You are mistaking Washington elites for republicans. They showed their true colors after the January 6 riots.

No I get why you put your mom in your house. I asked if being a landlord is such a burden (aka the most oppressed minority in America
) why rent to someone instead of selling, or giving it away if it is a burden that is draining your resources?Note the later arguments about the property being your and you can do whatever you want with it also applies to arguments about prostitution. If I’m a woman my body belongs to ME it’s my body. I’m allowed to sleep with whoever I want as long as it’s consensual, so why can’t I charge money towards those who are willing to pay?
Most people answer that it’s bad for society.
As shown in this thread, quite a few rental owners aren't rich and make less than I do at my job.
You're against them having a livelihood, because..reasons? You're for the government seizing their property and giving it to the poor poor renters (who often make more than they do.)
You're a commie in denial.

Because it harms a third person who has no consent in the matter: the baby that results form the sex. Single mother households are the worst thing that can happen to a child outside of the child dying outright and possible sexual abuse (but I need to compare the life outcomes for the latter to be sure).

Pretty much everyone in DC is an elite politicians are elites and they live in Washington ergo they are DC elites even the honorable ones like Ron Paul. Even in Washington DC the republicans are not outnumbered by RINOs I mean I at least can put in some things on what a rino is do you just throw that at whatever you don’t like or do you have a standard of when to use it.
Never heard of something called birth control? Also promiscuity itself is not banned, most prostitution in Germany or Holland don’t end up getting pregnant.

Sex is fundamentally a reproductive act. It is a matter of fundamental principles that the creation of life shoudl be treated with the same seriousness as the destruction of life. Whoring is also as demeaning activity that reduces a person that, logically, rape is reduced to a minor theft.
@Doomsought Stop falling for his red herring.
This isn't the place for a prostitution debate.
Start a new thread if you want to debate that.
He's got you going off topic because his argument against personal property ownership, and him being a communist in disguise, is not winning him any arguments. Stick to the point.

What make you think I am opposed to a regulated trade in flesh (prostitution)? This isn't the gotcha you think it is, it just shows inconsistency in the logic behind what is against the law, and law is a human product and isn't subject to logic unless humans of making these laws want it to be.

You do realize that communism is more than just taking peoples shit yes? It’s a total destruction of a culture look up Lenin and Mao it’s erasing religion and the tradition of your ancestors. Taking the property of people and giving it to other people is not communism. Now stop being a RINO because conservatism is about much more than economics. In fact someone who is pro lgbt, pro “cultural awareness” and “diversity” but is pro big business and low taxes is the definition of RINO support conservatives economic policies while disregarding conservative social policies. The reverse where it’s leftest economics but right wing social policy isn’t really a thing in the republicans party or American system in general. European conservatives generally have that mindset though.

There's a possibility FL Governor Ron DeSantis (R) might be the next President in 2024:
Joe Biden expected to sign an executive order with the target of 50% of US cars sold to be electric vehicles by 2030.

I'm not a RINO. I don't even call myself a republican. I'm pretty liberal socially. At least by 2009ish or earlier standards. They lost me with the alphabet people and intersectionalist BS, but I was and am even pro gay marriage. So your RINO claims are utterly meaningless to me.
While I have moved rightward over time, I found myself conversing with my friends here, because the left left me behind in their insanity spiral. So if you want to call a life long democrat voter who just voted R down ticket for the first time in November, a RINO, be my guest.
You wanting to destroy property ownership, and distribute it out to people, is totally communist. It'll destroy culture and ways of life, too.
I hope so. Every time he gets his name in the headlines I like him more.
His recent "I'm in your way" speech to Biden was fucking amazing.

I don’t know if that’s a good idea I mean in theory gas free cars sound great cleaner environment no dependence on the crazies in the Middle East. But I don’t think we have the tech for cheap reliable electric cars.Joe Biden expected to sign an executive order with the target of 50% of US cars sold to be electric vehicles by 2030.

At least we can agree that this is a shitty idea.
Texas and CA power grids can't even handle things if it gets too hot or cold. Now let's add millions of electric cars to the grid.
The infrastructure isn't there yet.
I heard recently that there was some data showing that's actually a myth but I never looked into it, so no idea how accurate that is.
Anyways, electric cars are actually pretty damn awesome. If they get the tech right, where you can really quickly charge or swap out batteries as fast as going to a gas station, I could see myself in one some day. They way out perform gasoline cars.
The grid just isn't up to snuff yet to handle it.

Nooope. I wonder why that is....
It's the dirty secret electric vehicle advocates try to ignore and down play. Learned about the stuff during a class in my freshman year of college at a tech school. Lots of rare earths and heavy metals in the components involved in high energy capacitors and high end solar panels. Most solar panels also wear out after about 7 years, and it's hard to recycle them. A lot of the stuff also is the product of pretty...intensive mining and processing set-ups.
Wind power is a mixed bag. 'Conventional' wind power is pretty ecologically unfriendly, at least on the large scale. Home units that ease electric bills are the most useful balance of power production and eco-friendliness, but can be noisy and still present a hazard to birds. Vertical/tube windpower is very promising however, because the bird just fly around it and learn not to sit on it while it's in motion. However even it is most useful on the residential scale, because the large horizontal turbines needed for commercial scale use are non-recyclable, and very emission intensive to produce.
Hydopower is still pretty useful, and building new/more dams would not be a horrible idea, but it runs into NIMBY shit, just like new reactors.
However transmission lines still have bleed/resistance problems over long distances.
Petro-chems are still the most efficient and easy to use power source, as it retrains energy potential throughout transit with minimal hassle on the part of the handlers. Nuclear is very nice for energy generation, but it's not popular with most of the populace, and is not the easiest stuff to safely handle either.
Electric vehicles also have a problem with sustained torque output, or at least most of the consumer grade ones have for a while. Though but do have fast acceleration, as seen with Musk's Matchbox-truck.

Don't know how some of you feel about Tim but does anyone else know about Biden being sued?

Gasoline is just... ridiculously good as a fuel to the point I think most people don't actually realize just how good it is. It basically checks every box that you could want a fuel source to have, including ones most people don't think about.
Like, for instance, what happens when you spill gasoline? Yes, it's toxic, but it's not THAT toxic. You can clean up the spill with a basic absorbent, and the risk of fire is actually quite low. Heck, you can literally toss a match into a barrel of gasoline and you know what happens? The match will get snuffed out once it hits the gasoline and sinks in. Gasoline is more safe to handle than the typical batteries in normal cars. Spill gasoline on your hand? OH NO it's... oh right, mostly inert, wash your hands before eating. Spill a lead-acid battery on your hand? Well, off to the ER with you, maybe you can save your hands, oh and now have a risk of lead poisoning.
Then you get into the weight vs power aspect of gasoline and it just... well, blows pretty much everything non-nuclear out of the water. My understanding is that for the same given mass, gasoline provides more power than batteries, though that same mass will take up more volume than a battery will. The only things with better power to mass ratios are things like Uranium, etc. when used in nuclear fission reactions, and, well, let's be honest, nobody really wants fission powered vehicles.
Also, being a liquid is like, a perfect form for a fuel. Solid fuels are a pain in the ass to handle and transport and then use in a vehicle, requiring complicated mechanisms to feed into things. Gases are even WORSE, needing systems to maintain constant pressure and seals and if there's a leak things can get nasty quickly. Liquid? A bit harder to transport than solids, but leaks are easier to manage and you don't have to keep the same level of airtight seal going at all times. Plus liquids can use very basic pumps and pressure to distribute without needing complicated gas systems or the complicated mechanical systems a solid fuel needs.
Seriously, there's a reason gasoline and diesel became the standard fuel choices for vehicles. It was the fact they were straight up the best things we've had, and still have, for the job.
