What's kind of amazing is that we're actually living through a huge technology revolution where our entire power grid is being replaced by solar panels and battery storage and you hear less about it in the press than you did about the totally fake "tech" of NFTs

Jared Polis' plan to bring housing costs down is to give property owners more power to "solve" the problem. Meanwhile the property-owning class gets online every day and admits that their goals and incentives are the direct opposite of that. coloradonewsline.com/2024/04/10/d...

Colorado’s new fees on oil and gas production will substantially increase the amount of money the state collects from fossil-fuel producers — but they will do little to offset its exceptionally low rates of conventional taxes on the industry.

How Colorado's new oil and gas production fees stack up against other states • Colorado Newslinecoloradonewsline.com Colorado’s new fees on oil and gas production will do little to offset the state's low rates of conventional taxes on the industry.

This is the third time in a week that ballot-measure brinkmanship has produced major policy outcomes through closed-door negotiations at the Colorado Capitol (four if you count income taxes). Seems like a real escalation of a trend toward very opaque state governance.

Colorado homeowners, who already make cost-controlled mortgage payments, will now also get cost-controlled property taxes courtesy of state intervention, while the state continues to ban local governments from enacting cost control for renters. coloradosun.com/2024/05/06/c...

The free market is the fairest and most efficient way to allocate society's resources; you can tell from the way we shield the wealthier 65% of the state from all of its pressures and leave the other 35% entirely at its mercy.

I know that it’s dangerous to hold on too tightly to formative political experiences of your youth. But that said: I just can’t get over how much all of the lessons of the post 9/11 era, War on Terror, Iraq and the protests against same are being just entirely excised from collective memory.

The very real way American society has gone soft is an inability to tolerate levels of tension generations past would have laughed at. A country as diverse & (putatively) free as we are will be fractious. If you say things like 'trying Trump will rip us apart' you shouldn't be in charge of anything.

My most anti-media view (for a guy inside media) is that we too often used terms like "chaos" and "civil war" to describe "people protesting" or "people having argumentative meetings."
