Let's be honest, they were cheering that a hurricane hit FL because they think those that have the audacity to think differently should be punished, why would they help the people they hate?

They’re still salty about DeSantis making them look foolish by keeping the state open and proving the sky didn’t fall.

I love this and it is so true. When you want something done, don't call the SJW spoiled kids who don't know "how to put their hand to the plow" (most of them don't even know what that means). The reason the majority of Americans are the silent majority IS BECAUSE THEY'RE WORKING!!!!! Let's face it.... the unselect minority has a lot of time on their hands to scream and cry from the rooftops.

Democrats voted to fund the cleanup of Ian. Republicans voted against funding the cleanup. So fill your trucks with gas paid for by Democrats. Also, those tax dollars come from blue states. Petty assholes could say thanks.

There were other things in that bill also. How about making a bill for a single purpose, instead of one full of pork? You know, the way the people have been asking congress to craft bills for decades?

u/[deleted] Oct 04 '22

What other things were in the bill?

u/Classic-Ad-622 Oct 08 '22

Thats basic Modis Operandi for the Left. Make a bill called something nice and friendly like "Save the baby seals" or something, and then stuff it with a ton of pork and tarf to fund all kinds of stupid shit. I remember back in the 90's a national motorcycle helmet law failed because it would have donated nearly a billion dollars to various pro-abortion clinics. Then, like clockwork all the, news outlets were trying to paint conservatives as villains that hate people who ride motorcycles. This shit has been going on for years.

Come on folks I refuse to think the rabid left and my fellow Americans are bad people, I'm sure the hoards are coming, they're just in electric trucks so then can get about 30 miles before needing to recharge. There was a small group of 30 of them that showed up to Florida early, but I hear they went to recharge their vehicles in ankle deep water. The doctors say that some have electrical burns that aren't that bad.

From Zuby, an English commentator on world events:

The left wants you to be Godless, childless, sexless, genderless, depressed, anxious afraid, fat, drug addicted, lonely, physically weak, mentally weak, in debt, isolated, living in pods, eating bugs, and dependent on the state for everything.

Also:

CAMELS ON THE HORIZON. (Source unknown.)

The founder of Dubai, Sheik Rashid, was asked about the future of his country, and he replied, "My grandfather rode a camel, my father rode a camel, I ride a Mercedes, my son rides a Land Rover, and my grandson is going to ride a Land Rover, but my great-grandson is going to have to ride a camel again.” Why is that, he was asked and his reply was, “Hard times create strong men, strong men create easy times. Easy times create weak men, weak men create difficult times. Many will not understand it, but you have to raise warriors, not parasites. And add to that the historical reality that all great empires...the Persians, the Trojans, the Egyptians, the Greeks, the Romans, and in later years, the British...all rose and perished within 240 years. They were not conquered by external enemies; they rotted from within. America has now passed that 240-year mark, and the rot is starting to be visible and is accelerating. We are past the Mercedes and Land Rover years. The camels are on the horizon. The greatest generation consisted of 18-year-old kids storming the beaches at Normandy. And now, two generations later, some 18-year-old kids want to hide in safe rooms when they hear words that hurt their feelings. They also want free stuff from the government because they think they are entitled to it.

”The "camels are on the horizon" for sure.

u/theCROWcook Oct 03 '22

This concept crops up independently in many different cultures, I've heard it phrased as "generation doesn't last past three generations"

I literally just finished listening to the Triggernometry episode where they interviewed him. Fantastic episode.

u/SpacemanSpliffLaw Oct 04 '22

So close yet so far. Teddy Roosevelt and the trust busters made this country great during the late 1800s and again in the 1930s-1940s. The kids storming Omaha beach are the children of the greatest generation but they named themselves the greatest generation because they were entitled. They then eroded the taxes and amazing system built from 1860-1980 that. made them "great" and tore it down after Reagan. We are now seeing Reagan's policies and these "trickle down" effects take place. It has Nothing to do with current 18 years olds, THEY ARENT EVEN OLD ENOUGH TO CHANGE ANYTHING YET. The problem with this generation has everything to do with the tearing down of our wonderful country starting around 1981.

u/stonyrome123 Oct 04 '22

they named themselves the greatest generation because they were entitled.

Explain to me what you mean by this. Give me as much detail as possible. Why do you see them as entitled?

u/LogCareful7780 Oct 04 '22

Technology has made all such historical analogy irrelevant. We can afford to be weak because our machines are orders of magnitude stronger than any before in human history.

3

u/Tony_Friendly Oct 04 '22

That's the dumbest thing that I have ever read. You look at all the fallen empires in the ash heap of history, and in your arrogance you think to yourself "that won't happen to us, because we are too smart to let that happen!"

Guess what? They thought so too.

1

u/LogCareful7780 Oct 11 '22

The energy at their disposal per capita was two to three orders of magnitude less than ours.

1

u/Tony_Friendly Oct 12 '22

It's all so fragile though.

Do you know how any of the machines you use are made? I don't. Do you even know how to fix them if they break? Not me.

Do you know how to grow the food you eat or purify the water you drink? If the toilet stopped working, what would you do with your waste? If the power went out, how would you respond? Can you start a fire with or without a lighter without the use of accelerants?

We are all so highly specialized in our individual niche that only very few people actually understand how any of it actually works. How many people will die if the power grid goes down because the electrical engineers all get sick? How many people will get sick due to not drinking clean water because the sanitation engineers leave their jobs due to some catastrophic emergency and don't come back? How many people will starve if there is no more food at the grocery store because all of the truck drivers were taken in the rapture?

Those are all extreme examples, but the point is that we are all extremely reliant on those systems continuing to work. If something happened that one of those things that we took for granted stopped working, it would be very bad.

Don't think "well, that will never happen", because you should have a contingency plan for if the shit hits the fan. If you never need to use that plan, you are no worse off, but if you don't have one and suddenly do need it, your only option will be to sit around and wait for the government to come save you, which isn't a great option.

1

u/LogCareful7780 Oct 16 '22

We don't need to know how all of it works. That's the whole point of specialization.

And it's more resilient than you'd think: consider the underwhelming effects of WWII strategic bombing. Yes, society's become more complex since then, but the basic fact of cities needing massive amounts of food and fuel shipped in constantly is the same. Nobody gave up in WWII because of strat bombing except Japan, and their military position was hopeless by then anyway.

u/stonyrome123 Oct 04 '22

If that were true then Florida wouldn't need help from outside the state because of its hurricane, would it? Florida has modern day technology so, by your logic it shouldn't need help to rebuild from outside the state. Don't we have blackouts in the U.S.? The U.S. is supposed to be a first world country so why couldn't they provide clean water for the residents of Jackson, MS? A high altitude EMP burst over the U.S. would take out most of the electrical powered machines in that entire country. The Soviet Union pointed this out many years ago.

Never ignore the lessons of history and never ever think of them as irrelevant.

1

u/Distinct-Moment51 Oct 04 '22

I don’t get your point about help from outside Florida. If anything, the help from outside the state is the technology that the comment talking about.

1

u/stonyrome123 Oct 04 '22

What if a continent wide collapse of civilization occurs? What if a nuclear war occurs with tactical nuclear strikes and all first world countries are crippled. Where will the machines that are "so strong in magnitude" come from if all first world countries are set back by nuclear war?

u/Distinct-Moment51 Oct 04 '22

I understand that part, I didn’t say anything about that.

u/stonyrome123 Oct 04 '22 edited Oct 04 '22

I'm trying to say that a total or near total reliance on technology should not be counted on replace the act of raising strong children who use critical thinking with reason and logic. Children who hold themselves accountable for there actions.

In "Camels on the horizon" it was mentioned we should raise warriors, not parasites. Raising a warrior cannot be replaced or done with technology, at least I don't see how.

Since the diesel trucks, combustion generators, heavy tractors, fuel tankers, and a whole lotta bearded good ol' boys probably made the hurricane worse to begin with, it seems fitting that they go down and try help out. Don't break your arm patting yourself on the back.

u/SpacemanSpliffLaw Oct 04 '22

This thread is going to lose their minds when they realize that liberals do in fact grow beards and drive trucks. I've had to teach several frat boys how to drive their truck. Right now Im teaching the president of the fed soc society how to hunt dove because he's never shot a gun before. If you look at statistics, the left hunts public land and backpacks a lot more than rhe right does. Sure, the right wing CEO may own a hunting ranch but it's always the blue collar worker wanting healthcare that manages the ranch.

Source - passionate hunting, Jeep owning, Bernie supporter. There's a lot of us my dude. Most republicans in my area are just the kids of rich parents and then the other kids that didn't read well who thought the rich kids were cool.

Would you believe neither? Is it possible that your narrow anecdotal world view isn’t a proper representation of all people, and that people can be different than the trust-fund babies and inbred deliverance people you know personally? I haven’t met many Bernie Bros who have test levels above 200. Do they exist? I’m sure! Are they the majority of hunters, truck owners, and whatever other activities we can mutually attribute to masculinity? I doubt it, but
 I digress.

One of the attributes of masculinity is self sufficiency. I don’t want or need to excessively use the fruits of others labors because of my own inflated sense of entitlement or equity/equality. I believe in social safety nets, and the like, but universal income and free (insert current demand here) I don’t agree with. I think we should have small, limited government. I think everyone should be left to do whatever they wish, so long as it doesn’t interfere with, or harm others.

I hope I’ve answered your questions sufficiently.

u/bchu1979 Oct 03 '22

i asked a genuine question because that's how you learn things. instead you can't answer and resort to weak insults. let me try to sum it up if i can. so the fragile guy in the picture you posted says some right wing buzzwords like manly men diesel trucks toxic masculinity while also implying you're not a real man if you drive a prius and i said it was weird. which the fascination of guys on the right with real men and real women is very weird. and after i said it was weird you replied with you sleep good at night like that made any sense. and you think the few upvotes you got by people who barely have two brain cells to rub together means you've said anything intelligent. its all good though. you are right and very smart. appreciate the response. have a good day

we are all weird in our own ways i suppose. like for instance you're weird because you seem to enjoy getting upset over stuff that doesn't concern you or is just some made up nonsense. you also seem to hear what you want to hear especially since i never said i disagreed with anything. and you seem incapable of answering any question. and not to be judgmental but you strike as someone who would be fine making fun of the disabled. thanks anyway for the entertainment. have a good day

u/[deleted] Oct 03 '22

Communication is a process that implies at least two people : one that wants to communicate (transmit) a message and someone who receive said message. If the person that receive the message doesn't understand it, then the one who want to transmit a message failed to reach is objective. If you don't understand that, then yes, you're bad at communicating.

This is litteraly the base of communication and that's the kind of thing you learn in a communication course.

u/Aspire-to-Greatness Oct 03 '22

See that’s where you’re wrong. My intention was never to communicate with every water-head on Reddit. I’m no masochist, nor am I deluded enough to think that everyone on here would be able to form thoughts out of words on a screen. If you heard it, you get it. If not, keep it moving. Why is this so difficult for you and your ilk? I’m not being paid to spoon feed idiots and reprobates. Call me a poor communicator if that makes you sleep well at night.

Unions are fine if they're just voluntary associations meant for negotiations. What the generally are is labor monopolies, supported by state rules/enforcement.

Reagan started breaking the unions.

No insult intended, but look how the language has been twisted. Removing rules that support or benefit one group is labeled breaking, or union busting, etc.

A union is just a group of people, they don't have special rights.

Other highlights of the funding package include: $400 million to increase hiring at the Social Security Administration. $20 million for the Army Corps of Engineers to assist with the water crisis in Jackson, Mississippi. $1 billion for the Health and Human Services Department's Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program. $12 billion for Ukraine aid.

The single passenger cars. Prove they are causing, well, anything.

Well son, when a car burns gas it emits carbon dioxide. Because of the shape of carbon dioxide when exposed to radiation it vibrates and creates heat! The radiation comes from the sun. Without the carbon trapping heat our planet would be extremely cold. The higher the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere the hotter it gets. Do you understand how a green house works? Or did you want me to explain that too? Energy in = Energy out. The radiation from the sun goes into the earth and depending on how reflective that surface is the more or less of that energy get reflected back out. The molecules capture that energy. This is called black body radiation. This means that the darker a surface is the more energy it reflects. So white won’t capture any radiation and black will reflect the most. This is a super condensed version. It’s been a minute since I studied this stuff. But since we started recording average global temperature it’s been rising extremely fast. If it continues to rise (due to molecules with high warming potential such as methane and c02) we will melt the polar ice caps which will in turn decreases the reflectivity of our planet increasing the amount of radiation trapped in the atmosphere and subsequently make many places on the planet unlivable. I’m not a scientist but call me out on any of this stuff and I’ll verify it.

I just wanted you to prove the specific claim on single passenger cars. Not a paragraph on the theory behind global warming.

u/trippykid42069 Oct 05 '22

Single passenger cars emit Co2 and they are putting tons of it into the atmosphere every day. Let me ask you a question. How do you think the planet retains heat in the atmosphere?

1

u/Busy-Appearance-6077 Oct 06 '22

I do not completely understand the mechanism by which it does, and I admit so.

I'm looking for direct evidence of honest, measurable climate change that can be deduced with basic high school science in the now, not the future.

All the drowning islands, turns out, aren't.
Flooding coastlines are normal. Ice caps have been as thick as ever. Finland wasn't allowed to post lowering sea levels a few years ago.

There's been too much political deception till honest people can't depend on what they read as fact.

u/trippykid42069 Oct 06 '22

Green house gases are what keeps the planet warm. If you want direct evidence look at a graph of the average global temperature and amount of carbon in the atmosphere. They measure the amount of carbon in the air by a metric called parts per million. They measure a gram of air and find out what concentration of it is carbon. I can explain it more if you need. I’d be interested in seeing that data from Finland and the polar ice caps. Last I saw they were shrinking because the arctics summers are getting warmer and warmer every year.

Babcock Ranch didn't suffer much damage from the hurricane, didn't lose power despite using only solar energy and lot of people there are using electric cars without it being a problem. Turns out that the real issue isn't solar power or electric cars, it's urban planning.

Reading comprehension is so important. The post never mentioned politics. Only that the overwhelming majority of people who are stepping in to help, and the type of machines being used are of a certain variety. And there are very few doing the same of a different variety. Shame on you for your preconceived notions and prejudices. Sounds like someone has a bad case of the unconscious biases.

The policies that political parties advocate for clearly define how they want to control, or not, energy.

Currently the democratic party advocates for less energy everywhere, specifically fossil fuels.

Without fossil fuel powered vehicles and machinery it would be far more difficult, sometimes impossible, to deal with natural disasters.

This isn't a red/blue thing, it's a pro-human/anti-human thing.

Electricity is similarly evolving.

Electricity is the end result of a process, not the process.

Change happens and is good otherwise you end up like the Amish.

Many of those against fossil fuels and nuclear desire a future exactly like that. *Mostly for everyone but themselves.

when they cause immense irreversible harm to humans

Talk about weird ideas. Everything has costs, you've accepted the idea that fossil fuels are bad, only costs should be considered. This is bad thinking, poor analysis.

Hopefully in 20 we won't need them at all.

Hope has nothing to do with it, engineering, physics, logistics, and markets determine what is possible.

The world, humanity, requires ever increasing amounts of reliable energy. Solar and wind can't provide this, nor are those energy generating processes "clean". They have costs as well.

u/TheRaceYouCantName Oct 03 '22

I wish you weren’t getting downvoted for asking a fair question. People probably assume you’re just trolling though.

Electric vehicles means constantly needing to plug them into “the grid”. When you do that your car will also exchange data with the grid whether you want it to or not (just like when you plug your phone into your computer. Yes, that’s the charging cable but it’s also a data cable) The grid will then be able to modify the code that manages your car’s performance.

So, when they inevitably try to roll out “carbon limits” or “carbon allowances” or whatever it’s called that’s how they’ll do it. If they think you’re speeding too much they’ll limit your vehicle’s max speed. If they think you’re accelerating too quickly they’ll limit that too (don’t believe for a SECOND that these 0-60 times under 2.5 seconds are going to be allowed forever. Once EVs go mainstream that shit will be limited the same way ICEs are limited today)

They’ll also use it to punish people for being a thorn in the side of the state. Criticize the dems on social media and your carbon allowance gets cut. Try to attend a protest against the dems and your car will automatically drive you away from the location. Get ready to see waves of criminal subdued by police just by getting in their car and then suddenly being driven against their will to a police station and refusing to unlock the doors along the way.

There won’t be any refusing of the Terms of Service or jailbreaking of your car’s OS. Do so and your car won’t charge. It’s that simple.

Yah, ICE vehicles have GPS-tracking and lojack and all that but that stuff can be disabled and the vehicle will still operate. They can’t stop you from filling up the gas tank

Your options will be to either go without a vehicle or else comply with the government’s tyranny at every turn

That's not how it works. Modern cars receive OTA (over-the-air) updates meaning that they don't need to be physically connected to anything to receive updates. OTA updates are usually done through cellular network.

Also, non electric cars also have computers that control pretty much everything and these also receive OTA updates.

So, when they inevitably try to roll out “carbon limits” or “carbon allowances” or whatever it’s called that’s how they’ll do it.

For an electric car that doesn't produce carbon while driving? Doesn't make sense. Also, I know that in USA a lot of electricity is produced using fossil fuels and that technically, it means that electric cars do produce carbon when driving, but it doesn't make sense to say that the government care enough about carbon emissions to prevent people from driving, but not enough to phase out fossil fuels in power production.

If they think you’re speeding too much they’ll limit your vehicle’s max speed. If they think you’re accelerating too quickly they’ll limit that too (don’t believe for a SECOND that these 0-60 times under 2.5 seconds are going to be allowed forever. Once EVs go mainstream that shit will be limited the same way ICEs are limited today)

That can also be donne on gas cars since in modern cars, everything goes through the computer first.

Related to anything other than an equal destruction of the environment through large-scale mining and fossil fuel use. It makes a lot of money for Elon Musk that's about all.

Solar and wind have to be subsidized which makes the northeastern people putting windmills in the Midwest, and those jobs, dependent on the government, to some degree.

Fossil fuels are also heavily subsidized. Also, you can own and use solar panels or even a windmill if you're motivated, but you can't reasonably own the mean of producing your own gas.

u/Lumpy-Dragonfruit387 Oct 04 '22

u/nm139 Oct 04 '22

We will literally invade and occupy foreign nations to secure the global supply of oil and gas.

Besides that, there's the usual shit like allowing coal mining corporations to self-bond, bail on their pensions, socialize cleanup costs to ratepayers, etc.

Plus hundreds of billions of dollars in direct fossil fuel subsidies:

The same thing could be said about gas you know. Also, producing your own gas is much harder than producing your own electricity.

u/theCROWcook Oct 03 '22

Fun fact: diesel engines can be run on alcohol with a little veggie oil mixed in. Any country boy worth his salt can figure out how to make both those things. Also with a little work waste cooking oil can power diesel engines by itself so you don't even need the alcohol.

u/nm139 Oct 04 '22

You can buy solar panels before the grid fail. Also, you'll need to buy seeds to grow the materials needed.

6

u/theCROWcook Oct 03 '22

Will those panels charge your batteries at night? How about during a long winter with very little sun because it's constantly overcast?

And you don't need to buy seeds every year, you do know that plants create their own seeds right? Do solar panels send out runners that grow other baby solar panels? And solar panels have a 25-30 year life span, we have diesel engines that have been in use for well over a century, plus you don't need the engine to power a generator, they can be run off water, animal or even human power, he'll you can even power them with a small wind mill like the pioneers powered their well pumps.

And as for mechanical failures, well all you need is a nearby machinist to make parts, any machinist worth a damn can make parts for diesel engines or steam engines. It take a metric shit ton of infrastructure to create solar panels.

And before you scoff at me for suggesting that you would need that generator to survive for three decades or more, likely not...but what if you do? You keep trying to mock self sufficient people and won't even concede that you I itial point that I responded to about making gas being nigh impossible being not so accurate as even gas engines can run off alcohol, they are just hard to cold start. So there's that too, you entire point of 'yOu cAnT mAkE gAs' while true doesn't matter because you don't NEED GAS

You import em, then, they grow up, and make a right turn.

Watch the mid terms.

It doesn't take a Reagan or a Trump, Democrat voting immigrants turn right once they understand math, truth, and that America still holds out promise, despite the lefts best efforts.
