Kyle Roerink of Great Basin Water Network smashes the nail on the head with his piece in yesterday's Nevada Current. The proposed public land sale will only exacerbate the many struggles Southern Nevada faces. Not least of which is climate change.

I will admit I haven't read the book yet. "Abundance" has struck me as a repackage of "Supply Side Economics" from the 80s. I have seen Klein on umpteen interview shows, including Stewart's. Abundance reminds me of the 90s when Democrats declared defeat and moved to the right.

“The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake,” an apparatchik says in 1984. “We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power. Not wealth or luxury or long life or happiness: only power, pure power.” How is power demonstrated? By making others suffer.

Don't eat your own dog food. An old Silicon Valley saying. Don't start believing your own BS. Trump clearly never learned this.

It's just something I read. China graduates more mechanical engineers in a year than the US has bachelor degrees total. We have not been in a Sputnik moment but a 7th December moment all these years.

This is so wrong. Our country is no longer a constitutional democracy. If you agree that it's wrong to rip a man from his family and send him to a gulag, you are on the losing side of a civil war. Trump administration says it mistakenly deported Salvadoran migrant

We need to call out the blatant lie being pushed by the Trump administration—that Elon’s staffers have only “read-only” access. It has been confirmed across departments that they have “administrative” access to computer systems.

Grom the NV Current, Both of Nevada's senators voted to confirm him though so how bad can Interior Secretary Doug Burgum be? Just kidding, he'll be horrible or he'll be fired, those are his options. Meanwhile, first they came for the national monuments and... at least some folks said something.
