    Many others are contributing as well....you're too focused on bringing up other topics to realize it I guess.

    And again you are ignoring them by being pedantic.

    How does kids and cages go with the pipeline since you are engaged in that topic as well?

    But you can ignore how many layoffs your king has caused.

    WaPo gives John Kerry 2 pinocchios for his for his wind and solar power employment remarks

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...misleading-framing-potential-solar-wind-jobs/

    excerpt:

    The Pinocchio Test
    We will excuse the fact that Kerry got the order wrong on which jobs had the biggest projected growth. He was close enough for government work, and he carefully noted that these were pre-pandemic estimates.

    But his framing is misleading because, according to the government statistics he relied on, the actual number of jobs is relatively small. The percentage gain is so high because the number of jobs in 2019 for both solar panel installers and wind turbine technicians is relatively small. The projected new jobs in these industries over 10 years amount to just 20 percent of the current number of coal jobs — and they do not pay as well either.

    Of course, this might change if the Biden administration succeeds in its green-energy push. But until then, Kerry is offering false hope with a misleading use of statistics.

    This deserves its own thread. Job growth in renewables is a big Democrat talking point.
