  1. Most people can't afford an EV because politicians won't subsidise them. It all comes down to politicians.
  2. Yes, inevitably cold climates get greener as they become warmer. Simple logic escapes climate change deniers.
  3. Here's a better peace plan... This month, the Turkish government, which mediated peace talks between Kyiv and Moscow last year, abruptly halted the transit of sanctioned goods to Russia, after having received several warnings from the European Union and the United States about these products helping Russia's war effort in Ukraine. This week, Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orbán announced his country will reassess its relationship with Russia. Since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine last February and the following sanctions imposed by the EU, Orbán has kept an ambivalent stance towards Moscow. https://www.newsweek.com/putin-dealt-double-blow-two-closest-allies-turn-him-1786947
  4. Just 47% of Iowa Republicans say they would “definitely” vote for Trump if he is the GOP’s 2024 nominee, down from 69% in June 2021. The percentage who said they would “probably not” vote for Trump, “definitely not” vote for Trump, or sit out the presidential vote altogether if he was the Republican standard-bearer increased to 12% from 5% in June 2021. https://nypost.com/2023/03/10/new-iowa-poll-shows-trumps-gop-support-dwindling/
  5. Personally driving an EV will do nothing much more than give you a warm, fuzzy feeling. What wiill benefit the planet most is to vote for leaders who will not pocket the fossil fuel bribes and deny there's a problem.
  6. Elon Musk tweets support for QAnon Shaman Jacob Chansley Capitol Police and Republican and Democratic lawmakers say Carlson has used the footage to misrepresent that day’s violence. Carlson, who showed security video of Trump loyalists walking among law enforcement officers inside the Capitol, falsely said Chansley was escorted about the building by cops who served as “tour guides.” Politifact gave the claim cops “helped” people who raided the Capitol its unadulterated “Pants on Fire” rating. https://nordot.app/1007125584850370560?c=592622757532812385
  7. The first item for construction will be th shooting range. The town square will feature monuments of every confederate general.
  8. The statues were mostly erected during the Jim Crow era, many years after the civil war. They are nothing but monuments to slavery and traitors who fought against their country's unity.
  9. After spending years talking about locking up political opponents, thereby normalizing the idea of high-profile lawmakers serving time in prison, Donald trump could be on the brink of being the first former American president to end up behind bars. https://www.rawstory.com/trump-manhattan-indictment-2659571545/?cx_testId=6&cx_testVariant=cx_undefined&cx_artPos=1&cx_experienceId=EXC93HV4HK4I#cxrecs_s
  10. Court orders defendants in Charlottesville neo-Nazi lawsuit to pay nearly $5 million for legal costs https://www.jta.org/2023/03/09/politics/court-orders-defendants-in-charlottesville-neo-nazi-lawsuit-to-pay-nearly-5-million-for-legal-costs
  11. Climatologists have never claimed that climate change would be uniform.
  12. It's been that way for many years. Unless he / she can prove a relationship which he can't because he just went their then she has to prove she is not being coerced or trafficked. Her statement to that effect is insufficient. First time travel overseas is particularly difficult, especially if she is young.
  13. Espionage with which Flynn was complicit is still a possible charge as well. Remember the meeting in Trump tower and the meeting with Lavrov without any US staff present.
  14. Unfortunately, the conservatives know they can't win a fair election with their nutcase ideology and abject lack of policies. Even rigged elections are sliding out of their grasp so talk of civil war is increasing.
  15. If a thousand glaciers are retreating and one is advancing are glaciers retreating or advancing?
  16. They need to accept science and established medical practice or be risk being labelled as ignorant. Ignorants questioning experts is a loser. Humanity has advanced through building on science not in spite of it.
  17. You're just being pedantic for the sake of it and point scoring. My point was made and remains valid.
  18. It's past time to start calling out these conspiracy theory whack jobs for what they are.
  19. Biden got a record number of votes and won by some 8 million.
  20. You clearly don't believe Chansley should have been convicted so why was he?
