    There were a couple folks on here that said that several times. Not sure who they are but they are very fine folks. Big credit to them.

    You know how in the winter .. models show a cold , snowy pattern. People are excited , slapping Coc k’s virtually etc.. and then slowly one by one the rug is pulled out .. the WAR stronger than modelled , models over estimating the trough etc. When that happens over the next few days for next week and beyond. The melts from ACATT are going to be awesome . Here’s a hint. Erin coming so far west .. much much farther than any model had ,, and Ferdinand next week .. tropics bring their environments north . The bumps will be so fun next week 

    A whole lotta beer there.

    The Trump administration’s claim that it is saving billions of dollars through DOGE-related cuts to federal contracts is drastically exaggerated, according to a new POLITICO analysis of public data and federal spending records.

    Through July, DOGE said it has saved taxpayers $52.8 billion by canceling contracts, but of the $32.7 billion in actual claimed contract savings that POLITICO could verify, DOGE’s savings over that period were closer to $1.4 billion.

    Despite the administration’s claims, not a single one of those 1.4 billion dollars will lower the federal deficit unless Congress steps in. Instead, the money has been returned to agencies mandated by law to spend it.

    DOGE’s savings calculations are based on faulty math. The group uses the maximum spending possible under each contract as its baseline — meaning all money an agency could spend in future fiscal years. That amount can far exceed what the government has actually committed to pay out.

    Counting this “ceiling value” gives a false picture of savings for taxpayers.

    “That's the equivalent of basically taking out a credit card with a $20,000 credit limit, canceling it and then saying, ‘I've just saved $20,000,’” said Jessica Tillipman, associate dean for government procurement law studies at George Washington University Law School. “Anything that’s been said publicly about [DOGE’s] savings is meaningless.”

    This.  And govt. money (i.e., taxes) is currently flowing 10 times faster to petroleum than it does to renewables. 

     

    It’s also why Musky got angry and broke up with his authoritarian boyfriend.

    Yup and they do a great job at making us all think it is a you vs me problem when it is really should be us vs them.

    was going to comment on this... yup 

    All major ens-derived, sweeping numerical index changes. Well represented in the spatial depictions, too.   A significant overhaul of the hemispheric foot pattern mode.  Not sure if that represents the end of summer but ...considering D10 enters the last week of August... modulate for climatology accordingly.

    Some of us knew while a select few prayed it wouldn’t be true.

    Take it away for working class consumers while they give it to big corporations and big banks instead? Socialism for the rich, individualism for everyone else…

    Going solar at 41-42 N? Probly should head back down to NC for that

    It is well worth it. At least it was until your oligarch regime is stripping away green energy incentives.

    The radar has what looks like moisture being fed in strips to the storm nearby via the sound. Any other reason for the lines on the radar?

    You need solar. A friend of mine was getting bills like that in the winter with electric heat,  he installed solar and has been saving a lot of money.

    Need a new roof before we go solar but yes it is in the pipeline. Heat pumps, new roof, and solar.
