Good Critical Analysis of "Green" Economy Ideas

I don't know who the people are at the "Manhattan Institute", and everyone who works at  think tanks is pushing some angle for some typically unstated reason, so keep that in mind.

This article is interesting, though. It rubbishes a lot of "green" fantasies very quickly.

One good nugget:

Meanwhile, with batteries, it costs roughly $200 to store the energy equivalent to one barrel of oil.[22] Thus, instead of months, barely two hours of national electricity demand can be stored in the combined total of all the utility-scale batteries on the grid plus all the batteries in the 1 million electric cars that exist today in America.[23]

Five Minutes to Midnight

 The FDA approved the vaccines for kids... Gee! What a fucking shock.

Kids face a risk from covid that's on par with lightning strikes--or lower--maybe the chance of getting attacked by an alligator or something equally ridiculous.

They face a real risk of damage from the vaccine, like the mountain biker guy from a couple of posts ago. Absolutely nobody knows the long term damage from that shit.

In spite of that, many dumb women will march their kids to the doctor for a dose of that shit ASAP.

This is a pretty major escalation in the insanity--and the escalations will keep on coming until bullets are flying and all hell is broken loose. 

YOU'VE BEEN WARNED

The shitty corporation I used to work for is now compelling its employees to get the vaxx or get fired, apparently. Unfortunately, I think quite a few people who didn't take the vaccines will believe it's necessary to take it to pay their bills.

I'm starting to think the "long term" side effects of the vaccines will start to show up in a couple of years, not 10,20 or some abstract point in the future. Neurological and auto-immune conditions are my guess for the prime problems in the rando buffet of side effects that are cropping up here and there.

It seems like the people who are running this operation ARE SHOWING YOU WHO IS PUSHING THIS SHIT so people can make a fully informed choice--many refuse to exercise their free will, though.

It seems like the NIH, for example, is run by psychos and retard boomer clowns that play guitars and sing their narcissistic parody songs because they have minions that clap along to feed their egos. The NIH funded studies to torture dogs and other animals--you think those malfunctioning robotic weirdos are even capable of giving two fucks about your health? How much has the human lifespan increased, or how much has health quality of life increased in recent decades in the wake of such bizarre ritualistic experimentation? Not much--if at all...

Bill Gates hung out with Jeffery Epstein--AFTER the dude was convicted of human trafficking. Gates is on record chuckling about mass murder.

Before you go sign up for a poke to keep getting funny money, realize who made the stuff in the poke. You don't have to do some deep analysis of stats or whatever to make a choice. It's basic bitch common sense.

Anyway, I think all of us are going to be lucky to make it through the next few years in one piece. The vaccines are an obvious booby trap. Its like the level one puzzle of a video game. Too many people fell for it, unfortunately, including people I know in my immediate circle.

The USA is an evil empire that is currently being dismantled. Be flexible. Get really simple and basic in your life. Look at the example of the collapsed USSR and read up on what worked there. It's coming for us too.

Permanent Delusion

If a person were going to purchase something like a car or a house, but they had perfect information about that item, they probably wouldn't buy it.

A new car depreciates an average of $13,000 the moment the ink is dry on the pile of papers people sign at a car dealership. Some cars are plagued with mechanical and other issues. Even an ideally reliable car like a Toyota or Honda will have several issues over its life. Some cars have very high operating expense. New diesel pickup trucks, for example, seem to be plagued with expensive problems. The latest generation of high compression engines, perhaps with single or twin turbo-chargers are probably going to suffer from reliability issues and repair expense will be astronomical. Also, many new cars are loaded with electronic sensors and wiring that will go bad: more $$$.

If a person could see the total cost of ownership up front, would they ink the paper? If they could see all the stress the car expense will cause them, etc... Would they put their future self in chains for 5-7 years of payments? Probably not.

Most of the time, people act in the present without any knowledge of future consequences. It's really not present in their mind at all--by design. Advertising drowns out those longer term views and replaces them with images of contented families and happy dogs.

The Pyramid System Sucks

 For thousands of years, human beings have toiled in the shadow of this or that pyramid. In some cases, there were literal pyramid buildings like in Egypt and other places around the world. In other cases, like in the USA, big hierarchical bureaucracies span the country in the form of governments, or corporations.

The pyramid really sucks because it wastes the lives of so many people and reduces them to slavery. Kind of dumb people who like to sit in meetings and hear themselves talk and who genuflect and stroke their way up the ranks set the agenda.

It's retarded. I don't think it's the outcome of a genetic plan in humans, I think it's really just endless centuries of bad training.

People should be raised to be independent from the system first, then introduced into a larger society as a peer, rather than as a subject or even as a "citizen".

Perverse System

There are engineers at corporations around the world who purposely build garbage products. They design components that will fail so the customer has to eventually go buy a new thing, like a new lawnmower for example.

The lawnmower is made in China or Asia by slave labor in a factory that faces minimal environmental regulations, so it pollutes air and water... There might be a commercial in the USA pretending that the company that imports the lawnmower "cares about the planet" or some similar nonsense. Perhaps they also post gay rights propaganda on twitter, too, so people think the company is "good".

Not Just No: Hell, No

 I've randomly watched some mountain biking videos from this youtube channel: Ride MTB. It's a dude and a girl that go around the country and ride their bikes--some of the videos are how-to's about learning this or that bike skill like doing wheelies. They did a video about Ray's Indoor MTB Park in Cleveland, which is the first video I saw on their channel.

The Pfizer vaccine turned the guy into an invalid. I hope he recovers. Based on the comments to the video, it seems like similar radically bad side effects are not all that rare.

Covid harms some people, but so does the vaccine. I don't think there's adequate information out there to know what the risks really are, but an unknown-for-unknown trade is a bad one. Also, nobody--absolutely zero people know the long term side effects from the vaxxes. It boggles my mind so many people took them.

Crumbling System and Natural Law

We're lucky to be alive right now. Since the current system in the US and the western world is crumbling, and Satan Incorporated wants to impose a new, even worse system, it's possible to look forward and backward and see both at once and say "no" to both.

Most of the time, people are kept in a sort of hypnotic delusion. They think the institutions and systems of finance and economics are permanent and based on nature, rather than the product of the whims of some inbred oligarch freaks. In this transition period, though we see right behind the curtain.

The old system could be called "the corporate consumer system". It is about 100 years old. About 5 generations have lived in this system. The ostensible free market was the basis for allocating resources, but that system was illusory for most of the time. The "market" is really completely owned by the financial system, especially for the last 20 years or so. It's a potemkin village, fraudulent thing.

The new thing is pure top down, cartel "business" control of everything. No more consumers. No more citizens. Just slaves and managers. It doesn't matter that central planning is a sure fire disaster. The cartels will plan the whole economy for their benefit. The slave will eat bug paste in a cement block like a typical communist pleb. The manager class will drive their Ladas/Teslas to their woodland Dacha for long weekends.

The corporate consumer system sucked, but this new thing would suck far worse. Nobody should stand for it.

When the whole system goes beserk like it is now, and when people go insane, like they are now, it really opens a door for a handful of people to escape through. For them, the current system loses all credibility and legitimacy... it puts them on the frontier.

They see things like the money in the current system as fraudulent and worthless. It's not a mere slogan, they actually feel the fraud in their bones. They look at the politicians and see them for the puppets and grifters that they are. They see their laws as equally fraudulent and worthless.

This group of people is truly free in the terrifying sense of being outside civilization, and its mass shared delusion, mass hypnosis. They're really out there like an animal in the woods.

And just like an animal in the woods, their number one job is to understand their place in this universe, and to reflect the natural order of the outside world on their inside world.

this is the way forward. 

"Green" Tech: Same ole, Same ole

California is attempting to "ban" the sale of new gasoline based power equipment (lawn mowers, chain saws, etc...) by 2024. The law that passed has provisions to keep moving the date back, by the way, so it seems unlikely that gas power equipment will really be banned.

There's currently no 1:1 replacement for gasoline or diesel tools and machines. There are electric tractors and electric lawn mowers and chain saws, but they're really not up to the task in many cases. The energy density of liquid fuels far surpasses that of batteries, of course, and the batteries have a suite of significant drawbacks. It's not very clear why the powers that be are obsessed by a switch to electric powered everything.

If we're running out of oil, which is totally plausible, it's extremely foolish to attempt to switch to electric everything. It will require more resources to change the entire industrial and energy infrastructure, than to attempt to conserve and switch to a more efficient overall economy. If we aren't running out of oil, then it's even more foolish of course. It's just an exercise in make work activity.

The sales pitch for electric vehicles back in the early 2000s was they'd be cheaper, last longer, and be easier to maintain... none of that really panned out. They're expensive and the battery is still a major weak link. Also, the manufacturers seem to be hell bent on extracting as much cash as possible from "owners" of the cars and are moving toward a software type relationship with customers with EULAs, monthly fees, and other similar nonsense.

It looks like "green" energy, batteries, cars, are just more of the same old same old rat race, hamster wheel debt based nonsense. There's nothing green about any of it--except the sales pitch. It's the same old people with the same old scams in a new PR spin. Fuck them. 

Are The Controllers Evil Geniuses or Totally Retarded?

Numerous jurisdictions around the world lack adequate grid capacity to mass charge electric vehicles, but governments and corporations are pushing them like crazy. There seems to be no corresponding push--at all--for additional grid capacity.

Consequently, some places are ushering in new regulations to prevent people from charging their vehicles all at once.

If we're really running out of petroleum, electric cars are stupid--it's a more resource intensive form of transportation than petroleum since we've already got the immense infrastructure for that. If we're not, they're also stupid for obvious reasons.

So here's the question--are governments and their puppet masters evil geniuses or are they just retarded?

I think it's the latter. There are undoubtedly clever people puppet mastering the corrupt scumbags in governments, but they're a really specific human type that's not overall useful for people as a whole, nor to anything else other than themselves.

The people can't imagine a bunch of retard conmen are bossing them around and making terrible plans, so they tend to think they're something special about Joe Biden or Bill Gates or whoever pulls their strings.

A Sudden "Energy Crisis"

All around the world there's an "energy crisis". China and various european counties are experiencing blackouts, lines at gas pumps, and similar signs of a struggling system...

Is there really a crisis though? It seems pretty staged.

So last year, and many years before we were consuming about the same amount of energy and resources as this year... but suddenly we "ran out" of coal, petroleum, etc... all at the same time? Seems implausible.

The shitty oligarch that is in control, seemingly of the world, wants a new totalitarian system that will "fix the crisises" that they keep manufacturing. The media is a key element of it of course. They keep dumb people hypnotized and afraid.

Anyway, it seems like the only way out, is to opt out of their shit systems--all of them--and build something in parallel from scratch.
