you're going to struggle to find pictures when it was done in the dead of night after sending observers home and telling people they're stopping the count while they kept counting ...

i don't know if you've noticed, but no-one is taking you seriously. you're not being "debated"

I know for a fact you have not noticed, but your "no-one" consists entirely of your echo chamber.

That has a big effect on how much I care

one specific case ... now multiply that by how many people were doing it, or doing even worse things, in how many states?

I'd like to know who was favoured by the fraud overall, which is currently impossible to know, I have my suspicions and others will have theirs.

The Justice Department investigated all the major fraud allegations and found nothing.

The Justice Department, he continued, had looked at the major fraud allegations that Trump's lawyers had leveled. "It's just bullshit," Barr told the president.

"Overall the most up to date body of research from US, UK and other developed countries points to a very muted effect of minimum wages on employment, while significantly increasing the earnings of low paid workers. Importantly, this was found to be the case even for the most recent ambitious policies. Therefore, it concludes that, based on the overall weight of the available evidence, there is room for exploring a more ambitious NLW remit in the UK in the coming years, in the range of 60% to two-thirds of median hourly earnings"

You trust the government's data to report on the effectiveness of the government's policy?

Didn't the same government also predict the complete destruction of the UK economy because of brexit?

the same DOJ that had its fair share of skeletons come out in the past few years?

I'm convinced!

the basis of South African politics for 50 years. and a large part of what drives some of the people in this thread.

That LBJ quote is one the most accurate things I have seen and even fits well for SA

100% just want to add that this happens black on black as well as across racial lines. I think it was Dave Chapelle who commented on SA that the issues are poor on poor more so that black on white or white on black. pretty astute observation, I wonder where he learned how that works?

Great.

Yeah, keep spinning that lie.

Reminds me of this conference, from Georgia's electoral officer.

Quite poignant that on the 1st of December he said - "Someone's going to get hurt. Someone's going to get shot. Someone is going to get killed."

The warning signs were there about the dangers of propagating these baseless lies.

Well, they looked at evidence from other countries as well, not just the UK. This evidence, being a review, is looking back i.e. what actually happened. Different to Brexit predictions which were forecasts i.e. what could happen.

Solar is cheaper than coal. In places with "revenue support mechanisms" in place it is MUCH cheaper than coal (up to 5 times cheaper). Coal costs over $130/MWh.



And the article mentions the solutions to their problems:


Besides, I doubt the US would have the same problems with renewable supply being intermittent. While the whole of Germany might often have the same weather, the US is 30 times larger than Germany and it is always windy/sunny somewhere.

That issue doesn't worry me tbh.

You create a genuine free market for energy and you would end up with the correct energy mix between nuclear and renewables/energy storage. Things like smart meters can facilitate this.
