  • Nuclear powerplants are so safe that they’ve only had a handful of (admittedly disastrous and high profile) failures, and have killed less people per watt hour generated than even wind and solar power. Nuclear power is the safest, cleanest, most efficient form of green energy we can get right now. Yes, it can be dangerous if not managed properly. But Fukushima, Chernobyl, and Three Mile Island were not freak accidents. Deliberate mistakes were made that were known at the time and should be used as warnings to keep the industry safe, not as sirens that lead is to swear off nuclear energy.





  • I’m definitely not gonna disagree with you. Gotta take friends where you can get them, these days. The difference I would say is in intent. I want workers rights so we can go back to a traditional one income household with a married couple and lots of kids, that’s what I mean by conservative position. But if people want to take that freedom to try out other stuff like DINK household with plenty of economic security, or a stay at home dad situation, or quality affordable daycare, more power to them. Can’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. As long as quality of life is improving, I won’t turn my nose up at it, just cause it doesn’t match my traditional religious conservative ideas of society.


  • Similar story, except I joined the Air Force. 8 still consider myself somewhat social conservative, but distanced myself from the party and the messaging years ago. I would say that it’s not necessarily a conservative position just because the RNC says it. I’m pro labor now, and I think of it as a very conservative position, as worker empowerment would empower families to make more choices and would hopefully improve the birth rate. All that to say, don’t give up on your principles and beliefs just because the political machine corrupted things.
