Wait, does that guy really look like this or has it been edited

[–] skozzii@lemmy.ca 7 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I love how he is asking for a second chance as they continue to make a mess of things and show no signs of any change...

Desperation is a stinky cologne

[–] mkwt@lemmy.world 57 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Where the heck are those "I did that" stickers?

[–] Cheebus@lemmy.world 78 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Gas stations keep ripping mine off. It’s only okay when MAGA does it because they are hypocritical baby snowflakes

[–] cardboardboxfort@lemmy.world 45 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Goes Banksy style. Make some small templates and spray paint the meme onto the pumps.

[–] Malica@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

I like this level of petty

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You gotta put one of those mattress tags on it, then they legally can’t remove it.

[–] Cheebus@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

finally a good fucking idea around here

[–] RestrictedAccount@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You probably aren’t using stickers with permanent adhesive the way the MAGAts do

[–] Duranie@leminal.space 32 points 1 day ago (3 children)

From experience picking them off gas pumps - the shitty quality stickers are really hard to tear off because they rip tiny bits off at a time. The higher quality stickers hold together better, so they peel off easier.

Be sure to buy the shittiest stickers you can.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 17 hours ago

the adhesives on the crappy ones seems stronger too.

So buy American then?

[–] kurwa@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Gotta use those stickers they precut so it's a bitch to rip off

We should indeed thank the US government for pushing the migration to BEVs and regenerative energy so much.
Measures seem to be more effective than anything any government has done before.
BEV sales a soaring, and here in Germany heat-pumps suddenly seem finally to be seen as the better alternative by most now, while they still had been widely disputed just a year ago.

Strategy of the US seems a bit confusing to me, though.
On the one hand denying climate change, on the other hand starting the biggest, most costly, and most successful initiative to make fossil fuels unattractive and push green transformation.

[–] RestrictedAccount@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago (3 children)

The US strategy is simple

We are being led by a Russian asset who has surrounded himself with sycophants.

If you want to know EXACTLY what Trump is going to do in any situation, just ask yourself how much of Putin’s agenda can he get away with and you will be right 100% of the time.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 17 hours ago

by isolating the US, is helps Russia's FOREIGN inteference better.

[–] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I'd wager the Arab League (Saudi Arabia, Qatar the jet bringer, etc.) has a lot more influence than Russia. Seriously, it's pretty obvious, they are not hiding it. Russia is, if anything, a diversion at best.

It's not that he won't take money from Russia, it's just that the League has so much more to "donate". Russian oligarchs are comparatively small potatoes.

[–] Multiplexer@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No, I don't think this explains it in this case.
Russia heavily relies on the export of fossil fuels, so they will lose a lot in the long run following the US's surprising violent push for fostering world-wide use of green energy.

[–] RestrictedAccount@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I’m a little confused

Trump is paying billions of dollars (of our money) to get wind projects currently under construction to stop

He has killed all of the government subsidies available for him to kill that support EVs and green energy

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 17 hours ago

also killed most STEM grants/funding too.

[–] Goodeye8@piefed.social 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

It's confusing because you're looking for some logic or rationale. It stops being confusing when you realize Trump is an idiot who does what he wants without any consideration for any bigger picture and he's easily impressionable which makes it easy to manipulate what he "wants" to do.

There is no logic here, there's only a moron with too much power.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I’ll never understand why the entire HVAC industry still hates heat pumps so much. Also why they charge double the price like it’s some exotic technology.

I know why they charge too high prices here in Germany at least:

1.) Too many and much too strict regulations you have to follow and which specifically call for experts to install this kind of stuff -> the experts are a rare commodity and set the prices.
2.) Heat pumps are subsidized. And like with any subsidy, the money doesn't make the product cheaper, but increases the profit of the seller, who just raises the price accordingly.

What I don't see here is that the heating contractors hate heat pumps.
On the contrary: They earn good money because of all the retrofits and new installations (see previous points...)

Green initiatives (ones that work and ones that don't) will only be popular with the right when someone in the group is making profit from it. Follow the money. They aren't doing it for any of the right reasons.

You are right, but you might have missed the implicit '/s' in my comment... ;-)

Gore tried that with carbon credits.

[–] Truthtwopower@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

That benefits everyone. He means when white christian males get the profit.

[–] AgentSeven@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

The oil companies and their billionaire oligarchs are making bank on this. Note that the Feds dropped the EV tax credit in the US and Chinese EVs cannot be sold in the US, and the picture will begin to come into focus. Also note that the best selling EVs in a country with artificially few options to choose from are manufactured by a company owned by... yes, a billionaire oligarch. The US is a Klepto-Oligarchy with a veneer of Democracy.

I'm so glad that this is the quote he will always be remembered for.

Those are some rookie numbers. Italy has already seen 3€/lt today in Milan. Can't wait to see my colleagues faces on Monday when they tell me about their experience in the gas station this weekend.

[–] then_three_more@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Ouch. I thought £1.70 (~€2) a litre was bad.
