You're not completely wrong. We're watching the slow-motion transformation of both parties. The Republicans are becoming a working class, multi-racial party while the Democrats are turning into the party of rich, upper-class white people.

I'm so old I can remember when Democrats would be standing with the auto workers instead of snuggling up obscenely overpaid, incompetent Detroit executives but that's what they're doing now.

The RISC OS, specifically the "Arthur" version released in 1987, was the first to have something like the Dock. Look at the screenshot on the Wikipedia page.

Take away the subsidies and see how long that lasts. Where I live the solar panels get covered in snow every winter. Yet the power company won't even hire teenagers to clean them off. They stay that way until the snow melts generating zero watts of electricity in the meantime.

It's obvious they only find renewables valuable for the subsidies, not the energy (what there is of it) they produce.
