The law doesn't apply anymore. Who's going to enforce it?

Economy is something else than the stockmarket. In fact, I'd say the two have absolutely nothing in common anymore. The stockmarket is a casino, with Joe Average losing everything once in a while.

I guess we need to find a word to capture the atrocities that are being done to people of a certain belief system in the world.

Or should be just call it 'g3n0c1d3'?

For decades Republicans wanted to 'starve the beast', and they are now close to actually succeeding. It'll be interesting once the dimmed bulbs in the red stats discover that their life style was basically possible by government policies transferring wealth from the blue coastal states to their backward ass states.

In other news; water is wet and the sun, when shining, provides warmth.

Hydrogen is just bullshit, served by the fossil fuel industry to try and stay relevant.

True they abused the system. That wasn’t my point, which is that these high property taxes have a tendency to give high quality services to affluent neighbourhoods and low cost housing get low quality services.

Building way more renewable generation than needed at peak, plus elasticity brought by batteries (hello V2G cars) plus HVDC lines to transport power between regions will be faster and cheaper than deploying the most expensive form of power generation.

Yet, it's the power companies that don't want this. As it's threatening their business model of central generation and metering every kWh going to the consumer.

This is the reason why these discussions keep popping up. Right wing parties are fully aligned with the centralised thinking of traditional power companies.
