“You say that it’s impossible to be racist against a white person? And impossible to be sexist against a man?” It really is a confusing time for normal people outside of the intelligentsia / twitter bubble.

Forget the federal government. I wish this was something states worked out. After all they collect my taxes on my behalf. I should just be able to fill out my state return and let them deal with the federal government.

I wonder about this as well. I think it’s time we start getting real answers from PG&E about why our power cost so much when apparently it’s so abundant. Even with solar they charge me $10/month to be hooked into the grid, even tho
