it's “infrastructure reich” this week for the America First Caucus

The land of nonsense has now been proposed, because the new America First Caucus decided they’ll advance the demand of the previous guy that all future public buildings should look like neoclassical architecture promoted by fascist movements in the last century.

In Texas, it's mainly the failure of thermal power plants — natural gas, coal, and nuclear plants

Texas is the coalmine canary of failures in the GQP’s industrial policy. The “clusterfuzzle” appears to be only in Texas: perhaps they skimmed on costs and failed in winterizing their plants. The structural failure comes from the anti-federal, deregulatory policy of the Texas grid which reveals itself in the disinformation...

Anti-Capitalist Meetup: is there a “fully unexploited luxury socialism”

Our obliteration of the natural world’s habitats create ideal conditions for pathogens to emerge.

A small remnant of Tallgrass Prairie in Sugarcreek Metro Park, Ohio, The first pioneers found western Ohio’s open tracts of warm season grasses and colorful summer wildflowers quite formidable. Dense seas of vegetation grew as tall as a person on horseback and the often wet conditions bred mosquitoes and other biting insects. Prairie was initially ignored for farming and development due to its lack of trees. The early thought was any land that didn’t support forest was infertile and not worth the time or effort to tame. Once that mindset was reversed and the prairie’s deep, rich black soil was bitten into by the steel plow, it wasn’t long before it had all but disappeared. Ohio Department of Natural Resources
