It's the energy that we need.
But it's going to be a struggle for some Dems who have a genuine fulsome belief in things like political gerrymandering is bad.
But you can't play with some self-imposed rules while the refs aren't calling any fouls/cheating on the other side.

Look at the FBI. Bush appoints Republican Comey, Obama keeps him.
Trump fires him and appoints Republican Wray.
Biden keeps Wray.
Trump fires Wray and appoints Republican Kash Patel.
Dems keep Republican FBI directors afraid to look political while Republicans appoint Republican FBI directors (Trump even firing the one he hired).

Dems keep Republican FBI directors because of their own democratic values and semi obedience to the law, and that is why some vote Blue and would not vote Blue if Blues start behaving like those deplorable maga republicans.

You don't go lower because they go lower. You go higher when they go lower, and trust We The People.

Ibime come and carry this guy, he is lost

Did Ibime tell you he is buda's carrier?

benalvino3:
Haven't you been on the wrong side of everything?

I don't see police against cat calls as the wrong side of everything because such police are more likely to be against rapists, which I hope is your wrong side too.

Shouldn't you show us some evidence?

Wasting taxpayers money

I'm glad the police and women don't see it your way.

I wonder what you'd make of Surrey Police.

A female police officer who volunteered to run in plain clothes to catch catcallers has said their behaviour "makes me feel really sort of icky".

PC Abby Hayward, who works for Surrey Police, said she was honked at twice during a 5km (3-mile) undercover run.

The force's Jog On campaign sees female police officers running in targeted locations, with uniformed officers on hand nearby to deal with perpetrators who catcall or shout sexually suggestive comments.

PC Hayward said: "When I'm on my own, I don't have the backup. It just ruins my whole run."

Other officers involved in the scheme said it is an issue that affects them outside of work.

The campaign also comes after a Surrey County Council survey found that while 94% of female residents asked said they had experienced a form of harassment, nearly half said they had never reported it.

---Wholesale prices surged in July, reigniting inflation worries---July’s PPI jump was the biggest in three years---raising the risk that consumer inflation will follow — and that any rate cuts will stall---

https://qz.com/ppi-july-inflation-trump-tariffs-federal-reserve-cut

And the bets are Powell will lower interests rates.

In another inflation shocker – services again! – the Producer Price Index Final Demand for Services exploded by 1.08% in July from June (+13.8% annualized!), the worst since March 2022 when inflation was peaking (blue in the chart). It was broad based: Prices for services less trade, transportation, and warehousing spiked by 0.69% (8.6% annualized), while prices for transportation and warehousing services spiked by 1.01% (12.8% annualized).

This explosion in services prices caused the “core” PPI Final Demand, which excludes food and energy, to spike by 0.92% month-to-month (+11.6% annualized), the worst since March 2022. And it caused the overall PPI Final Demand to spike by 0.94% (+11.9% annualized), the worst since March 2022, with food prices and energy prices also surging.

Budaatum seems to have no issue with people like this but he s quick to support the government's in arresting pple over their tweets.

Has buda ever wanted you arrested for whatever you write here on Nairaland or is buda just jealous of musk, in your opinion?

Watabot?

benalvino3:
A guy sesually assaulted a girl. He told the judge he had troubled past and they judge says you are the victim not the one you assaulted.

I'm glad you've adjusted from your exaggerated "r pist", to "sesually assaulted". Its progress. Now do same on the fact the judge never said "you are the victim", and stop with the gaslight.

benalvino3:
Your response :

Translation: '...

More like your 'maths is racist' understanding, which is expected, sadly.

UK is a democracy, and a compassionate democracy at that, but I know it's hard for some to understand we don't shoot groppers, or rǎpists here.

benalvino3:
Imagine this 😂😂

Are you serious?
No one voted to feed and house illegal migrants in a luxury hotel. £70 per week, multiple square meals.

As a paid member of the Labour Party that is now in government because the majority of us and I voted for them, I am very serious.

If we woke liberals don't like the maga deporting illegals and changing the environment and helping genociders and tariffs and starving Gaza that the majority voted for, you must tell us to go and drink our tears until the next election please.

This is for your consideration.

Yes. You.

If you don't like government policy, write your MP or vote someone who hears you. Protests don't dictate policy. UK is a democracy.

benalvino3:
If you tweet about certain topics, you will be arrested and jailed for 2 years or more.

If you force yourself on a minor or a woman, they will try to make an excuse for the r pist

This is why you see people protesting every day in the UK.

Budaatum, what do you have to say about this?

Write to your MP if you'd like them to shoot him, and vote one who listens to you if your MP don't.

UK is a democracy. Protests don't change policy.

benalvino3:
This skills are rubbish. Their work are repetitive. They don't need problem solving skills.
Interpersonal skills? Lol.

This your thinking is how many Nigerians unreason then claim they are unemployed.

You need most of those skills to flip burgers. The job after all includes customer service, hence interpersonal skills, and cleaning sick off the toilet seat, which does require you solve a problem.

basilico:
You can use data to prove anything. For instance your posts here could be used in a court to prove you are mentally unstable and a danger to your children.

So, you mean you can make crap up in your head and lie? Thankfully, courts are not gullible like you, and would require evidence and proof before they accept what you lie about.

Incidentally, Wolf Richter has been leaning maga recently. He loves tariffs and even seems to be deleting antimaga posts sometimes, but the data does not lie nor can he say he is too blind to see it.

Time will tell.

Core services accelerated to 4.5% annualized in July from June (+0.36% not annualized), the worst in six months, and the second month in a row of sharp increases, and it wasn’t housing costs that did it (blue in the chart).

The three-month core services CPI accelerated to 3.2%, also the second month in a row of acceleration (red).

benalvino3:
I am sure a lot of people who flip burgers would prefer to assemble iPhones for the same wage.

I do agree, Except they might not have the necessary skills.

Go on. What skills must a chinese iphone assembler have?

And don't just read the first page that comes up, dig the links too then tell me if you think magas qualify en masse as they might in China and as I hope we would too.

Chinese iPhone assemblers need a combination of technical, practical, and interpersonal skills. Key skills include strong attention to detail, manual dexterity, problem-solving, and the ability to read blueprints. They also need to be proficient in quality control, basic math, and maintaining equipment. Furthermore, teamwork, communication, and the ability to stay focused are crucial for efficient assembly line work.

benalvino3:
Better lower skilled workers 😂
People are still flipping burgers. Why not outsource that too?

What skill do you think is involved to assemble an iPhone?

They do outsource burger flipping, just gone are the days to humans. McDonald's has autotills these days. You press buttons for your order and put your money in a hole then collect your big mac.

Skills involved in assembly of iphones include turning up on time, attention to detail, dedication and diligence and so on. Pretty much the same as burger flipping to be honest, just as bit more technical

benalvino3:
Oga it's not the same. Factories close because of the green agenda, then production is outsourced to countries that do not care about the green agenda.

Factories close because of better lower skilled workers elsewhere too, then production is outsourced elsewhere. My only angst is that "elsewhere" is not Nigeria yet.

Americans are not stupid. Least not all of them, which is why some care about the green agenda. It includes not polluting your drinking water with your waste.

benalvino3:
It is self explanatory

Isn't that the way of the world. Tokunbo boku for Naija, is that not we actually going to the so called "democracies" to import their rubbish for ourselves? Those smart democracies. Cleaning their environment at the expense of economies that are emerging.

Those "emerging economies" should perhaps stop accepting money to have democracy's waste dumped on them is what I think. Or is that not the self responsible thing to do instead of asking those who clean their own environment to dirty theirs?

Yes. Higher cost of energy for living in a democracy is the price as I should know. It's just a pity the emerging economies have not learnt yet to get a bigger slice of the pie. And with basilicos sort in it, I don't expect that to change soon.

benalvino3:
You supported a dictator twice. It's not like you neutrally stood at the corner and watch things played out. The guy was your choice twice.

Not only twice. Super powered your General God buda ordered more Nigerians to not "neutrally stood at the corner and watch things played out".

Trust me. I am very sad the same powers did not work for Obi or against dump for that matter. I must try harder next time.

benalvino3:
Confused and speaking from both side of his mouth

You are not the first to say and it always brings a smile to my face, because you think it's insulting or a bad thing, when I accept the compliment thank you, and that's apart from the fact your opinion of me and most things matters not an iota in the scheme of things to me.

benalvino3:
Budaatum supports anything that destroys.

Stupidity must be destroyed ben.

benalvino3:
How are you saving the planet when all you are doing is outsourcing greenhouse gas?
It's like giving a gun to your friend to shoot your wife. You are still responsible

I might have caught you at use your brain moment. Know I shall stop obliging when you stop using it, but first. You know I am responsibly antigun and not stupid, so how could anything I do or say involve the use of guns?

Explain how and what you mean by, "when all you are doing is outsourcing greenhouse gas". I accept your "you" is general.

PDPGuy:
Lufthansa has had direct flights from Frankfurt to Chicago and to Boston for 40 years. A week or two ago, they permanently shut these flights down due to lack of interest. Miami Dade airport has had to shut, permanently, 30 gates because so few people are coming there that they don’t need those gates anymore.

Think of all the shops cafes, coffee shops etc in those airports that have shut down. More unemployment as a result lack of customers.

Not only unemployment. Employers are complaining they can't find workers too, and the unemployed can't pick crops nor do they have H-1B skills to make chips.

Dump did promise to fight illegal immigration. He just didn't understand his fight would negatively impact legal immigration too.

benalvino3:
Its what budaatum and these people don't understand. The cost of energy goes up as they move to RENEWABLE ENERGY. how come something that is renewable is costing more?

You don't understand we are willing to pay more to save the planet because you think everyone is selfishly centred like you.

LordReed:
Holy Andromeda. Didn't know the extent of your condition my dear buda.

It's holy indeed my Lord.

I got on a plane and came to the NHS where wonderful doctors performed miracles on me while my cousin died in Nigeria. That put a nail in any desire I might feel to moan or be sorry for myself.

I'm often angry at myself though for not knowing better despite ma trying hard to convince me it was village people. I should have known better.

He might have to fire it or teach it to lie.

So you mean this guy frothing at the lips with conservative rhetoric about green energy being a scam does solar installations for a living?

A clear case of we’re fighting for them and they are fighting against themselves.

The jokes write themselves
Oh lord.

Same thing happened when Nigerians voted for Buhari.

My attitude then was, if the majority want him who am I to say no. My disappointment however was his 2.0 was far too watered down for my liking. I would have loved benalvino3 who wasn't alive during his 1.0, to experience 200 year prison sentences for corrupt officials, but Buhari went democratic on me, sadly.

bayelsaowei:
green energy isnt a folly. Its the future.. and it will happen gradually.

Whilst fossil fuels is still pretty much relevant , conservatives should not all together discard the fact that the world would chase after green energy.. America shouldn't and wouldnt be left behind.. America should ensure a robust energy mix and not completely discard a valid energy value chain or calling it a folly.

You wouldn't believe basilico's job is solar panel installation.

They must not be painted green, so he probably doesn't think its to do with energy.
