High on Hypocrisy

Wonder what 10% of fentanyl sales is.

FACTS!! Too bad liberals are too Stupid to understand FACTS but listen to the feelings of the day they are told to believe by idiotic hypocritical morons flying in private jets, want poor people to buy electric cars, and give other countries a pass like China and India, only the most idiotic moronic, self-hating unpatriotic piece of scum would believe this total nonsense, but yet here we are!!

I agree with Jangler....that is what I love about you, thenukeman123....your passion (and honesty)!

I don’t think anyone is a fan of China at the moment. India? Yeah, sure. Though their observation of their nationalism is a bit concerning to liberals. But there is definitely an interest in their culture and films right now that they are dominating the Chinese in film making.

As for electric cars, there will be zero automobile manufacturers not making electric cars in thirteen years.

Near as I can tell, most automobile manufacturers are conservative.

Seems to me gas going out isn’t merely just a liberal stature. Sure, you can argue that liberals pressured manufacturers to do this but it’s also stupid to see the rise of a new business venture and ignore it.

It would be like if Motorola and Samsung just ignored the impact iPhones made to the phone industry and kept making flip phones. And sure, there are many people who still prefer flip phones over touchscreen smartphones even now… but those people are aging out of the market.

So will fossil fuel. One way or another.

Wow, chase that rabbit.

Fact, India has triple the people the USA has but does not have to comply to any Climate nonsense. Hope this explains this better Gumshoe, I am certain if you research this you will come to the same conclusion I have. Any other questions put them here.

Oddly enough China used Nancy's recent visit to Taiwan to end any climate talks with the U.S., so there's that too. Another hugely populated polluter that won't play any climate games with Joe and John Kerry.

Wait, so the rest of the world is melting the ice caps? The US produces the cleanest energy in the world. Why haven't ocean levels risen? Al Gore predicted some stupid shit 20 years ago, and it was a convenient money maker for Al Gore and his mansion in Tennessee. A mansion which is all lit up all night so you can see it, peasant.

Maruti Suzuki, India’s largest automobile manufacturing company will roll out its first electric vehicle (EV) by 2025, Hisashi Takeuchi, MD & CEO, Maruti Suzuki India, said, adding the company has been testing 50 electric Wagon R units in India.

I’m not sure what their population has to do with it but to remain competitive, the worldwide economic climate change taxes will have a serious impact on the rest of the world even those who aren’t hip to the Paris accords.

While this change may be alarming; it’s not exactly the end of the world; nor does it have to specifically impact oil and gas industry significantly as these will remain active to at least fuel the phasing out of older gas-only vehicles and the eventually waning hybrids. As well as be converted into electric power stations that convert gas to electric. Which theoretically the energy can be safer to transfer in from fuel to electric than crude oil to fuel; negating the need for pipelines and such.

Where does the power to charge all those electric vehicles come from? Fossil fuels? Oh yeah. Where’s all the lithium for that many batteries come from? This is ridiculous rhetoric that is not even close to being realizable for the masses.

Fossil fuels are a misnomer. Planet Earth produces oil, like it produces gold, diamond, nickel, coal, nature gas...it has nothing to do with decomposed dinosaurs.

True, I stand corrected

Lithium isn’t transported through pipelines tho. Not to mention it is recyclable and reusable unlike crude oil and the fuel made from it.

It isn’t rhetoric, it’s a fact that fossil fuel cars are going to be phased out. I fail to see how you can conclude it’s ridiculous other than an abysmal attempt to deflect the reality of the situation.

I’m not even dismissing your opinions or feelings; but that doesn’t change that it’s inevitable.

It is not achievable in the near future without collapsing society. Ignoring that electricity generation is insufficient without fossil fuels is ridiculous.

Never said fossil fuels are going anywhere. Just cars run on them.

Gas stations are still going to be pumping more gas than charging cars for the next ten to fifteen years at least. But eventually the cost will out weigh the demand, and these will eventually cease being profitable.

Fuel will still be used to power electric stations, and indeed most electricity will be made from fossil fuel for at least two decades or more. But eventually, even these will phase out as well for the same reason. It eventually won’t be cost effective.

It’s not only achievable; but being done right now.

It’s is not being done right now by the people who are struggling to absorb higher prices thanks to inflation. It’s being done by elitist with disposable income. Wait a couple years those batteries will need replacement. The cost will shock them. Transition will never happen until they use nuclear or more hydro power generation. To say nothing of how much lithium would be needed just to replace all of Californias cars. They aren’t even mining enough.

Well, as I said, you still got a few decades with your gas powered vehicles; but it is unlikely you’ll be able to keep purchasing them after 2040. So, take care of your gas run vehicles now if you’re so fond of them.

But I cannot say they will remain as cheap and affordable as history has shown for older vehicles.

If it is cost you’re concerned about, again, to go back to the phone analogy; there were lots of problems with modern phones and their high cost when they initially came out too. But society didn’t collapse. It just adjusted, and so did the market, and so did consumers.

Now are we headed to a total economic collapse? Sure! But it won’t be a singular entity be it Presidents, electric cars, or corporations. True, all might be involved.

But what can be done about it?

Tax corporations that seek new and expanding markets? Well, that’s not very consistent with free markets.

Stop evil elitists from influencing the market with their climate taxes that are causing corporations to make what I presume you’d call tyrannical changes?

Sure! But again, if enough people want these so-called elitist changes and the market refuses to change for it; then it again is not consistent with the free market.

To me, people who want to clutch at their fuel cars are no different than people who want to keep their landlines, their 56k internet, their video cassettes, their six pieces, and musket guns.

At some point, while the market will continue to provide for these people as the economic translation naturally occurs… these things phase out.

You could always go Amish if this upsets you so greatly. But you’d still have to give up your gas cars eventually.

I believe you’re the same individual who also claimed that we could extradite unwanted children before 12 weeks and incubate them through technology - essentially abortion where the baby survives - and said the technology exists and happens now with animals; completely ignoring the legal ramifications as well as the scientific fact that zero human infants delivered before 20 weeks have survived.

What is ludicrous is you now saying that technology or resources doesn’t exist for electric vehicles but would laud these alternative birthing methods but not alternative energy.

You may think your defiance of facts boosts your enthusiasm for things to stay or go back to way things were to others but it only makes me and others pity you more.

Progress is part of life. This has nothing to do with progress it has to do with stupidity. You don’t remove something without a viable alternative. Only a fool plans for that.

The technology does not exist yet. We all want to live in the star trek universe, but forcing tech evolution will kill us all.

No, just some of us. Especially those who refuse to adapt,

"Near as I can tell, most automobile manufacturers are conservative."

No, they're greedy capitalists, which is an attribute that can be assigned to conservatives AND liberals. Automobile manufacturers along with any other large industry will kiss the ass of whatever fashionable political theory that will make them money. Hard stop.

I agree but it must happen naturally and God willingly(literally).

Charlie is spot on... that's why the left had to label him a nazi...

Monkeypox drives me bananas!

They don't see it worth their time to be concerned with those who may die from Fentanyl. Those who are most vulnerable to Monkeypox, though, yeah, they'll mostly be around to vote. Gotta keep that voter base convinced that you care, really, really care. lol

COVID deaths since 2020: 1.03M

If Charlie is trying to make a point that we shound treat addiction like a medical crisis rather than a criminal one, then I'm totally on-board. But, something tells me he doesn't give a f**k about drug addiction and how to solve it. He's just feigning concern to make a point bout democrats. And conservatives wonder where the term REACTIONARY comes from. Lol.

Do you think Charlie doesn't know about the government's response to drug overdose deaths or do you think he's deliberately phrasing this so it seems like the government isn't doing anything at all?

I mean, I think it's option 2.

What exactly is the administrations response to fentanyl deaths?

Gosh. If only you were connected to a vast network of information where you could use software driven search engines to look for information like "government response to fentanyl overdose" or "US government drug overdose programs" and other things just that easy.

But I know you won't do that because your feelings are more important than facts.

You mean like the ones that show massive increases in fentanyl overdoses? So instead of reducing deaths this administrations policies have skyrocketed them. Maybe they aren’t doing the right things. That’s why you can’t name anything but the numbers don’t lie refardless.

Bluessol, take a moment to consider this: who is reporting those numbers?

Seriously, how do you think that information is tracked and reported?

It's the government. The very people you want to believe are doing nothing.

They're the ones telling you there's a problem- the specific nature of the problem.

It's a 15 second search to find the plan to combat this on the HHS and CDC websites (the same people telling you there's a problem).

And what policies are driving these numbers up?

Unemployement is down. Jobs are up. The economic indicators are looking good, unemployment often drives high drug usage.

Whistle Democratic policies are driving the numbers up not down. This is not just an Epidemic mix of death on the inner city. Ancillary factors do not substitute for direct interdiction to a problem. We aren’t talking about pot smokers we are talking death. Drug abuse is one thing, drug overdose death is another. Open borders soft on crime policies have skyrocketed the numbers. The most important areas are ignored. Handing out free pipes doesn’t reduce catastrophic drug usage either.

Charlie Kirk is a moron, so there's that

And yet still smarter than the person you voted for president 😂
