> oil companies are "dragging their feet".

That is what you requested and that is what I provided. There are other articles if you would like to research them yourself.

The full quote is "“Whether it’s $150 oil, $200 oil, or $100 oil, we’re not going to change our growth plans,’’ Pioneer Chief Executive Officer Scott Sheffield said during a Bloomberg Television interview. “If the president wants us to grow, I just don’t think the industry can grow anyway.’’"

>Now that I've addressed your article, would you like to address the above administration policy decision I linked?

"Federal land accounts for about 24 percent of oil and gas production in the United States, mainly in the offshore Gulf of Mexico. But since companies with existing leases will not be affected, the near-term impact on exploration and production as well as royalties to states will be limited. With more than 26 million onshore acres and 12 million offshore acres already under lease, there is a deep inventory of exploration opportunities. "

Here is one example. "Not Even at $200 a Barrel: Shale Giants Swear They Won’t Drill More"

>Every single of the thousands of innovation that goes into an iPhone was subsidized by rich venture capitalists and rich early adopters

Don't forget the governments which helped fund the basic research used to make such things, the middle and lower classes that pay more in property taxes so companies can be bribed to build factories, and other such things.

Put another way it's a much more complicated picture than just those two.

The executives who are responsible for all the excess hiring should also be removed for their failures as well so they can be held responsible for their mistakes.

How is the title misleading?

I dislike people who don't apply the same rules they apply to others to themselves such as Musk saying you have to be in the office 40+ hours per week when that isn't physically possible for him to do given how many companies he runs.

I also dislike those who get lots of help from others to become rich and powerful then use their power to stop others from getting the same help, which he has done.

Meta will be taking approximately 50% of all sales on their metaverse platform IIRC.

Seems a bit much.

From the article.

"Black students are 66% less likely to be identified as gifted compared to white students with similar test scores. Black, Latinx, and Native American students are far less likely to attend a school that even offers a gifted program. These are just some of the issues with which the gifted education field must grapple. "

How are you using progressivism here? I ask because it seems to have a lot of different meanings depending on who is using it.

While I do not know how much carbon is created during the recycling asphalt is nearly 100% recyclable.

>Parenthood is by far the most subsidized personal choice in the universe.

The amount spent on keeping shipping lanes protected, the world "stable", and older people having access to medical care are, in the US, subsidized more I believe.

So why don't cars and trucks still use leaded gasoline?

It would be less popular it Tesla had leadership that lead by example instead of dictate and if they stopped making promises they can't execute on year after year.

Amazon makes a lot of money from selling ads so having a search that "requires" ads to be bought to make people actually see your product benefits Amazon.

This assumes you know that said party is doing such things, often one doesn't.

Please see my response to teakettle42 in this thread.

P18 in the PDF (p11 as per the included numbering) condemns and calls for the reversal of both US vs Windsor & Obergefell v Hodges as well as calls for marriage to be between one man and one women only.

P 19/12 calls for special rights to worship "God" which is the Christian god in this context, it doesn't call for the same rights for other religious beliefs. It all calls out for special rights to display the Ten Commandments but not other religious artifacts / documents.

Is one on the "radical left" if they think LGBTQ people should be able to get married, that the non-religious / non-Christians should have equal rights? This is a serious question, not a troll. I ask it because the "conservative" party in the US explicitly is against such things in their platform documents.

It's rather strange to me that it is so hard for the term "radical left" to be defined in any sort of objective way, often it seems no definition is available at all which makes discussions about the topics hard to have.

> calling leftists rioting and committing arson “mostly peaceful”

What they said was “FIERY BUT MOSTLY PEACEFUL PROTESTS AFTER POLICE SHOOTING" according to the link you provided.

The vast majority of those involved in the protect didn't commit crimes, correct?

How are you using "far left" in this instance?

It's strange that Musk isn't putting in the 40+ hours per week for the various companies he runs isn't it?

Would be nice if more leaders would lead by example, instead of dictate.

> entire Woke enterprise

How are you defining "Work enterprise"?

Note: Work should be Woke. Error on my part.

Companies should not spend billions on stock buybacks instead of keeping their factories in running order but the recent baby food issues in the US show that isn't always the case.

According to some my < .5 acre plot of land and home are going to be the downfall of society why this topic makes so many crank the emotion up to 10 I just don't understand.

>It doesn’t make your life objectively worse

If my taxes go up to fund plants / warehouses for profitable companies I am objectively worse, am I not?

>the emotionally manipulative equivocation is lazy and puerile.

This is a sincere question but do you apply that standard to your interactions with others?

Are not all people worthy of being treated with respect?

That doesn't mean they have to be treated like lesser beings.

Less spam might equal less ad sales so it isn't in Google's best short term interest to actually fix it.

I'm not on my main system right now but I remember some papers that said they require a lot of water to start but they recycle a lot of it.
