This would be the equivalent of sports coverage devoting itself to reporting on gambling markets instead of the game. Because real reporting on real stories is hard.

next you'll tell me that getting power out of a big flat panel made of sand with no moving parts that just turns free sunlight into electricity is way cheaper than finding a rock deep below ground that secretly has flammable juice and digging a big straw down and slurping it up and exploding it.

I think it's ill-advised and anti-democratic to introduce an omnibus bill, cite a crisis, and rush major changes to labour and environmental law. It's going to provoke aggressive resistance and risks, ironically, slowing down the projects the government is so keen on. It's going to be a huge mess.

In June I did a calculation of the downstream environmental and harm of a strike on a refinery like this, and I’ll repost it here: The Moscow Oil Refinery processes 12M tonnes of crude a year, ≈ 240,000 barrels a day. It's in a residential area, with people living within 500m of the tanks.

I am in fact extremely angry about Bush v. Gore and have written about it often. But that's the side Ralph Nader was on. Bush winning wasn't an incidental byproduct of Nader's campaign -- it was the outcome he sought to achieve and did (by, for example, refusing to stop running in swing states)

worth tying this into the political economy of the slave south as well. from roughly the 1820s onwards, slavery became enormously lucrative in ways that had never been seen before. slave traders became millionaires. large planters had tremendous purchasing power. just huge amounts of wealth.

This is demonstrably, measurably improving the health of the people who live there. Most notably, it increases the respiratory *& cognitive* health of children. They literally do better in school. If this country really gave a shit about children, this would be at the top of the public-policy list.

After FDR cleaned up the mess created by Calvin Coolidge and blamed on Herbert Hoover, Democrats spent decades reminding voters what the two parties had done. In recent generations, that basic act of politicking has been deemed impolite by Democratic leaders. That needs to end.
