Trains are easy and they’re easily electrified already. So putting solar on the trains won’t have any advantage.

Rails are the difficult part of railways. They never seem to put them between my house and my work. They’ve put something called a road in between instead.

Not when you consider the maintenance costs of the plants they closed. Basically of them were beyond original design life.

And the democracy sausage!

Because by having a private company “screen” people there’s added corruption.

He gets to simply sell clearances to private companies.

From the typical Conservative viewpoint this makes no sense.

“The state provision needs to be better or this needs to stay illegal”

So if the state can’t provide a service, neither can the private sector.

Extend that logic and Streeting is a hardcore socialist.

He’s not voting with any of his stated principles, which is proof he has none.

1st attempt was a republican shooter. He was

2nd attempt didn’t actually happen. They didn’t see Trump or draw their weapon. It was just someone who owned a gun in America.

Resign from the senate.

Holds up Spork

She read Ayn Rand, Hayek simplified by tax cut lobbists and no conflicting positions.

Most of what she did was wrong and people knew at the time. But she fooled enough voters like Regan.

In the UK the Conservative party decided to get rid of DEI initiatives in education. When?

When the minority specifically recommended to be targeted for support became poor/working class white boys.

Conservatives will go out of their way to harm the working class because as long as things are going badly for them they’ll be angry enough to vote for the ones with dog whistles pretending it’s someone else’s fault.

iPods had an 82% share of the US market at the time the term was first used.

At the time a “broadcast” to you iPod made the name podcast pretty understandable.

And there’s not much else I could think of to call it given technology at the time.

MP3 player was the generic term. But MP3 cast feels clunky.

I did hear audioblog used. But they weren’t all blogs.

It really comes down to the fact that at the time everyone knew “pod” meant “iPod” and that’s it.
