Self signed certs about to get even more popular.

"Homegrowns" itself is such a weird way to say "american citizens."

I cant tell if its just his drug-addled brain coming up with weird slang or its something elon shared from a DOGE boy.

Either way, it lets them avoid saying "we will deport Americans" directly while still floating the idea and getting the infrastructure in place.

That "less than a single year" was at the beginning of covid, and his malicious and cavalier response to a global plague hitting american shores led to a million dead Americans.

He was way more impactful about what happened with covid then anyone else, from allowing people to fly in unscreened to the states, from refusing to send out masks and tests, to pushing UV/disinfectant/invermeton, for refusing to help blue states early on because "it was good politically," on and on and on.

Using the stock market growth of the last 2 decades of global, neoliberal economic politics to council people to "think long term" about their investments at the start of isolationist, fascist economics policy is maybe not the best idea.

"Look at the past" only works when the past is still relevant. They are ripping up every norm and institution that made those past gains possible.

That she is mega wealthy, which provides the support for all her endeavors, but thinks shes successful because of personal effort.

This is what every wealthy person says to pretend their life is based on merit instead of a rotting system of exploitation.

You joke, but that was literally a defense that an InfoWars "reporter" used when confronted by hbomberguy about why their terrible supplements had soy as the main ingredient.

He quiped that they had to put soy in the super "man pill" they were selling just to keep men from being too virile. Of course, the infowars pill had far, far less of this "virile" ingredient than other cheaper pills, and the ingredient itself is generally derived from, get this, soy.

Coals been around for around 200 years, gas for 100+. Solar just got inexpensive 10yrs ago. We have to give it time, even if we don't have it.

This is overall great news. It's surprisingly even better when you consider that renewables don't need to be a 1 to 1 replacement of fossil fuel due to their massive energy efficiency and not having to transport fossil fuels around. Just moving coal and gas around, not even burning it, is a huge factor in climate change.

This video goes into it deeper in a fascinating way way.

To TL;DR the video, fossil fuels are amazingly inefficient, meaning you need a lot of them to produce the same amount of power as renewables. If you move heating to electric, cars and trains to electric, and home appliances to electric, due to the power efficiency of renewables and not needing to move fossil fuels across the earth, you need way, way less total generation of power, to the tune of just 40-50% as much.
