America’s political sensibilities are moving to the right, along with many other counties like Hungary, Turkey, Italy, Slovakia, Croatia and the Czech Republic, and that’s sad, but it’s a choice that the people of the United States are free to make. My problem isn’t so much that we’re surrounded by a growing number of poorly educated racists, but that, in addition to the “contemptible fools,” to quote Elon Musk, we live among a much smaller group of billionaires who couldn’t care less about the well-being of the common American, much less the environment, and are dominating public policy in Washington.

Worst of all, Donald Trump, a convicted felon, adjudicated sex abuser, and indicted traitor to his country, is at the heart of this transition.  I think many people, myself included, would be better able to deal with this if a criminal sociopath weren’t at the movement’s very core.

Marc Andreessen, who’s been at the forefront of the tech industry since the dawn of the Internet 30 years ago, donated $4.5 million to Trump’s campaign, and in the video below he explains why.

Examining the Concept of “Generational Wealth”

Published

From the advertiser:
Did you know that direct investment in oil and gas not only delivers the potential for high cash flow but also offers some of the most significant tax advantages available to investors today?
Thanks to powerful deductions like 90% first-year write-off of Intangible Drilling Costs (IDCs) and ongoing depletion allowances, these opportunities can meaningfully reduce your taxable income in the year of investment and beyond.
Add to that the ability to receive monthly cash flow and enjoy direct ownership in American oil, and you’re looking at an asset class with the potential to build real, generational wealth.
Great news! Don’t miss out on this opportunity to be a part of the destruction of our Earth.
Seriously, who wants “generational wealth” on a planet that is losing its capacity to support life with each passing generation? Does anyone think that future generations are going to thank us for ruining our only home?
Yes, the Trump administration has made it easier to generate profits for the fossil fuel industry by eliminating the incentives for solar and wind, while opening up vast amounts of wilderness to oil and gas extraction.  Do you really want to be a part of this?

No Decent American Wants to Hear Our President Refer to the People of Other Countries as “Garbage”

I believe the subject matter of the video here will ultimately play a large contributing factor to bringing down Trump.  His referring to Somalis as “garbage” and his doubling down on it here is abhorrent to most Americans.

Yes, his racist MAGA base is cheering him on for his demonization of people from a poor country with black skin, but most Americans can see that this comes directly from the is the playbook of all fascist leaders.

Concept in Small Wind

Published

on

Here’s a concept in small wind for readers to check out. A few points:

It’s not new.  A few years ago, there was a nearly identical idea that came and went, when investors came to understand that this concept, as all the others, were dead in the water.

They have an “axial flux generator.”  Really?  Having we all seen “Back to the Future?” Making up technobabble like the “flux capacitor” gets laughs, but that’s about it.

The fact that climate change poses a huge threat doesn’t mean that every yo-yo idea in renewable energy makes sense.

There is a reason, based on physics, that vertical axis wind turbines are not competitive with their horizontal counterparts and do not exist in the enormous industry of wind energy.

The wind conditions on our roofs are impeded by trees and neighboring buildings.  That’s the reason that wind farms are located in remote areas with incredible wind resources.  No one would like to live in a place like Tehachapi, California with gale-force winds.

The spokesperson’s idea that he’s raising investor capital to engineer the product because “you to have the recipe before you bake the cookies” is catchy, but this is a recipe that clearly cannot exist.
