Remember this when the Climate Cult comes at you with crap like this in the future. They don't care about the climate. They care about power over you and your life and imposing collectivism on you. The fake hysteria over the climate
is just the cover they're using to do it.
------------------------
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's chief of staff Saikat Chakrabarti admitted recently that the true motivation behind introducing the Green New Deal was to "overhaul the entire economy of America".
Chakrabarti said during a meeting with Washington Governor Jay Inslee that addressing climate change was not Ocasio-Cortez's top priority in proposing the Green New Deal . "The interesting thing about the Green New Deal, it wasn't originally a climate thing at all," Chakrabarti said to Inslee's climate director, Sam Ricketts, according to a Washington Post reporter who attended the meeting for a profile published Wednesday. "Did you guys think of
it as a climate thing? Because we really thought of it as a how-do-you-change-the-entire-economy thing."

. . .
It's kind of remarkable about how Maher actually makes sense sometimes
now. I think he may be on the same trail Ronald Reagan was on back in
the day. Remember that Reagan was a solid Democrat for many years,
including his time as president of SAG, but eventually became a
Republican. Someone asked him about that once and said "It's not so much >that I left the Democratic Party as that they left me." I think Maher
may be going the same way, slowly but surely.
Here's another segment with Maher talking sense:--- Synchronet 3.22a-Linux NewsLink 1.2
https://substack.com/@roybentzvi/note/c-305867557?r=7xsprv [9 minutes]
Or maybe it's the same segment since I don't know what segment moviePig
was talking about.

Reagan had learned the words but his conservatism wasn't deeply held,
and he wasn't a committed civil libertarian. As SAG president, he
provided some names for the Blacklist
and generally didn't protect his
members from studio indifference and betrayal. As governor, by this time
a Republican, the major interstaes were being built replacing free
market privately owned public transportation

People can opt out of a capitalistic system. They're free to literally leave if they don't like it. Not so under communism.

The point here is that "evil" is a moralistic pronouncement, which the

The big one is Brightline in Florida, which runs on Florida East Coast,
not part of CSX. Any privately-owned local bus service has municipal contracts, probably cost plus.

Greyhound is sad as it was stripped of all its land in city centers.

Is Greyhound still operating in the USA? They were the main (and I

of the hype - is COERCION. You don't want to give up your property, like crops raised on your land for a pittance? Well then, here's a bullet or
bunk in a concentration camp for you. Alternatively, we'll just deprive
you of any and all food so you can have rocks for dinner. You don't want
to keep your mouth shut about any disagreements you have with the
regime: same alternatives, bullet, concentration camp or starvation. And
so on for any possible thing you might want to do except for what we
tell you to do.

Communism does work in very small groups where everyone has an interest
in everyone else's welfare. Most families are communist -- the parents
give more and the kids need more, and nobody says it's unfair.
A difficulty arises when we ask people to act like they're strongly
bonded to people they don't even know.

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's chief of staff Saikat Chakrabarti
admitted recently that the true motivation behind introducing the Green New
Deal was to "overhaul the entire economy of America".
Chakrabarti said during a meeting with Washington Governor Jay Inslee that
addressing climate change was not Ocasio-Cortez's top priority in proposing
the Green New Deal . "The interesting thing about the Green New Deal, it
wasn't originally a climate thing at all," Chakrabarti said to Inslee's
climate director, Sam Ricketts, according to a Washington Post reporter who
attended the meeting for a profile published Wednesday. "Did you guys think
of
it as a climate thing? Because we really thought of it as a
how-do-you-change-the-entire-economy thing."
Fyi, I believe you'd immensely enjoy last night's Bill Maher --
specifically, his 5-minute-or-so 'New Rules' at the end.
What strange brew of intellectual witchery has resulted in me and Bill Maher
becoming politically simpatico?

Communism does work in very small groups where everyone has an interest

That is the reason why communism fails: if you don't have to produce
and you just take it all falls apart when there is no one left to
give.

That's the point. Communism tries to run a nation like a family.
Thinking of it that way is an easy way to understand why it can't work.
Spot on. Families can't scale. Also of note today's family is
breaking down due to feminism and the comparison is largely invalid
today.

It was happening before that. Lots of people think the so-called nuclear >family is the traditional family, but the term was invented as a

Ehat about the rural population decline? In a frontier or farm, weren't husband and wife less unequal because if both didn't do all the
necessary work, ypu might not survive the winter?

Can you provide any documentation for your claim?
This does wander
off the topic however.

Which part? The decreased stability? Sure, that can be looked up.

Well, where do you want to take it? Maybe soc.culture.usa would

Quick links:
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3171291/
Tracks family instability in the US across time, and we can see
that it began before 70s feminism and even before 50s nuclear
families.
Also, Andrew J. Cherlin has written several scholarly articles
and books on the changing American family, and he has one
specific to the role of grandparents:
Cherlin Andrew J, Furstenberg Frank F., Jr . The New American
Grandparent: A Place in the Family, A Life Apart. Cambridge, MA:
Harvard University Press; 1992.
Cherlin believes that early, lifelong marriages were an
aberration in history. He's probably right. The nuclear family
relies on that one marriage, which makes it fragile.
Honestly I'm not concerned on what the author "believes". I'm
interested in what history shows.
