Mnuchin and Pelosi negotiated the bailout, which did not have time for new efforts. The task was to keep the lights on right away by keeping existing plants running. Build Back Better is the venue for change. We need one or two Republicans to get such a thing passed.
Texas is an example of why localized grids are a bad idea.
Childcare should be funded through employer paid taxes (with credits counting against the tax) and include onsite daycare for both healthy and sick children - as well as clinics for employees. Small firms would purchase services from their office buildings.
Biden's speech also demonstrates the need for accountability against runaway leaders. From what I hear, this is coming sooner than later. Have I mentioned that Oleg Daripaska's homes were raided and that Igor Fruman is pleading guilty (and cooperating) in early December? Trump supporters, especially the pro-lifers, need to realize that by supporting a Putinist and by continuing to do so they are soft on Vlad.
The best thing that Latin America can do is what the U.S. did in 1787, at which time they can tel the U.S. to take a hike.
Small d democracy has no place deciding on individual rights. Justices and judges learn on the job. Look at Souter and O'Connor - and likely Gorsuch. Roberts certainly. In recent history, there have always been 3 factions on the Court of relatively equal strength - progressives, moderate conservatives and the right wing. Like supermajorities in the Senate (especially on Judges), be careful of how you tinker with what mostly works.
