Before the testosterone treatment, we found that weakly affiliated Democrats had 19% higher basal testosterone than those who identified strongly with the party (p=0.015). When weakly affiliated Democrats received additional testosterone, the strength of their party fell by 12% (p=.01) and they reported 45% warmer feelings towards Republican candidates for president (p < 0.001). Our results demonstrate that testosterone induces a “red shift" among weakly-affiliated Democrats. This effect was associated with improved mood. No effects were found of testosterone administration for strongly affiliated Democrats or strong or weak Republicans. Our findings provide evidence that neuroactive hormones affect political preferences." Get your T levels checked old men. Testosterone levels drop significantly with old age and increases in body fat. The result is a feminine male that votes Democrat My testosterone level is fine. Tiny study, 138 subjects. Author discusses alternative explanations in conclusion. but very high T is associated with violent criminals in many studies. someone should draw levels on the J6 traitors. in the meantime, check your cognitive ability https://planspace.org/20220101-try_the_gss_wordsum_questions/ Edited April 29 by Joe Ferguson forever

Carbon tax is a good way to deal with negative externalities of pollution. Firms are free to pollute, they just gotta pay more. Or, they can choose to upgrade their equipment. I am a fan of congestion pricing for the same reason. There is a difference between artificially restricting what can be sold in a country and ensuring the production does not cause harm.

It won't be just industrial polluters. It will be everybody else from farmers, home owners running a furnace and AC unit, people charging their EVs from the public grid, and anybody gassing up their vehicle and blowing out CO emissions.

Orlando Buffalo Posted April 29 Posted April 29 I fully support Canadas right to choose their own leaders how ever they want to do it. I will state if things don't change quickly in Canada though they will truly become a country that does not matter in the global marketplace. I have read multiple places that only 1% of Canadian households make more than $125k American after taxes( you have to make more than 250k Candian to reach that) . That number is about 12% in the US and the spread has been increasing. They are falling behind and seem ok with that.

It's actually really really hard to move there whereas under Biden you could just walk across our border. I have a friend that was dating a girl in college that lived in Toronto and she moved back after school and he was trying to move there and marry her but it was such a difficult process that he gave up and they broke up. So the Socialists will say it's racist to close our border but they won't let you through theirs, go figure!

Now there is a face for the enemy for his supporters to all rally around. Think of how powerful that is to completely sway another country's election. I can't believe they fell for it. There are many aspects of the Trump presidency that are admirable. I believe his ability to face down and overcome almost insurmountable odds is the stuff of legends, and if he's ultimately successful books will be written about his strength and resolve. I think you're overestimating him for pre-planning the eventual fall of our neighbors to the north. If I'm being completely honest, I would prefer this sort of irrelevant rhetoric be directed at true enemies of freedom than at one of our allies. On the other hand, if you're correct and there is a grand plan here to undermine Canadian leadership, there are far better ways to communicate the message point than that we're going to absorb the country into ours. It's unnecessary. 2

Carbon tax is a scheme to move money from the group who has it, to those who want it. The absurd notion that some of the climate hypocrisy deniers put forth---that they can offset their pollution by paying to pollute is just one such example of abject stupidity. If the world is at a tipping point, "firms who pollute" should be dealt with harshly, efficiently, and with a strong message to those that might one day pollute. Come to think of it--your complicity in the destruction of our climate should be noted. I'm writing it down on the back of an envelope that included some junk mail.

It’s an incentive to not pollute or get different equipment. If you comply, you don’t pay the tax. It’s easy!

Again, it’s your contention that the world is at the point of no return, not mine. The fact that plantation owners paid for slaves doesn’t change the fact that it was morally, spiritually and ethically repugnant. You supporting a “pay to pollute” scheme reveals the main problem with the movement—screaming from the mountain top that the end of the world is nigh while living a consumption-based lifestyle that clearly flies in contrast with your message points.
