  • You missed Wilson.

    1. Created Wilsonian doctrine that led to forever wars

    2. Segregated the federal government.

    3. Wrote Southern Revisionism

    4. Fostered the second founding of the KKK

    5. Erected a bunch of statues of traitors that specifically said to never erect statues of them.

    6. Probably caused Lenin, and Stalin thereby causing Hitler and WWII plus a host of downstream knock-on effects such as The Cold War and the demonization of socialism and communism in the US.

    7. Robbed us of Teddy’s third and fourth terms in office.













  • Nuclear can absolutely produce power on demand, once the reactors are up and running. I just wish we would have invested in molten salt reactors that cannot meltdown back when we invented them in the '60s. Of course you also can’t make weapons with those reactors, or the isotopes that we need for modern medicine.

    We can’t entirely get rid of nuclear power because of the aforementioned isotopes, but I would be very happy to see all the for profit reactors shut down permanently. You cannot safely run a nuclear reactor when you care about profit.

    Oh and those molten salt reactors are why China is probably going to start selling nuclear waste disposal services to the rest of the world in about a decade once they turn the ones they are currently building on.
