Haha, I KNEW you're gonna say that. I replied it that way because it reminds me on an argument I had with a math teacher way back when which I want to tell.

It's was a math question but the answer is in multiple choice. The (simplified) question was like: What's 10-11? (I remember the exact answer is -1) but the choices were:

a) 21
b) < 10 c) < 0 d) none of the above

I chose b) because you can't lose against c) & d) right? WRONG! According to the math teacher, c) is the right answer because "c) is closer to -1"... I was in no mood to even argue with her on the conundrum of including d) in the choices by her logic, so I just sneered and slowly moonwalked away...

Under 20? Oh I so love an optimist.

My guess is more like 3 out of 5 couldn't get most of the Qs right.

Well, well, well... base on this reasoning, the FIRST thing we should do is bring down is the stock price of Tesla, make it into a junk stock company for those endlessly promoting Musk here. Yessssss.......

Whether oil is finite or otherwise is kind of moot when we're talking about its impact on the economic & environment at large. With the advancement of renewable, clean energy techonology and ever cheaper cost of manufacturing & generation -- without even mentioning the political shift it would bring by reducing the power & authoritarian tendencies of the OPEC countires -- it's just plain Good Business to transition as fast as possible away from oil.

Countries like Israel, due to its geolocation/geopolitical climate, it's a desalination powerhouse. California can do the same. But a balanced approach (environmental harm vs. human necessity vs. commercial viability) is hard to achieve:

Hope that California can gets its act together quick enough w/ more water recycling plants:

Some real & fair regulation & enforcement, with violators getting punished helps (HA!).

And there are far too many people taking hate - and self-righteousness - up to another wholely violent level because parody, and irony, is dead to them.

...not to mention a major cause of the state of its Health Care is due to a myriad of the US's embargo/sanctions of medical supplies to Cuba, despite some aids (to be truly Fair & Balance).

Rich people do pay their fair share. Its called Lobbying, in return, they pay a fraction of the tax RATE (as a %) of us working-class pay.

These rich people are so poor, they go to the governments to gain tax exemptions for variety of things like land, building, power to build their HQ/factory or what have you to subsidize their billions & trillions.

Brain so fried bob doesn't remember which party of debauchery the Cawthorn, Gaetz and their cabal of sexual deviants belong to.

Or is bob just can't accept the level of Republican's hypocrisy?

Republicans are so ill to even dream up all those sickening, baseless accusations, one have to imagine what goes through their head all day. Like, that's Psycho & Sociopath level of mental. Seek help. Please.

Only in America: where cops in general have far less regards for human life and its "patriots" consider as normal & just, while throwing more public money at them without questions other than "Do you need more? Just ask!"

I doubt the sentencing judge will book Potter to anything worse than Club Fed though.

One down, how many more to go? Justice should be the norm, not the exception in a decently just country.

A cadaver certainly has its medical scientific uses and it's still as dead as a doornail to me...

That's a gem in this segment of the show.

Of all the things I don't agree with Maher (recently of the Mask Mandate, sooooooooo misinformed and/or self-centered, he's part of the prolonged problem), I must say, his fixation on not cancelling anyone and while urging people not being snowflakes are right stands for me. As much as a "political opposite" some people are to me, I'm actually far more interested in the reasons behind why they take those stands, whether they care to explain themselves or not (because, come on, we KNOW American culture breeds goats and they can only parrot what their political/religious/news/social media overlords tell them without understanding the ulterior motives behind their words & actions). I've long given up expecting one half of the population to be able to articulate thoughts.

His shows are still able (willing?) to invite "both sides" to the table. For that, his shows are worth watching.

A troll's gonna troll, what can we do? Don't need to give him the sick pleasure of getting a long reply. Just let these sifts die in his queue instead of wasting time asking him to get sense of reality.

Their problem is really just a legislative one. How hard is it to change, or get an exemption, the legislation for Orkney Islands?

Typical ring-wingnut to be too lazy to google before mouthing off...
