OJ Simpson is 100% less guilty than Donald Trump.

@flameosumeet @TCAZ1776 and why are LIV golf fans so much more liberal than PGA golf fans?

[BlueFredneck @BlueFredneck]

@InlandCaGuy defeats the actual Dem nominee, the Dem party for that state would determine who gets to be elected. This would allow general election voters veto overzealous primary voters.

[BlueFredneck @BlueFredneck]

@InlandCaGuy There really needs to be a "Dem, but not this one" and a "Republican, but not this one" line on the ballot. Sort of a post-hoc up or down post-primary. Basically the first order of November would be to determine which party gets elected, then, if the "Dem but not this one"

[BlueFredneck @BlueFredneck]

@TransGirl wait you're offering 80% of the list price or offering under 80% of the list price? The former is hardball negotiating, the latter is the RE equivalent of vexatious litigation.

@ChrisAlvino The only caveat might be if she isn't doing any of the work and is demanding precision of a fully paid for yard service. Remember you're interviewing her too!

@constans We should but it seems utilities either pass along the costs to us anyway, or new capacity is opposed or sued

[BlueFredneck @BlueFredneck]

@constans DO vegan restaurants require zillions of new gigawatt-hours and raise my electric bill?

[BlueFredneck @BlueFredneck]

@ReubenR80027912 Euro racism requires upper level undergrad courses in racism for an American to understand

[BlueFredneck @BlueFredneck]

@ReubenR80027912 Also Euros got the Josephine Bakers of the world through maybe the 70s

@constans @mangrove_t And the Diamond Joe Biden character in The Onion!

@InlandCaGuy @MeghanEMurphy My wife is diagnosed bipolar and probably has BPD. I'll admit after outbursts I really just view sex as "one more chore to keep her happy"

[BlueFredneck @BlueFredneck]

@DerekPederson3 Basically this gives candidates an incentive to appeal to the middle and it allows for scandal ridden candidates to get pushed aside

[BlueFredneck @BlueFredneck]

@DerekPederson3 My wish would be for general election lines the boil down to "Dem. But NOT that Dem." You add the nominee and the "not that Dem" line and if the Dem total is greater than the GOP total, then either the nominee wins or the central committee decides on someone else.

[BlueFredneck @BlueFredneck]

@ItsJakePerry @dwallacewells Meh, data center supporters need to make a more convincing case, then. Power bills are going up, local govts being Foxconned is a legit fear, and fears AI will lead to the "creative" in "creative destruction" being silent should at least be addressed as opposed to dismissed.

[BlueFredneck @BlueFredneck]

@PepperChao @dwallacewells Inflation has calmed down but Baumol's disease makes inflation seem worse than it is. But with that said, power bills are real, the fear of being Foxconned is legit, and creative destruction destroying quicker than it creates are all real fears.

[BlueFredneck @BlueFredneck]

@CREID2852 @DerekPederson3 I think that's the thing, creative destruction is going faster than people's ability to re-invent themselves. Also Baumol's disease is taking away a lot of the possible benefits of all this creative destruction.

[BlueFredneck @BlueFredneck]

@DerekPederson3 Right now, data centers are a null issue for me. I'm vaguely supportive of them if there's guaranteed money for local governments and enough slack in the electrical grids, but to pretend they're absolute goods with zero downside or zero need to persuade skeptics?

[BlueFredneck @BlueFredneck]

@DerekPederson3 Why the need for so many data centers so suddenly, everywhere? What happens if the data center demand/financing/etc. fall through? How much money are localities guaranteed? While water may be overblown, electrical concerns seem to have some basis in reality.

[BlueFredneck @BlueFredneck]

@Phiophills @DerekPederson3 electricity prices are going up across the northeast. Water use is barely anything, that is correct. Also there is the sense that somehow the expected tax $$$ and jobs (even temp construction jobs) will somehow not show up (see: Foxconn plant in WI).
