You'll get the savings after 30yrs but the average solar panel only lasts 15, and degrades every single year from the day of installation. If you do the math, you will never get a net $$$ benefit.

B-Man Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Gavin Newsom, California governor and former mayor of San Francisco is claiming that President Trump is ruining a good economy he inherited from Obama (and for bonus points using a Vox article to do so): Wait, didn’t Obama try and get Americans used to “the new normal” on the economy? You know, the same Obama that stated we should get used to a 1.5% GDP growth? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 “CALIFORNIA WANTS TO TEACH YOUR KIDS THAT CAPITALISM IS RACIST”: Bill Evers has an essay in the WSJ about the California Department of Education’s new “Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum.” Yes, it’s bad, but I’m sure you figured that: Begin with economics. Capitalism is described as a “form of power and oppression,” alongside “patriarchy,” “racism,” “white supremacy” and “ableism.” Capitalism and capitalists appear as villains several times in the document. On politics, the model curriculum is similarly left-wing. One proposed course promises to explore the African-American experience “from the precolonial ancestral roots in Africa to the trans-Atlantic slave trade and enslaved people’s uprisings in the antebellum South, to the elements of Hip Hop and African cultural retentions.” Teachers are encouraged to cite the biographies of “potentially significant figures” such as Angela Davis, Frantz Fanon and Bobby Seale. Convicted cop-killers Mumia Abu-Jamal and Assata Shakur are also on the list. Students are taught that the life of George Jackson matters “now more than ever.” Jackson, while in prison, became “a revolutionary warrior for Black liberation and prison reform.” The Latino section’s people of significance include Puerto Rican nationalists Oscar López Rivera, a member of a paramilitary group that carried out more than 130 bomb attacks, and Lolita Lebrón, who was convicted of attempted murder in a group assault that wounded five congressmen. Housing policy gets the treatment. The curriculum describes subprime loans as an attack on home buyers with low incomes rather than a misguided attempt by the government to help such home buyers. Politicians—Republicans and Democrats—imposed lower underwriting standards on the home-loan industry. Republicans billed it as a way to expand the middle class, while Democrats crowed that it would aid the poor. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdnlng Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 PETA stands up for rats. https://www.peta.org/issues/wildlife/living-harmony-wildlife/rats/ Solving Conflicts Compassionately Rat-proofing a building is the only sure way to deter rats. Killing them will only cause other rats to move into the newly available spaces. After rat-proofing your building, give the remaining animals a chance at life by live-trapping and releasing them outdoors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
