What's surprising is that Canadians would complain about another country imposing tariffs when they themselves see tariffs as noble and enlightened. The article only supports Trump's stance and the hypocrisy of Canadian politics.

In the article, Juncker is described as "the head of the bloc’s executive". In reality, he's the former Prime Minister of a dukedom of about half a million people (about the size of Fresno, California) but is now President of

Considering that large sites with teams of lawyers are failing to follow the rules, how does a small site run by a few regular folks supposed to comply?

Trash being so close to so many people should be even more reason for it to be picked up. You don't have to travel to the middle of the Pacific to collect it. Yet old cans with pull off tops are still common in the ground in popular ou

Oceans are big and mysterious, but land is right here and if you go to just about any forest from California to Vermont, you'll stumble on human garbage about roughly every thirty steps. Cans, bags, shotgun shells, shoes, buckets, real

If you add the cost of the ticket and the money the city spends on buses, they are cost effective only in a few places in America. Moreover, given the choice I estimate 90% of Americans will choose the car where they have privacy, safety, t

Solar and oil (and natural gas) supply different markets and compete mostly at the margins.

Maybe. In my experience, simply the idea of getting on a bus frightens average Americans. The train seems less scary. So for those that have the freedom to make the choice, the bus is not the choice they make. And trains are rare save for a

Plus the public's usage of public transit is going down. Americans are, for whatever reasons, not interested in public transport unless they're forced to use it. And they don't like to be forced.

Hopefully Russia will block all external IPs, along with any contact with the outside world.

Exactly. In any case, ask a Communist where Communism had been tried and the answer will be: nowhere. True Communists see it like true Christians see heaven. It exists because book says so, but getting there gets stopped by evil others.

Russia doesn't have the resources to develop new advanced technologies. Most smart people left for high salaries, ones remaining make money in business, not engineering. Russia's space industry has essentially relied on tech devel

Companies spent billions on adjusting to regulations while trying to improve performance. Perhaps we'd be all electric by now, or perhaps we would have cars that fly, considering the money spent on efficiency and pollution control inst

Finland was part of Russia 100 years ago, which led to another experiment comparing systems for the next 70 years. The results are always the same.

Yeah but an actor pretending to be a scientist is so much more impressive than a boring old scientist doing boring science stuff. Moreover, the science done by the pretend scientist is a lot more impressive.

To soothe your feelings, I now live in the northern Midwest where we have real winter. And since it is indeed a value judgement, I still hold to the fact that Califonia has great weather. I like warmth, sun, reasonable levels of humidity. I

I know that for myself and many others I know, it is California's weather, nature, and ocean that drew us there. Nowhere else in the continental US can you have great year round weather.

Diesel is subsidized, as it is in other parts of Europe.

Perhaps my view of German energy industry is not detailed, but what are the advantages of diesel engines in cars if not efficiency? Cold starts can be hard, they smell, make a funny sound, slow to accelerate. Maybe maintenance is easier whe

It's important to note that popularity of diesel is the doing of the German government. The fuel is subsidized for the sake of the environment because it's more efficient. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp
