WHO GIVES A DAMN?
It’s a public service, right there in the name. It exists as a public good for all the people in this country. It’s not supposed to turn a profit, you dolts.
Go audit the Pentagon and see what kind of return on investment we’re getting there.

You’ve lost the plot as a presidential administration when Dr. Oz is on stage handwringing about the cost of balls
Dr Oz: "The creation of a penis costs on average in America $150,000 per child ... if you add testicles, that's extra"

This is actually revealing: Republicans recoil at having universal coverage for the same reason they avoid public transit - you’d be served in the same system as “those people”
Scalise: "Does everybody in America want to be on Medicaid? That's what Democrats are doing."

there is really no difference between the current administration and having the country run by david duke
On that last post: I genuinely cannot think of any good-faith reason to bar international adoptions from those 39 countries. Under this new ban, consulates will refuse adoption visas for any baby from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Nigeria, or any of the 39 other countries.

Creative iteration is also called thinking, and if you skip that part of the process then it really shows.

Genuinely think the level of sustained attention that a physical, ink-and-paper book demands from you makes it an irreplaceable technology.
Reading a bunch of books this year has really solidified for me how awful the internet is in comparison nowadays. Obviously in terms of general hostility but more generally in terms of lack of depth, insight, reading comprehension, base of knowledge, etc

This is incredible (good news too): “After a 40% fall in 2024 in battery equipment costs, it’s clear we’re on track for another major fall in 2025…The economics for batteries are unrecognizable, & the industry is only just getting to grips with this new paradigm”

Batteries now cheap enough to make dispatchable solar economically feasible
Energy think tank Ember says utility-scale battery costs have fallen to $65/MWh outside China and the United States, enabling solar power to be delivered when needed.
