Question 14



Question 14

'Tax the Rich' is reasonable in the way Willie Sutton robbed banks: that's where the money is. It isn't moral, it's practical. The poor don't have money to take. The point is that the hierarchy wants money; you can gussy that up in any way you want.

How did the administration avoid 'Wynkyn, Blinkin and Nod?'

“If they’ll not help, if these governors won’t help us beat the pandemic, I’ll use my power as president to get them out of the way,” Biden said. So the elected state officials are in the way?

Somehow Biden presented the vaccination program in a political light, as if Trump voters are the vaccine resisters or Covid victims were giving their voting records in the ER. They look like partisan hacks trying to take advantage of a problem when they should be solving t. How could they have thought that would be a good approach?

Does the president have the power to unilaterally compel millions of private-sector workers to get vaccinated or risk losing their jobs?

"We need to start looking at the choice to remain unvaccinated the same as we look at driving while intoxicated,” said Washington Post columnist, and CNN “analyst,” Leana Wen. But the risk of not being vaccinated is to the unvaccinated, himself. And other unvaccinated. So...?


Supreme Court Justice Amy Barrett said, "My goal today is to convince you that this court is not comprised of a bunch of partisan hacks." Do you remember when Nixon said, "I am not a crook?"


Fifty-seven percent (57%) of Democratic voters believe supporters of Donald Trump are a serious threat to the nation. A Scott Rasmussen national survey found that 56% of those in President Biden’s party also consider the unvaccinated a serious threat. That’s a higher level of concern than Democrats express about the Taliban (44% see it as a serious threat); China (44%), or Russia (37%). So, we're afraid of ourselves?

Richard Ebright, the board of governors professor of chemistry and chemical biology at Rutgers University and laboratory director at the Waksman Institute of Microbiology, told Newsweek documents show "unequivocally" that NIH grants were used to fund controversial gain-of-function (GOF) research at the Wuhan Insitute of Virology in China—something U.S. infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci has denied. So where in the hierarchy of threats to humanity would you place these people? Above or below global warming?

How do so many in a country with seemingly well-educated people act so irrationally, against their own interest, against science, and against the lessons of history?

And, as we take things less and less seriously, here's Kardashian with a fashion non-statement at the Met Gala:


Is this nihilism or just stupid?


Does the prominence of female teachers make schools intolerant of male behavior?
Maybe not. Maybe we are agreeing to live with nonsense and young boys are not socialized enough to recognize the social flow. Here is a course at Yale Medical School: “The Psychopathic Problem of the White Mind.” 
How insulated and close-minded must that community be?

An Ohio school district provided writing prompts for writing assignments including, “write a sex scene you wouldn’t show your mom,” and “rewrite the sex scene from above into one that you’d let your mom read.” Confidence is rampant, especially among the unproven. So school has teaching programs they want to hide from their employers?

Electricity prices in the U.K. this week jumped to a record £354 ($490) per megawatt-hour, a 700% increase from the 2010 to 2020 average. Germany’s electricity benchmark has doubled this year. Governments have heavily subsidized renewables like wind and solar and shut down coal plants to meet their commitments under the Paris climate accord. But wind power this summer has flagged, so countries are scrambling to import more fossil fuels to power their grids. European natural-gas spot prices have increased five-fold in the last year. (WSJ)
Do politicians not know that if you substitute expensive and unreliable products for cheap products, prices go up?

John, you're gonna love this:
AOC is investing heavily in her online store, selling T-shirts, sweatshirts and other merchandise with her name, "AOC" initials or slogans including "Tax the Rich" and "Fight for our Future," efforts aimed at both fundraising and building the second-term lawmaker's profile nationally.
Her campaign paid political merchandise firm Financial Innovations, which operates her online store and supplies merchandise, more than $1.4 million in the first six months of 2021, according to campaign disclosures to the Federal Election Commission late last week.
So, capitalism to sell socialism?

This is a pretty shocking bar graph:

...


Cold kills a lot more people than heat.


Wait. Not only is the modern drive for less carbon more expensive and damaging to the economy, but it is more dangerous to the elderly?

Los Angeles had a West Nile virus death. Does the news think you are getting too comfortable?

Kane, I’m up to date on my vaccinations. I’d like to point out that Anthony Fauci was never elected to anything.

AOC is merely another crock.
