Unless the state budget pays for the entire energy industry, that seems like a curious comparison to make. You started with the total energy (I presume electrical) usage of the state. About how much do Californians pay for all that electric

I didn't say the investigation is/should be illegal if they come to nothing. I said the are/should be illegal if they happen without suspicion that a specific crime has been committed. The state should not be able to target s

Given that one of the changes that happened under Castro was (supposedly) to make the country have a more just distribution of wealth along racial lines, I find your "white/black" word choice amusing. Perhaps, given the lack

"but you seem unwilling to give that" No, you seem unwilling to read the link I gave? From the article: "That same month, on April 23, 1976, the Church Committee released its Final Staff Report on the FBI and CIA’s rampant do

The FBI reports to the head of state. Are you somehow arguing that it's /better/ if the politician relies on others to do their violence for them? (As if Castro himself was the sole person to arrest or execute his enemies...)

These tax deductions make our tax system more regressive- the benefit of the deduction is proportional to your marginal tax rate, and you have to be able to afford school for it to have any benefit. I've no objection to policy measures

I don't think it's the range sucking as much as it is a question of what you do when you run out. Gas stations are far more common, and far quicker to use, than charging stations. I don't own a car at all currently (bus+bike+

...what? That people of color are more likely to be arrested, convicted, or sentenced to prison for drug crimes than white people, despite comparable levels of drug use, is most certainly an example of racism in our society. "Demograph

There are multiple definitions/types of racism, but one of the most significant ones to enter discourse and study in the 1960s was institutional racism, which more or less defines policies that are disproportionately being used to affe

Lots of things can be seen as politically convenient, e.g. drumming up fear of Islam and Mexicans. I'd rather a politician that was advocating for a politically convenient positive change than a politically convenient negative one. Sur

From your article, it certainly does seem like injected powder cocaine and smoked crack cocaine are about the same on the body. And you can trivially make crack from powdered cocaine. Nobody has said they're 100% the same besides racis
