Typical wingnut ****.
We've always had charities, yet millions have gone without healthcare.
Charities can't do what the government can do.

Not when the government is taking approx. $1 trillion a year out of the economy, and making people dependent on government programs in the process.
Not to mention that lowers Americans incomes by keeping taxes high. If Americans were earning more and keeping more of their own money, they could buy their own health insurances.
And of course contrary to Obama's lie that insurance rates would fall, rates rose dramatically, compounding the problem.

Michelle Narang cried when she first saw a sticker of what appears to be a drawing of teen activist Greta Thunberg being sexually assaulted and the name of an oilfield company printed boldly across the bottom of the decal.

Narang, who lives in Rocky Mountain House in west-central Alberta, is a proud supporter of Canadian energy.

Her relatives earn a living in the oil industry, which also supports the non-profit she works for.

She calls the investment that oil and gas companies make in communities, like her town, “beautiful.”

“This is an industry Alberta is fighting for so desperately.

This sticker is not something Alberta or Albertans need,” Narang told HuffPost Canada in an interview Thursday.

Narang decided she couldn’t stay silent.

As someone who knows survivors of sexual assault, she never wants her 13-year-old son to see the sticker, or be OK with violence against women.

So, she posted the image to Facebook as a way to call it out: “This company represents everything that the [oil and gas] industry needs to fight against.”

“Silence never creates change,” Narang said.

“It’s sad to me (the sticker) went through a supply chain of people, who thought about it, printed it and distributed it.

It blows my mind anyone would think it’s funny.”

A friend who works in the oil industry sent an image of the sticker to Narang.

They spoke to HuffPost Canada on a condition of anonymity, fearing repercussions at their job.

The sticker, reading “X-Site Energy Services,” was handed out recently as promotional material at job sites to be worn on hard hats, the worker said.

Although the actual stickers weren’t distributed at their workplace, they said the graphic image was circulating among their colleagues on Wednesday.

The worker said the company was asked if it would be interested in a similar sticker.

“It was completely disgusting and wrong,” the worker said.

Narang said she called the general manager of X-Site, Doug Sparrow, asking him if he knew about the sticker that appears to depict the rape of a minor.

He said he was aware of it, according to Narang, and his response was, “She’s not a child, she’s 17.”

Under the Criminal Code, child pornography is any visual representation of a person under the age of 18 engaged or depicted to be engaged in a sexual activity.

UPDATE - Feb. 28, 2020: RCMP have investigated the image, and determined it is not considered child pornography.

“According to our experts, the image does not meet the criteria for it to constitute a criminal offence,” an officer from the Red Deer detachment told HuffPost.

While we are lamenting what an ugly world it is, let us not forget that it was the duty of the PARENTS to interface their daughter with that ugly world successfully - and NOT the duty of that ugly world to change its nature for the comfort of one over-pampered, over-listened, under-parented retarded girl.
You hypocrite fruit cakes put her up on that pedestal, because you felt a pubescent retard properly represented your maturity and reliability - and you are now pretending horror that someone is giving her a boot.

She's not exactly Honey Boo Boo being forced to perform in child beauty pageants.

That sticker would have been just as disgusting had she been an adult woman.
Woman don't deserve to be raped or slut shamed just because they are activists for a cause they believe in.

Which brings us to your dislike of the oil companies. How are they "**** us," in your simple world, son?

Subsidies

Finite Resource

Cannonpointer » 04 Mar 2020 2:32 am » wrote: Subsidies is a good reason - finite resource, not so much. For starters, it is faith based. You have no idea where oil comes from - you take the word of the oil companies, who have a vested interest in pretended scarcity.

In the second place, Every decade in the last hundred years, we used as much oil as we had used leading up to that decade, and every decade in the last hundred years, we ended the decade with more known, recoverable reserves than we started it with, notwithstanding historic levels of usage. Oil is only "finite" in the most abstract sense of the word. In concrete reality, peak oil is over the horizon, son. And the atmosphere needs more carbon in it.

It is made of CARBON, which means it is the very stuff of life.

Tell me, what is your blood made of? It's made of its component parts - by your body's mechanisms, which component parts must be made available in order for your body to manufacture your blood. For all you and I know, the earth makes oil much faster than the model we were taught in corporate-government schools, and doesn't need trilobites to pull it off.

Remember as a kid in school, learning about the glorious Golden Gate Bridge? That bridge is no more special, in any way, than the Bay Bridge. But it belongs to private interests, and those private interests prepared and distributed lesson plans to government schools, specifically to market the bridge to future customers - to make it famous so that people would pay to cross it. You see,the other side of that bridge out of san francisco leads to muir woods, mount tam and sausilito - and not much else. The local traffic on that very profitable bridge accounts for only a fraction of its revenues - because you were INSTRUCTED, as a child, to visit that bridge.

Folks need to learn to think for themselves on major issues of the day. And sometimes, you need to embrace and respect your own ignorance.

In truth, you have no **** clue where oil comes from, and neither do I. But I DO know that there are veritable oceans of the stuff, and that it is only a "finite" resource in the most abstract usage of that term.

The evidence is old, dry holes suddenly becoming productive again. It's not uncommon.

I'm not researching it for you - not that fond of gays that I feel like doing their work for them.
