It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.

We need Jesse on here ;-) #alwaysbecharging #electrons nitter.net/JessePeltan/...

Nationwide average prices for industrial customers are slightly less than half of residential prices. That's before special negotiated discounts for the largest loads. We pay double or more, in other words.
