Re: Texas: all hat no cattle?
For those who don't support greener energy tech, would you be okay with fracking operations under your source of drinking water? A coal ash slurry pit held back by an earthen damn above your neighborhood? Oil and gas refineries and drilling rigs on your waterways? I'm not denying that fossil fuels ...

The infrastructure failures in Texas are quite literally what happens when you *don’t* pursue a Green New Deal.

Re: CNN fact checks Biden
CNN at least fact checking Biden. We're still looking into some of the claims Biden made, so this article is not comprehensive. But we can tell you now that he made at least four false claims -- all of them involving statistics -- about the minimum wage, undocumented immigrants, China's economy and...

Re: $15 minimum wage
Per an article I read somewhere: CBO says it would lift 800K people out of poverty, but at the cost of 1.4 million jobs. Didn't specify whether the 800K figure was net of the job losses, or if the 1.4 million jobs lost would plunge some large number of people into poverty that would have to be subt...

$15 minimum wage
Anyone have any data of what the long term effects of a $15 minimum wage increase - double from where we are now. My total guess is it would act as a form of inflation on old (401K) money Prices would go up to offset the dominion effect of the minimum wage increase. Current retirees would have less ...

Re: The American Flag
Is not comradery and patriotism the main reason for any playing of our National Anthem? It's what causes some to become a little emotional when it's played. If we are so divided as a nation at this time, and we have little love and appreciation for our country, maybe we do need to scrap it. I wonde...

Re: The American Flag
[ At the time, World War I was nearing an end. Singing The Star-Spangled Banner that day was a well-timed display of comradery and patriotism. Harry Frazee, then owner of the Red Sox, subsequently began each other game of the series by having the band play the song. Is not comradery and patriotism ...
