Can you imagine creating nuclear power without the support of government. Or closing coal mines without a YES from the government? Then ecology is a political thing.

Replacing the old resources with new ones is just part of the deal. Hell, McDonalds sells meat-free burgers "that taste just like meat" but comes from plants. The money stays the same but someone else makes them. Shutting down coal mines results in wind farms making money instead. The problem is, replacing crude oil will be difficult. Without oil. the entire Middle East is just one giant desert with nothing else to sell to the world. The Venezuelan oil is controlled by Russians & Chinese already.

Industry used to be dominated by trade unions. Margaret Thatcher didn't want to blow up the coal system as much as she wanted to struck down the trade unionists which were a major political force one way or another. I'm not even gonna mention the organized crime that gets involved in these trade unions here and there. The downfall of the industrial steel & coal market is a massive gain for ANY politician so of course they will support the eco nonsense. Not for the sake of the planet (boo hoo) but for their own good. Trade unions as a society tool to put pressure on politics has basically evaporated in XXI century.

As everything now needs to be controlled by different laws and law is always made by politicians (at least they need to vote for it) every case is political and every protest is called "political" this way.

"Needs"? Says who? Unless you just follow the same bullshit as everyone? I've said before, politicians, journalists and clergymen want to control the masses. They're doing so for centuries. So, whom do you follow personally?

One psycho said the trees will grow back from fire as grass do. Another psycho said that fires in Australia are a God's punishment for legalizing the homosexual marriages. While a psycho-bishop called "ecologism" a "dangerous doctrine against the Bible".

Oh yeah, but whoever listens to that idiot Jedrzejewski? It's such a waste of time. The only people who listen to him are the ones who want to use these words for own political purpose. Environementalism has became political decades ago and negative campaign is obviously standard in politics all across the board.

Obviously bushfires in Australia are political as well

What's that supposed to mean?

That means even eco-maniacs and their ideas won't stop natural fires from happening going forward.

It's now one of the largest in recorded history.

So? I bet in 250 years wildfires will keep happening again and again The eco-maniacs sell a lie that moving away from coal and crude oil will supposedly stop the climate change. I call that BS. Nature will always get the better of human influence.

Venezuela’s economy failed because of systemic corruption that lead to violent protests. Plus the socialist part failed to fully modernize the country and never varied it’s economical sectors enough. 
 

On rare occasion I agree with Trump. I’m not pro-trade war, but I really don’t see any other options besides trying to crash their economy or crash ours so badly it kills them (which obviously wouldn’t work because it’d damage us too much).

I’m not going to debate that I did, but when did I exactly?

In October 2019 Hell, Cold War 2.0 is a rare occasion you agree with Trump so yeah, this fits right within your script!

Well, you wanted the return of Cold War @Olympian1010 so Trump threatening to escalate the heat in Middle East fits right within your wishes

We can always transfer an athlete back into the team once he/she returns into action, right?

NFC Wild Card games:

New Orleans Saints 20 Minnesota Vikings 26 (after overtime). Drew Brees picked a bad time for his worst game of the season, he wasn't even the best Saints QB on the field. It seems like Saints SB window is closed.

Philadelphia Eagles 9 Seattle Seahawks 17. Carson Wentz avoided injury all season long and gets taken out by a nasty hit on the second drive. Duh! 40 year old Josh McCown could only muster three FGs and got sacked a lot. It was painful to watch this offense.

AFC Wild Card games:

Houston Texans 22 Buffalo Bills 19 (after overtime). Josh Allen is light years removed from winning a playoff game. Bills controlled the game for 40 minutes but scored only 16 points and blew a 16-0 lead. DeShaun Watson produced a Eli Manning sack-avoding move to set up the GW-field goal in overtime.

New England Patriots 13 Tennessee Titans 20. The Evil Empire appears to be done. This could have been Tom Brady's last game in New England.

Noel wins, Zehnhausern misses out by 0,07! Vinatzer 3rd then Myhrer and Marchand!

Pinturault 9th, Kristoffersen 19th.

Matt DNF so Vinatzer on the podium!

Kranjec ties Kristoffersen's time... in slalom!

Vinatzer finally takes Marchand. 7 skiers left.

He's been restored into the standings now.

If you don't have what you like, you like what you have . Yesterday and for several days Grzegorz Jędrzejewski from Polsat will replace him, because Gac got delegations and reports from the place of events.

I prefer Andrzej Mielczarek whom I've first heard doing F1 highlights for TVP in the early 90s. I suspect Mielczarek & Gac are still doing WTCR together for Eurosport now?

Honestly? I have no idea but I will ask a friend who sits in these TV rights and knows where what and how.
I appealed to Germany because Grzegorz Gac (Polish Eurosport commentator and Polish chronicle voice from this rally) https://twitter.com/GrzegorzGGac/status/1212545982061273094

Great shame for Kuba, second year with a gearbox problem. On the plus side, Aron Domżała's great attitude so far, which surprises me in SSV .

I remember Grzegorz Gac from way back in the 90s. He's been quite annoying as commentator for some time

I wonder what the other 63+ million people in the UK think. In most of northern England - Newcastle may be an exception - rugby union isn't even the most popular form of rugby. If football is the UK's national winter sport, cricket is the national summer sport.

He said he doesn't even like rugby either. I can only speculate if cricket is more popular in some England areas than others?

Hey, I know who is Zmarzlik I know 8/10 of your laureates but I have to admit that I never heard about Leon and Ponitka

Well, speedway used to be more popular south of the border some years ago but Czech Republic still hosts one of the Grand Prix rounds. One of the Czech speedway riders said everyone wants to be in the Polish league because it's the highest paid place available. The Danish and Swedish leagues don't offer so much money and the English league is basically on life support with more clubs folding every now and then.

As for reports on Eurosport, despite the fact that the results will be known, etc., the accounts will continue as chronicles around 23. I personally regret this, because I miss live inserts, e.g. from the finish line. As I read the statements of Polish Eurosport journalists, it is related to the fact that Eurosport is an international station and, for example, the German-language version is best watched at this time.

Is Bundesliga still broadcasted on Eurosport?

It sure helps a lot of winter sports where Germany usually excells has Eurosport coverage.

Back to Dakar, Jakub Przygonski lasted all of 146 km before his gearbox broke

It sure helps Denmark is literally one of three countries in the world where speedway is remotely relevant

I’ve come to decision that I’ll be supporting Sanders in the primaries. He is our only hope.

The guy has a bigger chance of dying in office than beating Trump IMO

Speaking more seriously, the more things change the more they stay the same. All the progressive talk. candidates of color yadda yadda and the best chance to beat an old white guy has another old white guy? That's brand new information!

I told ya before, Dems need to find the next Clinton or Obama. I'm not even gonna mention the next JFK because that's totally off the mark (not to mention he's still the only Catholic elected President, right?). I read some left-wing journalists saying Dems can't fall into a trap of trying to find the next Obama. Hell, that's totally wrong but the thing is, appeasing the minorities can't come at the expense of appeasing the actual majority! Take for granted all you want (inc. the blacks or Latinos) BUT in democracy it's still the majority that wins. Just how costly was losing the Rust Belt for crooked Hilary last time out? If the blue collars vote GOP, the Dems and officially screwed.
