He's still pissed off that a wind farm is visible from one of his sea-side golf resorts. I don't recall if it is one that went bankrupt or not.

One time I ate a hallucination paper or two at a concert. I noticed on the 2 hour drive back that all the windmills across the horizon had a blinky red light on top and all of those lights blinked at the same time. I hope anyone who doesn't appreciate the blinky red lights on top of windmills has a painful and drawn out death.

Thanks to Mitch, death is no longer a deterrent to stay in power; don't give him ideas.

I wouldn't normally be pedantic, but because its him, I feel compelled to say, its wind turbine, not windmill, they do 2 different jobs.

Maybe he actually does mean windmill and really hates the Dutch.

To be fair, only a small proportion of Dutch wind mills are actual mills. Most are wind-pumps.

I presumed this is what he meant, because who mixes them up? And, he's that kind of person, who would slate a nation for having history and culture.

everybody whose not an engineer will call them windmills at least on occasion. Which is fine. i'm sure somebody somewhere is grinding flour with the electricity they produce.

I wouldn't put it past him tbf, he's quite a hateful person.

Wait, do people without dementia call wind turbines wind mills? I'm not a native speaker

I'm a native speaker and quite likely to refer to them as windmills. Real windmills are basically museums now, everyone will know what you mean. Although the slightly coarsely-ground flour from the one near ours does make truly delicious bread.

To be fair, considering he aggressively tries to not learn things, he wouldn't have known.

He doesn't need to learn things, he just knows them. Like how dumb has a B at the end....
