Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

1 it's not his money. He didn't pay anything.
2 he should be saying our counties legislative system will make the Dali's insurance pay for the damages and/or ask Congress to set laws that restrict any shipping vessel large enough to cause such damages carry insurance that can pay for the full extent of their damages or they aren't able to ship to our ports.
That would up shipping costs, sure. But isn't that what his administration wants, less international trade and forcing the country to become less dependent on foreign countries?
Oops oil, coal, gas costs went up, and long term it yet again would be cheaper for local renewable energy. As 40% of shipping is just bringing oil/coal/gas from one port to another. When the solar panels are in your state, county, city, neighborhood, or on your property, "shipping costs" drop drastically.
Someone crashed into a power line, entire blocks/neighborhoods could go down, except if those solar panels are on your roof, maybe just switch to your batteries and have localized power till the power comes back on, then switch it back to the grid. Tornado destroys 5 houses, bring what you need to your neighbors after and still have a refrigerator and air conditioning while you sort out what to do next in heat that's only getting worse.
The people who think that people aren't accelerating global warming still usually accept the idea that the planet is getting warmer.
