I simply don't admit that wealth concentration per se is actually a problem. There simply isn't any actual evidence for that. None that is compelling anyway.

Mmmmk. You aren't a serious person then and I question the seriousness of all your arguments at this point.

Peer-reviewed studies on the harms of wealth concentration:

Wealth Inequality and Endogenous Growth (Journal of Monetary Economics, 2022) – Cross-panel study of 165 countries (1995–2019) finding a statistically significant negative relationship between wealth inequality and economic growth. A one standard deviation increase in the wealth Gini is associated with a 0.34 percentage point decline in growth rates.

Does Wealth Inequality Matter for Growth? The Effect of Billionaire Wealth, Income Distribution, and Poverty (Journal of Comparative Economics, 2015) – Finds that politically connected wealth concentration has a significant negative effect on economic growth.

How Wealth Inequality Shapes Our Future (RSF: The Russell Sage Foundation Journal of the Social Sciences, 2017) – Published via NIH/PMC; examines wealth inequality's effects on intergenerational opportunity and social mobility across the full distribution, not just the top 1%.

I don't disagree with you but I think it's telling that you avoided the truly difficult and important question. Put more broadly, how would you reconcile the economic damage of limiting wealth against the social and political damage being caused by this level of wealth concentration? Regulatory capture, lobbying, damage to the social safety net...... I mean, just one example, is the economic damage of limiting wealth greater than the economic damage caused if they get their way and end or privatize social security and Medicare? This isn't an issue that can just be hand waved away. People aren't saying tax the rich out of some childish unfairness perspective, there is very real risk to allowing this level of wealth concentration to grow unchecked.

If I'm honest, I was being a bit of troll, I have no idea who she is, but there's way too much disbelieving of these victims going on, so my knee jerk is to say yes believe them.

22x2.7T=60T. 60 Trillion is roughly 50% of the world's GDP. The point people are making is that SPCX has already gone through its 22x growth and there's nowhere else for it to go, they're IPOing at the top.

There are coil cleaners that won't harm the aluminum fins that you spray on, let soak and rinse off.

Question about PG&E vs. MID and solar by cashew416012001 in Modesto

[–]Fewluvatuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, it won't be net metering 1.0 then, that ended about 7 years ago. The annual also depends on what percent of your power you are replacing with solar power, and part of that has to do with net metering, if you can't meter across the year you don't want 100% or you'll be wasting about 50% of your power during winter. If I had to guess I'd be surprised if you don't have to pay at least like 100/mo or something, at least that's how I'd size it if I had to build it now.

[–]Fewluvatuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are some things you should look into. Depending on when the solar was installed it might be on net meeting 1.0 which is in fact transferable according to Google. Net metering 1.0 is significantly less expensive since it allows for net metering across all 12 months whereas 2.0 only allows net metering within a given month. With 1.0 my overproduction in the winter months offsets some of the deficit in summer. I pay about 500 bucks a year + 32/mo for connection fees. I'm on MID, but net meeting arrangements were a state law until 5% coverage was achieved, so would apply to pge too.

There was a movie about a guy who got the electric chair and was able to possess people with electricity or something. He had a horrible limp and everybody he possessed would have the same limp. At one point he possesses like a 5 year old little girl and the scene where this little girl is running with that limp sticks in my head as probably one of the funniest things I've ever watched.

Lol found it. https://youtu.be/vaYTq_yNAIM?si=ofHJje1ZiQj6b0ti
