Now I'm here
No, not normal

The comparison seems like an apples-to-oranges comparison. Both countries are chasing after AI. The US is currently betting on oil and coal while China is betting on renewables. Ok, same conclusion!

I feel like cars stopped catching on fire in the 1970's and then something happened this year and now I'm afraid of my toaster

I was the only survivor of a plane crash and I turned out fine. I don't get it, what's the big deal?

American Bitcoin Department?
A Bigger Deal?
Association of Bionic Dingoes ?

Or it's a typo.

This is also why nobody makes black cars. Can't touch them.

Or, just hear me out... Night

I'm not familiar with the project but would have no issue myself living next to a solar farm. I just like them? There are always NIMBYs on any topic. I'm a YIMBY on solar!

It may help if you explain what's so terrible about Ivy, I am not aware of any issues. Is the solar power 'bad' in some fundamental way?

My lifeboat and oar metaphor seems to have completely missed so how about this one: when sliding down a steep rock slope, perhaps it's not wise to be picky about how dirty the handholds are? I'm not sure how else to get this point across.

I agree you are not saying that. You're expressing a preference for doing solar farms better, I understand. My point is that in the context of 2025 this feels like a mistake -- this is not the time to push for perfection, we need to protect what's been accomplished and keep moving forward.

Critiquing solar farms in 2025 gives me "you can't use that lifeboat, an oar is cracked' vibes.

I'd say 'human resources' is worse. It only feels better because we're not thinking about the meaning. It could always be worse, how about Head of 'human value extraction'?

This is appropriating Pittsburgh's divine right to add fries to everything. Other cities are not allowed to do this!

That's only the shorter supply chains. The longer term ones -- think Q4 gifts -- are even more sensitive to disruption.

This is something I'd expect from a 3rd grader who needs some alone time

Y2K didn't get a lot of attention until the late 90's so we're on track?

This is frustrating. Is there a point of failure here -- a part of the government that's supposed to be raising their hand and saying 'Hold on a sec!", or do we rely on random attorneys to file cases against the government? (I may have missed a few civics classes in school.)

The owner is a convicted felon (tax evasion) so honestly that seems like a reasonable choice.

The nature of the (terrible) cost cutting strategy that has been adopted by DOGE does not involve--and in fact, can not afford to involve -- these kinds of questions. It's not intentional, it's part of a well understood playbook. tldr: it's a chainsaw
