Look, I hate Michael Flynn and the president, but maybe that is not what we should worry about right now.

You hate justice and a good economy? Huh, who would have thought.

I do not hate justice and a good economy. First, there is no justice for people who actually should go to jail, like Trump's, er, "little helpers"? Second, you say it like Trump is the sole reason that the economy was good before the pandemic. Reality? Trump had absolutely nothing to do with a good economy, slapping tariffs on products, causing other countries to retaliate with their own tariffs.

Trump believes that tariffs is money that other countries pay us, but that is not true. Tariffs are taxes that Americans pay, including him if he ever payed his taxes. Want to know the real masterminds behind the economy? Hardworking businessmen, employees, and taxpayers.

Trumps helpers were framed in most cases and in the cases where there were actual legal issues, the punishments were ludicrously overwhelming (see Roger Stone).
If a court doesn't find them guilty then they probably aren't guilty.

Trump reduced regulations that were making profitable business more and more difficult to do. The tariffs also leveled the playing field so that the prices of incoming goods to the US were at the same price (or closer) to US produced goods, which means more people bought US goods and the money stayed in the US and circulated in the economy. He made deals with a lot of big companies to come (back) to the US and build businesses here.

You see, Trump may have reduced regulations for profitable businesses, but you want to know what those regulations were? Environmental ones. Trump reduced regulations for businesses so that it would make him look good, even if it cost the environment.

Further, Trump also put climate-change denier Scott Pruitt as head of the EPA. This allowed him to reduce even more regulations. Finally, Trump left the Paris Agreement. This was an agreement that stated that countries would set their own terms for helping the environment.

What I will say is that I really appreciate you not going to "YOU SUCK JOE BIDEN'S BALLS" or whatever.

lol no. The Paris climate agreement was a bad deal even if you are a true believer. It only lowered the temperature by like 4 degrees over the course of 100 years. Without China signing on it was worthless, except for deindustrializing the US with regulations.

Most of the regulations were unneeded and didn't do anything to prevent pollution of the environment. In fact all they did was shut down all of our clean burning coal plants.

"Clean burning coal plants" huh? " Clean coal refers to a process called coal pollution mitigation. It is the act of taking the carbon emissions of coal and storing them underground. However, this has only shown limited results and is expensive to construct. It is best to use other energy sources like solar power.

Funny thing is that getting rid of coal would actually create more jobs. Where, you might ask? In the industries that create alternate sources of energy. It would pose as less of a health risk than coal mining and help the environment. But Trump wants to keep coal. I honestly do not know why. He does have a supposedly liking for the coal company run by Bob Murray, who has sexual assault allegations against him and constantly uses SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation) lawsuits to silence criticism. Not even Trump has both of those characteristics, he only has one.

Further, you do realize that the Paris Agreement was optional right? Each country gets to set up their OWN regulations to help reduce carbon emissions, so Trump most certainly had a say as to what the regulations would be. Also, you do not even have to meet the requirements by the summit held each year. There is no backlash against the country or its leader.

You don't seem to understand. Solar costs more energy to produce than you get back, so solar is also coal and oil.

It doesn't matter about the Paris agreement because the result of it was calculated as a 4 degree change over 100 years. It was worthless even from a climate change perspective.

I run on solar power in my house, so I know that it is decently cheaper to buy than gas and oil. And you are right. The Paris agreement was worthless because it did not have more restrictions on it.

Gotta go, replying to more! :)

Houses that run on solar power have a better chance of lasting because it's less likely the solar pannels will catch no fire. Solar pannels are relatively cheap. You have to live with your house not covered in trees for it to work, however. Oil can catch on fire and potentially burn houses down.

Good talk.

Sure, but those panels still cost you more than the energy you will get out of them in their lifetime, which means you are still depending on coal and oil to produce your solar panels.
