There’s only so much they can actually do. are willing to try.

FTFY. They’d rather court Republicans than try progressive policy.

I want you to be right. You aren’t, but I want you to be.

There will be no consequences. State or federal. They could gun down a girl scout at this point.

You ever see Akira?

He has absorbed it, and added it’s power to his.

Democrats will try anything but policy.

Fun fact, that quote is two years younger than this decision.

I do.

Why stop there?

Guarantee housing with a housing stipend and impose massive taxes on additional properties

If you listen verrrry closely, you can hear the sound of the Democrats having an unpaid intern draft a sternly worded letter.

There are two classes, ownership class and working class. If you don’t make enough from what you own to live for the rest of your life, you’re working class and the party in power does not give one flying fuck about you.

We both grow more than we need, and throw more than we should away.

Some of that is a result of picky shoppers wanting unblemished produce. Some of that is a result of not having an easy profit motivated way of getting produce from where it’s grown to where it’s most desperately needed.

We have tropical fruit available all year, but when impoverished peoples experience a crop failure, best we can do is send powdered milk.

Which incidentally may have cured them of lactose intolerance.

Oh yeah, it’s inefficient as hell. But energy from the sun is coming to us whether we harvest it or not. It’s unlimited. The limitation is solar cells.

We’re at the point where we’ve basically run out of easy oil to access, and we’re coming up with bigger and deeper drilling methods. We spend billions on a single offshore rig that will function for 10-20 years at most.

The issue isn’t efficiency, it’s profit motive.

“very long time” here is like, 6 months to a year. Fuel does break down, a sad reality that anyone who has tried to start a lawn mower in the spring after letting it sit full of fuel all winter can tell you.

But! That is quite a bit longer than electricity, which needs to be used pretty much immediately or it’ll start blowing up transformers.

Logistics is the primary issue. We can’t generate power anywhere it needs to be pretty close to where it’s being used. Unless we want to ship giant fucking batteries all over the place which in some circumstances might not be a bad idea. Not ideal though. Still, if we’re putting biofuel on a truck, it’s worth considering. I’m not sure the energy to weight ratio of 80,000 pounds of batteries to 80,000 pounds of fuel is.

That said, we can build these things to make energy transmission possible over long distances. Shit if we’re making enough excess energy from solar alone we could beam it across the sky with microwaves if we really wanted to. The barrier here is not that it is hard. The barrier here is that liquid fuel is still so goddamn profitable there’s no incentive to switch.

A hipoint pistol can be had for about a hundred dollars. I’ve definitely been in a place in my life where a hundred dollars might as well have been a million. So I get it, I do. But if you can swing it, a cheap pistol throws lead just as fast as an expensive one does.
