Asking for a recount or an audit isn ' t screaming cheater . It ' s asking to gather evidence to find the truth . It ' s Trump and his band of idiots that were screaming cheater without evidence . <| sep |> Burrito wrap . Simple and obvious , easy to explain . No excuse for this shit . <| sep |> This kind of thinking is bizarre . Why do you think this would be a net positive for the economy ? If it was , you wouldn ' t need to put in place government policy to support it it would simply happen . The entire point of these climate agreements is that the actual conversion from fossilfuel generation to noncarbon generation is expensive and inefficient , even with the latest technologies . You have to spend a lot more to get power out of solar or wind than you do out of coal or oil or natural gas even nuclear ' s still a little more expensive . Installing these things won ' t be beneficial to the economy . Sure , there are some jobs to be had , in the sense that if every house in a city burned down , you ' d have some new jobs rebuilding houses but the expense is going to exceed the benefit and the difference is going to come directly out of people ' s standard of living . That doesn ' t necessarily hold true if we develop new technologies that allow us to generate more efficiently . But the US ' s participation in the Paris treaty doesn ' t affect these one way or the other you can bet that companies will continue to work on these and that anyone who actually manages to build them will become absolutely stinkin ' rich from it . But it ' s not like this is a game of Civ , where one country will build the Efficient Solar world wonder and then nobody else gets the benefit even if it ' s developed in a German lab or a Chinese lab instead of an American one , we ' ll still enjoy the benefits . And it might well still be an American one we aren ' t knocking off our own research efforts , y ' know . Were you under the impression that there ' s secretly a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow here ? Or that the US is opting out because we ' re secretly a bunch of mustachetwirling comic book villains , going ha , suck on our carbon dioxide clouds , Mother Earth , and diiiiie ! I ' m not going to say that nobody argues with the logic you ' re picking on , but you can find someone to say something stupid about anything if you want to have a reasoned debate , it very much helps to understand the good arguments even for the other side , and from what you ' re saying , I ' m not sure you do .
