Perhaps sneering at people who voted for Trump and are "finding out" isn't the best approach. Always a chance to get new allies to push for change. Be kind but firm in how they can harness that anger for positive change. Remember that.

There was a Nigerian Prince who became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was losing his money, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught Binance everything he knew, then they scammed him in his sleep. Ironic.

This is very concerning. The double whammy of the IRA being removed along with tariffs could kill US solar and battery deployments. Not only would this mean the US slows its transition but it would be unable to build a renewable industry to compete with China www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
