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

I was recently watching an episode of Foyle's War and thinking to myself, "yeah, dudes should probably put on a coat and tie before going fishing"

Congrats, Ryan! Haven't see you on the 15 in a while...

Don’t be ridiculous. They get 2 safeties and a pick six to will 11-3

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

“Solely” conservatives like Osita Nwanevu and Hasan Piker?

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
