  1. I wonder how many similarly important but obscure and silly-sounding lines of study have just been ended due to the ongoing, irrational shark frenzy in the name of cost-cutting but really only benefit rampant corruption.
  2. Post it in the protest song thread. https://www.surlyhorns.com/board/topic/788-protest-songs/?do=getNewComment Edit: We have musicians. Maybe someone will revise it.
  3. CORRUPTION This has to be the message. It’s not ideological, and everyone understands it. Hammer that message repeatedly for everyfuckingthing. It’s not a lie, and it’s not even bending the truth. Corruption is the key. Tie everything to it incessantly.
  4. Wonderful thing about this site is you can read the content sans giving the fuckers a click. https://archive.is/qr37m

  6. Catching up after a long afternoon and early evening of travel. Also, accidentally quoted these in the wrong order. Pato is halfway to my answer, which I’ve held in the back of my head while getting through the thread. Apologies. The other half of the response would be the long-term goal of controlling natural resources, especially water, as the Earth starts to fry while also providing an outlet for the mass migration of Americans to cooler climes. The same goes for Greenland. It’s certainly neither moral nor ethical, but if you’re a megalomaniac planning to carve up the globe, it makes a certain amount of sense.

  10. Yeah, I read that Malcolm Nance assessment, too. Sounds fucking insane, yet here we are.
  11. TFG is slapping a 50% tariff on Canadian steel and aluminum. He goes on to say he'll kill their (and our) auto industry, along with continued threats to annex a peaceful, sovereign neighbor.
  12. https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/solar-accounted-84-new-us-power-added-2024-report-says-2025-03-11/ March 11 (Reuters) - Solar energy accounted for 84% of new electricity generation capacity added to the U.S. power grid last year, but the industry faces a challenging future with the new U.S. administration's energy policies, a report published on Tuesday said. The country installed 50 gigawatts (GW) of new solar capacity in 2024, the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and Wood Mackenzie groups said in the report, adding that 2024 was largest single year of growth by any energy technology in over two decades. WHY IT IS IMPORTANT The solar industry was a major beneficiary of subsidies contained in former President Joe Biden's landmark 2022 climate change law, the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The Trump administration has said it was reviewing federal funding plans, and any removal of tax credits issued under the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act would impact clean energy deployment. The clean-energy sector has been on high alert since the election of Donald Trump, whose first executive orders prioritized unleashing U.S. fossil-fuel production, paused federal wind projects and froze funding for clean-energy projects from two Biden-era laws. BY THE NUMBERS Total U.S. solar capacity is expected to reach 739 GW by 2035, the report said, warning that changes to federal tax credits, supply chain availability, and permitting policy will cause slowdown in solar deployment. The low case forecast showed a 130 GW decline in solar deployment over the next decade compared to the base case, representing nearly $250 billion of lost investment, according to the report. KEY QUOTES "Last year’s record-level of installations was aided by several solar policies and credits within the Inflation Reduction Act that helped drive interest in the solar market," said Sylvia Levya Martinez, Principal Analyst, North America Utility-Scale Solar for Wood Mackenzie. "We still have many challenges ahead, including unprecedented load growth on the power grid. If many of these policies were eliminated or significantly altered, it would be very detrimental to the industry's continued growth."
  13. Trump says he will double tariffs on Canada metals to 50% WASHINGTON, March 11 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump on Tuesday doubled his planned tariff on all steel and aluminum products coming into the United States from Canada, bringing the total to 50%, in response to the province of Ontario placing, opens new tab a 25% tariff on electricity coming into the U.S. Trump said in a post on Truth Social he has instructed his commerce secretary to add an additional 25% tariff on the products that will go into effect on Wednesday morning.
