Spin Zone / Re: Six-Month Federal Budget Deficit: $1.1 Trillion
« on: April 14, 2024, 01:18:17 PM »
Politicians, especially the career type politicians depend upon the low information voter types to keep them in office. These people vote almost on name recognition alone, and have no interest in government or politics. They are easily influenced by the propaganda news outlets.
Congress has done more damage to our country than any other branch of government, hands down.

Joe cracks me up. “Solar is a bad word because liberals like it.” Hahahaha!
First, solar is not a bad word. It works great for guys in off-grid settings who don’t have huge household power needs.
I’m in a sunny part of our state, and even with rooftops covered with solar panels people can’t run their homes with the power produced, much less charge their cars. The solar panel homeowners sell the trickle of power to the utility company to put in the grid and then sell back to them.
We know a guy who spent $28,000 to put up the panels. Later he had to move, so never realized that investment in any sort of payback. Plus, complaints are being lodged right and left against the solar panel installers. They’re grifters to a high degree. Reports of damage to roofs and failures to meet promised commitments for repairs and maintenance are common. Access to state and local government energy “rebates” and “incentives” is as tempting to grifters as all the other government largesse schemes. The companies set up in storefronts, make their killings, and vanish. And we the taxpayers and rate payers fund the government participation in this. So.
Have you ever seen the photos of massive solar farms demolished by hailstorms? Have you ever seen a solar panel boneyard? What are the panels made of, and how does their decomposition affect the earth and water?
Joe will say solar is a young industry and has great potential. True. He also doesn’t believe in mandates by stupid, invasive and controlling government entities. Great! Trouble is, our idiot governor has decreed that $89 million will be used to build EV chargers throughout the state. A state with grid problems. The same governor is banning use of natural gas for heating and cooking. He also is trying to eliminate ICE vehicles any way he can. And we’re back where we started. Funneling everyone onto one source of energy, thus creating energy insecurity.
Multiple sources, strong sources, recoverable and sustainable sources. Without a variety of ways to produce and access energy, we are weakened.

The EV crowd can’t allow the truth about the false god they worship to impede the leftist agenda and the crowd of useful idiots line up too babble the party line without a shred of honesty, integrity, or intelligence.
When you examine how much energy is wasted in the manufacture of EV’s and the ecological damage their creation causes, you begin to understand how fake the idiot environmental mental cases have become.

« on: April 11, 2024, 07:26:49 AM »There is no "yet". You're NEVER going to have charging stations on street, nor in apartment complexes parking lots for every space. Also, building power plants and distribution takes decades or longer IF it ever happens. So still B.S.You under estimate the power of Governments to mandate things.
Where do the minerals for batteries come from? They're not here, domestically. Where are most batteries and electric car parts made? CHINA. EVs are the biggest joke since the Covid response.
Of course the two closet Leftists still push for EVs. GMAFB.

Y'all don't get it. You are not supposed to be driving. You are supposed to be on the bus and the train. No worries about chargers and batteries.

No one said that. That is what people say when they want to quiet what they do not like hearing.

It might be time to double-down. ^DJT is around $50 right now, but there is going to be a lot of volatility with this stock. Disappointing earnings just came out and mot people sell on news. It'll probably go down more before popping but trying to call the bottom (or top) is a crap shoot. Best bet is to go with your gut for the long term.
I’m just doing it for the adrenaline rush of the roller coaster ride.

Spin Zone / DeSantis is out of GOP
« on: April 01, 2024, 05:27:07 AM »Quote
TALLAHASSEE, FL — The political landscape was rocked to its core today, with reverberations sure to be felt for several years, as Governor Ron DeSantis was kicked out of the Republican Party for accomplishing too many things.https://babylonbee.com/news/desantis-kicked-out-of-republican-party-for-accomplishing-too-many-things
The move was announced after careful deliberation by the Republican National Committee in coordination with top GOP leaders at all levels of government, with decision-makers citing DeSantis's ongoing tendency to get things done as evidence he does not belong with the party.
