There've been plenty of opinions proffered on the BAAJA bill over the past few weeks (mine here: https://www.transitiontimes.net/tt-17-my-verdict-on-baaja/) but those don't move markets.
What moves markets is the companies themselves, and the energy transition …

TT#17 – My Verdict on BAAJA
The bipartisan permitting reform bill would remove key hurdles to the energy transition—especially hurdles to siting transmission—and unlock vast amounts of wind and solar power. On the whole, it would be a net benefit to the climate and the energy transition.

The Catholic Church often commissioned artworks depicting saints, angels and sacred stories. In the sixteenth century, there was a movement to start showing religious images in more relatable fashion, with the hope that people would identify themselves more with these figures. Damiano said the church hoped this effect would “elicit more piety, more devotion, by seeing this happen by example.”

This article is very interesting generally, but I have discovered there is such a job as a CHEESE SCIENTIST! Hard to choose between that, a butter sommelier or plotting where WWII bombs fell. There are some fascinating jobs out there.

Gut, die Argumentation passt nicht ganz, aber einen Gedanken hatte ich neulich noch als ich bei @… das Interview mit Sven Schulze gehört habe.
Er schwimmt da so ein wenig, weil ja Axiom 1 in der Politik ist, dass man niemals die Wähler beschuldigen oder beschimpfen darf.
Man muss die immer "zurückgewinnen", "überzeugen", etc.
Er kann nicht sagen, dass das Vollidioten sind die total realitätsfern argumentieren, wählen, sich selbst schaden, etc.
Das sagt keiner so richtig, oder? 1/2

I’ve heard reports exactly like this in • every • single • election • since 2004. And every time, when somebody finally manages to get to the bottom of it, it turns out the culprit is garbage UI design — not the machine secretly changing votes (because why would it •show• the user if it’s actually cheating?!).
But these breathless stories about touchscreen voting aren’t going die unless touchscreen voting itself dies — because it’s a terrible idea.
Paper ballots, marked directly by the voter themselves, validated and counted in an optical scanner. It’s not rocket science, folks.
