    1. 2.1

      It's a good point, I suppose even Trotter occasionally makes them. One of the central tenants of capitalism is to have every adult soul hard at work all the time.

      Does it matter if we yell at/ignore our kids for large parts of the day, every day, because we are all bent over at the alter of productivity?

      Probably.

    2. 2.2

      Surely things will carry on as normal won't they? Bring in slave labour from other countries.

      Imagine it it DJT were still Pres, he'd have Bannon selling ladders to Mexicans to scale the wall to get in and provide the workforce. To get over the wall he was paid for and didn't build.

    1. 3.1

      Climate change on the back burner…and by the cheerleader. Anyone who thinks we will reduce our emissions until circumstances force it is delusional…such is life.

      1. 3.1.1

        Well Harbeck (the green economy minister) said the economy is important (meaning the German economy) as Sri lanka ,Pakistan,Thailand are unable to purchase LNG due to cost (whilst Germany banks it for the winter)

          1. 3.1.1.1.1

            With an intergrated energy system in Europe,and the high risk of total loss of gas from Russia,the limited import hubs for LNG,the question will arise of who has first dibs.

            Btw the German Nuke operators said the Minister was wrong,and they have sufficient fuel to operate to next spring (shut down scheduled nov 22)

            1. 3.1.1.1.1.1

              "But the boss of German energy company RWE, the operator of one of the remaining reactors in the fleet, told the Die Welt daily it was “too late”.

              Security issues as well as the limited availability of fuel rods created hurdles to keep the plants going beyond the end of the year, he said."

              "The German government said on Sunday it would pass emergency laws to reopen mothballed coal plants for electricity generation and auction gas supplies to industry to incentivise businesses to curb consumption. The move illustrated the depth of concern in Berlin over possible gas shortages in the winter months."

                1. 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1

                  I doubt that the germans would shun a nuclear extension (certainly ahead of brown coal) if there were not compelling reasons not to….ideology goes out the window when push comes to shove.
