When Governor Healey was recently asked a question about offshore wind, her first answer wasn’t affordability or reliability. It was jobs and billions in sunk costs. Are ratepayers being crushed by soaring energy bills to fund an out-of-control make-work jobs program?

This woman is an imbecile! We are funding a green energy policy that is financially taxing the citizens of Massachusetts and will for many years. In the end we might generate 5% of the power we need.

Wind energy will NEVER pay for itself let alone turn a profit or lower costs, and the state will never be able to maintain the maintenance and operation costs to keep them working. It's all about political payoffs and campaign donations.

Yes,the argument migrated from endless ‘free’ energy to a jobs initiative because offshore wind is a destructive environmental menace with no redeeming energy effects.

Maura Healy is a "whale killing bastard" who as attorney general defended the fishing industry in federal court when it was being prosecuted for killing endangered whales in violation of the Endangered Species Act.

Massachusetts governments, state, county and municipal, have and will always be primarily be in place to fund out-of-control make-work jobs programs. And remember, with the jobs comes the pensions with the associated unfunded liabilities needing to be covered by taxpayers.

In 1997, a developer publicly humiliated Steve Jobs in front of a packed room. Jobs had just returned to Apple after 11 years away. Instead of fighting back, he admitted the guy was partly right — then explained the principle he believed could turn Apple into an $8–10 billion-a-year business. And his answer had almost nothing to do with technology. Most companies, Jobs explained, work backwards. They build something technically impressive, fall in love with what they created, and only then ask how they are going to sell it. He had made that mistake himself so many times that he said he had the “scar tissue” to prove it. His rule was the opposite: start with the customer experience and work backwards to the technology. Jobs used the LaserWriter as an example. Inside the printer were a Canon laser engine, an Apple-designed controller, Adobe PostScript and AppleTalk. It was an extraordinary piece of engineering, but none of that was the reason he believed people would buy it. When the first page came out, Jobs looked at it and realized they didn't need to explain what was inside the machine. They could simply hold up the result and ask one question: Do you want this? That was the entire point. Customers don't pay you for how difficult your product was to build. They pay for what it does for them. A developer tried to expose what Steve Jobs didn't know about technology. Jobs responded by explaining something far more valuable about business.

Why can’t politicians just answer simple questions about their job? Sophy Ridge asked Defence Secretary Wes Streeting a straightforward question he should have been ready for. You’d expect the person in charge of defence to have a clear position on the spending target for his own department, yet he repeatedly dodged it. She asked if he agreed with his predecessor John Healey, who said he was certain Britain should reach 3% of GDP on defence by 2030: “Are you also certain about 3% of GDP by 2030? Is that a target?” Streeting: “I endorsed John Healey’s resignation letter wholeheartedly at the time. What you will see from Andy Burnham and John Healey as prime minister and chancellor is a commitment to make sure the defence investment plan is fully funded.” That’s not an answer. Sophy cut in: “I’m going to have to come in again. You are the Defence Secretary, do you believe in the target of spending 3% of GDP on defence by 2030?” He again referred back to agreeing with Healey and then talked at length about setting out “what we will fund and how we will fund it.” Still no direct answer. Clearly frustrated, Sophy tried once more: “I’m not asking you to set out how you’re going to fund it. I’m asking, do you believe in the target that we should be spending 3% by 2030?” His reply? He wouldn’t answer because the next question would be about how to fund it. That is a ridiculous reason to refuse a basic question about your own brief. Just answer it. Absolutely pathetic.
