The meme here comes from a reader. Two comments:
1) Most people regard Trump’s $4 trillion in tax cuts for the rich as a “redistribution.”
2) The U.S. is the only developed country on Earth that doesn’t offer its citizens universal healthcare and other features of democratic socialism.
Here’s a water filtration product called “Cloud.”
I would guess that most people looking for something to perform this function do not want their water cloudy.
At left is a photo of North Carolina “Moms for Liberty” chapter vice president, arrested for her involvement on January 6th.
The cartoon here illustrates why appealing to undecided voters is folly: virtually none of them exist.
Of course, it’s possible that someone right across the street from me is thinking, “OK, Trump is a sociopathic criminal who will become the first American dictator, but Harris is a Democrat. Hmmm.”
Possible, yet extremely unlikely.
The author of the meme here poses an excellent question. And at least a partial answer is this: we’re not omnipotent.
Wow. We have a choice to make here, folks.
We could fashion the future of energy and transportation around what our scientists and industry experts are saying, automakers’ strategic plans, and what eco-conscious consumers are demanding around the globe.
But what about the unsupported claims of an actor who dropped out of college (twice)? He really does have a deep voice, though.
These fellows seem fine on commanding others as to what they will do. All the while, there are things they themselves will not do: become educated, read, think for themselves, or develop compassion and empathy for others.
It’s a trade-off.
In his press conference early today, Donald Trump announced that, shortly after he was elected president in 2016, he defeated the Islamic State, aka, ISIS. I was skeptical, and, a few seconds later, after looking it up, I realized that (gasp) he was lying.
Here’s a presentation that shows the frequency and ferocity of the ISIS’ acts of terror continues undiminished to this day.
Sure would be nice to replace the lies with truth. Maybe we can accomplish this.
A reader sent me this, and remarked, “Keep your greasy little hands off our Social Security!”
Most of Donald Trump’s MO makes sense. Appeal to people’s fears, hate, and greed, while exploiting the ignorance that has crept through the American society in the decades since we began dismantling our educational system.
But certain of his actions seem counter-intuitive. I would have said it’s part of politics 101 to promise people things they hold valuable, e.g., Social Security.
Hyundai says it “is shaking up the sustainable mobility scene with its latest innovation, the Extended-Range Electric Vehicle (E-REV) concept. This new model combines battery electric vehicle (BEV) technology with a range-extending internal combustion engine (ICE), promising to solve common issues related to range and charging infrastructure.”
Folks who have been following the transition from ICE engines to battery electrics know that this was a new (and popular) concept about 10 years ago. GM had a modicum of success here with the Chevy Volt and various near-identical models they were selling in the UK, Europe, and Australia, until Tesla came along with enough range to render the subject moot.
This isn’t simply an old article; I actually don’t have a guess as to what’s going on here. It’s like seeing an announcement that reads: “Hyundai Reports: Fuel Injection Systems May Soon Replace Carburetors.”
