Was wondering how long it would take to roll something like this out. Bout time.

I didn’t say 330 million registered voters. I said 330 million people, as in total population of the country including all nonvoters and ineligible.

At any rate, I don’t think any singular factor dominated, each person has their own mix of issues. Economy was a big one, including things like rent prices that the feds have little control over in our system. Gaza was a smaller one, definitely. There’s at least a dozen more.

Polls cannot really accurately capture this, they’re too clumsy a tool. Focus groups can though.

There are around 50 million registered dems in the country and Harris is currently sitting at around 70 million votes. Our problem is everyone else in a country with 330 million people.

Keep the faith, Brits. Perhaps Brexit washed some of the insanity out early enough that the far right continues to struggle there.

Hopefully we’re not slowly returning to the Napoleonic Era, I’m not sure you guys could withstand all of continental Europe a third time.

Try to make sure you’re not fighting with it. As thoughts enter your head, simply let them, then let them drift away as you very mildly try to reassert your attention on whatever focus you’ve chosen. I’ve heard it described as “observing your own thoughts”. Watch them come in, watch them go.

You could easily direct towards this evidence of specific solar companies, that would not be personally identifying in the slightest. You cannot because you are fabricating.

Failing to support your arguments is a fundamental failing of intellectual honesty, which is fully in-line with the goals of a propagandist. You are ceasing the conversation because I easily backed you into a corner you cannot escape from. Buh-bye.

Hey, you said you had insider knowledge you are seemingly reluctant to share. That’s a “trust me bro” when only a fool would trust an anonymous person on the internet.

Yes, “go look into specific thing” is a re-wording of “go do your own research”. The goal is “find and believe the same bullshit that manipulates me”.

Like I said, demand has increased. Supply is following it. This is the intended function of capitalism, for better or for worse. Supply follows demand, because, sadly, personal profit is a powerful psychological motivator.

The signs of conspiracy theory are “trust me bro, totally got insider knowledge here” and “go do your own research”.

These are both convenient evasions performed when someone is lying.

Or, y’know, you could just support your claims instead of tossing out a right wing nutjob-style “do your own research”. Fortunately I’ve been around enough conspiracy theories in my life that they’ve become pretty easy to see through.

Very convenient. You duck requests for evidence very fluidly, like a true propagandist. I imagine your parents must be very proud of your abilities at manipulation.

You want to provide any evidence for that assertion?

No, actually it went heavily to infrastructure to facilitate future technology, things like electric vehicle charging stations and energy grid, along with more mundane stuff like bridge maintenance and replacement. This stimulates demand, which supply naturally follows in the quest for profits-above-all-else.

Not sure how an industry seeing such demand is projected to fail shortly.

SVB wasn’t bailed out, it was actually seized. It failed after a bank run following a lot of risky investments into new tech startups, which is a naturally high risk market. It was not due to some sort of failure in the broader solar industry.

Makes sense, Biden’s big investment was just a few years ago. A single year out for medium-sized facilities is very manageable though. Hopefully demand continues to increase alongside production, and it remains a years wait for several years. That would be a sign that demand is continuing to increase.

Yes, most certainly. Spikes in demand can do that. If 71% growth remains consistent, it’ll be resolved in short order. Though it’ll probably dip as the overall manufacturing capacity increases, since its just a percentage of the total.

US manufacturing currently sat at 26 GW annually, with a 71% increase in the first quarter of the year. Demand being high is also unsurprising.

Well, my position is not exactly in agreement. While I was curious, I think there are far more reasons to apply tariffs to certain products than simply wanting another cold war.

Fair enough. Thank you for the clarification.

So wait, are you for free trade then, even though it results in exploitation of overseas workers and environments not granted the same degree of protections? Or is it just okay this time, since global warming is so dangerous?

Oh, I see. That is really tiny.

Congrats.

Is Terre Haute really that poor? Not what I’d expect from the hometown of one of our country’s most premier private technical colleges. Usually a college contributes quite a bit to the local economy, and that’s a fancy one.
