Biden to sign 10 executive orders to tackle Covid-19
President Joe Biden is set to sign 10 executive orders to boost the fight against Covid which has ravaged the US.
Vaccination will be accelerated and testing increased. Emergency legislation will be used to increase production of essentials like masks. In a break with former President Donald Trump, the policy stresses a national strategy rather than relying on states to decide what is best. The moves comes a day after Mr Biden was sworn in as the 46th president. The Trump administration was widely accused of failing to get to grips with the pandemic. In terms of total deaths from coronavirus, the US is the worst-hit country with more than 406,000 lives lost according to Johns Hopkins University. Nearly 24.5 million have been infected. -

I did throw up and edit while you posted so I will add in the edit part also.
Killed Keystone Pipeline XL permit. Thousands of jobs just vanished. Buffett owns Railway and Gates has billions invested in Canadian Railway. Trudeau was looking forward to those oil dollars along with a bunch of other Canadian workers.

Something of interest is reviewing what Presidents past have signed into effect using Executive Order.

The Keystone pipeline also cut through national parks, causing an insane amount of environmental harm.

It will cut through parks, yes. Causing an insane amount of environmental harm is an unknown but possible.
Still nice that Buffett and Gates will get more money in their pocket while 1000's have less.

So Gates/Buffet win instead of somebody else? It's a wash.
Sounds like thousands truckers will be keeping their jobs now :man_shrugging: You must be in oil pipeline IT to be so torn up over this.

Nope. I'm in medical. There are a bunch of workers at many pipe manufacturers in the country. Truckers would still have their jobs, just delivering different materials.

Ok, so why are you pretending to care about them? Just needed something to be outraged about?

Ah yeah, you're big on facts. I almost forgot. You certainly pinned down every aspect of the oil industry and thoroughly detailed every consequence of the executive order for us. I should be thanking you! Take your trolling over to 8kun

So what I stated about impeachment is wrong? Hmmm... Or did you purposely leave that out?
No room to do that here. Just look at the map of keystone, correspond that with Buffett's railway line, add that to the realization that some of the oil will only go by rail and some will not leave Canada. In Canada it will likely travel by rail up north. Now hop over to gurufocus.com, look up the investors to find the companies they own.
Pretty easy to see.

This sounds like a theory to me... but may actually be facts. I'm unsure at this point because you are so unbiased and factual that my brain doesn't know how to proceed. I will consult Q, please hold.

Just so we are on the same page at this moment.
Three facts I thought we were disputing:
- Keystone Pipeline XL Permit cancellation - Fact is, jobs were lost.
- My comment you posted from yesterday about Impeachment. - Fact, Impeachment is a charge only (aka Indictment). No trial, no one has been proven guilty, nothing other than a piece of paper the House drew up with charges on it.
- Comment of Pipeline "Causing an insane amount of environmental harm is an unknown but possible." It is fact that the pipeline XL is not built.
If any of those are not facts please explain.
As for the money flow, that is theory and never stated that as a fact. Highly probable though and investors are linking it too.

Facts are just so difficult, man. Maybe I think it's a fact that the Earth is roundish, your facts might say it's flat, so whose facts are actual facts? I can't believe I'm biting... again... but here goes
-
The vast majority of pipeline jobs are temporary. Thousands more jobs may disappear the minute the pipeline is done; the construction jobs, the supply chain jobs AND people that have been transporting the oil thus far. If the pipeline didn't streamline the process they wouldn't do it to begin with. So facts? Meh. I don't believe you have real supporting evidence to show that even 100 jobs were lost as of this minute. For all we know a thousand lawyers just got hired to fight the order...
-
Impeachment is just charges, which no one was arguing, but "nothing else?" Meh. I disagree. I think there's more to it than that. Tangible things? Maybe not. It's still on Trumps record for being the best, most greatest, highest impeached, ever, in the history of ever... But yeah, if the mob owns the jury, charges mean nothing. I'll concede this one. Kudos.
-
Define environmental harm. Maybe global warming isn't real. Or maybe bulldozers through sacred land doesn't count. If you do an image search for "Keystone XL Construction" one might construe that as "insane environmental harm" and that's not even considering all the potential things that may, or may not, go wrong once it's functional. So facts? Meh.
