I use the mute feature a lot.

@MyDogsBreakfast @gator_gum @sunlorrie Beside the point. It’s wrong to socialize the costs of private consumption. Don’t be a freeloader. Making sure all costs are reflected in prices leads to a more efficient market and incentivizes innovation that benefits a nation long term.

[Strom Parsons @StromParsons]

@MyDogsBreakfast @gator_gum @sunlorrie So the cost of emissions shouldn’t be included in market prices but rather socialized to everyone? Or do you prefer big government regulation that prevents emissions even if one freely agrees to pay for the cost?

[Strom Parsons @StromParsons]

@MyDogsBreakfast @gator_gum @sunlorrie He was the first one to propose the idea. You might want to try and know something about a subject before posting about it.

[Strom Parsons @StromParsons]

@MyDogsBreakfast @gator_gum @sunlorrie That you are calling basic free market economic theory “liberal talking points” is hilarious.

[Strom Parsons @StromParsons]

@MyDogsBreakfast @gator_gum @sunlorrie They are Preston manning talking points actually.

@kinsellawarren @CNN That changes fast with a 50% export tax on potash and uranium.

[Strom Parsons @StromParsons]

@MyDogsBreakfast @gator_gum @sunlorrie You don’t believe the market responds to price signals? Seems like you are the leftist.

[Strom Parsons @StromParsons]

@MyDogsBreakfast @gator_gum @sunlorrie To price to cost of emitting carbon into the market so it doesn’t remain a socialized cost. This is basic stuff.

[Strom Parsons @StromParsons]

@MyDogsBreakfast @gator_gum @sunlorrie They were meant to create price signals in the market to incentivize investments in lower carbon technologies. How do you not know this?

[Strom Parsons @StromParsons]

@sunlorrie No one said Carbon taxes could control the weather. They said markets respond to price signals which only communists disagree with. So I have to assume you are a communist.

@LumLotus @ObcnSuperMatt Right. The magical lighting shield. Why didn’t anyone think of that.

[Strom Parsons @StromParsons]

@JimDaBink Well stop the wild fire smoke when you stop hurricane remnants from coming north, deal?

@DeniseD02979547 Money would be better spent improving the dismal US education system so fewer people are stupid enough to say things like this.

@James20938498 @andrew_leach lol

@Reil76 @Meg_BunchONmbrs Ironically it was conservative premiers who did the lock downs.

@Concern70732755 You have it exactly backwards. Threat to democracy and liberty comes from the nationalist right movements like MAGA at this point in history. MAGA are the Maoists of the 21st century.

[Strom Parsons @StromParsons]

@PositivFuturist Not really. What makes liberals smart is the realize that slippery slope arguments are stupid and the moderate version of a policy is in no way logically undermined by the fact that an extreme version of the same policy would be unworkable.

[Strom Parsons @StromParsons]

@BobAllan23 @albertastoic @ABDanielleSmith And the fact that provinces or states have no right to secede through a referendum is established international law and the case in the domestic law in every democracy in the world. It’s is in no way an example of the tyranny of the majority.

[Strom Parsons @StromParsons]

@BobAllan23 @albertastoic @ABDanielleSmith That’s just wrong. The amendment must happen before because a Province leaving is currently unconstitutional and can’t happen without the democratic consent of the entire country, not because of a vote in that province alone. Thats the core of the clarity act.
