  1. Well, I used google to do a search of Maga rallies. Not exactly a majority carrying American flags or even wearing American flag imagery. Your conclusion remains nonsensical.
  2. It's not the world that has to return to normal but ratherthe CCP. before Chinese tourists return. Unfortunately, this is the new normal for the CCP. Looks like it's going to be a very long wait as long as that zero covid policy is in effect.
  3. Well, if you want to go that ludicrous route, you should have noted that there was no Confederate flag in sight.
  4. Thanks for your convincing and well thought out reply.
  5. Whoever it was I replied to asserted that the gas policy was due to the Greens. I pointed out that this was not so. Your argument that it turned into something done for private gain only reinforces my point.
  6. This isn't physics or chemistry. The result of Ukraine's attack on Russian ships isn't preordained. If it turns out that the end result is no more shipments of grain from Ukraine, the fault is Russia's.
  7. No, they didn't realize that. But only for the negligible reason that Russian warships don't accompany Ukrainian vessels carrying grain: "Under the agreement, Ukrainian naval vessels will escort the ships carrying the grain. Russia will not attack the warships, or any port infrastructure. Turkey and the UN will inspect the cargo ships to make sure they are not being used as a front to smuggle anything else, such as weapons." https://carnegieendowment.org/politika/87576
  8. I still don't see what that has to do with the fact that if China's zero-covid policies continue, the return of Chinese tourists to Thailand could be years or decades away.
  9. Well, each round of gallium-aluminium generates only 0.54% of its weight in hydrogen. Then it has to be recycled to be used again. That takes energy. So it could be less efficient than electrolysis based production of hydrogen.
  10. I don't see what your remark has to do with my comment:
  11. Given that Xi's policy seems to be that foreign travel will resume only after Covid is eradicated in China, that could be decades away,
  12. You only asked a question based on no evidence at all? So transparent. It is to laugh.
  13. Can you point to where in the report it identifies these people as amateur experimentalists? Stop making things up.
  14. Currently, 20 states have EV registration fees, ranging from $50 to $200. In states that have higher gas taxes, the $73 national average may not be the appropriate point of comparison. For example, California has an EV fee of $100, but its gas tax system means that EV drivers are not in fact paying more than comparable conventional vehicle drivers. Still, the $200 annual fee in Georgia and West Virginia is far above the annual gas tax paid by the driver of a new conventional vehicle. https://pluginamerica.org/policy/ev-road-usage-fees/#:~:text=EVs do pay taxes that,and higher municipal excise taxes.
  15. But your explanation was false and I pointed out why. You offered no counter-analysis.
  16. Can you share with me what political office Nancy Pelosi's daughter holds? I promise that I will never vote for her. And the same goes for Paul Pelosi. Those 2 should be run out of office.
  17. Hmmm....it seems that there is one extremely prominent Republican who hasn't condemned the attack. Can't think of that person's name at the moment. You got any idea who that might be?
  18. Or maybe he watched the Superbowl. Jim Lamon, the Republican candidate for Senate who came in second in the primary with 28% of the vote, actually had a Superbowl ad which showed him shooting Biden, Pelosi, and Senator Mark Kelly lookalikes. Especially vile in Kelly's case since his wife was actually shot in the head by a mass murderer. https://sports.yahoo.com/gop-sen-candidate-shoots-biden-095807465.html 28% of Arizona Republicans voting in the primary actually chose this guy!
  19. And yet when challenged, you offer no reasoned defense of your statement. Anyway, I guess this is your way of conceding.
  20. You mean not 100% of their choices were correct? Shocking!
  21. You just can't admit that Gweiloman's choice was a profitable one.. And I conceded nothing to you. Only that even if I were to accept your understanding of the situation, Gweiloman's choice makes financial sense.
  22. Nonsense. Germany began importing Russian gas in 1970, before climate change was even an issue. The motivation was the belief that commerce would lead to peaceful relations between the West and Russia. Actually, it wasn't Russia but the Soviet Union. Have you already forgotten the cold war. The German phrase used to justify this commerce was Wandel durch Handel. Peace through trade
  23. There should be nothing difficult in understanding that something is probably a possibility is not the same thing as something is probable. In fact, it's self evident and shouldn't need explaining at all.
  24. fortunately at least on one side there aren't a whole lot of loons alleging Republicans arranged some kind of conspiracy when they were attacked. . And, Obama did reach out and express his sympathy for the assault on Republican in the shooting incident. I don't think he deserves any special commendation for this. It's just what any halfway decent person prominent in the political world would do..
