The public service commercials I see regularly haven't changed in years. Does that answer your question? Ad agencies typically don't get ongoing royalties for that sort of thing, no matter how often they're shown.
Ya know, sometimes the antinukers have a point that they don't mention explicitly because they shouldn't have to if the audience is intelligent enough. This is the point: Politicians will approve just about ANYTHING if someone lines their pockets sufficiently. For all we know, Yucca Mountain could be sitting on top of an enormous aquifer that nobody's tapped yet. We'd never know it until Western states decided to tap into it and found it was contaminated.
I went to Google just to be a smart ass and say they don't know. Turns out they do know.
Like I said....enough money.....
Local town & city councils are the training grounds for bribery. This is where they learn to approve little things like shopping plazas that nobody wants or needs, or more famous disasters like Rochester's fast ferry debacle, which was to transport "all those tourists" back & forth to Toronto. Problem: No business plan, no surveys to find out if there were customers who'd use the service. Result: Went belly up in less than two years. Both customers rode the ferry a few times, and the thrill was gone. But, it was approved because politicians were paid to approve it. No venture capitalist would work this way, but they're smarter, and their own money is involved.
If you think the same types of politicians don't get involved with projects that could kill people, you are high.
Agreed.
I know, I know... Independent thought is NOT a good thing to those that would control others.
(I am so VERY pleased that leftists regularly espouse their socialist beliefs. It's important that they continue to do so. Carry on.)
Where is that?
Do you believe it would have been used, voluntarily, at >50% capacity?
Although I don't know for sure, I suspect they are. Obviously, I hope they are.
The typical core containment makes, by comparison, the Pentagon appear to have been built of straw.
Especially after 9/11, if a flight strays too close to a nuke, all hell breaks loose. If the flight doesn't deviate from its apparent collision path, the nuke operator can do an emergency shutdown, ramming the control rods back into the core pretty quickly. Even if the containment were seriously breached by a direct hit, the reactor vessel would probably survive intact.
What was THAT all about?
A good point. I guess one would wish to avoid getting within a few, hundred yards of the pool without a zoomie suit. Further away if they are exposed.
This is another good reason to get Yucca Mountain on-line and start the shipments. Of course, the ponytail and necktie crowd are poised and waiting to file their suits. Lawyers in love.
Or has ever had to have a car repaired.
Or in my case, I don't want to be a fat f*ck like 90% of america who never walk further than the distance to their car in the driveway and have the car motor their fat ass all over town. I take the bus to work and bike 12 miles home. My wife and I are a one car household and I don't miss having two car payments and all the other expenses.
For god's sake, why? Because "we" elected, twice, a President not of your choosing? We were attacked on 9/11? We've begun two wars? What else could it be?
I am as optimistic and happy, overall, as I have ever been. I was even this way when Clinton frittered away 8 years in the oval orifice.
However, if Hillary is elected, it's a fair bet that my positive outlook on life will be somewhat mitigated.
Vote early. Vote often.
Agreed.
If someone can convince me that disposing of spent CFLs in the general waste stream is significantly environmentally detrimental, I'll collect mine (what few I use) and take them to a collection site.
That is, of course, unless I am charged more than a dollar or two to leave them. In such a case, I will return home with my bucket of dead CFLs and dole them into the household trash, one or two a week, until they are gone.
In the 1970s, a nuclear plant was built in Shoreham, Long Island. On this map, that's right about where Wading River is, on the North Shore:
Happiness and trust are two separate issues. For me, at least. I'm very much at peace with knowing that all politicians were created for me to piss on.
Walk? Like....with your feet? What happens if there's a mild breeze and the temperature drops to 58 degrees? My god, man. You could die.
Hey, don't blame the gentry too much until our vaunted officials get THEIR sh*t together.
Our community had a (rare) full-spectrum "clean-up" a few years ago. They took lead acid batteries, paint, solvents and other mean, evil chemicals.
I took in some gallon cans of old latex paint and some unused (left over) oil-based deck stain. I also took in about a half gallon of concentrated Chlordane. Now THAT is some "good" (bad) stuff. I understand that Bambi STILL doesn't live anywhere near its Florida test site.
I also took in my old 15-inch computer CRT display.
Much to my surprise, there was no special handling of it: Place it over there in the 40-cu-yard, roll-off dumpster. The thing went to the landfill.
I have since introduced into the general waste stream a couple, more CRTs.
If I can LEGALLY and "properly" dispose of them in that manner, I am unlikely to PAY additionally for another party to take them off my hands. Heck, it would probably get dumped on some third world country anyway.
What does socialism have to do with mass transportation? You wouldn't be misusing the word "socialist" because someone told you to, would you? As far as "leftist", you never saw me type anything which indicated I was left-leaning. If you disagree, please quote that text in your next message.

That's not relevant to the question about whether anyone would've been forced to use it.
Agreed.
In my case, I was well aware of the gas-guzzling reputation of the big block V8 I bought. I'm not complaining. Of course, if the pickup had to do more than 3.6 miles, one way, to-and-from work, I'm sure it would go away in favor of a less expensive vehicle.
Then I'd have to sell the travel trailer. Oh, the horror... the horror!
Geez, Joe. That's the SECOND time you've fallen asleep when confronted with logic and fact. How sophomoric.
Joke if you will, but it's amazing what bad shape many Americans are in.
I have NEVER understood travel trailers. For less than the money people sink into them, they could probably stay at the Four Seasons.
ARGH!! [ROFL]
Your "humility" is astounding. Talent on loan from God! Hehehehehe!
