Texas & Florida Continue to Lead the Nation

And private sector social governance falls under this?

 

The word “woke” was supposed to be used to describe people who got offended about everything is now only used by people who get offended about everything.

 

it’s the new “snowflake”

 

Using the West Virginia State Treasurer as an example, it looks like he is trying to force banks and other lenders into preserving a dying industry specifically coal mining rather than investing for the future in alternative sources like renewables. Would have been like states trying to force banks against issuing loans to auto manufacturers 110 years ago in an attempt to preserve the manufacturers of horse-drawn wagons in their states.

 

You libs need to start showing respect for your next Prez. Isn't that what you tell us all the time.

 

US Bank is about to jack the W VA taxpayers

 

With the exception of AOC and her friends I don't think anyone is trying to quickly kill off the fossil fuel industry but rather to encourage increasing use of renewables with goal of gradually replace fossil fuels. Keep in Biden said that his goal was the elimination of fossil fuels by 2050 not a radical proposal calling for their elimination in the near future. That's 28 years down the road. Although I cannot see vehicles with ICE engines being totally replaced by EVs or other alternatives, it is very likely that between renewables (solar, wind), hydro, nuclear and may be even tidal, very little electricity will be generated by burning fossil fuels down the road.

 

Biden: 'We can't wait any longer' to address climate crisis

He did make vague statements promising to end reliance on fossil fuels while campaigning. He never promised to end the use of fossil fuels as soon as he took office. He said he would begin the process of ending reliance it was always a longer term goal.

As far as AOC is concerned she actually did introduce her Green New Deal as legislation in 2021 and it never even made it out of committee. When it was introduced as legislation in the Senate it didn't receive a single vote including that of Democrats although most of them in effect abstained by voting "present".

 

. You keep throwing out words like “socialist communist” while promoting state restrictions-sanctions on free enterprise. Perhaps you don’t understand capitalism. In this case, banks are entitled to assess the risk of lending In a volatile industry. Perhaps you don’t understand the risk of lending I’m an works wide industry subject to the whims of countries like Saudi Arabia, Russia etc. Perhaps you don’t don’t understand the risks of lending in an industry that the world is moving away from because of climate change and uncertainty. The US has a choice: lead that movement or be left behind. And West Virginia and Texas are fossil fuel state’s drying to preserve what is going to be a dying industry. Like Texas, this is just going to cost these state’s money.

 

The tax increases are for a 15% corporate min. tax for large corps to pay at least something, and if an individual earns more than 400K as well. The Pubs are trying to claim that most Americans will see a tax increase and that's a lie. They want to claim that those 100 corps. will automatically pass their extra tax costs along to the consumer.... not a given. Of personal note, when dear leader dropped the massive 25% tax gift on corporation, I was looking to buy a new truck. I explained to the new truck manager that my truck was now a great deal cheaper to GM, but he assured me that was not the wat it worked. I did note that top exec. in most companies received substantially larger bonuses that year courtesy American taxpayers.

Medicare will negotiate prices finally. Seniors will have a drug cost cap. This legislation and the Pub abortion debacle is going to bite the Pubs.

 

AOC is at the fringe of the Democratic Party. And the Democratic Party rejected Bernie Sanders. That is the difference between the Dems and the GOP. The GOP is embracing extremes. The party that embraces authoritarians, dictatorship, racists, etc. The party that reflects you.

 

No

 

Many would suggest maga would have more to do with the Democratic party reacting to left of center than AOC, who has little sway.
