This from Senior Energy Analyst Glenn Doty:

One trait that is shared among almost ALL of the *PROFESSIONS* listed here is that they are all facing a labor shortage. For nursing, PA, and therapy professions, that labor shortage is so critical that it threatens the entire health care industry over the next two decades.

But the fascist trash has chosen that all of these professions should not have access to sufficient student loans that would pay for their degree.

Note that none of these professions have significant difficulty securing work or paying for their degrees (again, there are labor shortages in these degrees).

The only possible goal for such a move is to strangle the industries at large. It’s an act of sabotage: You strangle health care, and then you can restrict access to health care. You strangle engineering, and then you can justify further offshoring of all manufacturing industry… you strangle teaching, and then you can gut access to schooling opportunity.

The only goal that one could imagine from such an effort is to engineer a systemic collapse.

Very few intelligent Americans remain who can’t see that Trump is ruining our country, economically and morally.

Now, is all this damage going to take effect while Trump is still in office? Not at all. Take the effects of the tariffs?

A couple of months ago, I happened to ask a friend who had emigrated from Sweden if she was religious. “No!” she exclaimed. “Almost no one in Sweden is religious.”

As we see at left, there seems to be a huge correlation between atheism and the national level of happiness. But what causes that?

Are believers unhappy people for some reason? That doesn’t make sense.

Here’s my two-fold theory. Atheists believe:

a) That we only live once, so we try to enjoy it while we can.

And, more importantly,

b) That we need to take care of one another (since there is no God). We’re willing to make sacrifices if that means things like great education, universal healthcare, environmental responsibility, tolerable working conditions, and near-zero poverty.

From the Independent: “Trump Administration to Pay Two More Companies to Walk Away from U.S. Offshore Wind Leases”

From this article in The Independent:

The Trump administration announced two more payouts Monday for energy companies to walk away from U.S. offshore wind projects under development.

Bluepoint Wind and Golden State Wind have agreed to end their offshore wind leases in exchange for reimbursements totaling nearly $900 million. Both companies have decided not to pursue any new offshore wind projects in the United States, the Interior Department announced Monday.

Bluepoint Wind is an offshore wind project in the early stages of development off the coasts of New Jersey and New York, while Golden State Wind is a floating offshore wind project proposed off California’s central coast.

Trump is hellbent on destroying the renewable energy industry so as to benefit his billionaire friends in fossil fuels.

He’s on course to be remembered as the most destructive person in world history, with the possible exception of Adolph Hitler.

What is said here about Pete Hegseth is clearly true.

But keep in mind that he’s fiercely loyal to Donald Trump, and Trump couldn’t possibly care what happens to the United States, as long as he can stay out of prison and enrich himself and his family.
