Dick Cheney the vice president at the time under Bush happened to have huge amounts of stock in Halliburton which served as one of the biggest military contractors for supplies and building.

There is absolutely nothing anywhere in any combination that will replace the assembly built by fossil fuels…..nothing at all. Peak oil is probably now very easy to explain; much easier than it was a long time ago. People have felt what $147 a barrel of oil feels like. Essentially, peak oil is like a bell curve, if…

desensitized to the toy, but rather she was curious to see why the artificial baby was not reacting the way she expected it to. This is because there was only one piece of information Alana was getting, the denial. In the Bush/Cheney situation, Bush was “the voice of delusion...Cheney [was] the voice of justification” (Nelson, 306).

To everyone who says "I like Bernie, but I'm not voting for him... I'm voting for Hillary, she's just as good, and can win" Well allow me to explain why you're wrong. The last Clinton in office bent over for Wall Street when he repealed Glass-Steagall. This one will do the exact same. But most importantly, she won't regulate walstreet or big banking with real regulation. She's given a brief summary of her plan (that she has failed to elaborate on) which involves only a minor tweak to the already…

The documentary felt pretty biased in a particular direction that makes it feel closed off to the people for whom its point of view would be most helpful. It felt like another of the many news sources that yell into echo chambers filled with people already inclined to lean towards the point of view presented. It was also a lot of information presented very quickly and with very little contextualization. For instance the portion where it was talking about the Energy Task Force, a sector in the…
