True, of course. But housing FOR ALL has to include housing that's affordable TO ALL. Market rate has been manipulated so that not all can afford housing. New housing has to be created so that ALL have a shot at it to solve our biggest problems, right?

Totally agreed ... IF you plant a tree, and let it grow, then pellitize and transport it in a green way, then burning it won't release more hydrocarbons than it accumlated.

Take the thorn out of the lion's paw, and don't charge him $10,000.

Fire that consumes hydrocarbon fuels and oxygen liberates CO2. So yeah. Gasoline, diesel, natural gas, wood chips, all hydrocarbon fuels. NO SUCH THING as 'green' wood burning.

To see how well this works, we need to see how much each 'new' unit would cost to convert. Sometimes the cost per unit is insane ... numbers like $30 million for 100 units mean $300,000 per unit. How long is the payback for $1000 per month? 300 months = 25 years. Before deducting for maintenance and supervision.

I think NYT is correct in this sense: I haven't heard Harris herself say much about 'climate change' let alone 'global warming'.

We all get that. Candidates tend to stay away from talking about stuff that makes people feel bad because it sticks to them. But I've not heard her even address expanding renewables as rapidly as possible, or even heat pumps. No doubt that's the advice she's getting. One reason is that the cars we're driving are a major source of CO2. Nobody's touching that elephant.

This is the ongoing story of Microsoft since it started.

I questioned the methodology as soon as I learned that Seattle was even in the running.

Fine people here. But, smartest? mmmffff

How many times did people vote YES on a monorail? How many times did their votes get ignored?

The city doesn't care what people think. As with everything, the public argues about the options for 10 years. Then, after noone cares any more, it does whatever (someone we never see) wanted anyway.

I was in the tunnel, not the steam pipes running through the tunnel.

I have a browser extension for that. When I open a page and a 'subscribe' popup hides the text, I click on that button, and it shows me the URL it's going to block, and I click OK. The next time I get tricked into going to that page, it tells me it's blocked.

Pretty sure there are no 'monopolies are legal' clause in the Constitution. Whereas Congress has created several anti-monopoly Acts.

Why heck, darn it, they've even offered to sell a dozen or two of their lower-performing stores if that would clinch the deal.
