A labor union president getting detained for interfering with ICE operations is good symbolism for the state American liberals are in.
"Unions are about workers rights, now import millions of illegal and foreign labor who will suppress wages and undermind safety standards!"
Funny how the only defences people can muster up in support of unions either a) shit that happened a century ago and b) calling you snarl words.
What Elon wants is this.

It's even worse than that. You have olive trees that are centuries old that are being cut down and replaced with these fucking solar panels. Not just food, but cultural heritage, is being replaced with throwaway solar panels filled with heavy metals. Pretty apt metaphor.
He's really mad about the Big Beautiful Bill cutting his solar subsidies:

Solar energy has always been a massive grift, even all the way back to the Obama admin with things like Solyndra.

WASHINGTON — A top White House aide is taking the blame for helping trigger President Trump’s fiery clash with Elon Musk — after speaking for months about giving the billionaire “payback” and even gloating to colleagues when Tesla’s stock price dropped, The Post has learned.
Interesting. I do wonder if this will come back to bite Trump, or perhaps lead to the aide's removal. With the amount of snakes that Trump had to deal with in his first administration, I can't imagine he appreciates shit-stirrers amongst his staff.

China also has just a ton of useless desert and wasteland and a complete disregard of the environment, so they can slam down mass solar panels. Assuming they're not just lying through the teeth about it, because China lies about everything. I'm sure he'd love solar too, given the degradation of photovoltaic cells he'd make bank replacing them all the time. The future is the Atom and any good deeds Jimmy Carter did in his life are completely undone by the damage he did to our nuclear industry. Placing the grid under the tender mercies of the fucking clouds, especially when other retarded billionaire plutocrats want to seed the clouds to produce even more cloud cover, is the dumbest fucking idea in the world. There's enough fissile material in the planet to keep us in power until the Sun swallows the Earth.
Don't forget, we need to seed more clouds to block out the sun and reverse Global Warming Climate Change


Solar doesn't work in places that don't get a ton of sunlight. Or where its cloudy a lot. Or in the winter. Or when it snows.
Nuclear doesn't have that problem. Rain, Snow, Sleet, or Sunshine, you're getting power. As long as the lines delivering it are up and working.
Solar has its advantages and disadvantages, causing situations where it's the right solution, and situations where it's the wrong solution. Musk is showing the usual autistic hyperfocus, focusing only on solar's advantages, and disregarding its disadvantages. Tesla offers solar roof tiles (Archive). I'm waiting for Tesla to offer solar train services or to get in on the market for solar roads (Archive).

Unfortunately, because of the reasons you cite, solar is unsuitable for base-load applications. Further, demand for space heating/cooling tends to lag the peak output of the solar cycle, so solar generation not backed by sufficient storage is not great for peak load following, either.

But because Musk is an autistic retard, all the problems intrinsic to solar not only are not engineering problems that can be cleverly overcome with diligent research and development, they simply don't exist. Solar must be deployed everywhere, and Trump has to fund it, now now Now NOW NOW!
 
I think we all agree the 2020's are the craziest decade since at least the 1940's, right? 60's would be a contender but all the cool shit didn't happen till like, 1965.
It's been pretty crazy, indeed. I'm still betting on a nuclear incident, or "accident", by the end of the decade.
 
I am officially demanding apologies from everyone that negrated this post I made last week. Apologies can be made in the form of direct replies to this post, or by buying me T&H. Failure to comply will result in further reprimands and e-begging.
Don't bother. USPG2 has been going full "trust the plan" for the last couple months. If the DJT regulars thought it was an echo chamber 2 years ago, they should check us out now.
 
He's going to create a third party with 80% of the middle class, or something.
Ayy


He's going to use "the drugs" as scapegoat for his retardation, check himself into rehab for a month, then re-emerge as a reborn individual. And people will eat it up.
Last time he was able to use Vivek as the scapegoat. Very lucky. This time he will use his addiction. I wonder what next time's excuse will be.
That won’t happen until he finds himself at the end of the Santa Monica pier eating a cheeseburger from Burger King.
