What's kind of amazing is that we're actually living through a huge technology revolution where our entire power grid is being replaced by solar panels and battery storage and you hear less about it in the press than you did about the totally fake "tech" of NFTs

Jared Polis' plan to bring housing costs down is to give property owners more power to "solve" the problem. Meanwhile the property-owning class gets online every day and admits that their goals and incentives are the direct opposite of that. coloradonewsline.com/2024/04/10/d...

Great timing for Colorado Democrats to have reportedly made a secretive and ill-defined commitment not to pursue any state-level regulations on several of these same companies for the next ?? years.

Colorado’s new fees on oil and gas production will substantially increase the amount of money the state collects from fossil-fuel producers — but they will do little to offset its exceptionally low rates of conventional taxes on the industry.

This is the third time in a week that ballot-measure brinkmanship has produced major policy outcomes through closed-door negotiations at the Colorado Capitol (four if you count income taxes). Seems like a real escalation of a trend toward very opaque state governance.

The free market is the fairest and most efficient way to allocate society's resources; you can tell from the way we shield the wealthier 65% of the state from all of its pressures and leave the other 35% entirely at its mercy.

I know that it’s dangerous to hold on too tightly to formative political experiences of your youth. But that said: I just can’t get over how much all of the lessons of the post 9/11 era, War on Terror, Iraq and the protests against same are being just entirely excised from collective memory.

The very real way American society has gone soft is an inability to tolerate levels of tension generations past would have laughed at. A country as diverse & (putatively) free as we are will be fractious. If you say things like 'trying Trump will rip us apart' you shouldn't be in charge of anything.

Also in here: sober responsible adult-in-the-room business group Colorado Concern made a big show of signing on to Advance Colorado’s property tax cap only if it included a local funding backfill. Then the Title Board told them they couldn’t do that so now they just support the cap with no backfill.

Eric Harris may not have had what could fairly be called a coherent political ideology, but it's weird to me that an attack whose mastermind's main interests/themes were Nazism, social Darwinism, cultural degeneracy and hate speech hasn't more often been characterized as right-wing extremism.

It’s easier to see with stuff like fentanyl, which only entered popular consciousness in the last 5-6 years, just what an informational dark age we’re entering. The more recently Americans learned about something, the more likely they are to believe it’s the stuff of magicks and daemonologie.

It doesn’t matter how much effort a news org puts into maintaining its reputation for fairness or respectability. It’s all built on sand. The moment the journalism you do is inconvenient for someone who has the power to shut you out, none of that will matter one bit.

That’s all over now. Journalists don’t hold the power to reach large audiences; Big Tech does. At best we can wield a kind of afterimage of this power — popularity, credibility, reputation, cachet — that is socially constructed and has no material basis.
