      As long as money keeps showing up in the bank accounts of members of Congress, they don’t care how the rest of it is spent anymore.

      The only real hedge against that is to install rooftop solar

          “Just be a homeowner”

          Frustrating to see the libertarian ideology of economic isolationism persist in an increasingly fascistic economy.

          As though even home ownership spares you from artificially high home installation prices created by the Trump tarrifs

        Some states moving to make that illegal, or making you pay the electric company for not being connected

    This screws over the north east with less energy. Trump/GOP likes to cancel their projects then point that them for mismanagement. North east has to import energy, and boats from TX/LA count as imports. With Jones act shipping rates.

    I have an idea: why don’t we all come up with the money to build a huge glass dome to put over the US so they fuck themselves and leave the rest of us alone? When their air becomes breathable again (say, in 100 years from now), we can remove it and let them be part of the planet again… if they are not a wasteland by then.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
