The Biden Admin directed hundreds of billions to clean energy/manufacturing.
Did these investments shift public opinion?
We find that these projects are visible but not traceable: People notice nearby investments, but connect them to Governors, not Biden.

Dawg we're gonna need to make the American equivalent of Estonian e-citizenship cards after this, because *everyone* is going to have their SSN permanently compromised.
Need to start over from almost scratch. The SSN's already overdue to be reduced from password to unique semi-public alias.
Italy beats the USA 8-6
At a certain point it becomes a deliberate choice to keep on living in ignorance and most of the USian people make this choice every day
...any of the thousands of US Navy members current and former who have transited the Strait of Hormuz while Iran trolled the ship for shits and giggles can describe for you at least 3 ways they can close the Strait without attending any briefing.

Everyone, there is no need to panic about mines.
The Navy has kept four mine countermeasure vessels in the Persian Gulf for the past 35 years.
WAIT...what is that?
The minesweepers just arrived in the US to be decommissioned, but we have 3 Littoral Combat Ships (LCSs) that took their place.
like, yeah, it's The Year Of Our Decline 2026 and i probably *am* in fact more qualified than most of the White House, but so is my drunk cousin still trying to be cool with a mohawk and a Harley in his late 30s
nobody gets to call themselves failures with these bozos in charge of the US government
are you interested in other places for their own sake, not just as an extension of America? congratulations, you are already ahead of the majority of DC think tanks.
Γ bellissimo ma non me parlare di calcio β¦
My cat has more theory of mind then your average fascist
Yeah. I think they genuinely lack the theory of mind required to guess someone might be upset if you killed their family for content.
Donβt give him any ideas

I believe in stove touching and that's why oil should be 440 dollars
They trained it on DFW drivers
iβd like for some people to grapple with the fact that βthe most important election of our lifetime,β if you actually mean it, implies that the governance period following it is also the most important governance period of our lifetime, and adjust their demands/expectations/behaviors accordingly
this is also my ongoing frustration. you can not run for office on "democracy is under threat" and then lose and go "oh well, nice game everyone"
they put us in a constant state of hypervigilance & terror begging for our last $5 to save the country and then they do the joint softball game.
Inshallah
Sorry for being harsh, but when people come to you with a warning and you just dismiss it as "Zelenskyy moment"... Fuck around, find out. Too bad innocent people will be hurt because U.S. elite all consists of people named Holden Bloodfeast and Rothley Bronthoffer III.
Itβs just hitting me now that this almost certainly got back burnered because itβs not βlethalityβ
Incidentally itβs very weird that a game like Stardew Valley exists and future generations will almost certainly see it as a socially acceptable outlet for deep-rooted antisocial impulses that no generation of humanity will ever be able to fully control
That this war with Iran is unpopular in a way never before recorded in American history has seen remarkably little attention from the press
Idk, Iβm definitely not a fan of a lot of industrialized food practices, but automating away millions of man-hours of literally back-breaking labor has basically been the entire goal of human civilization since ΓatalhΓΆyΓΌk for a very good reason
We also have machines that harvest wheat and cotton and sugar instead of having to do all of that hard work by (usually enslaved or functionally enslaved) hand
Olive oil is a multibillion dollar a year industry (and a easy target for fraudsters in the Camorra) because we invented a machine that gets the olives off the trees before they rot and now olive oil tastes good instead of like a hay bale thatβs been left out in the October storms
Until the invention of the tortilla machine, it wasnβt uncommon for working class women in Mexico to spend 5 hours per DAY grinding out corn tortillas.
