Green New Deal (none / 0)

You people realize that I put up a thread up there on the FP to discuss this very subject? I'm miffed that my thread is boycotted that way! :)

Re: Green New Deal (4.00 / 5)

The serious economics people are commenting on that thread. OT is where the rest of us can play as well and make inane comments that don't look out of place, although brighter people comment here as well. In fact it's just me who shouldn't comment on that thread....:-)))). {phew !!! think I got away with that one}

keep to the Fen Causeway
