2. I am in India hatrack

And our electricity bills have been very high for a long time now. I was very pleased when by dad thought we should get solar panels. I have been too preoccupied with too many different things to pursue it myself.

It makes so much sense for us given the blistering heat here for much of the year. But then he heard some lame crap online and changed his mind, which was very disappointing. He is fairly reasonable overall, but he detests our communist cm, as do I. I live in one of the few communist states in the world and left as I am, even I dislike our cm. He is just a sleazy mercenary anyway.

But though our cm is legitimately a corrupt creep, this is one of the rare industries (like artificial meat, marijuana, plant based foods or pharmaceuticals) even I back. I am pragmatic enough to back the few things even I need like electricity, indoor plumbing (my favorite human invention to date), modern medicine, the minimal amount of tech even I need (a computer/Mathematica/Matlab/Sigmaplot) and clean food.

I keep trying to make lists of things where I can find any common ground with…well..you know..people and society broadly..lol

It is not going well so far..the lists are very small and I frown over them trying to work out what I am missing.
