The Biden Presidency 2023

Quote: GenoDRPh

It's subsidies for all fossil fuels world wide.

There would be no incentive for the US to subsidize energy $656 billion in 2022, when tax revenues for fossil fuels were only $1.1 billion.

The IMF report is a lie.

If US energy subsidies in 2022 were a realistic $29 billion as reported by the EIA, do you actually believe the rest of the world's nations combined, subsidized energy an additional $6.77 trillion?

Besides, it is the banks and not governments, that finance the fossil fuel industry.

If governments were subsidizing big oil for even $1 trillion, they wouldn't have gone to the banks for $673 billion in loans last year.

That same site has MA as the best educated state in the country.

You'r arguing in circles.

As previously indicated, that report you reference, does not hold water after the SAT results are in.

That report is based upon information provided by states that are trying to draw corporate investment.

The best way to determine school quality is through national test scores.

When it comes to taking the SAT's MA only sends 55% of it's students to take the exam.

Among the states that sent 43% or more of their students to take the exam, MA falls to 9th place in average test score.

Had MA sent a higher percentage, their average SAT score would have been lower.

I’d pay good money to see Donny attempt this stretch.

I’d pay to see Trump stand on one leg like that without falling over.

Photoshopped unless during his morning confusion he put different runners on the left and right foot.

I'm convinced now, Biden is actually in his prime!

For his age, his physical health appears superior.

But his mental health appears to be struggling to stay senile, if he is senile.


Imagine the heartbreak of finding out your son is a crack head.

No one is saying that, just that he is much healthier than the obese criminal the righties are still devoted to.

Most of the states that scored higher SAT average sent less students to send the test than MA. What would their average be if they met MA's percentage?

I read that even with a perfect SAT score only 10% get admitted to Harvard.

Most selective schools look at far more than the SAT. Grades and extracurricular activities are probably more important. A low score will probably end your chances, but a high score is no guarantee to entry.

The SAT scoring system was static from around 1930 to the mid 1990s. By then we kept hearing about "bias" in the test. No biased questions were ever cited, just claims "the whole test is biased."

I remember reading how they filter out biased questions. For example: Sand is to Dune as Snow is to _________.

You probably will easily say "drift." But they pulled that one as people from warmer areas might not have heard of snow drifts. All questions get this kind of review.

Yet......the test is biased.........
