Vance is the true "Moscow Candidate". Putin used the compromised useful idiot Trump to get Vance on the ticket and elected. The orange Cheeto will either have a heart attack, choke on a Big Mac, or have an accident with a window. Vance will be sworn in and Putin will have total control of the country.

Wild fantasy? Movie script? We have 3 years and 10 months to find out.

Comment The Elevator Business (Score 1) 276

The elevator business is great, but it has it's ups and downs. Elevator mechanics and installers make pretty damn good money, thanks to the elevator constructors union (it's a thing). They are also a bunch of prima donnas. On new construction installs if everything isn't perfect before they start the install, they will walk away.

The Florida construction market is red hot. There is so much work that anybody with a general contractor's license is taking all the work they can get. So "Johnny Pickup" is taking on projects that are way over his skill level or ability to complete financially. This happens during every construction boom. If your buddy is smart, he will be busy well into the next downturn.

The problem with bulk solar production in Florida is night time demand. Due to the hot and humid climate, you don't see a major demand drop as you do in other parts of the country.
TECO in Tampa is converting their Big Bend power plant from coal to natural gas. They are also building solar farms.

Florida power companies are no saints though. Look what they tried to pull over on the state's residents back in 2016
