It's definitely Willy Wonka's American branch factory

I mean, hell, if the right wing Dems separate from the progressives and join the less-crazy-than-maga centerish Republicans and they go play in corporate-funded Neverland that hopefully no sane voter would touch with a ten foot pole, a real progressive party might actually become a possibility. It'll isolate the magats and push them back into a hole, we may get a more moderate conservative party that could be open to compromising again, and hopefully a coalition of real progressives can begin putting forward some much needed ideas.

The key will be ensuring that that progressive party is funded well enough to compete with the corporate money that is pumped by the truckload into that new coalition (which will be a feat in itself).

I dunno, just anything to get these fucking fleas out of our politics.

Bonus:

Service call for a smoking main 200a breaker. Ended up shifting the entire bussing up to get fresh bus clips, covered the top of the bussing protruding beyond the backing with a comical amount of mastic, installed a new main breaker, and told the client they need to change that service yesterday. Old 80s/90s Crouse-Hinds, those mains are garbage.

I certainly concur.

Maybe? Unless the mods migrate that community to a new instance, I'm guessing so. I'm wagering this is the first time a sizable instance has shut down, so it'd seem we're all learning together.

Much obliged. I've actually been here about 2 years since the Reddit API fiasco but was originally on lemm.ee, and well, yeah lol. I'd wager that's the bulk of new accounts for the last few weeks.
