after some percolation, my takes on the Pipeline Deal are Thus:
1. we should not be investing in more infrastructure for fossil fuel extraction
2. if Carney's going to half-ass it, leave all the negotiating to Smith, and let this thing flail around and die, I'm pretty okay with that

What’s funny is that Fox News spent days hyping this as a Showdown with Socialism and Mamdani effortlessly charmed him to the point of hypnosis in like an hour. Trump’s joining DSA by midnight if Stephen Miller doesn’t get him out of there.
