How is a scheme systemically racist when >50% of 13M green card holders are from Latin/South America and Caribbean? You can't be serious.

Yeah...I know you want to gripe, but you'll have to be more convincing.

LOL! How do you reconcile arguing it isn't "alarmism" and acknowledging the claims are "absurd"? You're definitely trying to have it both ways on the issue of whether people have been guilty of promoting alarmi

You really should revisit the absurd claims Gore was promoting that didn't age well like the north pole melting in 5 years (2014). IMHO, the toxic chemicals comparison doesn't work. For climate change, you have alternatives to rai

Hiring 2-6% of applicants? That sounds high, not to be dreary, but given how easy it is to spam and roles having thousands of applicants. There's about 10M in US tech jobs and the forecast for net job adds is +2% in 2026 so the number

Damn. You get a complimentary track day, but Toyota said going 114 MPH is abuse. Both cars were just serviced. Adding insult, one guy had his comprehensive insurance coverage lapse right before!

What is your understanding of the Act and its limitations [0]? Here's a legal view that explains it further [1]. Basically, they can deny warranty service if you make modifications, and they can tie it to a failure. You can add 100s of

If you start tuning, then make sure you turn it off before bringing your car to the dealership. It'll void any warranty.

Yes, they don't realize it or lie to themselves because ~50% dropout. Given the attrition, I really question if PhD programs are honest with incoming prospects. Law schools and business schools are similarly "guilty" of pimpi

He appears to be tunnel-visioning on academia. The vast majority (>75%) of Computer Science PhDs leave academia. [0] Becoming a "world expert in a specific topic" is overfitting skills for a sub-niche of a specific career. Ther

I suggest revisiting the definition [0]. IMHO, your understanding is at odds and I suspect you're intending to say people will replace with energy from elsewhere (which still qualifies as demand destruction). [0] https://en.w

Disagree. I assume your understanding of "demand destruction" is mixing concepts. GP said switching to alternative sources isn't demand destruction when it IS technically and relatively. The parent's point: until you get

Not really a big deal. The numbers are cumulative. The Reliance Brownsville Texas facility will only process 60 million barrels per year. That's 1% of annual US refining capacity. > It's interesting to both see Asian majors an
