Almost all government policy is wrong, but...frightfully well carried out

@MeghanEMurphy @zigmund_ignatov @TesoriDeiRe Is being miserable a choice?

[Apelham @Apelham8]

@ZaidJilani Can you read off a teleprompter?

[Apelham @Apelham8]

@SpiringDC @mooseincrisis I'm reasonably sure there's no middle ground with "sadistic", its binary, like pregnancy. Either you are, or your aren't.

@Heccles94 I don't think he has, mate.

@RockChartrand @mcsquared34 It's always "Seize the means of Production!" and never "Create the means of Production!"...

@waysandmeans71 @BenMullin @bariweiss Then she's a great fit for CBS, isn't she?

@BritniDWrites They need to start teaching Civics in schools again...

[Apelham @Apelham8]

@gmokery @BlackDumpling Well given most construction stopped in the 80's that makes sense. Lack of institutional knowledge and other roadblocks causing delays always play a role.

Except in China. They have like 35 under construction at the moment.

@joerussotweets Can you explain why you believe he will be worse than the current/previous mayors?

@gmokery @BlackDumpling That's what happens when you quit building the for 30 years then run into regulatory hoops and Nimbyism.
As I mentioned befirw, the US military doesn't seem to ha e the same issues the civilian sector does, why do you think that is?

[Apelham @Apelham8]

Lack of domestic experience in building reactor parts, a new reactor design, the NRC mandating design changes late in construction, and Westinghouse going broke as a result are responsible for that.

Consider how many nuclear reactors for the Navy have been delivered the past three decades, and ask if that were possible if they had to go thru the NRC...

[Apelham @Apelham8]

Three Mile Island killed US Nuclear.
While noone died, and there were a lot of good lessons to take away from it. That the NRC imposed a temporary moratorium on licensing new reactors immediately after the accident. Although lifted, the new regulatory environment, rising costs and public opposition, led to the cancellation of over 100 facilities.
No new plants constructed after three mile were completed until the Vogtle plants.

@worldwidewade @4HumanUnity This is the tent they had to hold the State Dinner in when Obama hosted Modi.

Now imagine it in the rain...

[Apelham @Apelham8]

@lotusgdess @RadioFreeTom And the other side wasn't as obvious?

[Apelham @Apelham8]

@MCCCANM The windmill on Seven is a problem....

[Apelham @Apelham8]

@harryjsisson Did he pay pay off the State debt and underfunded pensions as well, or no?

[Apelham @Apelham8]

@LePapillonBlu2 So hosting State Dinners and other large events in tents on the White House lawn is better?
