So according to your article, they had an entirely different plan using different programs and funding (though focused on the same issues).Sorry Democrats, the Green Party Came Up With the Green New Deal!
This week progressives nationwide are talking about a Green New Deal and, while mainstream media is saying that insurgent Democrats came up with this, we
That comes across as very pedantic and trying to whitewash the reality that the Democrats had to be cajoled into even making a compromised GND.
I had openly acknowledged I was being pedantic and technical in the original comment....
Which is just as factually evidenced as the view that Democrats acknowledged the issues at hand and came up with a practical and actually implementable plan rather than relying on pie-in-they-sky wishful posturing as the Greens are known to do. Biased theoretical interpretations are still theoretical at the end of the day.
I mean, apart from the well researched and thorough plan they laid out. It's only pie-in-the-sky to neolibs who would be threatened by such measures.
I personally cant understand why anyone would want to track anyone down (unless crimes were involved)
The one that believed in liberty and saw the value in many freedoms while choosing to fight with the information not with feelings and presented the information rather than shamed people for not already knowing it.
Just out of curiosity, why would a wall stand up for 18 months then fail? What are the builders doing or not doing?
Just depends how well it's made. Looking at decaying walls, my guess is that it's normally poor mortaring. Either a bad mix of components so the mortar lacks strength, or possbly just badly set - I would guess if holes are left, water seeps in and erodes it (particularly in cold weather if it freezes and expands). Could also be failure to set a proper foundation so subsidence cracks it, etc.
Poor foundations for the soil conditions. I can't recall exactly which way round it is, but I think clay soils are prone to heave (lifting up) and contraction depending on the amount of water (or nearby trees, which suck up a lot of water), so you need about a metre depth of concrete for the footings. If the soil swells and lifts an insufficient footing, your brickwork will be lifted unevenly and crack.
Well, it couldn't be anal prolapse; the large intestine isn't "stringy".
Another one, for the interested (which I suspect isn't a high number) is that you can use too good a mortar, if goodness is measured by strength rather than suitability. Too much cement in the mortar for lightweight aerated blocks (which are popular because they're light, insulating, and contain waste products) makes the mortar stronger than the blocks, so as the mortar dries and shrinks slightly it pulls the blocks apart.
That's the house everyone thinks they live in.
The one thing I've learnt from Conservative talk/radio show is that they never shame people
