Balaclava is the way. Find one with a covered, but vented nose.

Seems reasonable, 40k/yr is more than most can afford.

Can you point me to a time when capitalism did happen? Where governments and outside forces weren't picking winners and losers in the market? In such a time what was the plight of the common worker? Did we see overwork, workplace safety, and child labor issues?

Third wave communism doesn't seek to abandon the "free market" (which is free within bounds), it instead favors democracy in the workplace. Where all members of the organization are employee-owners including ceos and middle management and the "Board" is dissolved into either a representative or direct democracy made up of employee-owners. In this way one increases the incentives for each individual to perform and see the company perform well. This also mitigates much income inequality by allowing the workers a say in the compensation of middle and upper management.

It would be great to see a bike lane there too.

Oof, right in the feels.

One of Turner's Burning of the Houses of Parliament is at the Philadelphia MoA, if you have a chance, go see it in person.

If only we had a functioning government interested in protecting the people, we might avoid a lot of suffering/bloodshed.

I love seeing the positive impacts of our community. Please keep highlighting new communities. I was unaware of all of them and have subbed because of this post.

AI Summary (TLDR This): The context discusses the severe decline in California's rooftop solar market after regulators slashed compensation for solar power exported to the grid. Data shows residential solar installations dropped 77-85% and utility connections fell 66-83% since the policy change in April 2022. Solar companies are laying off thousands of workers, with an estimated 17,000 clean energy jobs expected to be lost by the end of 2023. This is undermining California's climate goals as distributed solar has been a major source of clean energy growth. Critics argue the policy unfairly shifts costs onto non-solar customers while advocates say it disproportionately impacts lower-income communities. A lawsuit is seeking to reverse the decision but its prospects are unclear.

The key policy change was California's Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) decision in December 2021 to change the state's net metering policy that had been in place for over two decades.

Previously under net metering, customers installing solar systems were paid the full retail rate for any excess solar power they sent back to the grid. But under the new "net billing tariff" implemented in April 2022, customers only receive a fraction of the retail value for most of the solar power they export.

This has reduced the financial benefits and payback period of installing rooftop solar systems by an estimated 75% on average. It has led to a sharp decline of 77-85% in new rooftop solar installations in California since it took effect, according to data from the California Solar and Storage Association.

So in summary, the CPUC decision to significantly reduce net metering compensation rates for excess solar power exported to the grid is seen as the major policy change that has disrupted the rooftop solar market in California.

We haven't noticed because prices are still high. Cooling inflation, is just a decrease in the rate of rise. That's not something most people are going to intuit. Especially when most people would interpret that phrase to mean a return to pre-inflation prices.
