I'm not in the know on Texas politics, so I'm curious. Do Texas politicians publicly support clean energy? Or do they just keep their mouths shut and let it happen? Given that the current head of the Republican party seems complet

Is it safety regulation that makes nuclear so hard, or is it just that we can't seem to do large projects of any kind any more?

American consumers are stuck with crappier and much more expensive tech. Thanks Mr President! I'm sure that's what your voters were asking for!

Only about a third of US adults have a bachelor's degree or higher. Even if you count associates degrees it's still less than half.

Before I retired (in the US) the organization I worked for was heavily civil engineering oriented, and they were pretty insistent that the computer folks not call themselves engineers. The state licensing board was pretty insistent too.

Immigration is clearly economic policy. It was partially justified on immigrants taking American's jobs. The war isn't strictly economic policy, but everybody could see it would have a bad effect on the economy, which is why every

Sounds like blaming the abolitionists for slavery. Or blaming the police for murder since they didn't prevent it. Every terrible thing Trump does is really somebody else's fault.

You don't think those two things have any effect on the economy?

That goes way back to before the founding. "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pur

Pretty sure the Democrats would not have done either the ridiculous tariffs or the stupid Iran war. They wouldn't have passed anything like the BBB. Nor would they have tried to scare all the immigrants out of the country.

I don't see how that applies to insurance. The demand pays for it's own supply. The insurance company doesn't have to ramp up production somehow.

Most of the cuts were scheduled for after the midterms, you can guess why.

It seems fairly common in the US to have a hard time finding a doctor that will take your insurance, especially so if you are on Medicaid. Even with good insurance, a lot are just not seeing new patients. More and more tasks are being pushe

You have to wonder, since they are doing two different surveys trying to measure the same reality, which one more accurately measures the facts on the ground? Asking businesses how many people they are employing, or asking households whethe

A lot of people question them. But the supreme Court has decided that giving money is equivalent to free speech, and can't be touched. I don't know how we will ever get out of that problem.

Somebody would have had to convince Biden not to run. I honestly don't know if anybody even tried.

Blaming the people who aren't quite as good at politics for the actions of the people who actually won the last election and are fucking this country seems... Insane?

Maybe. It depends what you count as part of cooking the steak. I need to go to the market, find the steak I want, and purchase it, get it home, and put it in the fridge. Then when I want to cook it I need to find it in the fridge, unwrap it

Heads up though: not every camera on that map is Flock. In my town, only a couple of Flock cameras are in place, on private property (Lowes is a big user). All the others are owned by my local police department.

Here is an idea: the only way to win is a large and extremely costly invasion, actual troops on the ground for probably a decade. Nobody wants to pay that price. It was insane to start this war, and everybody knew it but Netanyahu and Trump

Because they formed partnerships when they were young and didn't know any better. And then once things get going, it seems better to "go along to get along" than face the difficulty of change. In the US, we also have ideologi
