We don’t need tax credits.

We need Private equity out of the housing market.

We need better safeguards for tenants.

Financial moves like tax credits and incentives always end up benefitting the haves.

I manage a service engineering team for semiconductor equipment.

I did this right out of college. I’m not sure if it was the LNAPL measurements or the asbestos abatements but I really needed to get out of that industry.

Chatgpt high level summary:

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce received an $800,000 donation from billionaire Hank Meijer shortly after endorsing his son, Peter Meijer, in a 2022 primary. This donation and subsequent ad spending for Peter Meijer have highlighted the issue of “dark money” in U.S. elections, where the ultimate sources of funding are not disclosed. Although the Chamber followed legal requirements, the timing raised questions about the transparency and motivations behind such contributions. The article underscores the broader problem of undisclosed political donations and their impact on voter information and trust in the electoral process.

I peaked over at reddits conservative… And this verdict has not only not dissuaded them… But has emboldened them. This “proves” we are in a Banana Republic and that the system is against trump

This hotel bar has way too many people at it.

Turns out “better health care” is a pretty low bar in the US.

The US is providing funding for companies like TSMC and Intel to buld fabs in the US. The reality is that TSMC is having a very hard time hiring and deal with cultural gaps between Asian working mindset vs. American working mindset. There’s going to be some serious pain getting these fabs up and running.

I asked what I can do to protect my family from climate change.

To protect your family from the potential impacts of climate change, you can take several actions:Educate yourself and your family: Learn about the causes and effects of climate change, as well as the steps you can take to mitigate its impacts. Share this knowledge with your family members and encourage them to be more mindful of their environmental footprint.Reduce your carbon footprint: Make an effort to reduce your family’s greenhouse gas emissions by adopting energy-efficient practices, such as using LED light bulbs, turning off electronics when not in use, and driving less.Conserve resources: Encourage your family to conserve water, recycle, and reduce waste. These actions can help to reduce your family’s overall environmental impact.Support renewable energy: Consider installing solar panels or using other renewable energy sources in your home. Additionally, support policies and initiatives that promote the development and use of renewable energy.Get involved in your community: Join or support local organizations and initiatives that focus on climate change mitigation and adaptation. This can help to create a broader movement for change and can also provide opportunities for your family to learn and take action together.Stay informed: Keep up to date with the latest news and research on climate change and its impacts. This can help you and your family to make informed decisions and stay engaged in the issue.Remember, small actions can make a big difference, and by working together as a family, you can help to protect yourselves and future generations from the effects of climate change.

It gave a reasonable answer and didn’t discount it as a scam.

Thank you.

Not arguing any of that. The point here is that I find Musk repulsive enough that the Tesla, for all of its superior software, was never even in my decision making process.

Same.

We just bought the ev Blazer this weekend. Fuck Tesla.

We have a raptor. We call him Garchomp. He doesn’t chew, but does chomp.

Alternatively, embrace chaos and adopt in the raptor phase.

The DC Metro is my favorite subway system. Those stops are just beautiful.

You never heard a sound like the rubberbad man…

This post gave me the idea to idea to text the wife. As a millenial. I’m doing my part.

I get different answers.

“It’s too late now”.
“They’re (Dems) are just trying to save face.”.
“That bill is so packed with other things… You can’t trust it.”.

They will just always give their party the benefit of the doubt.
