OK, I did.

If ya gotta pay it or the government puts you in jail. . . it's a tax.

You mean. . . it depended largely upon the personalities of the staff members and the quality of the leadership? But. . . but. . . that's really hard to fit on a protest sign!

Yeah, we specialize in creating, and destroying, wordgames that try to bend things. For example, "Average global temperatures have risen by 1.5 degrees Celsius since 1966" is a fact (if true, I have no idea). "If we don't tax the piss out of gasoline, we're all gonna die!" is a "truth." The...

They're all right. And they're all wrong. There is no all-inclusive, one-size-fits-all answer, and anybody who says there is is selling something.

Thank you. Any more statements of the obvious you want to bless us with?

"CO2 is necessary for all life" is a cheap, facile avoidance of the question. Vitamin A is also necessary for life, and if you overdose on it, it'll kill ya. Water is necessary for all life. But try breathing it. And I didn't say pollution isn't different from climate change. I said that...

I'm sceptical about that.

Again I ask, has she pledged some of her wealth to environmental R&D? I ask because I don't know. Nor much care, frankly. She's one not-particularly-well-informed amateur who has become popular. I don't care much for such, generally.

Surely you agree many would. And obviously, she's partially right about climate change. If you pump greenhouse gases into a closed system, they will retain more solar heat. That's a fact. Whether or not this constitutes a "crisis" is a matter of opinion. Personally, I support anti-pollution...

I understand. It takes effort to speak clearly, factually, and specifically. Far easier to say "She's a cunt" and press on.

Do you know anything about her donation history/habits? I freely admit I don't. Given the power, would you suppress her freedom to speak? While we're at it, precisely what makes her a cunt? Is that a bad thing? Rather fond of cunt, myself.

I do, yes. Semantics (apparently a curse word to many) is grounded on the proposition that words have meanings, and that twisting them to make something appear other than what it is is an error.

But not Greta?

Never much liked truth. I prefer facts.

Wait. . . they ADMITTED it? Wow.

I thought this was about her eating well with the undernourished out the window. What part of that image was about the environment? And again I ask. . . is the only way to avoid being a hypocrite to reduce one's impact to zero? Is Bill Gates a hypocrite? He donates more money to feeding the...

So. . . the only way they can be upstanding folk is to abandon their riches and starve in rags on the streets?

Let us know when they attack the Capitol and wound and kill police officers. Or just shriek "AOC! Run and hide!" Pretty good chance of fooling people as stupid as you.

By what measure? We lead the world in GDP. . . and national debt. So call it a mixed bag.
