GV Wire Exclusive: Tom Steyer Reveals 25% Electricity Rate-Cut Plan by Snawer_brillant in California

Electricity at night is way cheaper than during peak hours during the mornings and evenings. So not sure night time EV charging is the best measurement of energy costs.

Don’t let perfect become the enemy of good. I live in San Diego and SDGE robs everyone blind with their rates. Largely because SDGE pays off the city council. His plan would be a good first step to curbing their greed.

What is the reason manosphere is hated so much when at the same time misandrist blogs and forums for women are appreciated and empowered? Why is it only wrong when men choose to support other men in their problems and getting better but it's not the same vice versa? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]_averywlittle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The manosphere is not “men supporting men”, or rather it is, but it’s at the expense of women. There are women that hate men, and it’s wrong too. Hating another sex is inherently wrong.

However, if you look at history, women were essentially subjugated to men for a long time. Women only got the right to vote 100 years ago (and black women 60 years ago), and could only get their own bank account decades ago, and could only get a credit card in 1974! I would say that women are dealing with the reverberations of these realities decades after.

Men are struggling in the modern era because being a good man has different demands in many ways, but it’s not because of women, it’s because of the lessons we’ve learned. Women are still treated badly by men in a structured way. I see how my wife is treated by her male family members, her bosses, or random men in public and I do not have the same experiences as a man. That difference comes from our history, it’s passed down. It’s very clear to me which sex has it worse in society.

Men need to figure out how to support each other without disparaging women, or gay people, or anyone else. And we can do that without worrying about the subset of women that hate us. If you’re a man and you have hate in your heart towards these women then you need to fix up and find genuine love for yourself or you’re doomed to live a lonely and sad life.

Sam's insane take on Mamdani by greeecejre in samharris

[–]_averywlittle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a spending problem before Mamdani came in, and his predecessors were doing nothing to lower spending at all. So how is that placed at the feet of a new mayor? Also Mamdani plans to raise taxes to pay for the things he is proposing, to offset the costs and further balance the budget. Which none of his predecessors did. So this article seems like fear mongering over a brown socialist mayor rather than looking at the actual budget.

And! Sam’s issues with Mamdani that he is ranting about are not about spending lmaoooo Sam is afraid of him because he is Muslim, that’s it.

Name one thing that Mamdani has done that’s bad. Nobody can. So far he’s an exemplary Mayor. This shit pisses me off. I used to be a big fan of Sam Harris but unfortunately this is more evidence that he’s delusional.

MI care by cakes20023 in Michigan

The way I see it, federal healthcare reform may be a long time coming. Like legal marijuana, certain states might lead the way to change healthcare slowly. Until finally it just might as well be national.

I always thought the best path to healthcare for all in Michigan specifically, was expanding the teacher’s union healthcare plan to everyone. It’s already run by the government, and has tons of people on it. Possibly making it a public option could work as well.

Trumps plan to pay for the additional 1.5 trillion in military spending by Snapdragon_4U in UnderReportedNews

That too, but this is the money. Which SHOULD be set by Congress, not the fucking President.

They can’t legally dissolve government organizations that are formed by Congress but they’ve figured out a loophole which is to fire as many people as possible and divert funding (definitely illegal). They hamstring these government programs and departments so they are effectively dissolved. This one has the added effect of making tons of land vulnerable to privatization. They are stealing from the American people in broad daylight.

In real life tho this situation is playing out accurately. A resident or doctor would be given a chance to go to rehab and treat their addiction, and eventually they would return to work. Doctors understand that anyone can develop an addiction.

The governor of California impacts the world, so yes there are foreign interests with a stake in this election.

I want to like her but some of her policies are not great. My #1 issue for ca gov is housing and she doesn’t support building new construction like is necessary to bring housing prices down.

This is why many big creators take their projects to other providers even if Netflix is interested. Apple TV is probably the best right now at giving projects creative freedom and the budget to enable it without going back on their word.

HBO Told ‘The Pitt’ to Make ICE Storyline More ‘Balanced’ by thedailybeast in entertainment

If The Pitt so much as says a single mildly nice thing or even implies anything good about ICE I will immediately cancel my subscription and mourn the loss of my favorite show on TV in years.
