It’s probably a bit too soon to have useable statistics on this subject, but it’s certainly not too early to apply some common sense.
There are two factors at play here:
1) America is broadly regarded as a rogue country. Do you want to visit North Korea? Do Canadians want to spend money in a country that wants to annex them?
2) America is now understood to be unsafe. Do you want to visit Palestine? Ukraine? Iran?
What black conservative/libertarian Thomas Sowell offers here is one theory.
Another is even simpler. In this country, people of color face the results of centuries of oppression. Our educational system, funded as it is by property taxes, greatly favors the rich, where kids grow up in expensive houses. On average, the net worth of a white family is 11 times that of a black family.
Efforts to rectify this, I would argue, are morally good.
Stalin’s show trials, notably from 1936 to 1938, were highly staged propaganda spectacles designed to terrify the Soviet population into submission by fabricating conspiracies and forcing confessions through torture.
The primary aim was to create a climate of fear, ensuring citizens, especially party members, were too terrified to oppose Stalin’s regime.
As previously discussed, one of the most important features of the renewable energy industry is that it has winnowed out certain technologies while focusing on others. “The winners have won and the losers have lost,” as I like to say.
All we’re really left with is solar PV and large-scale (onshore and offshore) wind.
The concept at left appeared to hold potential when I became interested in the subject 17 years ago. At the time, there were several different designs for these kites, but none proved to be cost-effective.
Is China really testing this? Of course not.
There is a great deal of well-founded concern in the United States that we the people are slowly being boiled like the proverbial frog.
I support her in the sense that she’s an extremely polished liar, and that’s an absolute requirement for a Trump spokesperson.
I could practice 10 hours a day for 20 years and not develop that ability.
As shown at left, this concept has been around a long time.
It tends to apply to educated progressives, rather than the MAGA crowd.
Virtually all our property taxes are used to fund public education.
Now, let’s ponder this for a second …. is there a political party that stands to gain from reducing the quality of American education? That does well in proportion to public ignorance and the lack of capacity of the electorate to think critically, and separating pure BS from truth?
Hmmm.
Educated people tend to reject racism and other hateful ideologies. They tend to accept the findings of science.
Which party benefits from a society of people who can’t think for themselves?
Hmmm.
Here at 2Greenenergy, we often muse, “How stupid do you have to be to believe that?”
In this case, you have to accept that the 63 state and federal courts that found no credible evidence of voter fraud were all corrupt, and that Trump has compelling evidence on the subject that, for some reason, he can’t release to the public.
That’s one for the ages.
Vance has certain qualifications that appeal to the MAGA crowd, e.g., his seething racist hatred, dishonesty, cruelty, anti-science, anti-woke, anti-human rights, anti-education, and anti-environmental responsibility.
Whether he’ll be as appealing as Trump to the amoral billionaires remains to be seen.
