Since we have broken tags:
They shouldn't have been transfered to start with, indeed there was no need for a "department of homeland security" anyway. We already had one. It is called the department of defense. Of course this is a position I have had since 2001.
A. The ATF usually doesn't harass alcohol drinkers. Just don't start homebrewing beer or they will harass you.
B. If you're not already nicotine dependent, don't become nicotine dependent. The FDA (an other federal organization I'd love nothing more than to dissolve) is working over time to prohibit vaping because people aren't smoking and aren't dying and also aren't paying Big Tobacco's portion on the tobacco bonds.
C. Thanks for letting us known you're unarmed. The BATF usually doesn't bother people who have guns unless the fact that they do have guns is the only thing the government has on them. They are an agency of last resort harassment from the feds.
By that logic Obama was awful too. As was every President since FDR.
I was pointing out the stupidity of your argument that we could use horses to install this renewable infrastructure grid. 5b. Is hardly irrelevant. I was pointing out your ignorance regarding horses in general. For the record my experiences with them are primarily a direct result of the BF wanting to have a "real cowboy experience" or whatever about eight or nine years ago. Needless to say if he ever wants to do that again he can do it by himself. When I was a kid and worked off and on for farmers we all used trucks, atvs and other motorized equipment.
Of course it does which is why any attempt to get off fossil fuels requires them. There is a reason why we're still using those fuels and it isn't "hurr big business". It is the rate of return on energy.
If you're speaking of electronics? Actually we're coming up with ways to use more and more electricity with silicon. As for solar panels themselves they are made of highly refined silicon which requires vast amounts of energy to produce. While theoretically we can run a factory on solar panels the over all rate of return on energy of photovoltaics is not worth it to try.
The Amish are not a good example here either. Their requirements aren't the same as everyone else's unless you plan on turning everyone into Amish.
I'm opposed to air travel subsidies but at least I can get to where I'm going in a plane.
PBR Wrote:1, 2 -- those agencies would be transferred back.

Quote:3. Not being involved in alcohol except as a slight drinker, or either tobacco or firearms at all, I have nothing to fear from BATF.

Quote:4. The CIA is no better than the Administration of the time. NSA? Likewise. Donald Trump is simply awful.

Quote:5. "Get a horse!" is an archaic expression from the time when the early automobiles were unreliable and the muddy, rutted paths of the time were even more unreliable. 5b. Irrelevant.

Quote:6. Concern troll stuff. Energy-saving equipment requires energy to build or make.
Of course it does which is why any attempt to get off fossil fuels requires them. There is a reason why we're still using those fuels and it isn't "hurr big business". It is the rate of return on energy.
Quote:7. Eventually the factories will be run by solar power. Yes, extraction of silicon from sand is exemplifies a strongly endothermic process, but many objects that rely upon silicon chips can do much more with less. That's one way to cut energy use.

Quote:8. Amtrak does not get anything like the subsidies that air travel gets.

Quote:9. Considering that the GOP gave lockstep opposition to Obama and has a Republican President with whom it agrees on most critical issues... I expect cooperation by Congress much like that of the parliament of China. The legislative branch of government is a sick joke in a dictatorship.
It really is all mathematics.
