    Do you think 'free market' people support owning slaves as well?

    Just trying to figure out how rigid this box you put people in really is...

    If one claims they are for free market, I put them in the box they claim.
    If one claims to be for subsidies to a well established industry, I think their claim to being for free markets is false.

    LOL... That's why we see so many teslas on the side of the road. Folks don't pay attention, and they run the cars all the way down. It actually means something when service isn't just around the corner. More, in less urban settings, finding a plug in is actually pretty hard.

    America is a capitalist country that is awash in oil and the petroleum industry for the most part supplies the world's energy including electricity. Electricity is not a resource it is a by product of fossil fuels and a small amount is nuclear generated. Without oil, coal or fissionable material the lights will go out. Solar and wind have proven to be a bust sooooo what to do???? By 2070 or so oil will dry up, we all know this and so does everyone invested in it and they will squeeze every last nickel out of petroleum, damned capitalists, right? Wrong, capitalism, especially under pressure is the source of all innovation and is hard at it to solve this problem, the "Green" folks not so much. They're mostly blowing rainbows out their arses with electric cars, solar and wind. Your electric hummer will suffer the same fate of all hummers. I suspect the petroleum companies are leaning toward a nuclear alternative and will slowly divert money to that.

    Indeed, he's definitely got a good shot at flipping it this time around... I do think it'll be quite close, but I think that Trump will end up flipping it...

    Early data in the suburbs and the iron range are looking rather good for Trump, which should push him over the edge there...
