  1. You obviously have no clue what oil is used for. Since you think we can just randomly "end this addiction on fossil fuels", tell me what come out of a barrel of oil. Of those 42 gallons of oil, how much is gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, pharmaceuticals, fertilizers, food packaging, clothing, household goods, pieces for your electric cars and their infrastructure? You know nothing. Nothing!

  2.  @WilliamMueller818  thanks. It was literally a coin toss between that and Dan Gleeballs. 🤣

  3. Unfettered capitalism would actually be the best thing for America. Trouble is, we don't have unfettered capitalism. We have crony capitalism; a small number of oligarchs in bed with top government officials. Unfettered capitalism is a threat to what we have, but what we have certainly isn't security.

  4.  @TM-sm5qy  the day of the usefulness of the labor union has come and gone. The only use laborers are to the unions that ostensibly represent them is as a steady income stream for some political agenda or other. Unions are now nothing more than political action committees.

  5.  @berniv7375  that's almost the point I was making. The only place you strayed was at the end where you implied that capitalism is a zero sum game where one must choose between life and profitability.

  6.  @berniv7375  I'm not sure how you arrived at the conclusion that veganism is the cure for capitalism. There are two ways to "encourage" lifestyle change. Either through capitalism, or through government, which owns the monopoly on violence, pointing guns at people. Capitalism has, in the 20th century alone, lifted more than half the earth's population from the depths of abject poverty. And if you'll go back and read my previous comments, I was pretty clear that what we have in America today is not capitalism. It is essentially, corporate fascism; an unholy symbiosis of corporate oligarchs and government elite becoming incredible wealthy by removing choices from the people. That is NOT capitalism. Finally, to answer your question, no I am not vegan. Nor do I intend to be. I eat a well balanced diet of plants and animals. When God created this earth and all things in it, he then bequeathed it to us; man, his greatest creation. He commanded us to subdue it and to exercise righteous dominion over it. He gave us the beasts of the field, fowl of the air and plants and trees to consume wisely, as needed. I feel I do that, so absent the point of a gun, I'll not be going down the vegan road.
