@united@BoeingAirplanes I wonder if they would have let me take this guitar directly on this flight instead of forcing me to check it because my case was "too big" @united
Antiwar President Donald Trump has launched more air and drone strikes in Somalia over just the last year than Barack Obama did over all eight years, and about as many strikes per year as GWB and Obama combined and totaled from 2002 (war’s start) to January 2017 (inauguration).
@larryelder @domenicoscarl Aristotle said: Poverty is the parent of revolution and crime. The US African American population has faced an unjust criminal justice system and severe poverty since emancipation, these stats reflect that. These stats prove the opposite of the point you are trying to make
@UsesSimpleTools@RachaelBott1@MMFlint Thanks for your thoughtful replies. I agree with you about nuclear being the safest and most efficient form of renewable energy. Obviously the big problem with nuclear is how to deal with radioactive waste but still better than solar and wind overall
@leahstokes@vox Despite the controversy, the film has shed light on the most important fact of all, that unfettered neoliberal capitalist policies have captured the entire world. That includes a portion of the green sector
@NoahTompkins7@RachaelBott1@MMFlint There are several valid criticisms about this documentary, especially with regards to the outdated efficiency data of solar panels and wind turbines. However, those metrics don’t mean the underlying premise of the film is no longer relevant in 2020: https://t.co/QRx9iurkfb
@RachaelBott1@ClaudiaEsther26 @charliefox225 @MMFlint https://t.co/QRx9iurkfb I would just watch Moore and Gibbs defend themselves in this video. At least we’re all having a conversation about the big issue, which is unfettered neoliberal capitalist policies and billionaires ruling the world. I’m proud of this film.
@RachaelBott1@MMFlint Vested interests are: Bill McKibben, Al Gore, David Blood and Michael Bloomberg among many others. At the end of the day, how can you possibly argue that humans need to reduce their consumption? We are the problem and green energy will not save us
@RachaelBott1@MMFlint Hey Rachael, this article is poorly written from a scientific standpoint and full of bias (not to mention poor grammar). The author spends the entire time avoiding the true issues of the film: that capitalism has captured the renewable energy industry.
@RachaelBott1 @HarryBrave4 @MMFlint Clearly she didn’t watch it, because you wouldn’t make that comment if you did. The billionaires are NOT your friends.
@GlobalEcoGuy First of all, it was Jeff Gibbs’ documentary. Did you watch the film? Your claim that this is the least-researched film is bogus. The amount of time he spent following the money behind these so-called “sustainable” projects is impressive. We’re lucky to have this film.
