This particular person is not concerned with political power or policy efficacy, only appearing cool on social media.

This is wonderful!
Also absolutely floored by your 8 y/o self's handwriting. Feeling a little self conscious of my own, it would make even the worst doctor blush

I am a real person, as evidenced by my passion for soccer and defending a not-so-secret conservative Atlantic writer

I spent a lot of time in front of he and his staff before I moved over to building materials. This isn't a political calculation for him, this is truly who he is. He can be a brash asshole (laudatory), but he has a kind heart.

5) Charlie Kirk thinking face: why would HOME DEPOT have precast blocks on pallets outside of their loading dock?

Get yourself a little synergy, a couple double clicks, and a circle back - baby, you've got yourself an HR sanctioned stew going (please shoot Deborah a note that lunch is ready)

Costa run for office already. Workshopping your campaign slogan, but here's a draft:

There is zero daylight between "DC is all nepo trustfund babies" and "DC needs a recession because cranes" and "DC is a crime-ridden shithole"

In his reconciliation bill, he guts the LPO, guts nuclear incentives -> demands uprates of like 42 reactors (back of the envelope math) and 10 new reactors. This is like a ~trillion dollar EO

The problem has never been the message, but those responsible for sharing the message. Few journalists, outside of dedicated climate pubs, care that the IRA would've saved American lives, reduced energy costs, and prevented thousands of kids from developing asthma

Why does the audience matter more than, back to the original point, the media responsible for communicating such a historically massive policy success? Why is it more important to message to a smaller blue collar audience vs service correlaries when there are only a handful of journalists present?

Can you cite any of these analyses? 'I can get your industry jobs back' was never a message I saw when it was legislation or after it was enacted

The IRA's ultimate goal is to spur widespread, scalable and tech agnostic climate solutions. The dudes making clean cement right now are doing so because of the hundreds of thousands of hours of lab work and process engineering. Measuring success as a job ratio and not overall emission reduction?

Is this an actual concern? For every 10 operators at my startup (which was willed into scale by the IRA), there are twenty scientists and engineers. Just because the latter aren't actively producing commercial decarb cement, does not mean that their roles aren't essential to industrial decarb
