  1. Is this a new phenomenon? Wasn’t this the case five years ago? The Fed has done what it can through monetary policy the problem lies in fiscal policy and the Democrats profligate deficit spending.
  2. Biden’s staff tried to give KJP the boot for being terrible at her job and failed. They should have known better as she has triple DEI super powers of being female, black and gay.
  3. “Four more years…pause” Yes folks he actually read the directions on the teleprompter. He also committed to a debate with Trump, something his handlers will surely walk back.
  4. Well educate me professor, just what is the cause of the persistent inflation the US is now experiencing? (I’m going to guess you will go with the “greedy corporations” trope).
  5. Higher than the Euro zone and China. When you say “ well we are better than Afghanistan, Venezuela and Russia, it reveals the weakness of your position. My point, that you are all dodging, is you can no longer blame supply chain bottlenecks for inflation.
  6. Why aren’t prices going down? Could it be the persistent inflation is a function of the Democrat’s money party and not supply chain issues?
  7. And yet we are spending trillions on a path to nowhere. One must ask oneself who will benefit from this futile endeavor? The answer is the friends and cronies of those pushing this agenda. Michael Mann went from a low-level meteorologist to a multimillionaire celebrity once he concocted the “hockey stick,” which has subsequently been rejected as junk science. However, once the gravy train started rolling, more and more hopped on board and now everyone from politics to media to academia is now feeding at the trough of climate alarmism. Anyone who can not see this is either naive, stupid or in on it.
  8. Yes, just how would you go about destroying the worlds economy?
  9. I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken
  10. Imagine you are the emperor of the planet and your task is to reduce global crime. You will not make a dent by over policing Switzerland while ignoring Haiti. The U.N. Says we need to achieve Net Zero by 2050. With China and India building hundreds of coal plants, with a lifespan of 40 to 50 years, it ain’t going to happen.
  11. PA closes one coal plant per year (average) meanwhile China builds two coal plants per week and India is not far behind.
  12. It won’t even begin until the growth of renewables outpace growth in demand which is projected to explode. From Newsmax “According to estimates in The Wall Street Journal, data centers which accounted for about 2.5% of U.S. electricity in 2022 are projected to consume more than 20% by 2030. That power is needed around-the-clock 24/7, competing with nighttime EV recharging demands, particularly when there is no sunlight, and the wind isn’t blowing. AEP Ohio warns that new data centers and Intel’s planned $20 billion chip plant will strain its grid as well because chip factories and data centers can consume 100 times more power than typical businesses.”
  13. “Energy transition not happening”
  14. From Hydroreview.com 4/8/24 “The world is burning more fossil fuels than ever before, global energy-related emissions are increasing, and ever-growing energy demand is not being fully met by renewables” If renewables can’t even keep pace with the growth in demand, they sure as hell won’t be able replace fossil fuels in time to “save the planet” You guys must live in the land of Magical Thinking.
  15. Let me bring you up to speed… Energy transition, not happening EV transition, not happening End of the world from climate change, not happening. How is that?
  16. 147.05 USD-101.37 (-40.81%)year to date Closed: Apr 19, 7:59 PM EDT • Disclaimer
  17. “In February 2024, the electric vehicle (EV) producer reduced its salaried workforce by 10%. Yesterday, it announced plans to lay off even more workers.” I guess they are giving them a rest before the inevitable massive transition to EV.
  18. Well when one side says the glaciers in Glacier National Park will be gone by 2020 and the other side says they won’t….2020 comes and goes and the glaciers are still there…it kinda does.
  19. Voyager 1, 47 years and counting
  20. Trump tax cuts expire, child tax credit ends, rental properties fully depreciate…Doesn’t seem like a stretch.
  21. “The decline in EV sales in the market was particularly pronounced among European automakers, as reported by data from the KBA, Germany’s federal motor transport authority. Citroen, Jaguar, Polestar, and Volkswagen all saw a 30 percent reduction in EV sales in Q1 2024 compared to the previous year. Meanwhile, Porsche, Peugeot, Mini, Fiat, and DS experienced even larger contractions, with reductions exceeding 40 percent.” From Carscoops.com
