A place to discuss pro-conservative stuff

  1. Be excellent to each other. Civility, No Racism, No Bigotry, No Slurs, No calls to violences, No namecalling, All that good stuff, follow lemm.ee's rules, follow the rules of your instance, etc.

  2. We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

  3. Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.

A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

It's really unclear how it's going to wipe out a million jobs.

He does say

"It's not the name that matters. It's the consequences. It's stricter than rules they have even in Europe. And in vast portions of the country, we will barely be able to build new manufacturing facilities as a result," Timmons added.

He does not say that manufacturers will have to cut any current jobs. Or am I missing that?

So, if I'm interpreting this correctly, it seems like up to 1 million forecasted jobs over some indeterminant time will "wiped out".

He works for a trade group.

I think we should have a global standard for pollution to keep clean air and allow competition.

I find the arguments about clean air bizarre. Everyone should be for reasonable laws about clean air.

Paris Accords are that standard. Trump pulled the US out of them.
