@ConceptualJames

They're pushing the "Tennessee Three" so we'll all forget about the Nashville Six and why any of this is happening at all.

 

Remember the Nashville Six.

‘Twitter Files’ Journalist Quits Twitter After Elon Musk Places Restrictions On Substack

 

Matt Taibbi, a journalist who worked on the “Twitter Files” series of articles about old business decisions at Twitter, has said he’ll no longer use the social media platform. Taibbi is apparently frustrated by Twitter’s recent decision to heavily restrict all links and tweets about Substack following that company’s announcement it would be launching Substack Notes, a short form social network and potential competitor to Twitter.

 

Any Twitter user who even tries to retweet a post from Substack is met with a notification, “some actions on this Tweet have been disabled by Twitter,” a move that has angered many users, including Taibbi.

 

“Earlier this afternoon, I learned Substack links were being blocked on Twitter. Since being able to share my articles is a primary reason I use Twitter, I was alarmed and asked what was going on,” Taibbi wrote at his Substack on Friday afternoon….

Josh Webb & Josiah Neeley: Legislation will push cost of utility projects higher

April 7, 2023

 

The recent passage of the federal Inflation Reduction Act will spur a transmission building bonanza as billions of dollars are spent connecting power plants and cities across the country.

 

If a bill recently introduced in the Indiana Legislature becomes law, however, Hoosiers could be paying far more for these projects than necessary.

 

The legislation would grant electric utilities a “right of first refusal” to build, own and operate new transmission lines in their service area, preventing projects from being competitively bid by other energy companies.

 

The bill would eliminate a key element of competition from the current transmission planning process and effectively create a monopoly, to the detriment of Indiana consumers.

 

In the case of transmission lines, competition does not mean multiple sets of wires and poles running alongside one another. Rather, projects can be bid with a variety of companies allowed to compete for the right to build, own and operate the project.

 

In fact, research shows competition can reduce the cost of new transmission projects 20% to 30%. As an example, consider a group of recently approved transmission projects for the Midcontinent Independent System Operator, which is the regional transmission organization for much of the Midwest, including Indiana….

Musk is going to completely destroy his reputation (and what's left of Twitter's credibility) if he allows the ban on substack links to stand.

Amazon did something similar when it created Createspace. Publishers printing their books at other printers suddenly found their books available in 2-3 weeks instead of 2 days. Besides which, Createspace is a crap printer compared to pro companies like Ingram.
