ECONOMICS: Are EVs the modern day Edsel?

One Third as Far
By Eric – December 17, 2023

But the answer – after much study – probably has to do with people not wanting to buy used devices that don’t go very far and take very long to get going again. Particularly because the batteries that power these devices are used. And used batteries hold less charge – on their way to holding none. Rendering the device incapable of going at all. And the cost of replacing that battery with a new one to power the inert device is not “rather competitive.”

Scientific Americans says “The impact of the used EV market can’t be understated.” And that’s certainly true – as used and unwanted and so unsellable battery powered devices with wilting batteries accumulate and languish on used car lots all around the country – alongside the brand-new EVs that are accumulating and languishing on dealership lots all around the country.

Scientific American says nothing about the potential “impact” of this on the car industry. Or on the economy – that is to say, on all the people whose livelihoods depend in one way or another on the manufacture and sale of cars – after the car industry collapses as a result of being pushed, Soviet-style, to build as many battery-powered devices as can be shipped (but not sold) as the factories can churn out.

*** end quote ***

Doesn’t make “economic” sense.  These “cars” are an ecological disaster when they are made, when they are used, and finally when they are junked.  I watch them on the road and they are “virtue signals” until they have to be plugged in.  Every once in a while, I see one with a dent and wonder when is it going to ignite.

Argh!

Turbulence Solutions to make ‘whole aviation industry turbulence-free’

  • Austrian startup Turbulence Solutions aims to eradicate turbulence for everything from light aircraft and air taxis to the largest commercial airliners.

With this in mind, the Turbulence Cancelling system could result in “up to 10 percent of fuel savings,” Galffy continued. If applied across the aviation industry, this could also lead to a significant reduction in carbon emissions.

If I was Big AirTravel, then I’d be REAL interested in the money savings.  Passenger comfort isn’t the bottom line.

GOVERNACIDE: Elite Exemptions? “Let them eat cake” time around the world!

Tuesday, December 19, 2023

BREAKING in New Zealand, FOIA request showed that 11,000 politicians and elites got COVID vaccine exemptions, did not take it; how? they knew it was NOT needed & was harmful, BUT they forced you under threat of law and arrest to take it and now you and many are vaccine injured! so how do we investigate, put into legal tribunals and take their money and imprison and HANG them if shown guilty? HANG!

Elite Exemptions: Power Over the People!  

In the current trend of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, the 1% is exempt. They are exempt from their own rules and marketing ploys. The continued facade of doing good for All, with policies, programs, and new ideations on society, only truly benefits the elite groups. Policies and programs that wind up hurting – us and helping – them. 

These kind of operations are a complete FARCE and Americans pay in every way!

New FOIA requests from New Zealand are showing the writing on the wall: The COVID-19 vaccination program exempted thousands of government officials and elites from taking them. In America, the FDA wants 55 years to process one of these requests. Please tell me WHY? In America and across the globe, they have taken life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness away from everyday citizens. They took licenses away from stellar physicians, closed small businesses, instigated riots and division, jailed people for not wearing masks and mercilessly allowed people to die. They enabled strong-armed fear tactics that promoted submission while they smiled in our faces, all the while knowing exactly what they were doing. NOT for the greater good. 

They should not be trusted.

The sheer evilness of these antics are clear as day; say and do anything to generate profit even if it completely destroys others. The unwitting and innocent lined up with absolute trust in these officials. Many corrupt spokespersons for the corrupt media. Always, always follow the money. Diversity, Equity and Inclusion aren’t part of this plan from the elitist caste system. They are of their own kind, using their homogenous class to keep us riddled with illness, fear, doubt, subservience and obedience. 

Don’t eat from their hands.

Continue to move forth in your sovereignty and empower yourself with supplies, medications, protection, and the truth.

What a coincidence?  

Sorry but there have been rumors that in the USA politicians like Old Befuddled Joe got saline injections purporting to be covid jabs.  Of course, all these reports were dismissed as “Conspiracy Theories”.  Now we have evidence that at least in New Zealand, the “elite” were exempt.  Fair to ask: who, why, and how?

Why don’t we have an equivalent disclosure in the USA?

Personally, I wouldn’t trust anyone shilling for big Pharma.  That especially include politicians, bureaucrats, and “celebrities”.  How much was Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift’s now popular beau, paid and what was he given in the advertised shot?  “Travis Kelce does vaccine ad, tells public they can get COVID, flu vaccines at same time

Inquiring minds would like to know!

Liberal San Francisco Supervisor Dean Preston blames capitalism for city’s sprawling homeless problem and says it’s ‘counterproductive’ to arrest people openly doing illegal drugs in public

  •     Supervisor Dean Preston has blamed capitalism for the city’s homeless problem

A liberal San Francisco supervisor has blamed capitalism for the city’s sprawling homeless issue and said that it’s ‘counterproductive’ to arrest people openly doing drugs in public. 

Dean Preston, the Supervisor representing District 5, has also been very open about his support for the ‘defund the police’ movement. 

‘I think we have a very, very bloated police budget. All kinds of waste in the police department. I mean, I could cut a hundred million dollars out of the police department,’ he said in a recent clip shared online from the UnHerd documentary.

*** end quote ***

What we have in California is some type of socialism or fascism; certainly NOT capitalism.

 — Inigo Montoya from the 1987 romantic comedy film The Princess Bride.

Drug prohibition is certainly not “capitalism”.  

And, “defunding the police” means let criminals run wild robbing, killing, and terrorizing “We, The Sheeple”.

Think back to the Wild West, as long as you didn’t hurt someone, you were free to pursue your destiny.  But, “An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.” — Robert A. Heinlein

“The question isn’t who is going to let me: it’s who is going to stop me.” — Ayn Rand

The political class are the “parasite class of humans” (i.e., Gooferment politicians and bureaucrats, “scientist with agendas”, “celebrities”, the corporate press, Big Pharma, Big Tech).  All belong on the scrap bin of humanity

Argh!

INSPIRATIONAL: Amazing but arduous cure for sickle cell disease

Saturday, December 16, 2023

FROM 1440 NEWS

*** begin quote ***

Sickle Cell Gene Therapy

The US Food and Drug Administration yesterday approved a pair of gene therapy treatments for sickle cell disease, a group of inherited red blood cell disorders caused by mutations in a gene that produces an oxygen-carrying protein known as hemoglobin. One of the treatments, called Casgevy, is based on breakthrough CRISPR technology—a Nobel Prize-winning gene-editing tool (see 101, w/video)—and is the first approved gene-editing therapy in the US.

Codeveloped by Vertex Pharmaceuticals and CRISPR Therapeutics, Casgevy involves harvesting cells from a patient’s bone marrow, editing the cells in a lab using CRISPR technology, and inserting the modified cells back into the patient’s body. Read one man’s account of being among the first people to experience the CRISPR-based treatment here.

The second treatment, developed by Bluebird Bio and called Lyfgenia, uses a harmless virus to introduce a gene into a patient’s body to help produce a hemoglobin substitute. Both Casgevy and Lyfgenia have been approved for people 12 years and older. 

Sickle cell disease (see overview) affects more than 100,000 Americans per year and 20 million people worldwide.

OPINION
I received the new gene-editing drug for sickle cell disease. It changed my life.

  • As a patient enrolled in a clinical trial for Vertex’s new exa-cel treatment, I was among the first to experience CRISPR’s transformative effects.

By     Jimi Olaghere

*** begin quote ***

The options for treating sickle cell disease are very limited. Denying access to such a powerful and transformative treatment based on someone’s ability to pay, or where they happen to live, strikes me as unethical. I believe patients and health-care providers everywhere deserve to know that the treatment will be available to those who need it.

*** end quote ***

Truly it was an arduous journey.

And, while it may be hard to understand, breakthroughs are expensive.  But as soon as they are made, the inventors and others work on making it available cheaply and easily.  Indoor plumbing, electric light, and automobiles quickly became available to the masses thanks to the “invisible hand” of the marketplace and the incentives af making a profit.

It would be better IMHO for him to focus on the Gooferment and its incestuous relationship with Big Pharma as the barrier to quicker progress.

New Jersey Senate panel approves penalties for underage drinkers

By: Nikita Biryukov – December 8, 2023 7:05 am

*** begin quote ***

A Senate panel approved a bill Thursday that would create new penalties for underage alcohol possession over the complaints of advocates who said the shift would send more young people into the criminal justice system.

The bill, approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee in a 9-2 vote, would subject individuals under the age of 21 found to possess alcohol to a $50 fine and a complaint summons, the equivalent of a disorderly persons offense.

Legislators who supported the bill said the change is needed to address parties in Jersey Shore towns that local officials have decried as chaotic and disruptive, and to provide some measure of enforcement for underage users who flout drinking laws.

*** end quote ***

Has anyone noticed how the drug laws are obeyed?  Remember Prohibition?  Wonder why the pot laws were changed?

Argh!

The politicians and bureaucrats in the Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerzee are examples of stupidity!
