04:44 IsambardPrince; MinceR, And after railing against the Inflation "reduction" Act the Republicans have gotten squirrely about whether they'll actually repeal it.

04:44 IsambardPrince; The Democrats once again directed most of the spending into Republican districts, making the opposition look like geniuses for all the jobs and economic stimulus.

04:45 *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #techrights

04:45 IsambardPrince; While they lose the election and the rest of the public suffers from additional inflation.

04:46 MinceR; :>

04:46 IsambardPrince; This is like all the other Democrat bills where they pass it and end up self-sabotaging and then 15 years later their bill is reclaimed by the other party.

04:47 IsambardPrince; MinceR, The Republican districts get all the spending and jobs, and meanwhile, the "blue" districts where the blacks and Mexicans live, they get no jobs.

04:47 IsambardPrince; Just 40% youth unemployment and anger and crime, like always, while their apartments are 25% more expensive.

04:48 IsambardPrince; You might as well at least invest some money in these "Hispanic" majority districts and get factories going.

04:48 IsambardPrince; They'd at least show up and work.

04:49 IsambardPrince; Instead of drugging themselves to death like what the blacks have done for 50 years, and like what's set in with lower class whites for the last 20 or so.

04:49 IsambardPrince; The government's fiscal policies have finally made low status whites about even with the way it's treated blacks for so long.

04:49 IsambardPrince; The illiteracy and poverty rates have soared.

04:50 IsambardPrince; I noticed that this process was underway where my mother lives for some time now.

04:50 IsambardPrince; They shut down a perfectly good public school and turned it into another church.

04:50 IsambardPrince; Which is exempt from paying any tax, including sales and property.

04:51 IsambardPrince; So now it doesn't do anything that benefits the surrounding area, whereas if they had turned it into apartments, it would be on the tax rolls and providing shelter.

04:52 IsambardPrince; Well, if Trump pays no more than $500 a year in federal tax then I don't think I should.

04:52 IsambardPrince; My mother was angry when I told her that for 3 years I paid nothing or negative tax, followed by a year where I owed about $400.

04:53 IsambardPrince; She said "How the hell does that even happen?" I said, "Trump went 20 years in a row like that and he's a billionaire."

04:53 IsambardPrince; She stopped in her tracks.

04:57 IsambardPrince; The only reason she can afford her rent is because I knew a landlord in the town she lived in that doesn't really do much in the way of fixing up her units and asked if she had anything, and she said yes, and there were about 50 people who had applied for it.

04:58 IsambardPrince; But I called in a favor and asked if she'd rent it to my mother and she did.

04:58 IsambardPrince; My mom is now paying about $300 a month under the market rent for the area.

04:58 IsambardPrince; And this landlord isn't aggressive about raising it. Sometimes goes years.

04:59 IsambardPrince; But her old landlord was letting 2/3 units not pay their rent, have cocaine and meth up there, and overflow the bathtubs and stop up the drains with hamburger grease.

5 AM, December 29

05:00 IsambardPrince; Even though Indiana law says you can evict after 5 days of missing the first payment.

05:00 IsambardPrince; When he walked in there, they had left powdered cocaine.

05:00 IsambardPrince; He called the cops and said it was from his tenants, they told him it was "powdered sugar".

05:00 IsambardPrince; And then later they admitted it tested positive for cocaine.

05:07 MinceR; since jinping the eleventh decided he's smarter than everybody else and started micromanaging the economy

05:08 IsambardPrince; Probably needed to be some kind of high ranking government official to get a Trabant that took 21 seconds to level off at 62 miles an hour.

05:08 IsambardPrince; :)

05:08 MinceR; we already know where that leads. he's going to find out.

05:08 IsambardPrince; MinceR, What kind of car can't even go the speed limit on a US state highway?

05:08 IsambardPrince; And takes 21 seconds to get up to "nearly that".

05:09 MinceR; but even if the USians are too much of a bunch of pussies to isolate communist china's communications, they could still break into bytedance's servers, delete everything and brick everything

05:09 IsambardPrince; And East Germany was still stuck with a two stroke engine in a new car? In 1990.

05:10 MinceR; "car"

05:10 IsambardPrince; MinceR, Apparently for the last model year of Trabant, they made some that had an engine from VW and a few other upgrades.

05:11 IsambardPrince; But one year after that, the West German government invaded and shut the factory down.

05:11 MinceR; it was still a piece of shit that looked like shit

05:11 MinceR; oh, i didn't know they did that before reunification

05:11 IsambardPrince; Ostensibly because it was too inefficient to salvage.

05:11 IsambardPrince; MinceR, Trabant would have probably been salvagable under Capitalism.

05:12 IsambardPrince; An investment in upgrading the assembly line and redesigning some of the parts of the car that were horrendously outdated.

05:12 MinceR; unlikely

05:12 MinceR; they would have to replaced the design with an entirely different one

05:12 MinceR; often using different materials

05:12 MinceR; s/ced/ce/

05:12 MinceR; they could have kept the buildings. maybe.

05:13 MinceR; also, don't forget that not only the design, but the entire assembly line was likely over 30 years old by then

11:34 Righty; I would like solar at least, but of course the power company will charge more anyway, even though they spy on your power usage closely via the remote power meter, they love "averaging" fraud if you use little power.

11:34 Righty; It's odd to mount solar panels vertically, as that faces the sun poorly.

11:36 Righty; It's amazing how much cheaper the solar panels have gotten due to how the Chinese government really loves ensuring solar panels are delivered at less than cost, but inverters and transformers and the like are still expensive.

11:39 schestowitz[TR2]; having panels here is a msileading proposition

11:39 schestowitz[TR2]; our roof is full of birds

11:40 schestowitz[TR2]; we feed dozens of them

11:40 schestowitz[TR2]; even gave them names :)

11:40 Righty; If you have it fed to a grid-tied inverter that doesn't cut off and you have an excess of power, the power has nowhere else to go.

11:41 Righty; Why wouldn't you mind sharing power that you can't use anyway really? The only case when not is when the electrical company wants to charge you for powering the grid if you don't have remote power-shutoff instaled.

11:43 Righty; The main issue with grid-tie inverters is if the grid is down, so is your power, even if your panels are delivering plenty of power.

22:06 IsambardPrince; <@MinceR> 29 081756 < IsambardPrince> Maybe some etcetera type stuff like "Wipe out the French language."

22:06 IsambardPrince; <@MinceR> the french language is pretty damn widespread, it's not only in Canada

23:03 IsambardPrince; MinceR, I probably would have kept my Trabant after East Germany collapsed.

23:04 IsambardPrince; With all the people who abandoned them it would be easy to strip them for spare parts.

23:06 *x-amarsh04 (~amarsh04@n5ik7pxgjf366.irc) has joined #techrights

23:09 IsambardPrince; MinceR, I would probably have some of the abandoned cars towed back and started tearing them down for spare parts.

23:09 IsambardPrince; Toss them in a barn or something.

23:09 MinceR; sounds like a waste of time, effort and barn space

23:24 IsambardPrince; MinceR, When you use Volkswagen parts in your last model year and it was an upgrade....

23:24 IsambardPrince; You might be a Communist country.

23:24 IsambardPrince; :D

23:25 admfubar; power dropped out for a split second this morning.. just got around to restarting my system

23:26 MinceR; IsambardPrince: volkswagen group still does that and germany is not a communist country yet

23:40 IsambardPrince; MinceR, Trabant used a VW engine for their last model year.

23:40 IsambardPrince; I don't even know why they bothered.

23:40 IsambardPrince; Just do the Communist thing and say there are no cars, live with it.

23:40 MinceR; lol

23:41 MinceR; the empire would have collapsed more quickly that way

23:48 MinceR; > However, it soon became apparent that there was no place for the Trabant in a reunified German economy. Its inefficient, labour-intensive production line had only survived thanks to government subsidies.
