    like who cares? let USA die if they want, not a problem for the rest of the world. When you start a war, don’t expect others to help you.

        Not anymore. It’s only problem for the rest of the world. If MR president does not like it, then they won’t get perks like wind farms.
        They normalized pedophilia, and now they normalizing wars, at some point people are this is fine, lets wait mid terms, right? They don’t care about climate change. Just watch some NBA this week and see how people care.

        Yeah but the climate change wars will not go the way the Americans think they will. It’ll topple itself by sheer virtue of its geographic size once the real shit hits the fan, and the former allies will be there with puppet warlords ready to carve up the interior.

        Is how I’m putting that in my “looking for in retirement” section of the ol’ Grindr profile

        Yes and no. It opens up a lot of land and minerals to us, we’re just not so morally bankrupt as to want to take advantage and encourage it like some demented orange fucks, and given the way Americans have been over the last while, Canadians will do what it takes and unify to protect our borders from the little American tribes that squabble below us in the divided oblast.

        Folks closer to the equator are truly fucked. Say bye bye to Jabba’s Palace ie Mar-A-Lago, not that Donald the Demented will be around much longer anyway.

    The Interior Department hailed the “innovative agreement” with the French energy giant and said, “the American people will no longer pay for ideological subsidies that benefited only the unreliable and costly offshore wind industry.″

      As a huge metal fan I love this but as a wind power fan I regret to inform you those aren’t made of metal, they’re composite, metal is weigh too heavy and expensive.

        Yes.

        Primarily, too much fear response. Fear makes you stupid.

        Secondarily, too much in-group loyalty. They’ll do and believe anything if that’s what the group believes.

        They rely on other countries using the Petrodollar, not buying oil. Once other countries move to another currency America will go bankrupt, and that isn’t speculation, it’s very much reality. America is doing everything to stop this.

        It won’t work though, the talk have already started happening. Americans better get used to the a lower standard is living because it’s going to be impossible to increase moving standards under the current debt.

                  One of the reasons the petroyuan was created was that Russia, Venezuela and Iran may be able to avoid the United States’ sanctions, so nations such as Saudi Arabia, one of the main oil producers and extractors could avoid dollar hegemony and U.S. pressure. The yuan’s main problems are its volatile liquidity and short scale extension, however the Chinese government intervened increasing its gold reserves to back the petroyuan.

          Lower? Bitch if we stop being a world power our standard of living will probably get higher. We can stop wasting all our resources on the military and propping up stupid shit and actually get some fucking healthcare.

            I disagree with this, our standard is living is only possible because we “tax” the world though money printing. When other countries stop using the dollar we will no long be able to run on debt. A lot of things we pay for will shutdown.

    Hey, if we all club together we could get through the first few stages of getting our own windfarm approved and then Trump could pay us a billion to cancel and we all walk away with a share.

        Just a criminal, racist, homophobe, murderer, misogynist. And I don’t doubt that his character could off-camera “fuck” some 17 year olds. So, pretty close to Trump on all accounts minus the incoherent ramblings.

      Just to be clear, this money was already spent by the previous administration on federal leases that were going to be used to build these offshore farms. The government will now be reimbursing the company the money it spent on those leases. Not quite just paying the company to not do something like the headline makes it seem. But that’s now $1 billion that could certainly be put to better use elsewhere that will be wasted paying this company back.

      It’s also embarrassingly short sided for a myriad of reasons but that doesn’t matter anymore. We’re great again!
