We were young and stupid too.

No, not like that.

Speeding is far more likely to cause injury, death, and property damage than shoplifting.  Yet the wealthy -who can pay tickets easily- downplay it.

You never speed in your gas guzzler?

Once, going 40 in a 30 zone, a minor infringement caught by a waiting policeman on a downslope. Another occasion I got measured by a waiting policeman in the same type of situation, but I braked before he clicked the measurement gun and he waved me on when I tried to pull over to get the ticket, he called out "You're lucky!"

You comparing that to violent break and enter?

I've done a good portion of this list! haha.  I got one ticket for public intoxication.

Depending on the jurisdiction, examples of misdemeanors may include: petty theft, prostitution, public intoxication, simple assault, disorderly conduct, trespass, shoplifting, vandalism, reckless driving, indecent exposure, and possession of cannabis for personal use.

I don't see violent looting on that list, but it looks like they are scaling back in California and forbidding anyone from interfering with a violent looting in progress.

Up the Revolution!

Violent B&E wasn't on that list of changes.  So no.

Vigilantism has long been frowned upon.  Report the crime.

Sounds like you have experienced a very troubled childhood, or unable to take direction. I assume both run deep in your personality.

Here is the epitome of self-destructive energy policy in a panic-driven mindless rush to help the Climate.

https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/Will-Shapiros-Energy-Strategy-Plunge-Pennsylvania-Into-Darkness.html

"“Here in the Commonwealth, we are embracing the advantages that cheaper, lower carbon fuel sources offer,” Shapiro wrote in a letter to the management of PJM Interconnection, the non-profit which maintains the electric grid for Pennsylvania and a dozen other states.

The governor was referring to wind and solar power, which aren’t cheaper than traditional fossil fuel plants and can, in some cases, increase overall carbon emissions. In short, they add costs for consumers and undermine reliability. This scenario has played out dramatically in places like Europe and California, where power outages and soaring prices are undisputed facts."

Fossil Fuel Subsidies Surged to Record $7 Trillion

Scaling back subsidies would reduce air pollution, generate revenue, and make a major contribution to slowing climate change

Too funny! 

"Fossil-fuel subsidies surged to a record $7 trillion last year as governments supported consumers and businesses during the global spike in energy prices caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the economic recovery from the pandemic."

Come on people, give the blind guy some razing for his complete stupidity!

You love government fossil fuel subsidies.  Yet say things like this:

"That is how the economy works, friend, if an industry fails in one location putting hard-earned tax dollars into subsidizing it in the wrong location is a waste of money."

 

Let the industry fail yet again...

a world mired in debt and chaos....yep and now we know where it is all wasted on...........the article did not even mention how much spent on militaries to protect all the oil assets...What do you think US? 300 ...? 400? billion a year in the US  for the past 20 years just for the Middle East???

and not a penny on safeguarding the wind or sun........

 

Wars have been fought over oil yet none for the sun........

 

 

The IISD said it had calculated that the world's 20 largest economies had spent a record-breaking $1.4 trillion on state support for the coal, oil and gas industry in 2022. The author of the calculations, Tara Laan, said, "These figures are a stark reminder of the massive amounts of public money G20 governments continue to pour into fossil fuels--despite the increasingly devastating impacts of climate change."

Inventories call the tune in markets, signaling the need for production increases or decreases.

https://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/Surprise-Crash-In-Crude-Inventories-Sends-Oil-Prices-Higher.html

"The American Petroleum Institute (API) has reported a massive 11.486-million-barrel draw in U.S. crude inventories, compared with the previous week's 2.418-million-barrel draw as the markets weigh China's economic activity against U.S. crude inventories.

Analysts were expecting an inventory draw of 2.9 million barrels for the week."

Yeah, mostly poor, unethical, and highly polluted nations.

Perhaps set your standards higher than China, India or developing nations?  Or should we mimic the poor because it is most cost effective? 

If you wish to live in filth you could always move.  Clearly -with your vast knowledge of economics- you are profoundly wealthy, you could essentially buy some peasants!

California is not the leader in any transition, no one seems to be following the lead they have given on EVs,

https://www.jdpower.com/cars/shopping-guides/what-percent-of-us-car-sales-are-electric

"Electric vehicles account for less than 1% of the 250 million vehicles, SUVs, and light-duty trucks sold in the United States. Because only around 17 million new cars are being built each year, changing the vehicles from gas-powered to electric will be a long process, especially as far as the government is concerned."
