This is what I don't get. In Michigan, our coal plants have closed and are being replaced by natural gas. Not the ideal solution, but better than before.

You can't force coal on the public, especially cost-conscious industries, any more than you can force me to buy a buggy whip.

Myself, I don't think I'll be spending eternity (or what's left of it?!) doing much more than being dead. But if it turns out there is a hell, there's a special place in it for Mr. Murray. With special sauce.

Fun Fact: The Mad Hatter went mad from mercury poisoning. Have I mentioned lately how much I hate all these Bleeping Bleeps?

He knows the cost of everything, and the value of nothing. We’re just a bunch of useless eaters.

He's so right though - no amount of education or experience gave me the confidence that lifting did, there is a certain serenity that comes from knowing that you've tested the limits of your own body and willpower and won.It also puts pain in perspective - it doesn't matter how shitty my day is, I can choose to idly wallow in unhappiness which helps nothing, or I can put my shoes on, kick my own ass into being better than I was yesterday and make those endorphins earn their keep. He's a wise dude.

"Coal-fired power plants are the largest U.S. source of mercury, a metal that is converted in soil and water into a neurotoxin that can lower IQ, cause motor function deficits, damage the nervous system..."

In other words, mercury helps increase the numbers of Fox viewers and Republican voters.

Gots to kill off the poors. Climate change is gonna shrink the usable landmass and there just won't be enough food to feed 7 bill people, let alone space for them to live. Make them breathe toxins, take away their healthcare, send them to die in pointless wars, and make sure they hate brown and black poors lest all the poors unite and drag the rich to you know where.

The only thing we have going for us is that we can still tell that this is absolute nihilistic lunacy. Imagine being these wannabe supervillain mfs that want to blow up the planet that they are standing on!
