Genuinely couldn't believe this figure until I saw the Financial Times confirm it using Meta's own financial reporting data For THIS $100 billion is genuinely the kind of money you could "do the impossible" with. Crack nuclear fusion. HIV vaccine. Universal flu vaccine And they spent it on this

Sure, this looks like a token small concession after months of legislative and regulatory hostage-taking, but have you considered that Eversource executives are just trying to save themselves $4?

This has been a valuable lesson in why we need a strong government to protect our nation's biggest chumps and suckers.

Authoritarianism suffocates not only political life but also economic life. Instead of the best products rising to the top, people get coerced into using Dogshit because the ceo of dogshit enterprises owns the government

It is so absurdly obvious that it's smart politics for any Democrat under 70 to throw the eldest generation of lawmakers under the bus. But that would be rude so we'll just chill here with 19% of unaffiliateds.

I worked with the team that came up with the original idea for the "fiscal guardrails" which had a less severe mechanism for capturing volatile $ and anticipated a much slower rebuild of our reserves. So I can say with certainty that more funds should be freed to get UConn a point guard next year.

Pretty telling that the comparison here is “someone scolding you via a video you saw on Facebook that you found annoying” and “complete disregard for legal protections and long standing peaceful cooperation between nations”. It’s actually pretty accurate to how conservatives view the world

It's hard to overstate how useless and weak PURA was before Gillett got there. The utilities had full control over it. Everyone knew it. Rules weren't enforced and consumer protections were killed from the inside. Voting against Gillett is voting to bring that back. ctmirror.org/2025/02/13/m...

A professional legislator saying they care about working people before their 20th re-election campaign isn't credible and isn't going to work. The best way for Democrats to show they support working people is to elect them.

Leaders themselves probably too, but at the very least, the people who constantly advise them “heads down, powder dry, wait for the survey results” have to go. www.offmessage.net/p/out-with-t...

He’s right, but fundamentally the party isn’t going to be seen as credible without a parallel strategy of moving on from his colleagues that have overstayed their usefulness by decades and have held the country back from the progress that could’ve prevented all this. Primaries are good.

There are so many ways to make a bunch of money in America. If you choose to do it by providing the electricity that we need for ALL OF SOCIETY TO FUNCTION, part of the fucking deal is you have to have a modicum of accountability. Sorry, you greedy crybabies. ctmirror.org/2025/01/31/l...
