This letter misses the mark by forgetting that modern Gen III/IV reactor designs exist. But also, they are heinously expensive to implement, don't have a lot of track record, and solar/wind/geothermal is here right now and very cheap.
The Salt Lake TribuneLetter: The nuclear promise of jobs, tax money and easy energy in Utah is a Faustian bargain
Brandon Beckham got what he deserved. Remains to be seen if he will face charges for what sounds like sexual abuse of his lawyer who was representing him in the original sexual abuse charges. #utpol www.ksl.com/article/5160...
Jury convicts former Utah Senate candidate in sexual abuse trialA Utah County jury decided the fate of a former Utah Senate candidate on Wednesday in a sexual abuse case that dragged on for years.www.ksl.comTBH, accountability messaging is selling right now. The general feeling in America is that people with power don't have consequences. We'll buy just about any other part of the package if your main thing is "we're putting people in prison who would otherwise get away with it".
Jesse BerneyWhat really matters between these two wings of the party is that one of them wants to differentiate the party by holding wealth and corporate power accountable. The other believes doing so will kill the party. What we need is a new vision of the Democratic Party.
At least most PE firms are gentle enough to put you on a 3-5 year timeline.
Christopher BuechelerI would like to see more companies admit this - being a public company no longer means running a successful, thriving business. It strictly means delivering growth to investors, every single quarter, who do not care at all about the product the company sells or the people who produce it.
APA has been in the headlines many times for violating state law. They push a very far right view of the world on students and that's probably the only reason they haven't yet been cut off. #utpol
The Salt Lake TribuneIn February, State Auditor Tina Cannon asked a judge to hold the charter school in contempt. Cannon is now asking for an expedited ruling as American Preparatory Academy continues to hide its administrators’ salaries from the public, even though public money is used to pay them.
In other words, not much is going to change at EA.
Stella SaccoEA getting acquired by an uncaring, uninterested, wildly stupid outside entity that will inevitably run it ragged, make it produce garbage on impossible timelines, then strip the copper from the walls and shut it down when it doesn’t pay out fast enough is. Well. What more can I say
It's a special level of delulu to look at the ethnic cleansing project that is MAGA and think "we can find a reasonable middle ground". #utpol www.deseret.com/politics/202...
Why Utah governor says ‘now’s the time’ for U.S. immigration reformCox to lead bipartisan task force requesting state-led migrant work visas.www.deseret.comMacArthur wanted to invade and nuke China, and Patton thought we should have kept marching from Berlin to Moscow. Neither had any vision beyond military objectives, and that's dangerous when they're supposed to be subordinate to civilian authority.
Zach DorfmanContinuing my Korean War/Halberstam posting: It’s hard to convey how malignant Douglas MacArthur was, how anti-democratic, what a persistent threat to civil-military relations. Conversely, George Marshall was a man of towering integrity and wisdom.
My FIL was in utter disbelief that a 20-year timeline for citizenship was actually "normal" when following all of the rules. The legal immigration system is and remains intentionally broken.
Jonathon M. FloydThere is no possible way whatsoever for the vast majority of people throughout the world, including plenty of wealthy, well-educated people who would bring a dramatic net boost to the American economy, to immigrate to the United States and become a citizen in any practical amount of time.
I know many people who went from journalism to PR/lobbying because either their job was eliminated or they could get a way better paycheck on that side of the house. I hate it, but I also can't fault them.

As the picture implies, shade from an umbrella is good even if it makes you look weird. Also can't discount having a spray bottle of water if the humidity is low.

I'm old enough to remember people saying that TG was entirely controlled by the Russian government.
WarTranslated (Dmitri)Russian media report that the Russian Prosecutor General's Office has filed a lawsuit with the Supreme Court seeking to have Telegram designated as an "extremist" platform and to ban its operations.
A lot of public meetings are basically window dressing. The real conversations were had in private, the public meeting notice doesn't have the important details of the agenda item, and by the time people show up they're told "this is an action meeting, no public comment".
Brant ReevesIt’s a Fair Question….. “Why is it that it takes 900 years and 5000 impact studies to build high speed rail but a 5 minute city council meeting is all it takes to approve a massive data center?”
Looking at the massive anti-competitive consolidation in the production, processing, distribution, and sale of food, and assuming that the federal government will continue to do nothing about it, you treat it as a market failure like Hayek would. Many cities already did this with electricity.
Will StancilPolitics aside, do people believe city-run grocery stores with deeply discounted prices are a good POLICY idea? What are they intended to accomplish, in your view? What problem do they solve? Would you implement them if not running for election? I'm sincerely curious in people's answers here.
Any reputable airline would ask the air marshall on board to restrain her to her seat, ban her from the airline for life, and make sure she's prosecuted for interfering with the operation of the aircraft.
Hemant MehtaEvangelist Whitney Lynn says she preaches on planes because she loves “a captive audience.” She's not alone. It's becoming a trend. If spreading your message requires listeners who can't escape, maybe it's not as compelling as you think. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/christian-...
