Australia has so much solar that it's offering everyone free electricity
Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.
Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.
The people who need help are not the problem.
It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

"In some places, French postal workers now pick up prescriptions, return library books, and deliver flowers. Last year, only twenty eight per cent of La Poste’s revenue came from sending mail."
Services can evolve in positive ways to meet new and growing needs.

For those who wonder what a modern postal service could look like, one example is in France, where letter carriers provide check-ins on the elderly for very affordable rates, while completing their routes.

The confidence with which the claim was made should alarm everyone.
The fact that Makary and Oz, two licensed healthcare providers, and Bhattacharya, an MD, stood by and participated in this fraud should make it clear to everyone that US science and healthcare has been hijacked by charlatans.

Well, for one thing, if Samson and Delilah had been on TikTok, their saga would’ve had the beauty influencers SHOOK. She was fed up with that man and his gorgeous locks. Sure, she was getting paid by Philistines, but deep down, I think she sick of his long-ass hair routine videos.

Jimmy Kimmel is a symptom of a huge problem: a concentrated media ecosystem beholden to corporate whims.

Consider Global News' management making Ben Mulroney a top political host.

This is false. For example, the libertarian @cato.org breaks down the numbers, showing about 6 deaths from right-wing politically motivated attackers for every 1 from left-wing attackers.
Moreover, the claim that shooters represent anyone other than an unhinged fraction of society is the deeper lie.

I have a beautiful, stately oak tree between my house and the garage, and every year I can tell the weather is cooling down by acorns dropping onto the roof of my house.
Every other year or so, there seem to be more acorns, and on those years the squirrels run all over the roof, gathering them up.
