Extracting rents from everyone it can.

Par for the course. He's betting big that the number of fervent and delusional covid cultists that were on the fence about him outnumber the unjabbed. Probably not a smart choice.

Facing a halved population by 2050, they naturally want to do something. As expected, nobody wants to face reality, so nothing can be done.

As with last year, a good clear-sighted analysis.

Neat to see he read the same papers and came to similar conclusions I did years ago. It's hard not to -- the whole thing is obviously a corrupt scam by these pharma diphsits and the bureaucracies revolving around them.

In case you have not already read it, check here for the definitive book on why this never works to whip inflation.

Finally. A paper proving that among the real numbers all quantum effects cancel out to nothing.

Makes sense, you'd reduce hospitalizations by chilling all these hypochondriacs out. That said smokes are cheaper.

“California’s first-in-the-nation law banning the sale of new gas-powered mowers and blowers also targets a machine that has become increasingly popular with consumers in recent years — portable generators. As people face power blackouts — in areas where utilities have cut power to curb wildfire threats, for example — many have turned to generators as a backup energy source. The new law, AB 1346 by Assemblymember Marc Berman (D-Palo Alto), was signed Oct. 9 by Gov. Newsom. Berman’s bill requires the sale of new small off-road engines to be zero-emission by 2024, or when the Air Resources Board says the cutoff is feasible, whichever is later. ‘Small’ means less than 25 horsepower, and portable gas-powered generators typically have half that level, or less. Portable gas-powered generators would be phased out by 2028.”

Couple this with shutting down Diablo Canyon, the provider of 1/5 it's base load with no plan whatsoever will work great.

Why it's all bullshit, and bad for ya

Turkish stock market collapses, trading halted.

So, he's a mercantilist who doesn't want to get vassalized via IMF debt bondage. As such he is instead executing the "economic hitman" gameplan on his country but to enrich his own faction focused on exports.

...Or, yanno, his government could have just stopped spending so so much money that they need to constantly hit Ctrl+P in order to keep the government solvent. Don't need an IMF loan if you don't run deficits to the tune of 3% GDP every year. Also, if you are just gonna default via inflation to avoid IMF debt bondage, why not just default on the already considerable debt load they have?

Oh wait, because that version of the farce doesn't wind up with big E in power. Instead the people would benefit by shaking the sickness out of the system. Can't have that.

Q1 gettin raped

Things have come a long way since the bartendro.

This is the best idea coming out of bipedal robotics. Would be life changing for paraplegics.

More or less total defeat of the administration. Turns out forcibly abolishing peoples' social lives is unpopular, who'da thunkt.

CPI-W now at 7.5%. Dems are cooked in '22. Bond markets still don't give AF. Crash flag flying as high as it can.

Nobody will care, just like nobody cares about the men who self-immolate after being ruined by family court for frivolous reasons.

Uncle Satan becomes less relevant by the day

Missile Crisis 2: Electric Boogaloo sadly

Criminal negligence and conflict of interest by the woke. Par for the course with these Weltverbesserers.

Phrenology, but with irises. Amazing.

Huge Development, likely fatal to the EU. Germany remains delusional and does not realize their former masters still lust for their territory and have huge debts that can't be paid any other way. If they don't wise up soon and re-arm, they are in for a rude awakening.

I of course don't expect them to go to SCOTUS, as that might touch the third rail of why EOs, PDDs and administrative law is considered lawful in the first place. We shall see.

Yet more deflationary signs. I too expect J-Pow to unload the toxic waste on FED balance sheets, but not hike ever.
