Actually, live your life normally, use your AC in whatever manner keeps you comfortable, and if the grid collapses make them explain why we don’t have power generation capacity sufficient to our needs as a city, and make them fix it by building more capacity.
Do not acquiesce or normalize any of this. Nothing socialists say can be taken in good faith.
They want to take away AC permanently (as they have in Europe) and they will do it first by getting you used to the idea that your AC must be turned down for ‘the greater good’, then by making it more expensive to purchase and operate through higher energy costs (also already happening), and finally by regulating it out of existence.
Just say no.
Notice the opening. "When we gain power." Not when we are trusted to restore liberty to the individual, not when we earn the right to protect a free people, but when we gain power. That is how a man thinks who sees government as a weapon to wield, not a servant to restrain.
Then read the method: "through executive action." He proposes to reshape the entire labor economy by decree, bypassing Congress, the branch that actually makes law. That is not a republic or even a democracy. It is rule by pen, the tool of a man who cannot win the argument and so skips the legislature entirely.
And the substance is force. "Tie federal contracts to union recognition" means using the taxpayer's money to coerce workers and employers into an arrangement they never chose. @RoKhanna calls it standing up for the working class. It is standing on their necks and calling it help.
A free man does not need you to "gain power" over him. He needs someone to defend his right to his own life which means to leave him free to produce and trade and keep what he earns.
I am not making less because Elon has more.
I am making less because politicians like you keep taking more of it.
And what little I am left with must be used to buy things that your policies constantly make more expensive.
Glad I could clear that up for you.
"Houston is green [lots of kids] nearly to its core, w/ family-heavy neighborhoods sitting close to downtown. Los Angeles is mostly orange/tan [no/few kids], its children pushed into a handful of pockets.. both sprawling Sun Belt metros, yet one is visibly a place that raises children & the other, increasingly, is not."
