The National Oceanic And Atmospheric organization isn’t at all Christian or Jewish and has obviously borrowed or expropriated an important Christian/Jewish name for itself to disrespect it, expropriate it and obfuscate the spiritual importance. It is the federal equivalent of the Washington Redskins or Cleveland Indians names that were offensive symbols to actual Amer-Indians. N.O.A.A. is a godless organization of smug scientific atheist swells too happy to disrespect private American citizens of faith when they can. N.O.A.A. claims to administer oceans and atmosphere; it does a bad job of managing fish in Alaska. I haven’t seen a fish of moderate or large size jump from saltwater since 2000. Fish catches are down or canceled all over because N.O.A.A. stinks at fish administration and probably puts the blame on some other organization managing ocean resources. Sea lions and killer whales have also been bitten by bad animal administration. Select bird species are dwindling under bad N.O.A.A. administration. Canadian wildfire smoke drifts into Alaska occasionally- does N.O.A.A. administer that? N.O.A.A. local weather forecast broadcasts have been reduced to just one day ahead of time; an inadequate quant for planning trips over-the-water for supplies. The forecast wind direction and speed is often wrong and sometimes opposite. Before growing to become swells N.O.A.A. accuracy was better and local weather prediction made five days in advance; a minimal quantity for reasonable travel planning.

Maybe another Cash for Clunkers Presidential Race in 2024
The U.S. electorate should pick a President the way George Steinbrenner picked players for the Yankees. He always got the best available. When a player isn’t at the top of his game with great ideas vote him or her out of office directly. The nation needs a succession of intelligent Presidents with great new and innovative ecological economic and technological development ideas who can liberate the poor, and secure democracy against rich international corporatists more concerned with hiding cash offshore and relocating blue and white collar jobs to offshore locations with the cheapest quality workforce and low taxes available. Presidential selection should be regarded as a team relay with the fastest, brightest Americans chosen from any field rather than career bureaucrats that have evolved their way to the top by outliving rivals.
Democrats constructing Perfect Economic Storm
The United States economy is heavily invested in foreign production; especially in Asia. China’s emergence after the Cold War 1.0 into being a major trading partner of the United States was fomented by its vast market demographics, low labor costs for productivity and people culturally trained first in Confucian then Maoist ethics evolving toward mixed capitalism and enterprise that drew western investors. China in the 1990s was an emerging global economic power eager to throw off the shackles of poverty that had kept it in a second or even third world status decades before. Democrat policies to develop enmity over Taiwan and Chinese support for Russia’s position regarding the west and Ukraine in particular are a key element of the Democrat Party’s construction of the perfect economic and environmental storm that may lead ahead to depression.
Transpuckic Journalists Serve Mass Extinction
Contemporary broadcast journalism in the United States evolved from neutral observer presentations of the 1960s and 70s to adversarial journalism where-imp journalists interviewed and pieced together stories to prove points of narratives with transpuckic broadcast shots on the goal of reinforcing and advancing power to benefit special interests. Transpucktional reporting is adversarial, builds narratives with pieces of truth that support semi-fiction narratives, omitting exculpatory counter-tangential facts and other materials non-supportive of preferred narrative themes.

Book ends justify the means of Demo plot construction?
The end of a book; the conclusion, can justify a lot of plot twists when it’s good enough. Fiction narratives and perhaps Democrat party narratives with the logger’s flummery sending lumber racing downhill in water chutes like bobsleds have linear and simple force with nothing to the sides. Novels nearly never have unintended consequences such as characters being deleted from other books as the reader moves along a plot’s time line from the alpha of page one to the omega point of the last paragraph. In the real world actions and structured special designs implemented en mass or even in isolation from the mainstream may develop innumerable unintended effects as the plot develops.
With Germany seeking to build a natural gas
pipeline from Portugal to replace the Nordstrom pipeline from Russia the plot
can be inferred to be intended to last for a generation. That may increase
natural gas costs a little in the U.S.A. and build a political wall between the
west and the east of Eurasia. Wall Street’s investing opportunities will be
reduced while Democrats build an isolationist wall between East and West.

Pres Biden hints Democrats may have weather control in the future
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.

Earth Heating/Cooling for Desert Homes
The Earth is constant regarding temperature. Not far below the surface the temperature remains the same regardless of extremes caused by climate change. Desert homes built in the exuberance era of Hoover Dam's online status that rely entirely on electricity for comfortable heating cooling highlight human designing flaws in adapting to the Terran ecosphere. Rational politics would adapt to the change and reduce desert heating costs by at least half.
There may always be more demand for power than can be produced or that is necessary for heating and cooling of well designed structures. Costs rise with demand always shuffling out the poor from new deals. Las Vegas could adapt to increased global heating by requiring some ordinance that new homes be at least 50% cooled from passive Earth technology that bring down high temperatures and bring up cold with little electrical use. Retrofitting structures should also be considered, and public spaces that don't need electricity to stay within a survivable range should be considered for emergency preparedness.

California Governor's Attack on U.S. Constitution
California’s Governor Newsom signed in to law a bill allowing citizens to sue other citizens for exercising their constitutional right to keep and bare arms. He modeled the bill on a Texas law allowing citizens to sue abortion providers. Apparently he doesn’t know the founders did not put a constitutional right to abortion in the original document or amendments thereafter. Letting citizens sue citizens for exercising constitutionally protected rights is a direct attack on the constitution of the United States. The Newsom anti-build a gun kit law sets a precedent for liberal lawsuits on every constitutionally protected right. The Newsome model would let a globe of lawsuits contradicting constitutional rights like the right of women to vote and freedom from slavery.
For some reason Democrats don’t seem to comprehend the ramifications of their approach to gerrymandering constitutional liberties. For instant gratification Democrats make very dangerous attacks on the pillars U.S. government legislative rules, and constitutional rights in addition to unstatesmanlike foreign policy. At least the nation can be confident that Democrat Party leadership will continue to seem to be disingenuous or indolent and never get an advanced new energy infrastructure built that creates hydrogen gas from electrolysis to make a liquid hydrogen cooled super-conducting electrical grid that synergizes greenhouse gas reduction and clean energy independence.
Bad politics and daft politicians are an empirical threat rather than an existential one. The difference is this; existential viewpoints are individual rather than common or empirical. What is an existential threat to one person may be beneficence to another. An empirical threat is a pervasive threat to all within a realm. That kind of threat usually arrives from space, from deep in the Earth, or from Washington D.C.
Irrational Exuberance, Environment and Inductive Puzzles
Experiencing the climate this year in S.E. Alaska where July so far was cool and inclement it occurred to me that indoor, thermostat regulated lifestyles like those of average Americans detach humans from environmental sensitivity. I’ve spent decades in unheated shelters including Alaska, sometimes sleeping on the ground where I used ground temperature and insulating blankets to keep a gallon of water from freezing solid when the air temperature was zero Fahrenheit, so I am fairly sensitive to climate.
The effects of indoor, thermostat regulated lifestyles are fairly new in the course of human history. A couple of centuries ago people in the north were lucky to have a wood stove for cold winters and built their homes around the wood stove. Air conditioning didn’t exist much before electricity when the Gulf coast was populated by mosquitoes and outlaws. People worked hard to separate themselves from nature to a certain extent; they liked bright things, glitz and shiny and that desire to be relieved from the common dark, dour, sometimes dank conditions of homes lit by candles and perhaps kerosene lamps increased along with the advance of technology. People were attracted to neon lights like bugs are to bug lights. Indoor living with climate controlled environments became common as did machines for transport and to relieve work. Humans to some extent tried to forget the external and very real world of nature and were unconcerned with managing its health. In places like the Willamette Valley of Oregon and Puget Sound of the state of Washington urban and suburban sprawl overtook exceedingly fertile farmlands that had arisen when the great northwestern forests were converted into lumber. An irrational exuberance had overtaken humanity of the first world and it was based on segregating nature and placing mankind into an artificial, bug free, trouble free world.
It is my belief that the irrational exuberance of living a lifetime in artificial environments has affected human psychology deeply. The bright lights and bling of the artificial has become the new normal and nature has become regarded as disreputable. Some associate nature with vermin and value its remaining ecospheric health only so far as to consider its monetary value if processed for market sale. The psychology of natural consumption inside the new nature of the artificial normalizes irrational exuberance. The addiction to a world of pastel colors, shiny objects, bright lights and machines has been joined with drugs, alcohol, tobacco and intoxicants of polluting and non-polluting kind so far as to make common human nature maladapted to experience subtle change of seasons effects directly on the senses, the varieties of darkness and light of winter months, and psychologically incapable of making serious remedies for gross natural habitat loss, mass species extinction and global warming.
In my opinion being aware of the problem is required for fixing those serious ecospheric, environmental challenges. It is probably impossible to get humanity to step back from the ecospheric ledge if it requires reducing consumption, so increasing efficiency through innovating new technological and environmental methods may be the most realistic way to proceed.
Politicians tend to be immersed in the general unnatural psychology of irrational exuberance and excess consumption. Americans buy some things just because they can and feel like it. They have disposable income that exceeds their basic needs for living. President Reagan was known as the great communicator. He was an optimist with a cheery disposition. Not only was he liked, he was trusted. President Reagan said that America’s best times were yet ahead. His optimism helped greatly to bring about the end of the Cold War 1.0. President Reagan had faith in God and that was honest. He too however personified the American greatness of consumption rather than environmentalism. The nation needs faith in God, environmental reformation and technological progress to move very far ahead in the way of progress. Blind allegiance to the politics of consumerism and a wrong understanding of Smith’s Wealth of Nations/Capitalism may deliver the U.S.A. to knock itself out crashing into an environmental limits wall.
I have written elsewhere on select approaches to take to make up with the nation and world’s ecosphere. The field of environmental economics is highly recommended. I would add here the observation that what is lacking in U.S. politics at the Federal level (actually quite a number of character items are lacking and in need of repair yet I will not digress) is creative thinking. Fixing the environment is a matter of solving inductive puzzles rather than deductive ones like crossword puzzles. Inductive puzzles bring one to see ways to put different technologies or tools together to make something to solve problems and challenges. From pieces in the world comprising everything that exists, one selects pieces to invent a puzzle picture that solves the problem.
Audio News Media vs Text
There is a stark contrast these days between news media with human audio and news reports in written text; the former is marinated in political spin and text, far less so. Television, radio and Internet video are saturated with human and speech synthesizer read news stories that usually have rave demotic spin slathered onto skeletal structures of news facts. Hearing via the ears, Julius Caesar commented, is the most vulnerable sense. He would be aware if alive today that enemies with mass communication technology can do a lot of social harm. People can injure via the ears from across the globe. Brainwashing and political control may be engendered through audio with deceit and guile. Text is shorn of emotional and disinformative spin packed into audio inflections and warps of paradigmatic and syntagmatic axes. Audio readily serves as a communicable social disease of lies.
Text of
course may be used to put out propaganda. The ability to consider text reports
without emotional manipulation is much easier than for audio reports. One may
for instance, compare audio to walking through a store checkout line with human
checkers vs. one with a self-scanner-check out, do it yourself system. The
human may use audio to spin even the weather while the do-it-yourself scanner
should generally be silent and compliant.
Text has a
syntagmatic and paradigmatic axis. Audio has those too, and one more; a
phonological axis. The phonological axis can be used to corrupt syntagmatic and
paradigmatic axes infusing each with duplicity and/or emotives.
It isn’t that
automated systems with speech synthesizers cannot be used for audio spin; they
can. The National Weather Service’s marine weather forecast radio usually
applies some kind of controlling spin pronunciation onto regular words. One
could pack emotion laden language into any speech synthesizer or insults from
grocery auto check outs to automatic car driving systems. Electric powered self-driving
car owners may want their vehicles to have a road rage program function built
in to compensate for a wussy environmentalist reputation; who can say.
It is
possible to compare text for objective content more easily than audio reports.
If one watches the spin of Fox News vs. NBC or CNN via the Multi-news windows
of cable TV the contrast can be notable sometimes. With text one can line up
three reports on the same news item and sometimes see spin from the left, right
and with luck, and objective, just the facts sort of item.
The Democrat
Party seems to be permanently on vacation from objectivity and intellectually
optimizing mass infrastructure designs for progress in a preference of anti-Trump
and anti-Russia narratives forever. The hate Trump narrative is comparable to
the Mary Jo Kopekne remarks that flowed through the conservative media about
Sen. Ted Kennedy decades after the drowning; it is simply much more hateful,
loud and of a scale Sen. Joe McCarthy would have appreciated.
I believe it
is possible that the phenomenology of modern capitalism inducts socially
destructive political dynamics to facilitate the concentration of wealth as a
best-possible-wordline in-itself. The rich own the media and the political
environment too. With the end of Cold War 1.0 political reorganizations were
made to enable concentration of wealth. The rise of an American left was a
concern. It is possible that the left were diverted to socially divisive issues
as a way to take their focus off economics and the politics of economic
equalization within a reasonable range income distribution. The same principle
may apply to environmental reformation too; the rich may prefer gradual
for-profit market responses to environmental challenges over comprehensive
government led approaches in order to conserve increasing concentration of
wealth. I believe the media, owned by the rich, reinforces the narrative of
social issue divisions.
