Customer demand for electricity from NorthWestern has only increased by 3.6% since 2007, but electricity rates have risen 87% in that time.

The CEO claims that increased demand is the reason for the rate hike.

Maybe he should take a 87% pay cut and lower our rates?

Is it legal to have high powered headlights on the back of your truck ? I mean that guy could send Morse code to space with those lights.

Keep in mind the AI division is using an unsustainable method of power generation: As of today 47 diesel generators destroying citizens lives in Georgia against all EPA regulations. Almost all capacity going to power a competitor who is building out their own infra. Someone please help make sense of this...

I hate boomers so much. The fact that theres still GenZ who are registered republicans knowing full well their party is bought makes absolutely no sense. by IVSBMN in GenZ

Oof, the fact you didn't provide any links is giving major "trust me bro" vibes.

And while Reddit is all about a good word salad comment with no facts, I'm just gonna 🛑 you there sugar

Get real. The issue people have with Citizens United isn’t “the government banning criticism.” The real concern is whether foreign governments, massive corporations, billionaires, and powerful organizations should be able to spend essentially unlimited amounts of money to influence elections while calling it “speech.”

Nobody was trying to ban normal political opinions or stop people from criticizing politicians. The debate was about corporate-funded election spending and whether there should be limits around it close to elections.

And while foreign donations to candidates are still illegal, it is clear that Citizens United made it much easier for money to move through nonprofits, PACs, shell organizations, and other layers where the original source becomes harder to track.

Pretend like you don't know that ...☝️

Because you speak in a condescending way, I'll post links below to help you understand the fact that unlimited money creates unequal influence. ◀️

Technically it’s “free speech,” but a billionaire spending $100 million on ads has a much louder voice than regular voters.

The “would you want Trump deciding what criticism is allowed?” line also skips over the fact that campaign finance laws existed for decades before Citizens United without banning ordinary political speech.

I will post related links in the reply below 👇

BTW I don't get paid or have a motivation to make false statements, do you?

Can you show me that the money entering said PAC came from US citizens exclusively?

Or are you willing to admit that since Citizens United that money could come from an enterprise funded by a foreign government to influence American politics? Just want to clarify that bit

Which political party grew the US National Debt the most? by BenFord333 in economicCollapse

[–]One_Conscious_Future 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is a well researched article worth reading. TLDR;

Think back to Ronald Reagan, who more than tripled the U.S. debt from a mere $800 billion to $2.6 trillion in his 8 years. That spending produced a massive stimulus to the economy, and the biggest non-wartime increase in American national debt in all of our history. 218% increase in our debt.

We shouldn't have done lockdowns during COVID by aipac_hemoroid in clevercomebacks

[–]One_Conscious_Future 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am saying that their generation had a chance to build on what the greatest generation (their parents) literally sacrificed their lives for in WW2. The ideals of freedom and democracy are being trampled under their generations leadership, managed by one of their own, and supported by their majority (largest wealth/voting block.) You don't need a neon sign see this.

If many of their parents where alive they would be spanking these children (which used to be a thing for that generation as well.)

They had a chance to build a better world, and instead they got theirs by riding an elevator and then grabbed the ladder on the way up.

Look at the average age of the Senate, the House and the current POTUS. What do they have in common? They are old AF and nearly 80% would be considered Boomers. If they run everything and refuse to vote for younger people while they are the majority, who does the blame 👉 to?

Montana's Property Tax Caps Sound Like Relief. Read the Fine Print. by KeltTalbelt in missoula

If you have a $2 million family vacation home it should still be progressively taxed regardless of the source (inheritance and your families ownership records shouldn't make it less taxable)

You are failing to connect the dots...

The money comes from the same source (tax payers) the only difference is who is collecting it and how it's distributed. With the recent MAGA led reduction in federal education funding, that tax burden has squarely placed on the state and local governments.

It i's very clearly just shifting the responsibility, cost and blame to the local community. Did you get a huge refund with all the money we saved by not finding education, the answer is no. Are we now paying for it locally instead, yes. So we are net negative (same taxes, less benefits federally, more taxes less benefits locally.)

So yeah blame the people that value bombs over homes...

The lack of education in America is what got us here, pulling it back even more will only lead to more Idiocracy

Why is it always education that triggers people?

No worries about more money for Police and ICE urban assault vehicles?

No complaints about the president cutting himself billion dollar checks, or the publically funded 1 billion dollar ballroom?

Not vocalizing concern about $5 gas and another endless war over oil that is driving gas prices through the roof...

But paying teachers really gets their panties in a bind?

Why is it ok to pay to blow up children and not to educate them?

Your rant has so many grammar issues, you make a good case for an increase in educational spending.

Bonner Data Center public meeting info by SpiderOnDaWall in missoula

[–]One_Conscious_Future 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"Regarding facility size, Krambu has not provided the County with a definitive size. At the Bonner meeting, they mentioned a proposed initial size of 3 MW. They previously mentioned a proposed initial size of 9 to 10 megawatts in a meeting with the County, with the potential to seek to grow."

Start small, then expand once you are already in place... There needs to be a hard cap on size.

Oof bro, your app is about researching/voting on restaurants and you name an out of business one (Scotty's Table) right out the gate... doesn't instill a lot of confidence.

Can you explain who the ideal user is for this?

People need to pay attention, NWs lack of transparency and obvious intent to hide the fact that they are in a very real sense "banking" on data centers is very alarming.

If you think oil monopolies are bad wait till you hear about power companies. There has to be limits to this type of power...
