This is the DOW that was consistently going up under Obama, but I didn't hear Righties give him any credit for that. But the moment it goes up with an impending Trump presidency it's all "look what Trump did!".
In part because we are trying to incentivise solar - you want more renewables, and you want to encourage people to shoulder the large initial cost of installation - selling surplus electricity back is an incentive there, and a greater share of electricity generated greenly is a win for society. The trick is making sure that solar users aren't unfairly advantaged (much - they are paying out for the solar) and that the electricity companies treat everyone fairly.
But it's fair that maybe the payback is up to even a little lower than the wholesale price, and that the
Remember, there are large subsidies to coal, nuclear, oil, etc. But because these are further downstream it's not as immediate as whether your neighbour is getting money back on his investment, apparently out of your pocket.
Essentially, everyone is subsidising everyone else. That's one of the whole points and benefits of society.
An actor is a public figure and certain facts about them are hardly secret, especially if available in other public and publicly accessible records. So expectation of privacy may be limited in those cases.
Her age may not and should not be relevant to most cases, but it's a matter of public record - her shoe size isn't.
Because no-one at all could tell that the student was black and not Oriental or white, amirite?
You might as well tell IMDB that it can't post pictures of actors because someone might know they are blacker than Morticia Addams and not get work due to a third party's racism.
Given the massive explosion of Rubik-style variation puzzles when it first became big in the early 80s, I somehow don't think innovation was hurt much with no trademark protection, even for Rubik themselves.
The only people who believed this were alt-right conspiracy nutjobs. I've never seen liberals espouse this.
And why would wanting to not live in an authoritarian oligarchy suddenly make a 'despotic' Cuba attractive? Or are you so far to the right that centrists and communists look about the same?
I'd be impressed if Paul Duffy could do this! On the other hand, it would be like "Hans all over you and Steele your stuff, Inc." to use a dead man as their front man - makes him unsueable!
Maybe they could call themselves "Grab them by the Duffy, Inc."...
Re: Uh, surely you didn't fall for the media's lie?
Even Fox were quoting Clinton as likely. So it looks more like a problem with polling methodology, or basic assumptions - for instance, assuming (not against Trump but against Clinton) that she would pull in most if not all of Obama's black and millennial cohorts. But enough of them were Bernie/Stein/stay-at-home babies that in some states they may have made the difference.
Also, where did the media try to discourage the 'right' from voting? I'd really love to see an example of that.
There is a difference between 'respecting policemen', which the current administration actually does, and 'letting them run riot with no consequences' which is what "respecting the police" seems to mean to the authoritarians.
"Respect maaah authoritaaaaay!" as a famous authoritarian once said with no basis in reality.
