🚨 Billionaire Timothy Mellon, who funded Texas’s private border wall, is reportedly the anonymous donor behind $130M for U.S. troops during the shutdown. He’s bankrolled border enforcement, Trump’s PACs, & now the U.S. military. Oligarch wealth is swallowing public power. Major alarm bell moment!
Reclusive billionaire heir Timothy Mellon gave $125 million to help elect Trump, even more than Elon Musk | Fortune
A grandson of industrialist baron Andrew Mellon, he once railed against federal entitlements, which he said make Black people “belligerent.”

In late-stage authoritarian systems, physical retreat signals absolute democratic decay. As seen in Russia, where Putin’s elite withdrew to militarized compounds, governance shifts from civic accountability to coercive preservation. Washington’s new bunkering reflects the same authoritarian drift.

In general I wish only well to #Americans, but their deep rooted cultural belief that #environment in the context of nature, social mobility, economics in general, does not matter is OUTRIGHT #STUPID and even the #Chinese understand it! Obviously there are exceptions, but not in DC.

They couldn't make back to the future again today not because the 90's were the same as now but because it wouldn't be a remotely original concept anymore, it's a genre.

Lea.Thompson, quite wisely: “If you made Back to the Future in 2025 and they went back 30 years, it would be 1995 and nothing would look that different. The phones would be different but it wouldn’t be like the strange difference between the 80s and the 50s and how different the world was."

Just saying, if we want to save money we should kick the sick people out of the insurance pool, not the healthy ones creating minimal expense.
Sure it'd be morally reprehensible, but that doesn't seem to be a concern for christofascists.

"Why don't we put solar panels over parking lots?!"
Because the scaffolding to hold them up above cars/trucks is more expensive that the scaffolding to hold them up on a flat roof, or open field.
Panels are cheap for what they deliver, places to put them are surprisingly expensive (comparatively).

Solar panels in China are cheaper than a same-size piece of window glass
You can use panels as siding and fencing as if it’s a building material that just happens to produce some electricity
The future is panels everywhere
