Same with “pride”, unless I had some specific role in enacting the thing I’m asked to have pride in, I don’t understand being proud of a country for something.

That is truly next level stupid.

More wind, more PV solar, the next major off-shore wind project has been approved off of the east coast, geothermal where applicable, perhaps tidal power. Stored by pumped hydro, chemical batteries, liquid metal batteries, flywheel recovery systems. Nuclear will be vital to the transition, but I’m skeptical the…

You have more faith in America than I do.

Apparently anybody older than Gen Z is now a Boomer.

I’ve always wanted to test the knowledge of past acquisitions and park a 86-92 Lotus in a GM lot.

And that was just how we got to the outhouse!

She’s more of a contractor than an employee, so it doesn’t really matter what “business” wants, she can turn down the job for whatever reason she wants too. I’m guessing you are not a contractor, and thus have much less agency.

I’m not sure privilege is the right word here. She didn’t inherit her wealth, she earned it, enough of it to retire right now if she felt like it. Is everybody who works until they can afford to retire “privileged” or “successful”?

Americans who think none of the above is true

I was thinking run right past them, to their car, pull out the keys, and chuck them to the nearest un-reachable location. Then run inside and call the cops.

I like it.
