Are they going to refund all the government largess (tax breaks, grants, etc.) they negotiated to set up the scheme?

Biden will tell us it’s okay. All these workers will get jobs making solar panels despite all the factories being in China where they can mine rare earth metals. If that does not work, they can install high-speed Amtrak rail between Charlotte and somewhere north on the East Coast.

I hope people are happy when they pay 10$ extra for a tank of gas, pay more for food, and pay more to heat and cool their house. Biden is going to be a tax on every American that will not go away and he will touch every single aspect of our lives, but at least he does not send out mean tweets!

We should all feel better now.....

Which is why Democrats want single payer healthcare.

Look at the UK and their NHS. All healthcare workers are government employees. Their raises are tied to the political party in power.

Democrats want to do that here to ensure they get that vote.

It also replaces all those blue collar union voters that will be out of work.

“ When businesses go belly up, who are the democrats going to tax to pay for their stimulus packages, cushy govt. jobs, unemployment benefits, embezzling schemes, and fraudulent voters and schemes?”

Nowhere. They will just keep making pretend money digitally.

A few strokes on the keyboard and everyone’s rich (except, of course, the proletariat slaves).

The only ‘jobs’ democrats know how to create are ‘make-work government hand out’ jobs.

Which have to paid by tax payers!

Eventually those with half a brain, leave the blue state/cities and go live in another state.

JB is a total azzhole. This prik may have done more damage in 100 days than Obama did in one term. This country after one year of this will be unrecognizable.

“Pennsylvania voters knew this all along and Biden won anyway.”

You mean Biden got more votes....right? Are you including the 600,000+ vote dump in PA AFTER they stopped counting? You know, the one which almost completely erased a 700,000 vote lead Trump had BEFORE they stopped counting.

Thank to the environmentalists, we cannot start any new manufacturing plant in this country.
Stuff like smelting, refining, steel manufacturing etc. MUST be manufactured abroad.

With wind turbines and solar panels only contributing 6% of America’s energy needs, there’d have to be TENS OF MILLIONS OF SQUARE MILES of them to even get to 50% of demand. Not to even mention the toxicity of solar panel chemicals’ disposal, and graveyards for both turbines and panels.The eco-wackos have no idea of what that’ll do to the environment. Or, maybe they do, and don’t care.

“Perhaps body panels could be made from woven plant matter — weeds, maybe...”

Maybe just plain Weed, as in Hempmobile. (”Fiberweed” in the Cheech & Chong movie.)

It’s just heartbreaking to see the USA being brought to her knees by these anti-American treasonous democrats.The union bosses who got rich off the backs of the workers and who have supported democrats and their anti-business policies should be strung up from a tree.2022 can’t get here fast enough.

US STEEL(USS) had been getting beat up on a continuous basis for pollution at the Clairton Coke Works. They had just recently reached a multi-million dollar settlement with the people of the Clairton area over the pollution concerns. It’s been nothing but continuous aggravation for the company . People from the area kept wanting more and more, from what I can see. USS made the right decision, in my opinion. You have to appreciate businesses and show gladness that they are in your community.
This wasn’t the case here for USS.
