Was really wonderful seeing how Beirut has progressed since the blast. When I visited in 2018, the city was still almost entirely dark at night. Now, even street lamps have their own solar panels. Polycrisis resiliency is possible!!!

Question: Why are many people under the impression that Trump and the awful things he’s doing are popular, even though they’re not?
Answer: America is still a mostly free country where dissent against Trump’s dictatorial ambitions is widespread, but media keeps making it appear as if it’s not.

Hard to convince younger generations, but for decades, Republicans went on and on about how two of the worst things imaginable were (1) state intervention in the market and (2) DC using federal troops against US states; both so bad the people should be ready for armed rebellion in case it happens.

For the US govt partially nationalizing Intel, they didn't pay shareholders for the 10% the state now owns, right?
As far as I can tell, they converted grants to equity. So it's statist intervention + an investor haircut. Though they may get it back in stock price rise due to a corrupt govt boost.
