Agreed, but with the way gummint tends to hold onto things past their usefulness date, we would probably still have the same ones. I'm pretty sure modern solar panels are much more efficient. So we either install new ones when a more intelligent person is President, or we paint 'em gold and slap 'em on the top and sides of the new ballroom. Easy to convince His Orangeitude they were his idea.
Oh yeah, I vaguely remember that one. I guess Reagan was only better than Trump because most of the government was still kinda OK when he started fucking it up.
Yeah, and You know how Reagan's policies are still fucking shit up 40 years later? How long will Trump's fuckups be felt. The next 4 or 5 generations are already fucked.

Right now, there are none though. And significantly fewer plants too.

They were water heating panels, not pv.

That's what I vaguely remembered but it's been a few regimes and I'm old. As would they be if still in place.

I wouldn't be opposed to the Dems winning the next election but yeah, it wouldn't change much. Something more fundamental is required.

Well good news. That won't be happening. Once you go bad enough and people lose confidence in the farce that is government, a new one must be made.

True. I'm no history buff, but I think it usually requires things to first get even worse, like a war or a revolution, before it gets better.

Reagan was the devil, but since he was an actor he could pretend to be the nation's loving grandpa.
Acting!

Ah yes, Regan: fucking up everything he could.
Many problems today come from his time as president, and many Republicans hail him as the best president (except for the orange traitor, of course).
Sometimes I wonder if the Republican politicians are 100% made up of psychopaths...
