i just think it’s so funny that there’s folks who think ***this administration*** will build more nuclear power plants and that it would be a good thing done well enough
I probably should do something else besides laugh for a minute straight at the Trump administration firing the workers who manage the nuclear stockpile and being unable to figure out how to rehire them, but that's all i got right now

people are calling what’s going on a coup, but it’s not really — they won the election after all, and they could simply pass a law to enable trump to legally do the things he’s doing. they could call it “the enabling act”

fondly recalling when Bill Nordhaus won the econ Nobel for his DICE model that assumed economic damages from climate change would be modest and far in the future
Insured losses from natural disasters topped $140 billion in 2024, up from $106 billion in 2023, reports Munich Re, the world's largest insurer.
“Climate change is taking the gloves off. Hardly any other year has made the consequences of global warming so clear.”

It’s incredible. I don’t think there has ever been a political movement that has hated the public good as much as this one.
Every single choice is game-theoretically optimized to be as destructive to the common good and wellbeing of America as possible.
