the conservatives won the courts already and biden has no climate policy. what apocolypse are we avoiding with Biden? Going down pretending like nothing is happening instead of going down screaming ? This election is the last shot of Melancholia.
Because under Biden people like Biden/Markey can at least attempt to get climate legislation passed. Trump is actively trying to prevent California from setting it's own environmental standards. Recently California banned the sale of ICE cars in 2035, which will have a national impact. That's something I expect a Trump administration to challenge in court.
California blaming its lack of progress on Trump is too Pelosi for my liking. You know Newsom loves playing beat em up with the republicans. Those libs don't enjoy actually engaging with the more progressive populace. That makes for nasty wine galas
I'm honestly not tripping about liberal bourgeois Californian's moving to Texas so that they can afford a house. We might get legal weed out of it. Maybe they'll even clean up our beaches.
I'm not referring to a incident where a California politician blamed the Trump administration for anything. But I'm saying that letting California set emissions standards for car will impact cars emissions positvely
Yeah I get that. I'm saying that California can set its own standards for cars whenever it wants. Just like Nancy could introduce good bills instead of dogshit airline bailouts whenever she wants.
It's not Trump that stops California (or Biden for that matter). It's California itself.
Like if Uber doesn't want to get rid of ICE by 2035, then California just...won't.
I’m saying that California can set its own standards for cars whenever it wants.
California has been doing that since the 60s. The 1970 Clear Air Act let's California specifically set it's own emission standards that are stricter than the nations since it was the only state with regulations at the time. 12 other states adopt these regulations, and automakers generally follow them since they don't want to make different models of cars for different states.
"The Trump Administration is revoking California’s Federal Waiver on emissions in order to produce far less expensive cars for the consumer, while at the same time making the cars substantially SAFER," Trump tweeted Wednesday morning, noting that the move will lead to "older, highly polluting cars" being replaced by "new, extremely environmentally friendly cars."
"The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and major automakers on Monday confirmed they had finalized binding agreements to cut vehicle emissions in the state, defying the Trump administration’s push for weaker curbs on tailpipe pollution.
The agreements with carmakers, including Ford Motor Co, Volkswagen AG VOWG_p.DE, Honda Motor Co and BMW AG, were first announced in July 2019 as voluntary measures, prompting anger from U.S. President Donald Trump. A month later, the Justice Department opened an antitrust probe of the agreements, only to end it without action."
Which is why I'm saying that Biden literally just leaving California alone will have a positive impact on auto emissions.
We don't seem to disagree -- I'm just not sure why you see that as Trump doing anything. You have it right there - CA is doing whatever it wants to do. It's entering into the same contracts it would have had to anyways. Having them labeled as "defiance" versus "blank" seems to be the only meaningful distinction you're raising.
I fail to see any impact on auto emissions comparing Biden against Trump. As I said, the barriers to CA completely adopting green policies is itself (and by extension, capitalism). Biden/Trump doesn't change that imo
Because the Trump administration took away the ability for California to set it's own auto emissions standards in 2019. That certainly is Trump doing something, no? California is currently trying to get companies to voluntarily agree to certain targets, which is less than idea. It does not cover every auto manufacturer

Why are you saying this when I'm giving you an example of the federal government limiting what the California state government can do
an example of the federal government limiting what the California state government can do
What can't California do? It's setting its own standards through binding agreements with state auto makers. I'm not seeing what Trump or the feds have limited here.
I had crippling treatment resistant depression my whole life, now I feel well-adjusted for the first time. Who wants to sit under this stick teepee with me
I constructed a life with my SO that sort of only works when I'm working 60-80 hours a week and often out of town. It doesn't go to well when I'm at home just chilling.

what's Melancholia
California blaming its lack of progress on Trump is too Pelosi for my liking. You know Newsom loves playing beat em up with the republicans. Those libs don't enjoy actually engaging with the more progressive populace. That makes for nasty wine galas
California libs: Trump has ruined California, I'm moving to Texas.
I don't think that relates to what I was talking about, which was like auto emissions standards. That's not why people move
I'm honestly not tripping about liberal bourgeois Californian's moving to Texas so that they can afford a house. We might get legal weed out of it. Maybe they'll even clean up our beaches.
I almost moved to Texas but I ended up bombing that interview and found something in California
That was a good move. I'd rather be homeless in California than scraping by in Texas.

This is not the case. The Trump administration removed California's ability to to this last year. California was setting standards from 1961-2019
California is currently pushing for stricter restrictions despite this
Which is why I'm saying that Biden literally just leaving California alone will have a positive impact on auto emissions.

Is that like the thing where Brace Beldon and Tom Sexton said they felt great during quarantine when everyone else was losing their shit?

Melancholia (2011)
The referenced scene.
It’s easier to imagine the end of the world than to imagine the end of capitalism.
we could be at brunch right now!
