Posts: 657Democrats Declare It Is Safe To Reopen Now That Government Has Tested Neg For Trump
USA —Democrat leaders around the country are declaring it is now safe to reopen since the federal government's tests have come back negative for Trump.
"The key indicator we were looking for before we could begin the reopening process was that Trump wasn't president," said Governor Gavin Newsom. "While we are at the worst point yet in this pandemic, it now makes sense to open-- even though the science said the exact opposite last year when it was comparably mild. Because now, all the tests are indicating we have tested negative for Trump."
Governor Cuomo agreed, saying that all his key science experts -- the ones who haven't quit yet in disgust -- are advising him to go ahead and reopen since the tests are coming back negative for Trump. "When the tests were positive some weeks ago, we were pretty concerned," Cuomo told a reporter down by the docks as he threw a dead senior into the harbor. "Now, the tests are all looking really good for Democrats, so we're going to go ahead and get started."
Governor Whitmer last year cast a spell on Michigan so it would be always winter and never Christmas, but she says she is canceling the spell now and encouraging Michiganders to celebrate "the true Christmas: Biden getting elected."

Then again pretty much everything you write shows how much you delude yourself.

To make myself look useful and hide the fact I sneakily pay a guy in the Philippines $2 an hour to write these articles, I've accounted for inflation by converting the average wholesale spot prices for each financial year into today's money. This is so people can see the real trends in electricity prices and not have inflation mislead them into thinking things are worse than they are.
The USA Energy Information Administration (EIA) says this.
2019 US wholesale solar prices more than double wind, gas as renewables use reaches record levels: EIA.
Dive Brief:
According to the USA Energy Information Administration (EIA), last year the average USA Wholesale price for solar electricity was $83/ MWh more than double the price paid to producers of electricity generated by wind, fossil fuels, or nuclear.
The United States' use of renewable energy grew for the fourth consecutive year, to account for 11% of total energy consumption in 2019, according to the agency.
California's high prices largely skewed the national average roughly a third of USA Solar capacity is located in California, where the average wholesale price of electricity is more than double the the national average of $36/ MWh.
I think the EIS is more reliable than a guy in the Philippines that was paid $2.
This site is a little more accurate. utilitydive.com/ news /2019-us-wholesale-solar-prices-more-than-double-wind-gas-nuclear-eia /587364/.
I guess you are the only one in USA that is getting this cheap power while the rest of us just keep getting power bill increases.

Posts: 657Side effect of losing gold backed dollars. Lose manufacturing base
Gold or silver backed currency has the effect of encouraging countries to manufacture and export to gain gold or silver to maintain the value of their currency. On gold and silver backed dollars, the USA became a major manufacturer. Once Nixon went off the gold backed dollar, the USA no longer needed to export to gain gold and silver from other countries. Thus the USA did not protest when China bought up large numbers of US factories and shipped them to China. We went from manufacturing hard goods to manufacturing green pieces of paper with dead politicians printed on the front. As one analyst put it, the USA has the export profile of an agrarian colony of China. We ship them soybeans, corn and meat and cardboard / wood and they ship us manufactured goods. Sort of like the American colonies and Great Britain before the revolutionary war. This works great until you go to war and realize you are no longer "the arsenal of democracy" and other countries can cut off your war supplies. . .

Here are some examples: https://www.solarquotes.com.au/blog/...ce=getresponse.
South Australia gets 60% of its power from renewables. It now has the lowest wholesale prices in Australia. Around 2.8 USc kWhr. Its dropped from being the most expensive in Australia when the supply was predominately gas fired to the lowest.
https://www.pv-magazine.com/2019/10/...of-0-0169-kwh/
UAE solar park tendering power at 1.7 USc per kWhr.
There are many examples but you don't want to acknowledge the truth you just want to be a rah rah boy for the idiot party of science deniers.

And yes I do believe that the balance of power between labor and capital must be maintained and the only way to maintain it is through proper regulation and legislation.

Look it up on the internet. From "the creature from Jekyll Island 🌴: "The method by which the Federal Reserve creates momey out of nothing: the concept of usury as the payment of interest on pretend loans; the true cost of the hidden tax called inflation; the way in which the Fed. (Creature) creates boom-bust 💥 🕳 cycles" A tv program hosted by Glenn Beck discussing this may have led to the cancellation of said TV program.
