The answer to the question at left is that there is an entire industry that has formed over the last half century whose purpose is to sew doubt into the public mind regarding the validity of anthropogenic global warming.  In the absence of this doubt, the Earth’s citizens would be demanding a swift phase-out of the use of all fossil fuels, because the consequences of greenhouse gas emissions are so catastrophic (floods, droughts, wildfires, etc.) that the public consciousness wouldn’t insist upon a change.

What we have now is a world (at least a country, the United States) in which the more poorly educated believe what they’re told, i.e., that, where scientists can send a rocket into space and land it back on Earth on something the size of a table lamp, that anything associate with the climate is “junk” science, designed to destroy the U.S. economy.

It’s pathetic, but it’s fantastically effective.

Vermont and Florida: A Key Difference

Published

Can’t swear that the story here is authentic, but it sure rings true.

Vermont is a somewhat quirky state, but it protects its citizens very well. FWIW, this is where I want MY tax dollars going too.

Florida is a deeply red state that, true to form, wants as much ignorance as it can possibly produce. Educated people aren’t voting for people like Ron Desantis.

Republicans: Will This Work?

Published

on

The GOP is asking American voters to believe that “radical left Democrat extremists” are leading the country into socialism/communism. They’re hoping that this fear will outweigh the electorate’s understanding of the damage that Trump, with help of congressional Republicans, is inflicting on this nation in the form of the war in Iran, destroyed relations with allies, inflation, shoddy education, environmental collapse, and threats to Social Security and Medicare.

As we all know, the rate at which a lie becomes accepted as true is a function of the frequency that it is repeated.  And God knows, we see this crap about communism every time we turn around.

But this looks like an unwinnable battle.  Virtually no one wants to abandon free enterprise.  Moreover, Trump’s abysmal polling numbers reflect the fact that is largely despised as a criminal–the most corrupt figure in U.S. history.

How would you like to be campaigning to retired baby boomers on the platform that we cannot afford Social Security any longer, because we’ve siphoned off huge amounts of money, like our president’s “vanity war,” with only further downside in sight, that is costing $1 billion a day?

The SAVE Act

Published

on

It appears that there are a few Republicans who understand the SAVE Act is simply an exercise in voter suppression and thus an attempt to overturn American democracy.

We need to accept any little bit of good news where we can find it.
