This from a reader.  My response:

Well, I appreciate your bravado, but I question your understanding of the magnitude of the power that the U.S. federal government has over the common American.  Unless we make major changes quickly, you will live in a country that has:

• Committed to make rich people richer and poor people poorer, by looting the treasury to provide billionaires with ever larger tax advantages.

• Rejected science as the pillar in policymaking.

• Abandoned any pretense it may have had towards environmental responsibility.

• Sent women back to positions of inferiority.

I’m not saying that there is nothing you can do about this, but denial isn’t a road to a solution.

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.

The Tragedy of U.S. Healthcare

There must be a reason that our life expectancy here in the United States is slipping, while people in other countries in the developed world are living longer, healthier lives.

Is it that, on average, 12 children and shot and killed, and another 26 are injured, each day in the United States? No, but that is a contributing factor.

It’s largely that healthcare is made available to Americans only of the basis of profitability for the insurance companies.

From Cornell University:

In an oft-cited study, as many as 66.5% of people who file for bankruptcy blame medical bills as the primary cause. As many as 550,000 people file for bankruptcy each year for this reason. This data has been known for many years and has continued even with the passage of the Affordable Care Act.
