General Discussion / Re: Unexpected Freedom
« Last post by Cyber Liberty on Today at 11:33:19 pm »I decided to be this way the day I retired. Never regretted it. It really is liberating! Not giving a crap what others think came very easy, because I didn't care about such things my entire life.

Politics/Government / MAGA-Phobia: Politico Q&A with Totalitarianism Expert Focuses on Trump
« Last post by pjcomix on Today at 11:28:06 pm »Quote
"News" outlets are engaged in feverish speculation about just how dystopian Donald Trump's second term might be. Their fervent imaginations overrule the reality of Trump's first term, which never devolved into dictatorship.
On Sunday, Politico's Joanna Weiss conducted a Q&A with liberal Samantha Rose Hill, a scholar of totalitarianism and the author Hannah Arendt. The headline was "‘A Truer Reality Beyond Reality’: Hannah Arendt’s Warning About How Totalitarianism Takes Root."
Although Stalinism and Nazism are touched upon (barely), the main focus was Orange Man Bad.

The Senate approved a resolution that would roll back the Department of Energy’s energy efficiency standards for gas furnaces, setting the measure up for an expected veto from President Joe Biden.
The disapproval resolution, introduced by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), would overturn a finalized rule from the DOE that would mandate energy efficiency standards for residential gas furnaces, with the aim of saving consumers money and cutting greenhouse gas emissions.
Cruz and other Republicans said the policy would effectively ban all non-condensing furnace models, forcing consumers to either adopt electric heat pumps or pay a high price to meet the requirements of the new residential furnaces.
“This rule is a continuation of the Biden administration’s capitulation to environmental radicals who value following climate dogma more than helping families actually provide for their kids and save for the future,” Cruz said during floor remarks.
The measure passed 50 to 45 with support of all present Republicans. Several Democrats crossed the aisle, including Sens. Joe Manchin (D-WV), Sherrod Brown (D-OH), and Bob Casey (D-PA), as well as Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ).
Earlier on Tuesday, the White House issued a statement of administrative policy stating Biden would veto the measure, defending the rule as “technologically feasible, and economically justified.”
