Re: AOC Rules!
Know why pipeline leaks are news? They are rare overall, just like airplane crashes. Try again.

Re: AOC Rules!
Off-topic message to Rube: yeah, that was a terrible call. I never complain about officiating when my team loses, so I'll do it for you. I thought at first the play was just being blown dead for offsides or a hand pass or something. Odd to see such a weak call in OT.
Now back to your regularly scheduled thread.

So rare. Rare as hell.

Sounds like the companies who own these things are maintaining them well. Part of "clean up" is also paying to dig it up and replace it if necessary. We have to do that with roads and bridges. Why aren't these things done the same way? I'll tell you why. Digging them up and replacing them costs profits for the oil and gas industry. Easier just to leave the **** in the ground and keep using it.
When profit and the environment clash in the US. Profit wins. When profit and engineering/science clash. Profit wins.
Now let's not pretend anymore that there isn't a mess to clean up.

Re: AOC Rules!
Oh, so I'm not informed then. Okay, ban me like flaggy then if I'm Infowars level. Get it done.
Oh, and by the way. The biggest reason the mining company is having such a hard time getting a mine approved near the Boundary Waters is because NO ONE BELIEVES THEM when they say they'll be there to clean up the mess and that they can clean up the mess.
I wonder why.

Nope. Don't need another nail. Just an actual EPA that is supported and is able to do it's job.

Re: AOC Rules!
Cory Booker on MSNBC Hardball being interviewed. They're talking about large corporations. He referenced a polluted river in Newark that is polluted because the corporations that used that river left it that way and he's tired of that happening. Called it corporate socialism.
Sounds a ton like what I've been trying to argue in here. He wins the nomination, I have no problem voting for him. That statement was the closest any of the candidates have come to speaking to me.

The problem is the 1% have been using socialism forever to their advantage. It's another case where people are too stupid to understand what the word means.

You mean like all the farmers in Nebraska who will have both hands out for help but think everyone else needs bootstraps?

Re: AOC Rules!
While I def agree, I'd say our goal is actually to make it go away. Its an irrelevant pipedream in today's US which only serves to rile up the right and scare the nervous center - and advancing it with lipstick won't help.

Sure. Make it go away.
Bye Bye, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Can probably add public schools too. Devos will be on board.

We don't need to discard individual policies that have socialist aspects. But true socialism in the US does not exist. Talking about it in a campaign season just frightens the easily frightened and bolsters the GOP.
