POTUS replied to a press question in Kentucky that the
government can do something to recover from weather damage even if it can’t
control the weather now. The inference is that Democrats may be able to control
the weather in the foreseeable future. After that maybe controlling the tides
is next on the party agenda. I believe the irrational exuberance of the
Democrat party over passage of the biggest bill in decades or something to that
effect said Senator Schumer, is evident.
In the 2020 Democrat Presidential primaries global warming
response was a big topic that elicited plans from all the on-stage candidates.
The most expensive ran north of 50 trillion dollars and the cheapest was Joe
Biden’s 3.5 trillion dollar plan. The great ‘Inflation Reduction Doublespeak
Bill” allocates about 350 billion to slow global warming a little. That is 1/10th
of the cost of the most minimal plan; not exactly a success.
My belief is that intelligent regulations and laws could
eliminate greenhouse gassing, habitat degradation and mass species extinctions
faster and better than any spending bill the Congress might pass. Those bills
are invariably loaded with pork and are poorly planned to the extent of being ineffective
at improving the ecosphere. Jacque Cousteau and James Lovelock each expressed
the opinion that mankind has about 200 years of a livable planet remaining. I
believe the ballpark figure now is about 170 years. Humans are just over-consuming
and overusing natural resources with inefficient and ecospherically mal-adapted
technology.
Democrats have managed to restore the Cold War version 1.0
to a full 2.0 status. Sending ten billion to the Ukraine government for weapons
to kill Russians might have some unintended negative consequences for the
U.S.A., yet like the global warming problem, government leadership tends to
ignore the challenges and even increase the potential scale of disaster. Maybe it’s
premature in regard to the Democrat’s new world order schedule to think about
how normal relations could be restored with Russia and China, yet I will
indulge that point a little.
Democrats have piled on every sanction and penalty they
could imagine upon Russia. That will make it difficult to end conflict with
Russia or to end sanctions short of some kind of complete surrender by Russia
even though the U.S.A. and N.A.T.O. aren’t technically at war with them (though
Democrats might wish they could be). If
the U.S. weapons can kill so many Russian soldiers that the Russian military
withdraws to areas the United States government considers their legitimate
reservation it could not end the sanctions without that Russian surrender; if
it did that would be like ending sanctions on Saddam Hussein after General
Schwarzkopf and the military coalition drove the Iraqi military out of Kuwait
and back to Iraq. So long as Russia is regard as belligerent and on the wrong
side of the Queer Curtain (like the
Iron Curtain except lavender on the U.S.-N.A.T.O. side and red on the Russian
peace couldn’t be assured. Maybe it would evolve like the DMZ dividing the two
states of Korea and the western forces would stand ready to war against the
Eastern forces for a half century or more.
I believe intelligent people tend to see more and deeper
than people less intellectually gifted. It may also be that people believe
their own intellect is fine and they understand things as they are. Even the
most intelligent may be wrong- Einstein for example believed his cosmological
constant was a blunder. Maybe it’s a variable; if it was less a few billion
years ago than it is now it might have accelerated some-space on the way to
terminal velocity. Democrats seem content that their attitude toward Russia and
Ukraine is intelligent and the best outlook. They also minimize or ignore dire
possible consequences to global security as a result of the war. Too often they
declare they are defending another democracy when factually the U.S.A. has
evolved into plutocracy with nominal democracy. Wealth has concentrated, the
broadcast media became special interest social fascists fanning racial politics
and Democrats legislate special interest bills with one-party votes and a
majority of one in the Senate. Neither party seems interested in building a
better world that eliminates poverty in the U.S.A. first and then that of the
world while returning the environment to health.
With free enterprise
and limits to capitalism good legislation can move in the direction of a
healthy world. God told Jeremiah that everyone knows Him and they simply forget
who he is. Democrats not only lose reverence for God or even awareness of Him,
they also forget about campaign promises to pass substantial legislation to
slow or reverse global warming instead dumping ecospheric tokenism into their synthetic
fascist information media to prop up November re-election trimes. Alaska’s next
election later in August has weighted candidates where one is supposed to rank
choices, as if any substitute product was acceptable to one a voter believes best.
If federal elections had ranked choices indicating that just insiders are
ranked and eligible they would need
negative ranking choices (less than zero) to realistically capture voter
sentiment.
