Make America Grim Again

IKR. I was in a costume hire shop a few years ago and asked the shop lady (age late ~20s), “do you have a Zorro costume?” She asked me, “What’s a Zorro?” Faaark I’m officially old!

True story. Antonio Banderas then ran into the store, yelled “Oi!” and stormed out.

Most style guides and standards accept either spelling, especially when writing for general audiences.

For strict, formal writing, “lede” is still preferred.

Business travel elasticity has traditionally been around 0.4, meaning business travellers will tolerate higher fees with only a small drop in demand. But there would still be a drop.

What no one has mentioned here so far is that the $250 additional visa fee is refundable. But it’s not automatically refunded. You have apply for it after meeting some basic conditions. So for businesses, it’s really a much smaller administrative cost.

So far the process for applying for the refund hasn’t been established. So it’s all a bit of a hot mess still.

Las Vegas has already achieved 97% storage supply for its needs - a city that barely sleeps at night.

Again, where is your evidence that it is not going to improve across the board, and will all fail?

“It’s not all happening right now,” is not even close to a convincing answer. If that was the reason to exclude any technology, there’d be none.

And it’s an especially ironic answer given that it takes up to 20 years to commission a nuclear power plant. And they are down for scheduled maintenance for up to a month a year, etc.

Why wouldn’t solar and other renewables combined with batteries be better?

It’s very early days, yet California recently had 98 days on renewables. That started in winter.

What is it about renewables with batteries that you believe will fail, despite the mass adoption that is under way?

Why will the projected, continued decline in battery prices and advances in battery tech not occur?

Why would adjacent solutions, like the massive storage ability of vehicle-to-grid, be worse compared to nuclear?

Why are so many “in the know” getting it so wrong?

Yeah, to add to that, the majority of Americans unfortunately have poor literacy levels with reading below sixth-grade level.

And you can probably guess which party governs most states with the lowest funding levels for improving literacy.
