Climate Change: The End of NY's Ski Industry?

I think that if you are going to subsidize this stuff, you rig it so that a disproportionate percentage of the jobs go to coal country or areas where livelihoods depend on fossils fuel sales, to get buy in. People tend to be in favor of things that bring jobs to their town.

I am glad that you guys are supporting AOC's Green New Deal, though:

Take your politics and shove it right up your ass

You kiss your guns with that mouth?

Follow the rules

No politics

You have a problem

When did you become such a goodie goodie following the rules.

I'll admit I break plenty of rules.

One I don't break, out of respect, is no politics.

Like it or not the environment is often a political topic. It would be hard to ban everything from the OT that could go political.

I think we all know when we are pushing something in that direction.

When the governor does something ski related you don't like, say it was a stupid idea, and leave your opinion of his political affiliation out of it.

It seemed like many were in support of dropping politicrap.  Now I need your help to follow through.

Respectfully, you just seem to like whining, and since you can't whine about Colin Kaepernick, you have adopted another avenue for whining.

Talk about the issue or don't, but in my mind, whining about (completely appropriate and relevant) politics talk is worse than actual politics talk.

If you don't feed it, it won't flourish. The stock market thread went directly back to stocks and this thread will go pretty quickly back to climate change & NY skiing conversation if you let it.

You might have to restrain yourself from whining, though, so that's probably impossible.

That wasn't whining

That was directly telling you to take your political BS and shove it.

I thought that was pretty clear.

You & Harv were talking about a jobs program to go along with a green revolution, I said there actually is such a plan, then you started whining.

To me, it seemed pretty clear what happened.

Again, I told you to take your political shit and shove it up your ass.

And I'll do it again

And again

Camp, you spent so many years cultivating your "carefree, lovable, gentle giant" persona on here and now you want to throw it all away because I mentioned a jobs program?

Pretty sad, bud. I expected more from you.

“The personal is political”.

Not sure how you avoid it on a regional skiing message board for a place where the state is a major player in the ski biz. It’s part of the fabric.

Camp got sensitive because mc implied (tongue firmly in cheek) that camp supported AOC.

I, for one, miss politicrap. Perhaps I’m the only one?

Had you just mentioned "jobs", fine. You had to toss in there AOC. Had we been in the PC thread I would've said aren't we running out of time? I mean we must be down to just 1.5yrs by now before the world ends.

Don't spin this on me cupcake

Just stop it, please.

One way in which you've gotten worse, camp, is that you just can't let things roll off your back like you used to. You're coming back to a stupid conversation over & over like snoloco when someone tells him that lift speed isn't important.

Maybe you don't want to smell even a whiff of politics because you feel like your brand of politics is losing? And you don't like being reminded of that?

Either way, I still like you, ya big lug. Come on over for cookies & lemonade sometime.

I hate to be the one to break this to you but nobody wins in politics.

Camp,
Matt is a dick with a capital Peaker head. Harv is up to his A hole in problems and so he picks this exact time to start throwing in politics. If Harvs poor wife were passed Matt would be pissing on her grave just so he could get his trolling fix.
