If you know what’s good for you, you’ll shut up about the lab leak!
Yeah, it’s the classic, “Nice car you’ve got there. It’d be a shame if something happened to it…”
Here’s the deal: China knows nothing about civil rights. That’s just not a part of their culture and it is totally foreign to them.
Now we see how Musk stands up to the Chinese bullies! And it will take some finesse, not a bull-in-a-china-shop approach. It’s a tough needle to thread…
In the western United States, a movement to make most of the state of Oregon secede and join neighboring Idaho is gaining support from politicians in both states.
… “Idaho would have the satisfaction of freeing rural, conservative communities from progressive blue-state law,” said Mark Simmons (R-Ore.), former Speaker of the Oregon House of Representatives, in an op-ed over the weekend voicing his support for the movement. “We are dismayed by the manner in which the Oregon government has marginalized our values and villainized our resource-based livelihoods. This is why our counties voted 75% Republican last year (Idaho voted 67% Republican).”
I know Idaho pretty well. I grew up there. And I’ve always figured that this idea was DOA.
But then again, it has gotten far further than I ever thought it would…
The new one won’t be better, but it is sure nice to see her gone!
we’ve been saying that for ages!
EVs can be fine as a little commuter car to travel the five miles to work and back, to be then plugged in overnight.
But there are indeed problems. You simply can’t use them for road trips. And in an emergency, they may well leave you stranded. With a hurricane coming! And what if there are power outages?
BUT, they are indeed “torquey”and fun to drive. That is, if you can just not think of the child slaves that strip-mined the cobalt needed for your batteries so you can sleep at night!
countries, plus Japan, move toward a nuclear power future.
Good. It’s the only wise move, here. Wind and solar SUCK! They can’t even function without government subsidies! They butcher wildlife and use exorbitant land and other resources. Clean, reliable nuclear power is the obvious answer.
