Like ok, the Republicans can't find anyone equally shitty to take over for this guy? The Governor can't appoint someone?

This just feels super wrong at this point.

I guarantee you that climate change and industrial loads will still be a thing in 16 years.

There is nothing utilitarian about taking ghoulish delight in the suffering of an evil old man.

He's falling apart and you're enjoying it because you hate him. At least be honest with yourself.

Hehehe pig poop so funny. Such great users, can't imagine why you're getting de-federated all over the place.

There are urgent needs we can't wait 50 years for.

Storage technology isn't there yet. Nuclear is. The only viable approach is "all of the above." Anything less is foolishness and oil industry propaganda.

Because it gets dark and the wind stops blowing and industry still operates when those things happen. Nuclear is not a forever solution, but a necessary stop-gap.

I'm not here to discuss oil and gas industry funded propaganda and disinfo.

Do you understand the difference between power outages and there being no infrastructure at all in the first place? And, AS I MENTIONED, Texas is in the spot it's in because they refuse to work with the rest of the grid.

The goalposts aren't moving, you just have no idea where they were. I'm guessing due to critical failures in reading comprehension or being paid in rubles.

Yes, clearly the US is a 3rd world country because some states experience occasional issues with their grids. This doesn't happen anywhere else in the "first world." Oh, wait.

If you're smelling shit, he that smelt it dealt it.

Or you could cut the playground crap and argue like a grownup, whatever.

Texas is a state, dear. Administrative incompetence notwithstanding, it still has better infrastructure than a good portion of the world and pretty much all of what we'd consider the "3rd world." And also, they only have the problems they have because they deliberately cut themselves off from the national grid.

It's hyperbole brought to you by keyboard doomers who've never left their state much less their country. Talk to me when huge regions lack electricity or indoor plumbing.

Anybody interested in seeing that can hop over the border to Tijuana and check out villages on hillsides essentially made from trash where all the buildings are particle board and cinder block. There's shitty parts of the rural south, but to claim they're the same demonstrates a profound lack of perspective. I dunno, maybe it's gotten better since the late 90s when I was there, but there are degrees to these things.

We can discuss America's fascism problem without being ridiculous muppets and or Kremlin/CCP propaganda vehicles.

Sparsely populated agricultural areas and shitholes like Bakersfield aren't common tourist destinations. You don't need to tell someone to avoid them. So yeah they're "deep red" in the sense that half a dozen yokels that live there are idiots, but they're very, very much in the minority.

And honestly, having traveled a bit, even California Conservatives aren't as Conservative as they think they are; a fact which becomes extremely apparent when they leave the state and then get slapped in the face with actual out and proud racism and they get othered for being from California.

It would be funny if it weren't so sad.

Oregon, Washington, and most of the Northeast are fine.

Just stay away from the South. This has always been good advice and remains good advice.

"So I Elected An Axe Murderer" has potential.

Implying the described behavior is actual learning and not farming for a GPA bump.

I mean ... in this case they're not wrong.

Earth is the Florida of the federation and humans are the Star Trek equivalent of gnomes.
