Do you genuinely think the folks who "gambled" really understood the implications? How many random mailers have you gotten asking to switch to a random third party provider because "it's better for the env" or will "save money"?

I mean I'll grant you California is a shitshow but it's been a shitshow since republicans got on their knees for Enron in the 90s and literally hasn't recovered. How about Florida, which has been a red state for 80% of the last 30 years, low regulation, but instead of building new power they are keeping nukes going well past their service life? Abundant sun. Abundant wave power. They have the fucking entire European heating system right off the coast.

Your measure of corruption is what now? How many new things are built regardless of their need or what impacts they may have?

Very...unique standpoint.

I don't personally believe in what she believes in, but it's perfectly reasonable for someone who grew up during this country's Reagan era to truly and genuinely believe that serving in the military is a valuable and fulfilling purpose that's greater and more important than the needs of a single family.

Maybe it's clown makeup, but wouldn't it be nice to feel some sense of purpose in your life rather than spending it shit talking people on the internet?

I use endeavour because it's got the best security features I could find in the ecosystem.

Aka I use arch

I think you should reread what I said, I don't think your response makes sense vs my statement.

Sounds like that fight was lost 100 years ago.

Eh, NY has the Yankees sports team but they are not part of New England and I'd say a good portion of the country would say NY has no Yankees in it besides the team.

Given that you're the native, you should gently explain to the colonial that they are the ones who are wrong.
