Science has shown that even just building high-end housing will lower housing prices across the board: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0094119022001048?via=ihub
They take the money from the rich people, lowering prices in the middle class, lowering prices for the lower class.
Literally just building more houses does work though.
I mean, we do that. Just say it's good to censor bad things. There's nothing wrong with that, so don't lie about what you're doing.
I think it's more like this: Say maintenance of a grid costs $1 million/year, power generation costs another $1 million/year and people use 10 million kWh/yr at 20¢ per. Everything is balanced. Then half the people cut their usage in half. Grid maintenance still costs $1 million/year, generation dropped to $750,000, but revenue dropped to $1.5 million. They have to raise the price 16% to go back to paying for maintenance. You're still saving money if you dropped your usage more than 16%, but those that didn't pay the difference.
Since you generally have to be fairly well-off to afford the massive upfront labor costs involved with solar, its adoption has disproportionately raised the living expenses of the lower class.
The alternative is a base services charge, where everyone pays a flat percentage of the grid maintenance costs and then his or her usage is on top of that. No idea why it's taking this long for PG&E to adopt that model, but adding charges for solar is a big improvement in equity.
I thought it's widely-agreed that gender dysphoria is a mental illness. The debate lies in how to treat it—try to realign the body with the mind or the mind with the body.
What power grids receive public funds for upgrades? Even my public grid on the mainland is funded entirely by my municipality and state.
It was privatized under Trump after all the rolling blackouts the public grid kept having. So far it has actually rather improved in quality somehow.
They would be either way. For the moment there is some hope and evidence things are getting better instead of just endlessly sliding worse and worse.
So he's just completely delusional?
Their last attack killed a single Palestinian and Israel just destroyed their air defense with planes in response. There is no scenario where Iran comes out ahead in this. Does the Supreme Leader think he has a chance, does he think he has to do this to save face to retain power, or is it just suicidal hatred of Jews and the West?
The 25th is a Wednesday, not a Tuesday like he was wanting. Tuesday is nice because you get a four-day weekend without using any days off. (Though, usually you'd get the next off if it was a Monday or Sunday or whatever.) I think the best is Friday or Monday because then New Year's gives you a three-day weekend too.

Israel definitely did its part, but I'm just saying Gaza was way better off even just on October 6th before Hamas started the war.
Mass murderers objectively have a pretty low value of human life. But there's also the fact that he started an organization to send people to their deaths, brought unprecedented war to Gaza, stole humanitarian aid, stole millions of dollars, and has adamantly rejected any peace talks.

Possibly a stupid question, but how do I add functionality to the back button in Android without reimplementing the back button entirely nowadays?
Prior to last year, I would just call onBackPressed() and then simply override it:
kotlin
override fun onBackPressed() {
super.onBackPressed()
doMyStuff()
}
It looks like this is now deprecated, and it's recommended to use OnBackPressedCallback objects. It's simple enough to replace onBackPressed() with onBackPressedDispatcher.onBackPressed(), but I can't figure out how to recreate the override.
I can replace the functionality easy enough:
kotlin
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
…
onBackPressedDispatcher.addCallback(this, object : OnBackPressedCallback(true) {
doMyStuff()
})
}
However, this replaces all back button behavior. It doesn't just add to it, despite the function name. I still want the back button to go back, but don't want to have to try t
