I really think sustained contact with donors is a big driver of shitty party leadership, it's cooking their brains just as much as being on twitter would.

Wife: I'll buy a subscription to any publication that writes one honest story about the "masculinity crisis" that just says "Men want to be able to treat women like shit and still get laid" and just be done with it. There's no more depth to the discussion. There is no nuance.

Apparently, inflation is bad, but we must impose tariffs to raise the cost of cheap imports so people buy expensive American goods. We can re-shore manufacturing, but to be cost competitive, we have to fully automate factories, replacing American workers with robots.

In 8 consecutive tests Tesla Full Self-Driving 13.2.9 ran down child mannequins while illegally blowing past a stopped school bus during our live FSD demo with #TeslaTakedown and #ResistAustin in Austin.
We’ve warned Tesla for 2.5 years. They’ve done nothing. Why isn’t somebody in jail?

Another one for the “economic concerns as a mask for cultural concerns” file. This delusion that manufacturing jobs will come roaring back if we cast the right policy spell isn’t really about that being a desirable economic goal, but about romanticizing Manly Work.
The worst part of this is that even if manufacturing jobs came back because of this (they won’t)
and even if Americans retooled for those jobs (they won’t) those jobs sucked! It’s like demanding to return to being a farming society. People fled that life the instant they could, in the millions!

Important note about this breakthrough:
Literally would not exist without the kind of Federal support the current administration is slashing.
Took 15+ years of research at a federal lab (Lawrence Berkeley) to get this to a point at which private enterprise could take over and make these at scale.

Thanks to Steve Jobs and Gorilla Glass, factories in America are now ramping up to make affordable windows, made from panes thinner than a credit card, that can:
* save Americans $25 billion / year
* withstand a 2x4 shot out of a cannon

A Piece of Glass Thinner Than a Credit Card Could Solve America’s $25 Billion Energy Problem
New windows can insulate better than most walls, and some can even survive being hit with a two-by-four shot from a cannon.
