  • AI, and more locally, a windfarm, that they’ve already anlnounced a rate hike ok .15 $/kw to subsidize (this is why i hate say it, but im glad trump canceled wind)
    Are why the residential solar company Im working for is more or less booked 2 years out right now, despite the tarifs.

    5 years ago, our clientele was people doing it for ideological/ environmental reasons, rich prepper types, or just techy nerd types. Now its small buisness owners and middle class families who know they can afford the next price hike but dont think theyll be able to afford the one after. Trust in the utility is gone.




  • Counter devils advocate: our legal system does allow civilians to stop a crime in progress against themselves, physically, even if the crime itself is nonviolent in nature.

    For instance, If i witness someone stealing my property, I am allowed to use reasonable, non-deadly force in defense of my property. She faced serious, permanent, and ongoing mental harm, which she had every right to attempt to stop as it occurred

    And the police have fundamentaly agreed she was justified in her actions, and upheld this right, as shes not being charged.

    (Although personally I think they should threaten school officials with charges of conspiracy after the fact and abetting the dissemination of csam for the expulsion, to force them to recant it.)


  • Had a rich girlfriend for a while. At one point her dad grounded her, litterally. Revoked access to use the family jet(s) (they owned one, but prefered to use a private company that would just have them wheels up from anywhere to anywhere in like an hour, without all the hassle of maintenance schedules, pilot vacation days, etc.) She was in her 30s and had complete meltdown over it. She even refused to go to their house on fisher’s island for christmass because she wouldnt fly first class. So we had to throw our own party in town, with like 60k worth of catering for 10 guests.
