They say personnel is policy. Ultra-shitlib Michael Bloomberg demonstrates the principle:

The New York University State Energy & Environmental Impact Center’s fellowship—which Bloomberg’s eponymous philanthropic nonprofit provided two seed grants worth $5.6 million in 2017—has long placed and paid the salaries of officials in at least 10 state attorney general offices nationwide. Over the past two years, internal emails obtained by the Free Beacon show, the program has expanded to state-level public service commissions, often-overlooked agencies that regulate utility companies and permit energy infrastructure like pipelines and power plants. The commissions also implement state renewable energy standards that force power providers to generate electricity through pricier green sources.

Bloomberg might have been inspired by the über-neoliberal kingpin George Soros, who purchased higher crime rates throughout the country by installing shitlib district attorneys who side with criminals against their victims.

The center’s work in attorney general offices, where Bloomberg-funded fellows have participated in litigation accusing the fossil fuel industry of causing global warming, has prompted conflict-of-interest concerns over the use of private funding to drive public lawsuits. Its work in state regulatory agencies, on the other hand, is a new development—one that suggests the center and its funders seek to play a more active role pushing green energy development at the local level.

The purpose is to deprive normal people of electricity on behalf of libshit ideology. But with a net worth of $106 billion, Bloomberg himself will stay warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

Look who Bloomberg’s fellowship managed to install on the Louisiana Public Service Commission:
Rula Thabata, a DEI activist, former policy fellow at a Muslim advocacy group, and recent graduate of Loyola University Chicago School of Law. A job posting for the role echoed the 2023 contract, stating that the [NYU] fellow would be sponsored by the NYU impact center and handle regulatory matters related to the “clean energy future, climate change, [and] energy justice.”

“Energy justice” means only plutocrats like Bloomberg can afford energy.

Considering the evil their ideology allows to blossom, you might imagine neoliberals are ghouls, but they can be very sympathetic. Unfortunately, their sympathy is strangely misplaced. They won’t shed a tear for the 73 million children killed each year by abortion. But they do memorialize roadkill:
1750713876515.webp
In her “Roadside Memorial Project,” the Kentucky-based artist and activist L. A. Watson has been creating reflective silhouettes of animals, which she installs among the grass in the verges of roads in her home state wherever an animal of that species has been run over. They function both as a warning sign to drivers and as a memorial to the dead individual in question. …

In a similar project, the eco-artist Brian D. Collier builds roadside shrines for animals, complete with the date of death and a color picture of the deceased, akin to the ones we sometimes see erected along the road for people who have lost their lives in traffic accidents.

Bram Koese of Holland goes farther, having enlisted 25 assistants to help out in his roadkill memorial activities:
Together they assembled not one but 642 roadside shrines. … Each cross would come to represent a separate roadkill exactly at the spot where it had taken place. The name of the species and the date of its demise were stenciled on the crossbeam, and a picture of the live animal was placed next to a QR code that led to the record on the Observation International website, where a photo of the animal in its flattened state could be viewed.

Just in case Dutch motorists cannot find a better use for their time.

If anyone tried doing the same for aborted children in the Netherlands, they might be thrown in prison.

don't get me wrong, I'm very glad we've seemed to have avoided WW3 or GWOT2 Electric Boogaloo, but let's be honest, we probably just hit a few empty bases and whatever nuclear material Iran has (as well as their technology) was moved off site thanks to our forewarning, and Iran just shot a few missiles into the desert not hitting anything in response.

What was even the point of this gay little charade?

Are you aware of how big the equipment is? They didn't move that.

Well, apparently they also moved the uranium out beforehand, so the IAEA admits that they have no idea where it is. In other words: Lol!

LMAO even.

We’ve gotten to the point where even the POTUS admits that all this is theater. Jesus Christ man!

Remember that feeling in Jan and Feb that this was a transformative presidency and Trump had really learned the lessons from the first term.

Fuck, guess that was cope.

He has learned nothing. He’s contradicting his own Sec of Def and State, he’s humiliated Tulsi Gabbard (She will be out by the end of the year, mark my words.).

He’s palling around with neocons, and turning on people who are actually America Firsters like Massie and MTG, while backing and protecting RINOs like Graham.

“But Fapcop! Muh trannies! Muh illegals!”

Yeah, but for how long? Just like in the first Trump term they managed to sabotage him through internal sabotage and grinding the gears to a halt. Same thing will happen now. The neocons and RINOs are already inside the house. They’ll grind the actual positive things Trump 2.0 are doing to a halt, and push out effective non-RINOs and they’ll succeed because Trump will let himself get distracted by every shiny thing they’ll dangle in front of him, like Iran.

Don't lay it on so thick when trolling, supporting MTG like then when bitching about MAGA is more of a dead troll giveaway than the Babelfish for God's existance. Boooo, lazyyyy.

I'd actually appreciate an explanation of this, too. I noticed some protestors holding TACO signs in Lou Gagliardi's thread the other day, and I thought they were just expressing solidarity with Mexico or something.

I personally don't give a shit whether we do or do not help Israel. But a limited bombing campaign of relatively low cost and relatively low risk to American life is worth it to stop another bunch of crazies from getting the bomb. Assuming the scenario is true that they were working on it.

I really don't understand how people can suddenly be so up in arms about taking a couple extremely easy steps to prevent their backyard from becoming a mushroom cloud in a few years but completely gungho about a far more expensive proxy war in Ukraine with a much vaguer set of benefits for us.

Not so much people here I guess but the redditurds are out in full force against this after shilling Ukraine for years.
