wonder how much the complete fecklessness of letting a dying guy run for Congress and predictably expire less than a month into his term, allowing the governor to leave a D seat in Congress vacant played into this

This is per inhabitants which isn't the relevant statistic for making driving more safe. It's per mile driven where we're much closer to our peer nations.

Of course your data is a good argument we should move away from driving, but it doesn't support your statement.

That's bad but this policy wouldn't change that

I've defended dozens of union members from unjust terminations. I have some claim to being an expert on just cause. I want to make clear that even if this worker had a union with strong just cause protections, we would have lost this grievance and this worker would have been fired.

The real story he ignores is that she got a six figure payday from a video of her being racist, which he no doubt saw on X, along with thousands of other vile cretins who he sees as "the working class"

we underfunded local public health departments for years, and now we see the tragic consequences. We could have hired thousands more do-nothings to shuffle around and say "talk to your doctor" whenever a newspaper calls them for a quote

Germany's rightly ridiculed, irresponsible nuclear shutdowns look way better than what NY has done- subsidize upstate nuclear, close IP, replace that with gas and import more and more from gas-dependent PJM- far more than from Canadian hydro/nuclear

In Germany the only source of electricity that keeps growing and growing: renewable energy.

Solar and wind keep expanding and even though nuclear is no more coal generation has already shrunk significantly and keeps falling.

The state did not even bother to nail down the most basic aspects of a pro-renewable policy. Compare to Texas, where the state subsidized wind farm property tax payments to localities for decades. And Texas has far better renewable resources.

The contrast between NYC, which has literally the worst property tax system in the country imposed on it by the state, and tiny reactionary upstate localities getting to ruin any prospects of electricity self-sufficiency for two decades, is Simply Epic

Why? I have wondered about how this actually works in practice

The article approaches the issue as a narrative rather than quantitative question (tap the sign), so it’s hard to see what balances out what. But it’s hard for me to take groups seriously raising alarm bells today if they didn’t say a word when 25% of NYC’s electricity went dirty almost overnight.
Speaking as a former reporter: reporters are generally innumerate. It is extremely rare to meet a reporter who considers themselves to be good at math.

aside from the asinine doubletalk here from backbench morons, a key feature of being a Democrat in Congress is having 24 hour news cycle events that happened seemingly 20 years ago, which literally no one else remembers be utterly traumatizing experiences on the order of the kid from Come and See
