I'm sure posting that will go well for him. A smart decision.

The jerbs are on the sales and installation (and distributors, electrical supply, city and utility workers, etc) side and not much on the manufacturing side. There are like 260k solar jobs in the US and I doubt even 1% are in manufacturing. And those are lower paying jobs to boot.

I don't know that it will hurt me though because it will hurt the larger competition a lot more and likely put some or all of the big residential and small commercial companies out of business. Or maybe it does take me down too.

(I see the economist said 15% in factories. I don't see how that's remotely possible in the US. Solarworld is the biggest I think and has 3k employees, but that includes sales, management, marketing and stuff that they'd do if they manufactured overseas and it's also stuff foreign manufacturers hire people in America to do.)

I forgot about other equipment manufacturers. 500 of the 38000 people who work in manufacturing in the solar industry work at one of the companies filling suit. Almost all the rest are making something other than solar panels. Most of the racking equipment used here is made in the US and probably most of the inverters. So, the vast majority of US manufacturers in the solar industry would be hurt by this and are opposed to it.

I'm still afraid the Trump administration takes this action purely as a coal roll.

i dont buy that she's mostly a troll. there's some self-promotion and provocation, but mainly she's a very hard-working white supremacist with some fairly clear policy goals in mind and tactics calibrated to mainline those ideas

I gotta admit I'm having PTSD flashbacks after betting on this boxing match.

I'm scared to even look at SE about this, but is it safe to assume that the pro-white (guy) side of the boxing match will be claiming that A) it was stopped too soon and B) it's basically a win anyway that he lasted that long against an elite professional boxer?

There's a couple Connor slappies trolling the thread dedicated to the fight atm.

I think it was the correct call, and I wanted Connor to win(however unlikely). He wasn't going to last much longer, let alone two more rounds, especially without being knocked down/out.

I should add that I just went and looked at some of the last few pages of the main fight thread and I have to say it wasn't anything like I assumed it would be in terms of rhetoric. My bad SE!

More like he was about to suffer permanent damage in the next 15 seconds.

p.s. The point to ponder is whether it should've been stopped in the 9th.

However, as a McGregor fan, I am really glad he didn't pull off a miracle!!! Too many bitter uneducated people in this country looking for another white guy to blame their ****ty lives on. Would hate to see all the Irish Pubs being protested/torn down

Her explanation was basically that national media accepted the Clinton spin on the meeting, even though it was contradicted by local news. Not a great moment for her.

After the 2016 election, I was pretty rattled, but betting big on Macron and Mayweather cured that. U gotta get back up and keep making +EV moves.

there's also this where he allegedly calls gary cohn a "globalist" https://www.axios.com/exclusive-trum...478121273.html

it seems pretty clear that bannon or some of the other recently fired deplorables are telling these stories now to hurt people they disagreed with

Do you think that backing favourites is +EV?

In Mayweather's case, absolutely. McGregor never had a prayer. It's amazing to me that someone with stopping power in MMA couldn't even do damage in a boxing match.

I realize this is responding to some FAKE NEWS that's several days old but I just wanted to get this off my chest:

Louis C.K. is a raging narcissist and his comedy sucks.
