Former Edison exec Calderon, now a lawmaker, seeks to cut rooftop solar credits
https://www.latimes.com/environment/story/2025-04-21/former-edison-executive-calderon-now-a-lawmaker-seeks-to-cut-rooftop-solar-credits

The state of California is governed by criminals.

> AB 942 would affect solar credits for people who installed the panels before April 2023 — limiting their current benefits to 10 years, half of the 20 years they were promised.

> The bill’s author, Assemblywoman Lisa Calderon, is a former executive at the parent company of Southern California Edison, which has long complained about the financial credits to households that generate more solar energy than they can use.

TLDR, this would alter contacts solar producers (home owners) made with energy companies (SoCal Edison / PG&E) that determine how much the energy companies pay solar producers for their power sent back to the grid.

The writer uses the term "credits" because this is what this shill

The Austrian School isn’t ignored because it’s wrong. It’s ignored because it’s dangerous. It’s dangerous to the Fed’s power, government expansion, and the comforting illusions of mainstream economics. When you understand this, the Austrian School’s marginalization isn’t just explained; it’s predicted by their own model of how power and money corrupt institutions.

Sitting at a cafe listening to two young psychologists discuss the case of a 17 year old girl, contemplating what wild mix of benzos and SSRIs they‘re about to prescribe to her for „depression“ and „anxiety“.

Zero regard for the human they are talking about, her story or experiences - just working off a checklist, then its back to talking about coachella.

Incredible to witness how this poor girl is about to be spiraled into drug addiction by two dumb bitches telling each other „exactly“.

The JFK Files - Everything You Need to Know


I listened to this while I was cleaning up my garden yesterday. There are some interesting things Wendigoon finds. Most importantly though is we still have no clue what happened with JFK.

That said, there are many other things that have been theories for years that have more dots connecting them. But most importantly, the piles of documents from the CIA and FBI show just how evil these organizations have been. So much of your suspicions are probably correct. Many things your normie friends probably think are crazy conspiracy are likely not.

Confirmed in the documents:

* The CIA makes a practice of infiltrating news organizations around the globe including in the US.
* Many nations pleaded with the US to not release these documents over the years

There is literally NEVER a time in which someone has “missed the boat” to buy something that will consistently grow in value by trading away something that will consistently lose value.

It’s simply crazy not too, they just don’t understand what it is and the idea of it just always rising in value seems absurd to them. Yet it’s perfectly simple and intuitive.

It’s like missing out on the best seats at the front the life boat and then saying “nah I’m just gonna stay on the sinking ship, the seats in the back look uncomfortable.”

npub18rdmn

Aug 3, 2024

So many nocoiners always say they missed the boat with bitcoin. Should have got in at 2011.

All utter nonsense. Such a dreadful fiat mindset. We are still so early, sats are ridiculously cheap right now.

In reality hardly anyone was here in 2011. The actual reality would be more 2015 and those who were here and got it deserved it. And only if they still hold it.

The real test is stacking with a bitcoin mindset. That is the true visionary. It is the future of your time and energy in purchasing power stored with sats.

All of the great changes in History you missed out on, well here you are in the early stages of the greatest paradigm shift of all time. Step back and take a look. You’re right in it. 🔥

Learning pre-bitcoin history really helps better understand it. Even in the context of the scams that have followed it. Many people see bitcoin as the first and therefore something that should be replaced. Understanding it stands on tech that came before helps add context.

npub1a2cww

Aug 2, 2024

Most people who I know that think the CIA invented bitcoin, are not very familiar with the pre-history of Bitcoin including work by Back, Szabo, Finney, etc.

I'm not saying that certainly no intelligence agency created Bitcoin, but rather, I'm very skeptical of the certainty that many people have around that topic.

Because, when you are somewhat familiar with that pre-history and look at it from an engineering perspective, you can clearly see the pieces gradually falling into place. In the1980s there was work by Chaum about how to build a database run by mutually suspicious entities. In the 1990s there was work by Back for proof-of-work. As things moved into the 2000s, there was Szabo's Bit Gold, which is very similar to what Bitcoin ended up being, and Finney's Reusable Proof of Work "RPOW" tokens. Finney hadn't solved the centralization issue, and Szabo hadn't solved

It bugs me how so many bitcoiners seem to really trust encryption when it comes to their bitcoin but do not seem to realize this also applies to files.

Bitcoiner's will trust the bitcoin to be on every node but encrypting a file and putting it in on AWS is foolish. I dunno. It bugs me. Makes me wonder if they actually understand bitcoin or encryption.

If you are the only one that has the key and the key is good, it is not gonna be cracked. If you doubt this, why do you trust your wealth to encryption?

If something like Trump speaking at the largest bitcoin conference didn't happen this year it would have happened at some point in the future. Maybe a different guy but it was bound to happen. Just like the ETFs were bound to happen.

I swear some of the takes on this stuff show a serious lack of critical thinking. A narrow focus on one's own beliefs without considering the society we live in.

As bitcoin rises in market price it attracts more people. Most people are statists. Those that hold bitcoin have more wealth an with wealth comes influence. These things attract politicians. Politicians seek the support of those with power and money. We know we don't need the state or politicians but that will not stop what is happening.

See it for what it is. The new phase of bitcoin's slow takeover of everything.

If Bitcoin is good money, then it will be adopted by governments. You cannot stop them, the same as they can't stop you. This is the whole point. Bitcoin is for enemies.

How you feel about the state embracing or attacking Bitcoin is completely inconsequential. Notes criticizing Bitcoin for being adopted more widely are nothing more than a virtue signal to the larp tribe.

It achieves nothing but demonstrating you don't understand what Bitcoin is.

Many bitcoiners are excited about the promises Trump is making. Just as many get excited about promises made by all politicians.

Then, these same politicians in a few years use fear of their promises being broken to get your vote. Every 4 years the country is "in danger" if one party loses or wins. Its so absurd.

We win by making governments obsolete. By making politicians obsolete. We are a long way from doing that.

It matters that Trump felt it necessary to come to this event. When a group of people become powerful they attract the attention of these demagogues. I think many in bitcoin get this subtlety. Some are still bought into voting and the system. Ignore them. Do not despair. This is a good day for bitcoin regardless of who is speaking. The headline is bitcoin can not be ignored. They have to fight or make promises. Don't trust this clown, of course. The more people that start holding bitcoin, the more rare people like us will be.
