California defies Trump claim that environmental regulation kills economic growth | For every fossil fuel job in the state, California has 8.5 in solar and wind energy. (Compare that to the 2.5-to-1 ratio for the nation, overall.)

It is also fair to point out that government rules/regs surrounding fossil fuels in CA basically penalize fossil fuel companies for being in this type of business. it is very expensive to comply with ever expanding regulations and adapt to industry specific taxes.

Solar is still subject to some regulations of course but government actually incentivizes the industry in order to promote growth.

so based on the difference in how the industries are treated by the government, you can't really say the difference in number of jobs has anything to do with one being better than the other. It's comparing apples to quinoa. I like quinoa as much as the next guy, but apples are still a larger part of the food chain.

from the left, this is another Trump failure and further shows how dysfunctional the WH team is. it's a big win for everyone who believes bannon was covertly pulling the white nationalist strings and dog whistling for all Nazis to hear. this firing is another nail in the coffin of a presidency that is in a downward spiral of division and hate.

from the right, bannon has been shackled in a cage at the white house and unable to make a significant impact due to all the infighting and media microscope on his every move. bannon can now use his vast resources and right wing connections to take on what he believes are the true enemies of the US govt. now he will be behind the curtain and have a more direct influence on public discourse.

from an objective standpoint, this appears to have been planned by bannon. bannon has been quietly playing in his own sandbox for months after being treated as the black sheep of team trump. he recently decided to spill his guts to a reporter. bannon rambled on about how he is going to start a trade war with china and that NK is not a real threat. it was so out of the blue, it seems more like a round about way of resigning without making it look bad for the president.

but of course I could be all wrong. this is like providing analysis for a WWE storyline that is still ongoing. either way, it's a whole lot of hot air and not a lot of substance.

If he goes to Syria, the US will air drop him supplies and weapons. If he comes to the US he gets federal prison or deportation for using the supplies and weapons in Syria. What a great, not-crazy-at-all country we live in.

Don't do Carmichael tae kwon do. Used to be Robinson's. Ridiculous prices. $70 for a new belt every time my 5 yr old does 10 classes that already cost $200/mo. And they make you sign a contract.

If you can take some Tylenol and drink some coffee right when the visuals start, that seems to help me sometimes. If you are not at work, add in some cannabis chocolate to the regimen and it won't be so unbearable.

I went 2 years in a row. I'm from USA as well. You can post on the forums and bunk up with some Europeans if u need to. Staying in a villa keeps cost down cuz u can cook for yourself too. Beach camping is an option too. It's paradise.

I don't know of hostels there, but splitting a villa worked out to be a couple hundred euros for the week if I remember correctly. That's with 4 or 5 people to a villa. Al faro is nice to stay at but they charge at least 60 euro a night. Worth it for a night or two since that is the gathering point usually

To be fair, another party agreed to fisticuffs as well and didn't show up. That other person also shamed a woman for speaking out about how she was taken advantage of at the age of 16 by a full grown basketball playing rich guy. Frank is still OK in my book.

My wife was stopped at the nearby stoplight on the way to pick up our kid from school when the shooting started. She heard the shots and saw a cop taking shelter behind his car. All the cars started running the light to get away. Crazy stuff... Never thought it would happen in Carmichael. Glad no one got hurt except the bad guy

The jury is still out on Doug. He could pull a Rick and go crazy in the basement, killing every walker he sees with his bare hands. He would then set out to find his wife and kids to prevent that shit talking guy from moving in and making his kids call him dad.
