Did you say EBDB? Well, how about the EBDBB&B (NSFW)?

I assume you refer to Putin. But you come of ambiguously for those who don’t realize Finland isn’t an aggressor. Really more of a FAFO type county. Don’t fuck with the Finns.

That’s the neat thing! They don’t.

then shalt thou count to three…

The rare Office Space paraphrase joke. I can only assume the downvotes haven’t got a clue. NICE.

No offense, but then “happening” would have been more appropriate. The other commenter is correct about “happened” being past tense as in… it’s over. Or you could have used “has happened” which leaves a bit of room for future violence. But this is pedantry at it’s best - you’re intent having been acknowledged. :)

I remember how frequent “legislating from the bench” came up on the news - Is the GOP up in arms about this one?

[Insert “The What?”] meme here

Not an excuse… but unironically this is why so many rural States are Red. Lack of opportunity and the only hope is in religion. Addressing very real existential erosion of their livelihoods and economic fears would go a long way toward avoiding a civil war. Which another Trump presidency might just bring about…to the Russian’s joy, having set the wheels in motion decades ago.

Except you did reply to this. With ad hominem attacks of being emotional and annoying. Instead of with any kind of counter argument. All supposedly because I used some caps for emphasis. lol

Show us the facts - I don’t care about opinions (including my own). But… here’s some info for you. Perhaps I can change your position…

No? Still think regulating this is an overreach? I’m not even saying we can magically get to net-zero carbon immediately. I use NG for heat and gasoline in my vehicle. I’m no hypocrite - I am making investments in efficiency and will eventually be all electric with a large solar setup. This takes time and money and not everyone can do that. Oil and Gas have their place in the transition to renewable power.

We must regulate an industry that we continue to prop up with 100s of billions in subsidies and which get super special treatment by our lawmakers due to outsized lobbying and coushy jobs waiting in the wings for enablers after leaving government. On its face, the regulation proposed looks to correct for decades of (self) under-reported emissions. They’re being asked to play fairly. But listen, if you can show where those regulations are “poorly designed” I’ll most certainly read it if it comes from a neutral 3rd party who isn’t paid by the NG companies or their lobbying proxies. Like I said above, the climate town video actually does a great job explaining - certainly better than I have. So there - is it that you won’t respond or that you can’t?

In all seriousness - can we crowd fund this purchase and make it immediately public?

Vastly overestimate? You mean against their self-reported and self-serving emissions monitoring numbers? What a crock. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2oL4SFwkkw has a very well researched (and entertaining for this sort of topic) video. You show us all this “legitimate proof” of actual real-world emissions and we’ll see who funded it and when. Oh, and it better be current because we have satellite emissions tracking of the entire world which show JUST how full of shit industry numbers have been. Methane is 80x worse as a greeenhouse case than carbon dioxide. We’re leaking it globally at MASSIVE rates. We should be making it so expensive to have emissions that every petro company on the planet seals those leaks. At least when it’s burnt it’s mostly CO or CO2 and H20 emissions.

Go ahead - let’s see who is defining the “real-world data” estimates, who funds that research, and maybe then I’ll consider believing the “softening” paragraph at the end that this is somehow just a thoughtless over-reach because the current administration couldn’t afford to wait. This isn;'t government overreach, this is a planet dying from greenhouse effects and in the midst of the anthropocene extinction (i.e. human activity killing species all over). If we don’t curtail the petro industry, then WE. ARE. FUCKED.

Can you not read? It makes him the ghay.

The salt-water of life!

Even among my red-state god-fearing right-wing family members, I have never heard a single man say anything approaching this. They all know exactly what he is and don’t care. He has a very public and lengthy history of the opposite, and the NYT knows it.

Huge swaths of companies have ditched VMWare entirely due to their enshitification. Anyone still licesning already has a plan to transion away. I’ve only heard of extreme corner cases staying because whatever it was supporting was end of life anyway. Fuck em.

Sorry to say, but this one goes well beyond the current fuckery of the existing Stock Market.

This is the biggest money laundering scheme ever run in public view. The only thing propping up any price for Truth SOcial are those with a vested interest in paying off The Donald and putting the GOP in power; Saudia Arabia and Russia - with just a splash of China. Follow the money.

SLAMMED!

You’re not wrong, but there’s no incentive for the people operating in the current system to change that system.
