Editorial: Solar installations are plummeting and California regulators are to blame

State regulators gutted the incentive programs for rooftop solar earlier this year. And now, as feared, the solar industry is contracting. This is the opposite of what we need to fight climate change.

Are you using Dropbox cloud storage? You do not want 3rd party AI technology partners to have access to your Dropbox files? Flip this switch, which is on by default. Go to web->account-> settings- 3rd party AI. Please turn it off. Please boost so everyone know how bad this move is … 😡

The research says profits for some companies rose by a whopping 30% between 2019 and 2022, completely outpacing inflation.

TLDR: Corporations have been raising prices because they're greedy, and they saw an opportunity to squeeze more out of people who were already struggling.

The biggest study of ‘greedflation’ yet looked at 1,300 corporations to find many of them were lying to you about inflation

Companies like Exxon Mobil, Shell, and Kraft Heinz enjoyed bumper profits as consumers struggled with historic inflation.

Nauseating to watch conservatives lurch drunkenly from moral panic to moral panic, wrecking everything, understanding nothing. Vaccines? Drag queens? University presidents? It's all so dizzyingly tiresome.

They have the attention spans of gerbils on cocaine, with the intellects of beached jellyfish. So much hatred and noise, blind rage at imaginary people who are ruining their lives, confused that people seem to dislike them no matter how hard they work to be cruel.
