here's an #idea. how about, asides from the usual #local & #geopolitical #reporting, #celebrity #gossip, and for whatever reason: #sports
every #news #show from now on contained 2 additional segments:
- one about the general state of the #climate & #biosphere of #planet #earth, our only #home
- one about the general state of the #infrastructure & #supplychains that keep us all #alive
on a daily basis. even if nothing specific happened. until people "get it".

"Shoulda woulda coulda never did nothin’", as a close friend's mother once said.
I don't think that it would have made a difference one way or the other. Dems had to play the cards they held, they decided to play it this way, and whether the other strategy would have achieved a better result is everybody's guess. And irrelvant.
What I don't like, though, is that when the decision was made, that even Nancy Pelosi (whom I admire deeply for all of her political career) first praised Biden for his humility in putting country before ego, and then, when things went south, backstabbed him with ridiculous accusations. That I find indecent. (Apart from the fact that blame games never work and that they never win anything. Things turned out this way, not the other.)
All the blame-games about why Dems lost not only the White House but both Houses of Congress ignore (in my opinion) the impact of one topic that seems to have been decisive in these elections but hasn't yet been spoken about in the post-election discussions. And it has (in my opinion) been so decisive that it would have turned the election to GOP's favour regardless which candidate Dems had finally come up with.
Many talk about the individual person's economic assessment as decisive topic. Others name migration and "the border situation". Fair enough.
But the more driving factor (again: in my opinion) has been abortion. And here Dems were in a bind. They chose abortion to rally a certain segment of the population. And that worked fine in white middle class people with higher education. But at the same time it seems to have alienated another important part of the traditional voting blocs of the Dems, viz. the Latino voters, who are said to be more faith driven and more family value driven.
If you add abortion to migration/border and economic hardship, you get a powerful surge for the T campaign.
1) Many low-income earners and many "minorities" feared that more migrants would take away their jobs and put more strain on already scarce resources of #infrastructure (housing, education, health services). They acted like they didn't want to see "their" "opportunities" they once received now offered to others, a "close the door quickly after me" sentiment. Not directly racist but an example of lateral violence.
2) Advertise abortion and "minorities" and low-income people, most often faith and family value driven, get the feeling of their sense of identity being threatened. And here not T, not tax cuts for the rich, not the rise in consumer good prices due to his planned tarrifs, not Project 2025, not his fascism, not the surveillance capitalists' tech imperialism, or whatever you like to come up with, matters. The only thing that matters is that Dems (and only Dems!) threaten the identity of the vulnerable.
So perhaps Dems could have avoided the outcome of the election if they could have desisted from using abortion as topic at all. It's my impression that they blew it with this topic. And it is my impression that they not really had a choice: They probably couldn't have *not* used this topic as they needed the strong female support.
There was no way around, I guess. Dems were doomed with the abortion topic, one way ot the other. It blew up their Big Tent. Regardless whom they would have finally selected as candidate, by whatever process. -

When biking infrastructure is only seen as "recreational", it leads to design choices that make it unreliable for practical transportation use.

Harry Dempsey, "World’s largest transformer maker warns of supply crunch" https://www.ft.com/content/a0fa2e61-b684-42b7-bd12-6b9d7c28285c
« Transformers had long been readily available within six to eight months when manufacturers suffered from a glut for years, but demand in the $48bn market has suddenly rocketed. Its size is expected to reach $67bn by 2030, according to estimates by consultancy Rystad Energy.
Utilities wanting to buy the key piece of electrical infrastructure would now have to wait three to four years if they have not reserved one already, said Schierenbeck, formerly CEO of German energy company Uniper.
The supply chain bottleneck is another pinch point for power systems struggling with surging growth in electricity generation and ageing infrastructure.
In particular, the expanding share of renewables in the electricity mix in some markets requires more transmission equipment because they are often located far from users and produce power from more dispersed sources than traditional electricity plants.
That has created an urgent need to upgrade the grid to tackle huge waiting lists for new projects to connect to networks, as regulators struggle to cope with the major power system overhaul that decarbonising requires. »

#Bidenomics Is Transforming America. Why Has No One Noticed?
The #Biden Admin has passed #legislation spending trillions of dollars on #manufacturing & #infrastructure across the country. “The biggest mistake we made, we didn’t put up signs saying ‘Joe Did It,’” Biden said.
Among Biden’s afflictions & miseries, his wormwood & gall, there are the insults (about his capacities), & there are the compliments unpaid (about his achievements).…To him the 2nd are more painful.

Cycling on Rails
Málaga's metro is - let's be honest - peculiar. Gigantic metro stations that you'd expect from a major city, complete with superimposed tunnels & platforms. But then the actual metro is underwhelming: just an average tram running every 10 minutes, or 7 minutes at rush hour.
It makes one wonder whether an overground tram network wouldn't have been more efficient. The answer is that line 2 runs below a 2x2-lane boulevard. #subway #infrastructure #Malaga
