@yasha I’ve found outlines to be outstanding as a study reference to refresh my memory professionally and personally. I’ve rewritten many a manual into my own little study guides. I hate all the extraneous verbiage of complete sentences. 😌

Outlines are useful, but craft them with flexibility in mind. You often have no real idea what you need to say until you've started saying it.

While I think a lot of Biden’s policies could go further, it is good to see the nation investing in itself again: “Rather than scaring off private investment, as the trickle-down theory argued, that public investment has attracted more than $490 billion of private money into new industries. Manufacturing is booming. Together, infrastructure and manufacturing have created new jobs that pay well.”

@GottaLaff So will the court, last I heard run by a Thump appointee, give the rich White guy an extension or say a public defender is good enough? Let’s see some equality under the law. 🤔 #TheHeadLiar desperately wants as many delays as he can finagle so he can get re-elected. 😷

The
#GunViolenceUSA Guns are the problem, more guns are the answer. Not only that but every kook and maladjusted citizen has the fundamental Right to own and carry lethal power until they violate our trust and slaughter innocent people. But such is the price of the freedom to caress My Precious- the GOP promotes though policy as we observe:

@cannebrannen@toot.community I’m interested in this article but don’t want to have to install an App to read it. I’d it available as a normal link?😕

Goodhart's Law is the idea that "when a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure".
Once people are exposed to this idea, they often come up with analogous phenomena. But no one had yet unified all the similar phenomena in a single theoretical framework.
So one of our goals was to create a consistent set of terms that highlight the structural commonalities across different examples of "Goodhart-like" phenomena. Our key terms are: "regulator", "goal", "agent", and "proxy".

@tultican As I like to say this is not your Father’s or Grandfather’s GOP. My Father now 95 a long time Republican in a Republican family dumped the GOP during Dubya’s Administration and has never looked back, because it has only gone downhill since. You could say it drove off a cliff into it’s own personal fantasyland along with its Koolaid drinkers. Btw, Eisenhower did warn of the #MilitaryIndustrialComplex. I guess that explains the accusation. 🤔

How extremists ‘won by losing’ - Bircher Robert Welch was infamous for his claim that Eisenhower was a “conscious, dedicated agent of the communist conspiracy.” Now he seems normal in the modern GOP. https://inschoolmatters.wordpress.com/2023/06/26/how-extremists-won-by-losing/ #conspiracytheories
@GreenFire I’m not against that but it would have to be affordable. I examined and rejected solar panels because of associated complications. A huge investment, you had better stay put for 20 years, or as is you’ll likely eat your investment. I may be moving in 5yr. Significant govt involvement needed imo or many home owners won’t be able to afford them.

@Huntn00
Not all of our power can be provided by solar panels on rooftops and covering parking lots so there will have to be companies producing power from wind turbines and such too despite my earlier reply, but there is plenty of that so I don't see any need to subsidize the nuclear energy industry.
I would much rather focus on deploying the technologies that are now available in order to more quickly decarbonize.
@GreenFire what do you have in mind? For thorium, there are reports that smaller reactors could be produced for use at more local areas. As I see it there would be the Feds, State or corporations until we can advance beyond the latter, another topic for a rousing discussion. 😊 why no Thorium? Very possible the #PetroIIndustrialComplex Congress has been in their pockets forever.

I am a much bigger fan of producing power close to where it will be used instead of propping up big corporations so that they can profit off of people providing essential products personally.
