Well if you don't care what I think why bother with the propaganda?
You're right to be skeptical, just this particular grift isn't as obvious as it seems.
What you're describing just isn't compliant with tax law in any jurisdiction I'm aware of.
There's never been any consensus that I'm aware of. All the suggestions are cringey.
We're just users.
Define "the internet" though...
If you're expecting "the internet" to fill your cup with joy then sure, that's probably not going to work out.
That said, there's plenty of good bits that make life a lot easier.
These are certificates that a company purchases to show it is buying renewable energy-generated electricity to match a portion of its electricity consumption – the catch, though, is that the renewable energy in question doesn’t need to be consumed by a company’s facilities. Rather, the site of production can be anywhere from one town over to an ocean away.
If I understand this correctly, a tech firm with a data centre in Melbourne could buy RECs from Helsinki, pocket the certificate, and on-sell the energy to someone who needed it in Helsinki without the certificate?
Ok kiddo, I'm just gonna tell you the brutal truth.
Everyone likes the cheap stuff China makes, but we're not comfortable with how they run things, so every time we're reminded that they're going to be the dominant global super power by 2100 we freak out a bit.
Conversely, Muslims killing Muslims in a country that doesn't make anything we want isn't that important.
I'm not saying this is how things ought to be, but it is how things are.
Any commentary I've heard is talking about Pennsylvania. It's critically important to a win, and fracking is critically important to voters there.
That said, can't it be both?
I'm sure both campaigns have accepted donations from loads of shady industries. Crypto is a salient example.
Money wins elections, and the race being as close as it is I don't care where the dems are getting their money from.
I find myself saying this a lot, but if the left was going to win a convincing victory, they would have some scope for more progressive policy. There isn't any room, and they don't have that mandate.
Turns out a rich person can just buy a social media platform and fuck with elections and stuff.
"These migrants living in poverty have manageable and treatable health conditions!"
God this article is annoying to read.
What did Vance actually say ?
Did he say something analogous to "I admit that I created the pet-eating story about immigrants" ? Who knows?
This is the solution.
All names have problems but this one has the least.
