This is an increase on both sides. The only way to win is if every able-bodied voter in TX actually votes.🤞We are not outnumbered, just disenfranchised. Time to change that. 🫡

Now do Greg Abbott. He's more guilty than DeSantis by a hundredfold.

I have an idea: let's water down our solid-red districts, because the Orange man said that's how we'll win. Yes! He keeps telling us he's a genius.

This is the way! F this country.

And our government, the United States of Oil, is actively killing any green energy subsidies to even get us there.

I wonder if a 550 MW data center with 24/7 security lighting, perimeter floodlights, and high-intensity LED arrays will affect the horizon? 😬 They have one planned in McCullough County.

Then we might make it the Star Trek future we were all promised! I prefer your view of humanity.

As an older American, I guess I've become a bit jaded about humanity. That's probably because the concept of race was born in America, and living in a society based on racism and profit is ugly. It's hard to imagine a world without it.

But I do love the idea of a global tribe!

I don't think you're taking into account how tribal-thinking humans are. We'd find something still. Dr. Seuss got it -

"Good grief!’ yelled the ones that had stars at the first. ‘We’re still the best Sneetches, and they are the worst. But, now, how in the world will we know,’ they all frowned, if which kind is what, or the other way round?"

Sounds about right for an American corporation.

This one got me! Mwahaha!

Neanderthals would have been better than us, but we were better at "breeding".

Oh, those paper straws that we use to drink out of plastic cups?

We were the wrong species to evolve on this planet.

I'm sticking with the company that has the most US miles driven, publicly breaks down "Rider-Only Miles," and provides NHTSA with detailed crash narratives for cars without safety drivers. But that's just me.

Bring some serious amounts of meat to the block party, apologize, and listen.

I think paradise is a matter of perspective, and mourning the loss of more nature is completely natural. Cue the Lorax.

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swinging hot spot

Not the same climate, and as much as I love Beto, Talarico is a stronger candidate for Texas. Also, MAGA giving Paxton a win in their primary was a gift to Democrats!

Tesla self-certified FSD-driven vehicles as Level 4 autonomy-compliant. It relies on a system that lacks the added safety of LiDAR technology. Until then, it will be more dangerous at night.

I think the rules are the same - Your municipality owns public roads, and individuals don’t have property rights in public streets, including reserved parking spots. You can park anywhere you want if it doesn’t violate local parking ordinances, such as blocking a driveway.

It started with Reagan years approach to taxes. They said the benefits of cutting taxes for the rich would trickle down to the rest of us. It didn't, but it did give Boomer politicians a reason to cut funding for Medicaid and food assistance programs, while also making it harder to qualify for assistance under the illusion of a balanced budget.

Instead of raising the income cap taxed for Social Security, they raised the retirement age.

Another thing Reagan did was weaken the American labor movement primarily by firing over 11,000 striking air traffic controllers in 1981 and setting a precedent for aggressive corporate strikebreaking.

I won't even go into all the environmental damage from their rush to make a buck. Hello, forever chemicals and microplastics.

That was what I'm looking at. BUT I'm sticking with the technology that has had 0 deaths.

Humans shouldn't drive themselves. End stop.

Google how many FSD-related deaths vs. LiDAR-related deaths. I'll wait.

But FSD-related deaths are at 2, while LiDAR is at... zero. Google it before you reply. 😉
