Did Trump just kill Tesla?

Wednesday, January 8, 2020

Elon Musk’s car company has been subsidized by taxpayers since its beginning. Tesla is a deeply crony company. Now a key subsidy is being pulled away. (From LewRockwell) The president kiboshed a much-lobbied-for “extension” of the $7,500 kickback to electric car buyers….

The Gooferment should just be the “referee” or “night watchman”.

Subsidize NOTHING!

EVER!!!

OBG*: How independent are vaccine defenders? Vaccine-autism conflicts of interest | Sharyl Attkisson

Tuesday, January 7, 2020

Afterward, one of the vaccine industry officials mentioned, Dr. Paul Offit of Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia– who refused to provide details on his vaccine industry income and ties for the report– lashed out with false statements. Among other untrue claims, he stated that I had not asked him for information or that he had provided it. In fact, I had carefully documented my requests and his failure to provide the information.

Of course, Big Pharma will deny that vaccines are suspect.  So why does the Federal Gooferment have “vaccine damage control” program?

Are Weight-Loss Supplements Effective? | NutritionFacts.org

Are there any safe and effective dietary supplements for weight loss?

Short answer — NO!

And, another demonstration that the Gooferment is immoral, ineffective, and inefficient. As well as untrustworthy!

The FDA doesn’t stop “impure” dangerous weight loss supplements.

How about a fine that starts at a company’s profits for a year?  Second offense, two years.

I’d prefer that the Gooferment stay out of it completely and just open the courts to suit by harmed individuals.  But if must stick it’s nose in “regulation”, then make it worth the effort.

Sunday, January 5, 2020

“Metabolomics is a term used to describe the measurement of multiple small-molecule metabolites in biological specimens, including bodily fluids,” with the goal of “dentifying the molecular signatures.” For example, if we compared the metabolic profile of those with severe heart disease to those with clean arteries,

The Ethics Of A Gold Standard

Monday, December 30, 2019

Authored by Antonius Aquinas, The efficacy of a metallic monetary system is beyond dispute at least among real economists which eliminates just about 95% of whom are now engaged in the “profession.” Money, which gold is, allows for specialization, the division of labor, and provides the means for mankind to escape from barter and, thus, a primitive existence.

No doubt, I’m a “gold bug”.

I can’t imagine a football game where the definition of a yard was inconsistently lengthening.  All measures and stats would be worthless.  Designing a strategy and tactics would be a nightmare for any plan.

So too, when the there is NO uniform standard of account, store of value, or sanity, it’s an impossible situation that is doomed to collapse.

The question is does it take civilization as we know it down with it?

Solved by allowing “autonomous cars” to “platoon” together as one big one.

And, who’s pays for the eventual accidents?

The “platoon leader”?
