carbon pricing do not address problem Electricity markets determine revenue for nuclear not designed to preserve public benefits price changes not likely  to accomplish plants take a decade limitations make nuclear poor fit even if pricing adjusted Carbon pricing not enough  to save nuclear power sufficient certain  long-term revenue needed

Question: Disability rhetoric doesn’t reinforce ableism

Disability rhetoric doesn’t reinforce ableism and rejecting it doesn’t solve – Their linguistic focus just papers over oppression - Turns the K

there is theory which claims language creates reality. I am skeptical that acts of linguistic gymnastics make better treatment of and respect for the disabled. Unless we change attitudes it’s not going to matter what politically correct term is dreamed up to gloss over the fact that the disabled are greatly devalued problem is why anyone would think that identifying someone with their disability denies their personhood. many of the disabled themselves reject person first language politically correct language obscure clear thinking and damage the people they claim to benefit. notions of inferiority remain. euphemisms make matters worse since they claim modern thought and new enlightenment. it is respectable to be blind, although we have no particular pride neither do we have shame changing the words a person speaks does not change the feelings in their heart. It's merely a surface solution that does not change the reality of what it is to be disabled in society
