Renewables are fantastic - we should build lots of them! - but by themselves offer little insulation from oil price shocks. Renewables mainly make electricity; oil mainly does not. It's renewables plus electrification that let countries outgrow dependence on global oil markets.

Seeing Tulsi Gabbard say “the president determines what is an imminent threat not the intelligence community”, reinforced to me how much jeopardy we’re in. WTF

AOC: We rely on hundreds of thousands of home care workers across the country. This labor force is going to expand a lot as more of our parents reach older age, and these folks need to be paid a fair wage. These are some of the most exploited workers in the country.

Trump's political incompetence has done far more than damage the Allies the USA has counted on for years. Now many countries of the world are debating becoming "Nuclear" so that they can defend themselves. This makes the world far more UNSAFE and is a direct result of Trump's stupidity.

In just the first week of its military assault on Iran, the US spent $11.3bn for American taxpayer-funded bombs that caused hundreds of deaths. The figure does not capture the full cost of the conflict, such as deployment of forces, and will now be far higher given the ongoing nature of the war.
A chart that shows the cost of the first week of the Iran war relative to other government agencies. The week total of $11.3 billion was less than the fiscal year budget for NASA, but more than the CDC, the EPA, the National Science Foundation and the National Cancer Institute
