Absolutely absurd.
Perhaps this will lead people to find a free market solution to education.
It’s hard to believe that there is NOT a better way.

MONEY: Currency Devaluation?
Tuesday, May 11, 2021TUESDAY, MAY 4, 2021
This is How Bad Currency Devaluations Can Really Get
*** begin quote ***
Re how vicious currency devaluations can be for many people, I heard an interesting anecdote today in a podcast about a young man who escaped the horrors of North Korea. He described in excruciating detail the various ways that the communist regime savaged the common man/woman there.
Almost in passing, the young man mentioned “did you hear about the currency devaluation that occurred in North Korea in 2010.” (It caused him to be homeless again.) He said that it, “killed thousands of people because the money that people had been saving became worthless.”
He added, “a lot of our neighbors committed suicide. It was like one day they had something and another day they have nothing. And they have no hope of living.”
*** end quote ***
Once upon a time, before I was old enough to get a job that paid real money, I had the childhood dream that “Monopoly money would become REAL money.” Sigh, the child’s fantasies, have sort of become true. The “REAL” money of my youth has become almost as worthless as Monopoly money.
The dollar of the 1960’s has lost NINETY SOMETHING per cent of it’s purchasing power.
Using the “penny candy” standard, it’s a 100%.
Using the “quarter a gallon of gas” standard, (a silver quarter is worth about five 2021’s “dollars”; 5 2021’s “dollars will buy you 2.78 gallons; a 2021 quarter “slug” will buy you about 0.14 of a gallon; that about 0.05 of value) it’s about 95%.
Using the “Kendall Park ranch house” standard, (a 35k$ house now sells for about 325k$; or about 9 times it’s nominal value) it’s about 92%.
Pick the number you like best to describe the “devaluation”!
The Gooferment might as well devalue. “We, The Sheeple” are already screwed.

New Zealand trying to eradicate hedgehog ‘killing machines’
By Paula Froelich
*** begin quote ***
New Zealand is now trying to eradicate the animals by 2050, by way of trapping, hunting, and poisoning them — a plan that is despised by some locals due to the “cuteness” of the animals.
Foster told the Guardian there is “a bit of a psychological barrier” when it comes to hedgehog eradication. “It has been proposed to ship them all back to the UK. European hedgehogs aren’t doing so well in Europe. Still in good numbers, but they are declining.”

Not that easy to undo the mistakes of the past?

INNOVATION: Does an EV owner either stuck with it or returned to gas?
Monday, May 10, 2021https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/ev-owners-switch-gas-power-study/#ftag=CAD590a51e
Surprising number of EV owners switch back to gas power, study says
The study looked at owners in California specifically and found home charging was a huge factor in people dropping the EV lifestyle.
Sean Szymkowski

*** begin quote ***
As so much of the world works to pivot away from fossil fuels and the internal-combustion engine, a new study from the University of California, Davis, published in the journal Nature Energy last week, showed some concerning signs for what the auto industry still needs to get right. According to this study, which looked at California EV owners specifically between 2015-2019, 18% of electric vehicle owners switched back to a gas-powered car. For plug-in hybrid owners, 20% of them flipped back to a car solely powered by an engine.
The major takeaway from the EV flip-flopping lands in the lap of charging — specifically at-home charging. The lack of reliable Level 2 charging at home (that’s a 240-volt plug) was a major factor leading to EV “discontinuance,” as the researchers called it. That makes sense. If you don’t have a place to charge reliably, it makes it a lot harder to enjoy the benefits associated with an EV, including an overall lower cost of ownership. Public charging infrastructure remains just OK, with many stations down for maintenance, or simply not close enough to drivers, even in California, where chargers are more common than the rest of the US. And charging times at a public station still aren’t on par with gassing up a car.
According to the research, about half of the respondents who bought another EV had access to Level 2 charging, compared to the 30% who dumped the electric lifestyle, but had a proper plug at home. The research found owners were 53% less likely to buy another EV if they did not have access to convenient, at-home charging. Essentially, it was a coin toss over whether an EV owner either stuck with it or returned to gas pumps.

It’s hard to imagine without HUGE tax subsidies, a major oil disruption, or a Gooferment diktat, that “We, The Sheeple” will give up the cheap reliable option of a gas powered car.

TINFOILHAT: The WuFlu came from that lab and the USA paid to support it
Monday, May 10, 2021Don’t Try to Tell Me the Wuhan Virus Didn’t Come from a Wuhan Lab
Rebecca Downs
Posted: May 07, 2021 7:05 PM
*** begin quote ***
It was February 2020 when a friend of mine who is from that part of the world and who would know, shared with me the likelihood that the Wuhan virus came from a Wuhan lab. It made sense to me. Fast forward nearly a year and a half later, I’m even more so convinced of the likelihood, and I am suspicious of anyone who says otherwise. To their credit, the Washington Examiner on Friday reported extensively on this issue, in multiple pieces, featuring those who are asking the right questions.

One can only hope that someone is he’d accountable!

TECHNOLOGY: Yet Another “technology” abuse, hack, or immorality?
Sunday, May 9, 2021“Wise guy figures out a way to park free on college campus but it’s kind of a d-ck move.” In short: guy buys a fake charger plug to make his Jeep look like an EV to get free parking. It’s sadly a total d-ck move because he’s leaving EV owners without a charger, but …I offer a respectful nod at the hustle (Jalopnik).

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: No “whites” need apply?
Sunday, May 9, 2021Wisconsin dairy farmer with two prosthetic legs sues Biden administration over ‘racist’ COVID relief plan that disqualifies him because he is white
- Adam Faust is a plaintiff in the suit filed in federal court in Green Bay last week
- At issue is loan forgiveness program in Biden’s COVID-19 stimulus package
- Non-white farmers are eligible for the program, but white farmers are not
- Faust, who has two prosthetic legs, argues that the program is racist
By KEITH GRIFFITH FOR DAILYMAIL.COM and ASSOCIATED PRESS
PUBLISHED: 02:09 EDT, 6 May 2021 | UPDATED: 13:03 EDT, 6 May 2021
*** begin quote ***
The group of plaintiffs joining the lawsuit to challenge the program includes farmers from Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota and Ohio.
The suit contends that excluding white farmers from the program amounts to a violation of the plaintiffs’ constitutional rights.
‘Were plaintiffs eligible for the loan forgiveness benefit, they would have the opportunity to make additional investments in their property, expand their farms, purchase equipment and supplies, and otherwise support their families and local communities,’ the lawsuit said.
‘Because plaintiffs are ineligible to even apply for the program solely due to their race, they have been denied the equal protection of the law and therefore suffered harm.’
The U.S. Department of Agriculture issued a statement saying it was reviewing the lawsuit with the U.S. Department of Justice, but that the USDA plans to continue to offer loan forgiveness to ‘socially disadvantaged’ farmers.

What genius came up with this one?
Should be struck down immediately.
And, everyone connected with it should be fired!

TECHNOLOGY: WHAT3WORDS may not be suitable for the task? NOT-RECOMMENDED!
Saturday, May 8, 2021What3Words Sends Legal Threat To a Security Researcher For Sharing an Open-Source Alternative (techcrunch.com) 133
Posted by msmash on Monday May 03, 2021 @11:38AM from the how-about-that dept.
*** begin quote ***
A U.K. company behind digital addressing system What3Words has sent a legal threat to a security researcher for offering to share an open-source software project with other researchers, which What3Words claims violate its copyright.
*** and ***
But security researcher Andrew Tierney recently discovered that What3Words would sometimes have two similarly-named squares less than a mile apart, potentially causing confusion about a person’s true whereabouts. In a later write-up, Tierney said What3Words was not adequate for use in safety-critical cases.

What3Words Sends Ridiculous Legal Threat To Security Researcher Over Open Source Alternative
(Mis)Uses of Technology
from the never-use-what3words dept
Mon, May 3rd 2021 10:47am — Mike Masnick
*** begin quote ***
The only proper response to this is never, ever use What3Words for anything that matters. Beyond not giving in to censorial, abusive bullies, their legal reaction to a security researcher doing reverse engineering work to help find potentially dangerous problems with What3Words screams loudly to the world that What3Words has no confidence that it’s products are safe. They’re scared to death of security researchers being able to really test their work.
Both of these reasons means that What3Words should be remembered as little more than a failed.dumpster.fire rather than the cool.mapping.idea it could have been.

On this date in 1794, French scientist Antoine Laurent Lavoisier was guillotined in Paris for “adding water to the people’s tobacco.

Lavoisier’s appeal for a stay of execution to complete some experiments met a brusque refusal from the people’s tribunal: “The Republic has no need for scientists.”
