    I just wish we could source them from somewhere other than China

    So why are you in favor of an expensive inefficient and dirty energy source? I have no problem with people who want to own or use solar panels. I just don't want to pay for it. The chicoms make the vast majority of solar panels because they don't have to deal with the horrific environmental issues to get the necessary metals and the construction process. Your "wish" is just that. A wish like wanting a unicorn. Get rid of the federal and state tax credits and subsidies and the state solar mandates and then those in favor of solar panels not made in China can have at it.

    Well I’m in favor of paying less for electricity for one. If it’s a net gain to my wallet over a 5yr run, I’d throw em in the roof. I just don’t want to support Chinese businesses and the CCP to do it.

    For the record, I think we should utilize a variety of different forms of energy production where it makes sense. HE, wind, solar, nuclear, coal, oil, NG….

    Treat the energy sector as it should be. A Non subsidized open market and let the cream rise to the top.

    It’s pretty maddening that half of all houses in New England burn oil to create electricity when a pipeline from Pennsylvania could provide cheap, reliable NG to reduce energy costs, if only state and federal legislatures could get the fuck out of the way.

    The only way it is a net gain is if YOUR solar panels get OUR federal and state incentives which is more than 30% of the cost and the panels are made in China. I agree, let the free market work. Just like we used to have cheap gasoline. Upstate New York has lots of natural gas but the state bans fracking and New York bans new gas pipelines. In that case, it's purely a state issue supported by dem politicians.

    We are currently meddling in energy the same way we meddle in healthcare. The competition is artificial in many respects and that leads to artificially elevated costs in both sectors.

    Imagine if our FG announced that the moronic Medicare for all philosophy should be extrapolated to the energy sector.

    We’d be talking about the nationalisation of all energy production and subsequent rationing of supply.

    Where in the fuck has that worked?

    Look at the prices for Lasik eye surgery or plastic surgery, neither covered by insurance and therefore not highly regulated. Prices are down, quality up. Amazing what competition can do. Trump wanted hospitals to post prices for surgeries. Dems and RINOs and most importantly, their client group the hospitals hated it.

    I don't think I've bothered with a Bond film since the 90s. Daniel Craig sucks and it's watered down and p.c. shit. Roger Moore all day.

    The AHA lobbies do work in DC. Recent Medicare reimbursement bump of 9% only to hospitals….not physician owned ASCs. HCS have gotten too large and are beginning to function like government run care. ASCs are the competition in elective procedures so now you have mega-systems colluding with the federal government to stomp out what is a superior product and service in most cases.

    My orthopedic doctor is in a physician owned practice. He admits that its been hard to stay out of the maw of the hospital practices. My wife worked for a physician owned NICU practice. Then with obamacare, they caved and sold out. The regulatory mess of medical practice, like HIPAA and both private and government billing makes the huge hospital orgs attractive for the government but not for the nurses and doctors.

    The overhead associated with running a private practice is triple what it was just ten years ago. Part of the design of Obamacare was to destroy independent physician-owned groups and transfer the care pathway from the doctor to the accountants and attorneys of large healthcare systems and insurers, because those are the two entities that the federal government is most comfortable doing business with. There is no doctor Union/lobby in DC….so there are no kickbacks to be had by the men and women that actually treat us.

    Break up the hospital mega systems. They aren’t good for patient care.

    You can't fix it. Give the parents the money and the power and get rid of public education indoctrination.

    https://www.americanexperiment.org/midwest-teachers-leaving-the-classroom-over-student-behavior-left-wing-politics/?fbclid=IwAR0oalCIRHUL-H2vQmKiyUJ4_pOJ4eRk2O2XH2xsKH-wvHRe2QnPTRT3Spg

    Midwest teachers leaving the classroom over student behavior, left-wing politics
    While the national teachers’ unions cite Republicans’ and parents’ “politicization” of the classroom as the reason for educators wanting to leave the field, Tony Kinnett with the Chalkboard Review discovered this is not what’s driving Midwestern educators out of their classrooms.

    Kinnett asked 615 K-12 teachers in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri and Wisconsin the main reason they were leaving their current position and whether they would return if it was dealt with. Respondents were also asked whether they were union members, of which over half (356) said they were.

    Student behavior, left-wing politics
    An overwhelming majority of respondents (319 out of 615) listed student behavior as their number one reason for resigning, followed by 138 selecting “progressive political activity” (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, CRT, gender identity) and 134 basing their decision on “insufficient” salaries.

    When teacher pay is posed as a contributing factor to the other answer choices (“I’m not being paid enough to deal with ________”), 93.35 percent of Midwestern teachers stated student behavior and admin requiring progressive political activity are why they are resigning.

    Parent “demands” wasn’t even close. “It’s not even a secondary or tertiary issue — it’s 49 times less important to teachers than the behavioral crisis,” Kinnett writes.

    Crony capitalism sounds better than corruption.

    https://instapundit.com/

    KAROL MARKOWICZ: Democrats declare needless emergencies — on COVID and maybe climate change — to grab power.-

    Gov. Kathy Hochul has been extending her “emergency” powers monthly since she declared a state of emergency in November in response to the Omicron variant. (That was after declaring a “statewide disaster emergency due to health-care staffing shortages” in September.)

    The governor’s office downplays her extensions by saying they give “the state the flexibility to troubleshoot hospital capacity issues.”

    But that’s not all. As Albany’s Times Union reported last week, “The order suspended competitive bidding for certain contracts as well as the normal contract review and approval process conducted by [Comptroller Tom] DiNapoli’s office, which oversees state government spending.”

    This is a big deal. The state spends our money recklessly at the best of times — but with this “emergency” in place, it doesn’t have to answer to us or even pretend to give expensive contracts to anyone but friends.

    The family of Charlie Tebele, owner of Digital Gadgets LLC, has donated almost $300,000 to Hochul’s gubernatorial campaign. By great coincidence, surely, the state has paid Digital Gadgets $637 million for at-home COVID-19 test kits. No bidding, no problem. It’s an emergency, you see.
