Questions 69


Questions 69

Biden has brought pressure against Russia's ability to borrow. Those restrictions have already been placed on U.S. banks regarding American oil projects.
It will take a while to bring oil production up to speed. Will we allow it? The logic is undeniable, the objections are a matter of Climate Faith. Oil has been the bad guy in politics and the press for a long time. It would take a real moment of humility for these people to allow oil to rescue us. And these people are not big on humility.

Al Gore is back, calling attention to himself. Is the fact he is starting a Green fund just a coincidence?

Seattle announced a $2 million plan Wednesday to address what Mayor Bruce Harrell described as a critical shortage of police officers in the city.
It includes recruitment bonuses, reimbursement for moving costs and possible tuition assistance.
The city has lost more than 400 police officers over the past 2 ½ years, which Harrell's office said has led to the point "where essential services cannot be delivered promptly and effectively."
The plan notes that, as of May, the number of trained and deployable officers in Seattle is at its lowest in more than three decades — just 954 — and that the department has been unable to meet annual recruiting goals in recent years.

Celebrities and climate ministers continue to enjoy their fabulous lifestyles in plain view, confident in the cardinal rule of all environmentalism: one’s own activities are always important enough to be exempt from any environmental limits. Only the other person should have to sacrifice.--MacDonald. 
Does this two-tier legal system sound familiar?

The Left and the Enemy:
During the winter of 2021, journalist Virginia Heffernan sheltered from COVID in her upstate New York getaway. After a heavy snow, she was astonished when her Trump-supporting neighbor plowed her driveway. One could conclude that her neighbor saw an unprepared individual in need and acted with decency and kindness.
In her opinion essay for the Los Angeles Times, Heffernan revealed her tribal thinking as she weighed whether to offer thanks to her neighbor. After alluding to the Nazi occupation of France and Hezbollah’s policy of giving out free things in Lebanon, Heffernan concluded she could not give her neighbor “absolution.” She wrote, “Free driveway work, as nice as it is, is just not the same currency as justice and truth.” --Brownstein
