The best way to fight climate change - stop importing people from low carbon footprint countries into countries where they consume 10x the amount of resources and fossil fuel energy.

The best way is to restructure our power and transportation industries. As it is the free market is moving them to cleaner sources already.

I admire your naivety, Sam.

I am willing to work in a world without absolutes. Sure we do not have ideal free markets, but we do have practical free markets. We also have black markers.

The free market allocates resources in the most efficient, cost effective, and environmentally friendly way. The government is the biggest polluter in the world.

I don't blame you, as you are mentally retarded.... I meant that the free market does not exist (currently).

No absolute or ideal forms of anything exist. To expect ideals and absolutes in reality will only ever hold you back though. We must deal with reality instead of how we want things.
replied 2489d
It's not about ideals. We don't have anything remotely close to a free market.

Why would you say it is not even close to a free market? By what in particular are you judging it?
replied 2390d
Look at global trade. The Western Empire controls the all the markets. There is no free market, unless the US collapses and no other power hijacks the market after them.
replied 2390d
There is no markets with zero control, sure. That does not mean there isn't a free market though. If you can only have idealism, or nothing, then expect a life with nothing.

Darknet markets and OB can be considered free markets, but they are a niche currently.
replied 2390d
Even black markets can not be considered free markets since they have to operate outside the law. If they didn't have product seized so often then they might be closer to a free market

I would lie if I claimed that this kind of mental retardation did not provide entertainment for me.

You can't deny that mass immigration into opulent nations is horrible for the environment...
replied 2489d
Yes, everything is the fault of immigrants and immigration, including your pathetic life. ;)

Lol of course they did, it's highly likely they were indentured servants looking for a paid way to a better life.

The funny part is "indentured servant" is a euphemism for slave
replied 2489d
Only 50% did! And many voluntarily chose ind. servitude! Modern third world immigrants just get free stuff!

You're starting to go off-script, of course they chose indentured servitude. Because they were looking for a *paid way to a better life* lol. How is that different than free stuff?
replied 2489d
Because they worked for their money, instead of receiving tax money that is extorted by force from hard working citizens!
