If FDR/Truman can electrify the deep South, surely its possible to simply upgrade the grid.
The grid is going to get upgraded regardless of Ortez-Kennedy when it's feasible and economically viable.

That is how things happen in America and that is why we have been the economic powerhouse we are for so long.

Do you think Penny just picked him for no reason? Obama was and still is a legendary fundraiser. Money makes politics go round, as much as we may all hate that. That’s what made him a rising star inside the party. Thanks to the courts, almost all of that now happens out of our sight.

You just admitted not even reading the entire proposal yourself. Maybe you should, before wagging your finger at others?

I think you missed Frank's meaning and maybe I misread it but "cleaner future" can mean many things especially from a radical like Kennedy.

I read the proposals. I just scanned the editorial on them. So, do you have a problem with planning for the future or not? Is the only thing that is important the next election or next P&L statement?

An article is posted. There are proposals in that article. Is that not what we are to discuss or should we discuss your boogeymen?

The Green New Deal is far more serious and mature than the childish right-wing conspiracy claptrap you linked to.

I have a problem with OC’s proposal. It offers many promises but zero specifics or financial impacts. It also offers socialistic freebies such as universal basic income and free college education, which I definitely do not agree with. The whole plan is nothing more than a liberal fantasy with an unattainable price tag.

If you think it's serious maybe there will be a job in it for you. Just bring your good drugs with so it all makes sense.

You are whacked if you think any of this will ever happen in America unless you are willing to throw out the constitution.
