Oh ok I thought they were implying it was a recent thing. Well lol then if “you can’t have ever been conservative/Republican” then you basically might as well ban most white people from politics. (do that anyway) https://twitter.com/repmarkpocan/status/1022576682736214019?s=21

Everything I've seen suggests fully-renewable electricity generation in Europe explicitly requires an inter-continental electrical grid and significant solar capacity installed in North Africa. That's one of the myths that don't seem to die. https://www.ise.fraunhofer.de/content/dam/ise/en/documents/publications/studies/recent-facts-about-photovoltaics-in-germany.pdf Around page 50 they start talking about envisioning a feasible near 100% renewable energy system in Germany contingent on energy storage technologies maturing in that time frame.

What's makes this extra stupid is that it's because they didn't meet their growth numbers and only have a little over 2 billion accounts at the end of June. I mean it's not like there is an upper limit on the number of humans on this planet let alone ones with an electronic device and wi-fi.

This is really great stuff. I'm very pleased they all signed on for this letter, because hooooly poo poo, the Brazilian government's case against Lula is cartoonishly flimsy. The far right there is doing everything it can to turn the clock back to the 70's. Hieronymous Alloy posted:Wait, your problem is he used an outdated term for Russians? It is pretty red bait-y. People don't tend to conflate the two that readily, unless they're A, old as hell, or B, trying to tap into reflexive, long-conditioned hatred of a long-dead regime.

It goes in the other direction too: an otherwise dogshit company can see a bump in their stock price if they have an unexpectedly good quarter.

At least one of them had political opinions that were definitely of their time. I'm just hoping an email I sent to an old state governor was deleted after his leave. Another school project I'd be ashamed of today.

MSDOS KAPITAL posted:This is a serious problem with unions when they're a response to capitalism and content to work within that framework as opposed to an organization that is first and foremost about worker empowerment. If you're in any kind of leadership position at a union and you aren't socialist or at least soc-curious you need to Get The gently caress Out. What would this entail, exactly?

MSDOS KAPITAL posted:I'm not sure what you mean by "this" but IMO the purpose of unions isn't just to bargain with capitalists on behalf of workers or whatever the gently caress, but to lever power out of the hands of capitalists and to the workers they represent (which is all workers, naturally), taking control and eventually ownership of their companies and industries. I think a vanishingly small number of people in the US would describe unions even remotely close to that these days. Whatever they SHOULD be, no one thinks of them in those terms.

By this I meant, what should unions/union leaders be doing to achieve the transition, in the immediate sense? Basically what I’m saying is that conceptually I agree with you but I’m not actually sure what that means/looks like exactly.

So I guess most of our existing union infrastructure in this country is kinda dead weight and I'm not sure how much of it is worth salvaging. Not a lot. e: Oh, in terms of levering the capitalists out on their asses: unions negotiate for board representation. Then they demand and receive majority board representation or the workers loving walk and the company ceases to be a going concern. Unions achieve this across entire industries and they work to elect politicians that make this just a mandatory thing that all companies have to do. Investors take the back seat where they loving belong and thank us for the privilege. MSDOS KAPITAL fucked around with this message at 08:19 on Jul 27, 2018 |

I dunno, I kinda think after that twitter thread where all of Haberman's pro Trump reporting was laid out over the years combined with them helping Cheney start the Iraq war in recent history not to ignore the incredibly screwed focus on Hilary emails versus any GOP scandal they are pretty clearly another Republican outlet. The real issue is why liberals think they are an ally and it's probably because they cater to upper class professionals which Democrats are willing to destroy their party to chase. Edit: also their endless series of articles trying to normalize fascism like the latest where the oppressed conservative high schoolers watch Fox News because it isn't controlled by big business.
