The left tried for decades to pass green energy subsidies, passed them, the subsidies worked, and now literally the entire planet's electricity grid is going to convert to solar+battery. It just doesn't feel like "tech" because it mostly produces kinda boring blue collar jobs instead of billionaires
is there a technology that "the left" is excited about?

The left is missing out on AI
As a movement, it has largely refused to engage seriously with AI, ceding debate about a threat and opportunity to the right

Pretty sure Wuthering Heights would be getting a lot better reviews if they’d used my theme tune that I sent them.
Yes, I know I’m just singing Wuthering Heights to the tune of Blankety Blank but it’s catchy as fuck and will let everyone know they’re in for a good time at the flicks.

Church historians now believe that St Pancake was not actually martyred by being flattened by a series of increasingly heavy weights, but rather was burnt alive in a giant pan. The former death is now attributed to Pseudo-Pancake the Areopagite, as attested in the Codex Libum of Nicomedia.
