In a lot of ways it's great he's realised his and our mistake, one that we're still making in this country with Ed Milliband leading the lunacy, most sane individuals recognise that we need to move away from burning fossil fuels, and there is certainly some urgency to that, but doing it in a way that costs average people more money is not a sensible solution, all that does is turn people off the idea of going green. Energy, along with water and food are pretty basic necessities, it should be a governments job to make these as cheap as possible.Does anyone really give a **** about anything Stewart says?

Imagine an ATC tower at an airport staffed entirely by small people. None of them able to see out the windows because they are too high off the floor. Emergency alarms going off all over the place.In his rant Trump includes blaming the employment of people with 'dwarfism'. The bully is literally picking on people smaller than himself. This is sick, this is so dangerous. And you know what, his supporters will lap it up just like the German who lapped up the pillorying of the Jew. It happening in plain sight.....AGAIN!
I like the idea of aircraft being brought into land by people looking out windows and guiding them in that wayImagine an ATC tower at an airport staffed entirely by small people.

Absolute pandemonium.
In my mind they are all communicating with central office through a paper cup on the end of a piece of string.I like the idea of aircraft being brought into land by people looking out windows and guiding them in that way
He’s an appalling president, appalling politician and all round appalling person.
The concern is I suppose is that should Trump believe he is being stymied by the apparatus of government he will turn again to his supporters to 'fight, fight, fight'. He has form of course.No arguments from me.
However the one in the middle is actually a good thing.
I don't know if it's come across in the UK, but it has been utter chaos here from a government policy perspective - executive orders flying out left and right, some being revoked when they belatedly realize that they have the opposite consequences from those intended, others being struck down by the courts because, legally, they are utter nonsense. Offers to every federal employee to take a pay-off to quit, which has instead just emboldened the majority to stay and fight. Republicans have a tiny majority in the House - which has to pass any legislation - and they are already bickering and finger pointing rather than coalescing around a way to move Trump's agenda forwards.
I don't work for the US federal government, but I interact a lot in my job with people that do, and they're mostly just shrugging and getting on with things at the moment, and doing their best to ignore all the background noise.
Not saying he can't do damage - he surely can - but he's going to do a lot less damage than if he and his team were actually good politicians who understood the system they are governing and could generate consensus and/or actually draft legal orders that made sense and were constitutional.

The other thing to consider is how that chaos projects to the world and it may well emboldened others such as China.
In Teump's America that should be written as "That won't affect you muchly".Don't think that will affect you guys overly much though.
Whilst DT might have said what he said "bluntly" it seems there is some element of reality behind it.
We’ve been round this road before. Google “merit trap” and “meritocracy trap”. There are many reasons why humans are s**t at picking “the best person for the job” yet it is such an easy thing to say.You know that thing about getting the best person for the job? If the shortlisting scores more for EDI than ability you might not get them.![]()
Tariffs imposed on Canada Mexico & China... tariffs imposed on EU coming soon too- Although we, the UK, brexited the EU 5 years ago, will that fact occour to Trump?

You didn’t google merit trap did you.It`s made MORE difficult if the shortlisting process has weighted in favour of someone with less ability/experience/knowledge purely because they score well on EDI.
