Quotation from Quintillian, I believe (unless someone was fibbing about that too).

Old thread here:

Great new thread, thanks lion.
No words for any of it, really. Just feel like rocking in a corner.

www.theguardian.com/environment/climate-consensus-97-per-cent/2018/jul/30/america-spends-over-20bn-per-year-on-fossil-fuel-subsidies-abolish-them?CMP=share_btn_tw

'A report from Oil Change International (OCI) investigated American energy industry subsidies and found that in 2015–2016, the federal government provided $14.7bn per year to the oil, gas, and coal industries, on top of $5.8bn of state-level incentives (globally, the figure is around $500bn). And the report only accounted for production subsides, excluding consumption subsidies (support to consumers to lower the cost of fossil fuel use – another $14.5bn annually) as well as the costs of carbon and other fossil fuel pollutants.'

I'm having a break until Manafort Wednesday, but I found these wise words from above:

'Two prominent historians are leaving a public policy center at the University of Virginia in protest over its plan to hire a former aide to President Donald Trump, calling the aide, Marc Short, "complicit in the erosion of our civic discourse."

William I. Hitchcock and Melvyn P. Leffler announced Monday they are resigning from the Miller Center, a wing of the university focused on presidential history and public policy, over its hiring of Short, Trump’s former legislative affairs director. They remain tenured faculty in the university's history department.'

I wonder what 'faiths' will take them up on it?

AcrossthePond55 · 30/07/2018 22:12

I don’t won’t which faiths will want to be involved, I wonder what faiths will be allowed to be involved.

AcrossthePond55 · 30/07/2018 22:13

The first ‘won’t’ should be ‘wonder’.

cozietoesie · 30/07/2018 22:23

True. Sad

Thanks for all the links, I did get a red mist rise over Trump's assertion that he's done so much for reuniting illegal families and just have to link this pic which expresses exactly what I feel.

And can this be right, this link? Trump bypassing congress to cut capital gains tax by £100billion. I almost want him to do this in October... and pay the price..
