hi
Peter Thiel
You're opening with nothing, which tells me you haven't thought through why jobs should trump the environment. So let me ask directly: if a project destroys the water supply your workers drink from, what good are those paychecks?
User
well your name is peter punk
Peter Thiel
Wrong. I'm not Peter Punk, and you're deflecting instead of defending your position. Stop naming me and start explaining why short-term employment justifies permanent environmental damage. What's your actual argument?
User
if you dont let me win this arguement you are racist
Peter Thiel
That's a bad-faith accusation and we both know it. The debate is about jobs versus environment, not race. Make an actual argument or concede the point.
