Why Rooftop Solar Is So Much Cheaper in Australia Than America If America wants to decarbonize its electricity sector, it should pay attention to Australia's rooftop solar market.

I'm guessing Australia.

"In Australia rooftop solar costs less than $1 per watt to install. In America, installation costs range from $2.20 to $3.50 per watt depending on which state you live in, with a median cost of $2.80 per watt."

Charging a Leaf at 1.5kw takes about 24 hours. BYD recently announced 1500kw charging which is the "5 minutes" charge. Is that what you meant

"This fix would require only an act of Congress. Proportional, multi-member districts are not only constitutional, they are broadly consistent with American history and political norms."

Novo Nordisk's Wegovy and Ozempic shots could be made for as little as $3 a month, analysis finds Generic versions of Novo Nordisk’s Wegovy and Ozempic medications could be mass produced for about $3 per person a month, according to a new analysis.

"...the researchers estimated a generic version of semaglutide β€” the key ingredient in the Ozempic diabetes treatment and Wegovy weight loss drug β€” could be made for $28 to $140 per person a year and then sold at low prices once patents expire this year in several countries."

There Are 154 Billionaire Women in the U.S. Here’s How They Amassed Their Fortunes. The ever-growing list includes CEOs and entrepreneurs, ex-wives and widows, and some heiresses, too

Still sounds like confirmation bias.

There are 154 women billionaires. This article highlights three that do philanthropy. The largest philanthropist is Miriam Adelson, casino heiress, who donates to GOP.

Perhaps the real answer is that all billionaires are policy errors rather than only men.

Don't get your hopes up. The governor of Oklahoma, also a member of the Cherokee tribe, kept saying how a SCOTUS judgment was about "race" when he meant "treaty sovereign".

I think clsqb is using this as a proxy for judgment of character (in line with the OP) rather than a judgement of election outcomes.

i.e. If a person votes for the the nazi party, that in of itself is a judgment, even if the nazi party would never take power.

NEW: Clemency for Tina Peters would be unprecedented, based on my analysis of Gov Polis' 25 commutations. Peters hasn't shown remorse, taken accountability, or sought to restore harm. No Polis commutation was for a harsh sentence alone and Peters' would be the shortest by 30+ yrs

It's telling that it's just generic "thousands" - they could have done some history in an effort to justify the war.

People who want children need to plan and save in advance for k-12 education costs, just like the rest of us do for big-ticket wants. It’s hardly an unknown factor. Plan, save, reproduce prudently and within means.
