Or "Trump Tax"

Over the years, Republicans and Trump already gave world dominance in solar panels, wind turbines, and now electric cars to China. I'm sure for the few billion some Chinese whales put into $TRUMP, they will get robotics.

The survey these complaints are based on https://cvgenius.com/blog/care... says a whole lot more.

Key Takeaways
Two-thirds of UK workers (67%) have changed jobs, moved to a more affordable area, or relocated to a different city in response to the cost-of-living crisis.
87% report experiencing stress or burnout, with 50% citing long hours and heavy workloads as the main cause.
53% of workers would choose to work remotely with no chance of promotion, and 51% would take lower pay for unlimited remote work flexibility.
Two-thirds of workers (66%) would quit over full-time office mandates.
68% think AI will increase job competition, 61% fear AI will limit career growth, and 45% worry about being replaced by AI.
Half of UK workers (48%) don’t want to be managers at any point in their careers.
34% of Gen Z have “career catfished” by accepting a job but not showing up.
1 in 4 Gen Z (26%) want to start their own businesses — more than any other generation

And the cherry picking of one response when most of the others show management bad practices is just propaganda of two perennial themes: "Nobody wants to work anymore." and "Kids these days."

Yeah, I'm sure you are right. But I was making a joke and Fossilista arguments are short on relevant facts.

Consider the opportunities for skiing in the Cotswolds. Cotswolds are definitely hilly. They are characterized by their rolling hills, picturesque villages, and stunning countryside. This hilly terrain is a major part of their charm and contributes to the region's unique beauty. And with the perfectly natural collapse of the Gulf Stream, there will be plenty of snow.

One political party denies the need for clean power. Their platform denies global warming. Almost every project is fought by "local" astroturf campaigns funded through Fossilista funded groups.

Trump and all his lackeys are calling to defund solar projects. Trump thinks windmills kill birds (about 1% as many as cats, about 10% as many as powerlines. And the whales...

What did you expect?

Isn't that where the Republicans made a great deal?

According to Gemini:
"oxconn received a significant package of tax benefits and other incentives from the state of Wisconsin. The exact amount varies depending on the specific terms of the agreement, but it's generally estimated to be in the billions of dollars.

These incentives may include:

Tax credits: Reductions in corporate income tax or sales tax.
Job training grants: Funding to help train workers for the factory.
Infrastructure improvements: Investments in roads, utilities, or other infrastructure needed for the project.
Property tax exemptions: Temporary or permanent exemptions from property taxes.
It's important to note that the full extent of these incentives might not be publicly disclosed, as some details may be considered proprietary.

I thought it was windmills that killed birds, (and gave whales migraines). According the the DFL, the Domestic Feline League, it's windmills that kill birds, cats just like to socialize with them.

I'm sure the Fossilistas will claim that it's only renewable electricity that kill birds, not natural gas, oil, or lovable coal.
