What democracy? It's fascism or fascism light. I'm voting for Kamala because I'm practical. But let's not pretend this is about democracy. Because the choice is a false one.

This country is run by money and privilege. Not our votes.

Because you all have a hate hard on?

Like how much do you all hate this person that you downvote them being polite after I correct them misgendering me?

If you don't like somebody's politics down vote the politics but don't hate on the person.

People even down voting you for being polite.

I see all your down votes and I can't help thinking shut up I'm talking.

It's like lemmy forgot about genocide and is just trying to get back to brunch ever since Biden dropped.

The article is basically about economies of scale.

Large solar farms are much cheaper to set up per kilowatt hour of electricity produced than home-based solar panels.

But large solar farms are generally owned by corporations.

So the issue isn't solar but again capitalism. If we had a socialized or cooperative solar farm people could invest in, rather than putting panels on their homes, we would all be better off and get our solar for cheaper.

Of course, we could just socialize the electric companies. And considering the climate crisis is an emergency (hurricanes for example), it would be within the powers of the federal government in the United States to do this.

But, the fossil fuel industry would throw a fit, and we'd see somebody like President Trump get elected because campaign donations are really what tend to determine our elections.

So, the first step should really be socializing the fossil fuel industry. And then smaller electric companies.

Progressive voters, moderate donors.

At least, that's the plan.

What happens is you can't appeal to both well.

Let's get oligarchs money out of politics please.

Probably not. A month isn't long and that dose is low.

You may have slight withdrawals. Exercise, stretching, and anything people do for alcohol withdrawal can help.
