  • I watched a video that claimed trumps media campaign was a big factor in his 2nd win. Trump went on many podcasts which were blowing up as a popular media in 2025. The democrats went mostly on tv and stage appearances which isn’t really meeting the media at the time. A lot of the tv stuff was scripted where people claim the podcasts weren’t (i doubt there wasnt at least a loose script). The one podcast the dems did do was a sex centered podcast and most of the listeners probably didn’t give a shit compared to the demographic listening to Joe Rogan and the likes. It was such a media blunder that in hindsight it almost seems intentional.




  • Yes, but at scale it is significantly cheaper to build larger and distribute it. It also means people don’t have to over invest in their own set up just to cover their peak usage. There is also a large amount of up front capital required to build with usually years before you get back what was invested. Its also almost impossible for renters or apartment buildings to do it themselves.


  • My area privatized the publicly owned electricity provider and since prices started going up they then had to implement rebates to bring bills down a bit. Effectively a roundabout way to move public funds from paying for the actual infrastructure into subsidizing corporate profits instead
