So does Mamdani actually have a plan for the city or is everything he's saying just retarded twitter leftist tier proposals? Because that's what this looks like.
Oh, he has a plan. I've never heard of him, but his name makes it apparent. The plan is to import as many jeets as he possibly can, and shove them into every position of authority he possibly can.
 
We already do, a fucking lot. There's an ethanol plant near me that used to run 24/7 making fuel ethanol for cars. The government stopped subsidizing corn for fuel, so they pivoted to drinkable alcohol.

The corn for fuel subsidies were based on ethanol being more "carbon neutral" to burn compared to gasoline, but conveniently the people pushing for ethanol forgot that corn is harvested with gallons of dirty farm diesel, oh and ethanol is corrosive to pipes so it has to be trucked everywhere, burning more dirty diesel.

Subsidies are fine, but usually end up being the most retarded possible outcome.
the pipe part sounds like bullshit to me. ethanol is pretty easy and forgiving to work with, the only thing you need to worry about is its flammability. i don't see how or why it would be a problem for pipelines.

ethanol fuel from corn is a pretty neat concept, so far it's the most successful of all the "make cars run on renewables" ideas people have come up with. it's not economically viable as long as oil is as abundant as it is, but especially for countries with no local oil reserves of their own it can contribute to decreasing their reliance on imports which is also good.
but for america in particular it seems kinda pointless, with how abundant the local oil and gas reserves are.
 
I never thought anybody could understand skibidi toilet less than I do but damned if aging late night hosts don't find a way.

Somebody really needs to tell these people they're old, and not in the "haha if you embrace how out of touch you are it's funny" kind of way just literally go away and stop trying old.
 
They backed off after the public raised hell about it and Musk stepped in. I'm just hoping maybe Vance or Trump can do something about it, because I don't want my country becoming like the UK where police show up at my door for shitposting online.
I don't know how much trade Ireland does with the US, but i know a lot of rich people and companies use you guys as a tax haven. There is always the nuclear option we could take that away if they do that.

Ethanol specifically is corrosive to plastic and rubber. Seals and shit wear out from long term exposure. Newer cars don't have as much of an issue but older cars get eaten up by modern fuel blends.

He’s right though, you need fossil fuels to harvest said corn.

It’s net energy negative. Unless you’re using all nuclear powered electric equipment, it’s a massive waste of resources.

It also drives food costs up, because farmers are using tons of farmland to capture government funds only.
