No, Reuters to too chickenshit to even say that. They’re merely reporting that’s what “experts say”

This is total speculation on my part, but he’s from New Orleans so I’m guessing the correct pronunciation is the French Badié, which got bastardized to “bidet”

This may very well be true, I'm just looking for more careful, rigorous evidence. I see a lot of sweeping claims and cherry-picked stats about IOUs compared to munis/co-ops. These things should be pretty straightforward to study empirically

I haven't seen good analysis that IOUs are systematically more expensive than munis/co-ops, especially that considers differences in costs of service (i.e. munis tend to serve compact, denser territories that are cheaper on a per customer basis). Can you point me to any good studies that say this?

Note also the overwhelming silence in defense of their colleague from elected Dems. Maybe they're still waiting for the focus groups results to come back

I genuinely would like to better understand specifically what you mean. Are there specific things that could've been in the IRA, for example, that would have proofed it against GOP sabotage but were naively left out?

But surely a huge number of elected Democrats, especially her House colleagues, will speak up in solidarity with Omar right? Otherwise we might conclude they silently agree with Trump's bigotry...

Also those old DVDs have unscripted commentary extras that are genuinely interesting and insightful, which no actor/director would (be allowed to) do today

David's point applies much more broadly. Utilities should focus on providing safe, reliable, affordable (cost-based) utility service and not be the piggy bank to fund a broader policy agenda. This is a surprisingly unpopular view but it's correct.

This is nonsense. C&I rates tend to be lower because they use the system more efficiently (higher load factors). If anything, the subsidy is paid from C&I to Residential

Joyce Carol Oates
@Joyce... 17h O
So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates— scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the
"most wealthy person in the world."

Mamdani doesn't need Schumer's endorsement anyway. It's better that Schumer not endorse so that Mamdani doesn't owe him anything

You might be right. But it's easier for me to imagine a 51 seat D majority coming into power with a lot of talk about restoring the sacred norms of the world's greatest deliberative body and having ~half of Ds vote with all the Rs to restore the filibuster

What you say is absolutely true. But with the actual Senate Dems we have now, if they regain the Senate they seem more likely to restore the filibuster than to start passing bills with 51 votes
