It's not like the Dem base will switch their votes to Trump.
At this point, now that the nominees are decided, the political game is to attract the swing vote, which is mostly "tough on crime," anti-imigration, and anti-taxation (as it applies to them directly).
Even though none of these policies are actually good for those in the middle.
The difference is that Nixon was able to secure a pardoned in exchange for fucking off and staying out of the public eye. And to be fair, he held up his end of the deal.
Unfortunately, I think it's been demonstrated that OpenAI will feed your data into their training pipeline whether you like it or not. They did this with YouTube. And they demonstrated this with Scarlett Johanson. (Even if they used a voice actor instead of actually scraping voice clips of her, it's still unethical.)
So we knew they'd just scrape these articles anyway. This way, at least the publications get paid.
My question is: what are the concrete desires of the capital class that are being threatened?
Someone else said "oil" which is fair I guess, but very clearly a diminishing return when it's clear that energy independence is valuable for the capital class if they control the transition, a la Elon.
So again, what do the wealthy have to gain or lose from these protests, specifically?
The number of electoral votes and the number of reps is based on population and is decided by the census.
So if this happens, at the latest, the votes would get fixed in 2031. But I wouldn't be surprised if this is part of the deal. Obviously those switching to Idaho want to bring their votes with them.
Like, the US has a law on the books allowing the president to unilaterally order an invasion of the Netherlands if the ICC tries to prosecute an American.
Sweatshirts are double-layered pullovers, typically non-woven. Sweaters are single-layer pullovers, typically knit. Jackets have buttons or zippers. Hoodies have hoods and are made of fabric (e.g. raincoats are not hoodies).
You can have hoodies that are also sweatshirts, or hoodies that are also jackets.
This garment pictured in your post is a jacket. It is also a hoodie. It is neither a sweatshirt nor a sweater.
This is just my interpretation of the situation. I don't know of any formal classification system for outerwear.
What I'm saying is that the cost to develop hydrogen infrastructure, the complexity of it's distribution, the risk due to its high volatility, and the uncertainty of a relatively underdeveloped technology all seem to be losing to batteries, which are very mature tech and are already in the supply chain and for which we already have a well developed electricity distribution grid.
I just don't see what investing in fuel cells will do other than slow the adoption of zero emission vehicles by another decade.
