Yes, this article explains it slightly better…

It’s not a fab. It’s a research location.

“The phrase “separation of church and state” does not appear in the Constitution. However, the Establishment Clause in the First Amendment prohibits the government from establishing a religion or interfering with the free exercise of religion.”

Jefferson letter:" I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should “make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,” thus building a wall of separation between Church & State."

So they’re very closely related but don’t go around saying it’s in the Constitution because it isn’t.

Eh, but how do we rank if you are flush with disposable income?

Hi American here. One of these men is the richest man in the world. To assume his behaviors aren’t globally reaching is wrong. The other, if elected, would control the most powerful military in the world. Of course well suffer here but the influence and reach of these two should not be understated.

"Also remember, CPI only reflects those out-of-pocket expenses. "

“it doesn’t take into account goods and services that may have been provided to consumers by, for example, the nonprofit sector and the government.”

My point here is your raises should be CPI + buffer as real costs are higher.

Wow. 70% as of 2022.

We don’t need tax credits.

We need Private equity out of the housing market.

We need better safeguards for tenants.

Financial moves like tax credits and incentives always end up benefitting the haves.

I manage a service engineering team for semiconductor equipment.

I did this right out of college. I’m not sure if it was the LNAPL measurements or the asbestos abatements but I really needed to get out of that industry.

In Mercia?!

I would walk from my suburban home to the R5 in Philly. Take septa to 30th street. Septa out to Trenton. NJ Transit from Septa to Penn Station. Walk through the tunnels get the train over to Hoboken. The whole trip was like $20 one way. It was awesome even if it took longer than Amtrak. Could get to my sister’s place with no car. It was pretty great!

Septas Network alone is awesome…

The US is providing funding for companies like TSMC and Intel to buld fabs in the US. The reality is that TSMC is having a very hard time hiring and deal with cultural gaps between Asian working mindset vs. American working mindset. There’s going to be some serious pain getting these fabs up and running.

I asked what I can do to protect my family from climate change.

To protect your family from the potential impacts of climate change, you can take several actions:Educate yourself and your family: Learn about the causes and effects of climate change, as well as the steps you can take to mitigate its impacts. Share this knowledge with your family members and encourage them to be more mindful of their environmental footprint.Reduce your carbon footprint: Make an effort to reduce your family’s greenhouse gas emissions by adopting energy-efficient practices, such as using LED light bulbs, turning off electronics when not in use, and driving less.Conserve resources: Encourage your family to conserve water, recycle, and reduce waste. These actions can help to reduce your family’s overall environmental impact.Support renewable energy: Consider installing solar panels or using other renewable energy sources in your home. Additionally, support policies and initiatives that promote the development and use of renewable energy.Get involved in your community: Join or support local organizations and initiatives that focus on climate change mitigation and adaptation. This can help to create a broader movement for change and can also provide opportunities for your family to learn and take action together.Stay informed: Keep up to date with the latest news and research on climate change and its impacts. This can help you and your family to make informed decisions and stay engaged in the issue.Remember, small actions can make a big difference, and by working together as a family, you can help to protect yourselves and future generations from the effects of climate change.

It gave a reasonable answer and didn’t discount it as a scam.

Not arguing any of that. The point here is that I find Musk repulsive enough that the Tesla, for all of its superior software, was never even in my decision making process.

Same.

We just bought the ev Blazer this weekend. Fuck Tesla.
