The IRA *was* cheap energy and good jobs! That was the whole bill! Democrats did precisely what political pundits are telling them to do and the pundits just ignore it.

I'm incredibly lucky to have a secure job where I'm allowed to do "slow" science. Often I think about all the good work that isn't being done because we're so beholden to capitalist restrictions that push us to produce more, faster, with less. Another way that science is, indeed, very political.
