Except narrow races earn them more money.

Well she's also not winning New Hampshire.

There's no way offshore wind has worse impacts than all the offshore drilling and pumping rigs in the North Sea.

If you're replacing an oil rig with wind turbines I don't see how anyone could have a reasonable objection to that.

Greenfield offshore wind farms are a bit different, but I still think wind has perhaps the lowest environmental impact of any form of power generation we have right now.

The more interesting conversation, is, like you said, about how the profits are handled. Norway is obviously used to putting money from its oil industry into the wealth fund, and I'd hope they'd be trying to accomplish the same with green energy, but I know profit margins are much lower with wind, so it may be presented as a choice of no money or no wind power.

That just makes it funnier.

I remember canvassing for Bernard in Palo Alto and the only door I knocked on that was hostile were two Stanford doctors who told me they were voting Bloomberg because Medicare for All would lower their pay.

In capitalist America, people become doctors to be wealthy, not to take care of others.

Going to prison because you had to piss into the ocean voting for Trump in California is very funny.

Such incredibly cogent political analysis: The real swing voters are single-issue space deregulation voters.

 

Alito does more weird catholic shit.

Dawg I do not know how you look at China in 2024 and don't think that they're literally kicking everyone's ass when it comes to innovation.

You're going to want a different yardstick if you're trying to shit on China.

They are telling you loudly and clearly that they do not want your vote.

They have a more leftist reputation than most other English football clubs, as much as that's worth.

Just imagine if the US didn't have such an unusually low turnout for a western country. The system would collapse (more).

 

The invention of the "study" as a pressure release valve for activism was truly a masterstroke.

 

Biden reversing course to final-days-of-Trump-presidency policy making it open season on endangered keystone species gray wolves.

 

Fun anecdote from the article about a previous merger one of these companies did:

Washington seeks to avoid the situation it found itself in a decade ago, when Albertsons bought the Safeway chain. To satisfy regulators concerned about that deal's potential impact on supermarket competition and consumers, Albertsons sold 146 stores to Haggen, a small grocery chain based in Bellingham, Washington.

But Haggen struggled with the expansion. Within six months, it had closed 127 stores โ€” including 14 in Washington โ€” and laid off thousands of workers. Haggen sold its remaining stores to Albertsons in 2016. Now, 10 Haggen stores in Washington are on the list to be sold if the merger happens.

Look at the math on that little offer they did to make the merger more palatable. lmao

 

You've heard about the beautiful boaters, but have you heard about the beautiful fliers?

 

Y'all discarded them for something I don't remember, but anyway, good for them!

 

I knew it wasn't going to happen, because libs refuse to ever do anything good, but I figured it would be Adams, not Hochul.

 

It was a cute movie. Not sure why it's bombing.

 

Context: Trump's lawyers are in front of the Supreme Court arguing that presidents cannot be prosecuted for any crimes they commit while in office.

Who knows how the Calvinball refs will decide this one, but if they go Trump's way, Biden has literally no excuse not to assassinate his political rivals.

 

"You're owned by China!"

"That's disinformation, like the DemocRATs use against Presinald Trunt!"

 

Wild.
