As someone who genuinely hates most things about Texas (what you listed at the end). I think this is well said and really hits the point. Every state I’ve lived in has horrendous blackout when weather anomalies happen. The one thing I’ll say about the Texas grid is that I think it should be connected to the rest of the countries grid as it helps with fluctuations.

All true (though the proposal is for gaseous oxygen), which is why a long pipeline at the south polar site seems strange to me. Even if the O2 production must be done at a fair distance from the habitat, I'm wondering why it can't be buried in regolith over most of its length, which would partially mitigate some of the issues you mention, not to mention providing protection from meteorites.

OTOH, if you can learn to manage the issues you're identifying here at this site, you do open up a lot of the solar system (asteroids, moons of Mars, airless bodies generally)...

OK, but we were talking about Biden specifically.

I get your frustration and I feel it too. However you're being imprecise in who you blame.

If you want to blame anyone for lack of legislative progress look at Manchin and Sinema. If you think those two represent the party as a whole you're going to have a hard time with me taking you seriously.

Who said both sides are the same?

You built that strawman, genius.

The democrats are socially liberal, but economic conservatives.

The Republican are socially conservative, and economic conservatives

We don't even have the option for economic liberals

Stay stupid, I don't care. I can't educate you if you won't open your eyes.

...the democratic party held both houses of congress.

They didn't pass worker reform

They didn't pass judicial reform

They didn't pass election reform

They didn't pass weed decriminalization

They didn't end qualified immunity

They didn't end gerrymandering

Seriously, we all went out there and voted the democrats into power in 2020, we gave them both houses of congress, and we got NOTHING.

I just can't believe people are still this naive. You saw it with your own eyes!

This is exactly why Noam Chomsky spent his entire career attacking "liberal" parties in the US and Europe.

Conservative parties are allowed to entertain the entire spectrum of the right from moderate to far right ethnonationalists

While the liberal parties act as a limit for how left you can venture.
