Heat pumps installations are a racket out in the US right now, it's artificial expense to pad out pockets, there is no practical reason it need be that expensive.

I requested taking ownership of !mealtimevideos@lemmy.world a few months ago. Posting a request in this support forum is hit or miss, but sending an email to info@mastodon.world (to create a support ticket, as it says in the sidebar) about it got a response from an admin quite quickly, so I'd recommend that route.

Ahh, I forgot that Chomsky took that stance. I generally liked his opinions on things, but as he's gotten older, his views have gone a bit odd.

Looking into it a bit further, I was surprised to see the DSA officially doesn't support sending arms to Ukraine (though the DSA members in congress do support it). I get that they're anti-war, and don't want to support the military industrial complex any further, but at least in this specific case, it seems shortsighted of them.

I stand corrected.

From what I've seen, at least in the US, it's mostly conservatives that bring up those arguments to cease support, seemingly stemming from the whole "Zelensky didn't get dirt on Biden for Trump, so he's evil and corrupt!" thing. I don't know if it's different elsewhere.
