast to coast would be quicker or something ? Think they compared it to China where their high speed rail covered a similar distance and offered more services a day.
​
1 sevgee 2019-02-08
There's no way in hell it would be faster, at least not today. Airliners usually cruise at 700-800 km/h, whereas the absolute record for high speed rail is around 600km/h, which itself is nearly double compared to regular service.
1 Wenge03 2019-02-08
but when you take in check-in at the airport baggage etc???
1 BaDonkAGronk69 2019-02-08
Yeah 40 mins to check in and go through TSA = 16 hours on a train

1 jimmahdean 2019-02-08
Plus if Rail becomes as popular as Air, TSA will be similar for trains vs planes.

Nuclear power has issues but using it to wean us off of coal in the short term is like a choice between cutting off your gangrenous finger versus just waiting for an infection to spread to your arm.

I know someone that was prescribed a variety of medications for her bi-polar disorder and "depression". She gets fired from her job and isn't really working for about 9 months. She stops taking one of her medications on purpose, which is a mixture of amphetamines. She has one seizure from the withdrawal from the amphetamines. Doctors keep her in the hospital for 1 week to basically say nothing is wrong, but they put her on anti-seizure meds from one withdrawal seizure. She immediately applied for SSDI. She immediately has her doctors notify the DMV so her driver's license can be revoked and support her disability claim. She stupidly thinks you can be awarded disability in 8 weeks or less, by this point it has been almost 5 months.
Suddenly she realizes that her car is in danger of being repossessed for the third time in 4 months and her family is deeply in debt because of her not working. Decides she suddenly isn't disabled and gets a job, suddenly she wants her license back and no longer wants to wait for disability.
Disabililty is a scamming crock of shit.

Obama administration SSA loosened the rules for claiming disability (to make the official unemployment numbers look less terrible, the cynical among us might say) and now basement-dwelling NEETs qualify for government subsidies as long as they can hire a doctor to diagnose them with an amorphous mental disorder and a lawyer to annoy the SSA until they approve the application.

The brand name Green New Deal was coined by King Neoliberal himself Thomas Friedman in 2007. Obama also called for it in 2008-9. In other words, the Dems are happy to support Commie Mami's slogan, but they're not necessarily going to support all the particulars or her "legislation."

Nuclear energy is really the only serious alternative to oil that can actually provide enough energy. It needs to be completely state controlled.

It actually unironically makes me butthurt, "environmentalists" choosing meme renewables over nuclear and hydro was the worst decision of the late 20th century.
1 tyler111762 2019-02-08
seriously. was out with some people getting lunch between shifts and got onto the topic of renewable energy. one of the older guys (my site manager) there said he was big into protesting in the 70s for clean energy, so i started going off about new reactors and fusion, and how fossil fuels kill more people per day then every single nuclear accident and bomb put together.
turns out the old fogey was an anti nuclear protester in the 70s...
never got another shift with that company after tht one... people are weird.
1 Quietus42 2019-02-08

Fusion, if possible to do at a small scale for a reasonable price, is literally fucking alchemy.
1 Quietus42 2019-02-08
Fuck yes it's magic. Aren't we almost at breakeven too?
I unironically support a serious green new deal cause otherwise we're all gonna be dead and shit, but this proposal needs to go back to the drawing board.
1 tyler111762 2019-02-08
very very close. it's unfortunately not something that has anywhere near the funding it needs.
as the saying goes, fusion is always 20 years away.
there have been some recent breakthroughs up here in canuckistan in the past couple of years, but again it's never enough with the paltry funding it gets.
1 Quietus42 2019-02-08
That's a fair assessment. But I'll argue that even fission is greener than burning coal for power. Banning nuclear power as part of a green new deal is stupid, IMO.
