Im glad to see they seperated out "low carbon" and "renewable".. most people shit a brick when I remind them that coal is considered renewable.

@Gina Did everything wind up working out for you with the car?

@stevesilberman

Remind me again when was the last time a democrat proposed an amendment to protect women's healthcare and their right to an abortion? As far as I know (and some quick googling) they have not even proposed one, at least not that I can find.

That would have been the correct solution, Row v Wade was never the place to decide that, law is.

Both sides like to talk but the right actually caries out their messed up stance, the left just alks and talks but refuses to solve problems because if they provided real solutions they wouldnt have a way to use fear to get themselves elected anymore.

@kmic with attitude like that your on the rivht instance at least. Sadly it might get you in trouble with most people these days despkte being words of wisdom.

Except that teachers made less than manufacuring jobs in 1975 ($4.01 per hour based on a 12.5K salary). AND just living in 1975 at all makes you far more likely to die of almost anything. So even teachers would likely have a much higher death rate than modern teachers.

im kinda curious to get a pcmcia network card just to see how my 1999 PDA handles the modern internet.... It has a total of 16 MB of memory and is running Windows CE, lol.

@admin

Their asking someone who is **attacking** a minority why.. yea im ok with that.

I'd also argue that prioviding water should be a duty of governments not private companies... A priovate company should be welcome to price gouge on water because they are providing water where there is a market, which implies filling a gap that the government should have already supplied. It is unethical the government didnt provide the water, not for the company charging for it.

@realcaseyrollins

Price gouging is illegal by anti-trust laws. You can not manipulate the supply and demand by controlling a vertical/horizontal segment of the industry.

For example if companies intentionally coordinated to increase prices artificially by all agreeing not to compete this would be illegal on any scale, even between just two companies.

Hey, COVID=19 research scientist here. I am very sorry to hear about your your grandson.

> Diagnosis: A heart defect. No sign of one when he was a kid. Strange.

Actually this is quite common. Many types of heart defects arent present or arent seen as a child but will as an adult. For example I have a type of defect that leads to a minor condition called PVC. While it is noticeable and diagnosable now doctors werent able to detect it till I was 30.

> Problem: the number of young people in this situation is not trivial and either they are covering up COVID issues or they aren't doing their research.

No one is covering up anything, though research is new and its possible we have a lot left to learn, that takes time, its not negligence. But your also making assumptions, you cant just assume every unusual event like a heart attack is COVID, it makes no sense, these sorts of things happened before COVID too.

> I’ve heard it said once that corporations behave more ethically under stable economics than in unstable economies, and it makes sense.

Yes it does but not just companies... **everyone** of every class behaves more poorly during economic turmoil (or any turmoil) than economic stability.

> Even if the leftist line was correct, it’s possible that these CEOs are storing their acorns for the winter so to speak, not inflating prices out of mere greed.

SSaving money isnt unethical, so if this were true its moot to your point. But its actually quite the opposite. Inflation encourages people **dont** hoard their money. Hoarding it would devalue too fast under inflation so people need to invest their money to secure it. Remember its important **not** to think of inflation as equivelant to unstable or bad economy, within reasonable levels it is **desired** as it encourages investment and a healthy economy. Inflation is bad when it is too high or too low. When it is too high causing hyperinflation only then can it result in instability (and yes right now its too high).

> If a financial disaster is impeding, as I suspect it is, there’s no such thing as a company having too much money.

Actually that is exactly a problem. If they have too much money (instead of spending it on assets) then their value will crash along with the money. But when they invest in assets then their assets skyrocket in face value as money devalues.

Though its important to note for reference in 1975 the work-related death rate was also 3x higher.

So you are 3x likely to die for a 40% increase in butter buying power :)

@teotwaki yes as well as a few other brands.

But it does it in a weird way I dont like. Being android you'd think you can use their android app. But it actually opens the game up in firefox and uses screen scraping to make it work with the physical board.

I didnt see google play to install it but this is early release, thye do claim to be adding a marketplace but i only saw one for engines.

@ElPamplina Cant wait to try her out

@kilroy_was_here no thats gochess though i think they may have rebranded recently

@gpowerf Thank you
