Don’t buy a new gasoline car unless you’re planning to get rid of it in just a few years, which
is kind of dumb, because then you’re eating the depreciation. But if you hold on any longer,
the value of a gasoline automobile will sink to nearly zero. What is your 35mm camera worth today?
The whole world is going electric, especially in China and Europe, the way things are going
the USA will no longer be number one in so many categories. As for all the b.s. from “patriots”
talking about how people are desirous of immigrating into the country…a true patriot would
talk about solidifying systems, making America more just, but that doesn’t seem to be their goal.

Texas residents can now sue Facebook, Twitter and YouTube for allegedly
censoring their content after a federal appeals court sided Wednesday with the
state's law restricting how social media sites can moderate their platforms.
How angry are Americans at the Democrats right now? Don’t take it from
me. Here’s a smattering of opinions, from my kid sister’s friends — and I
asked them particularly because they’re the constituency the Democrats
need to survive. To say that they’re not happy would be an understatement.
In the closing monologue from a recent episode of his HBO talk show, Bill Maher cataloged a series of social conditions that he suggested were hampering stand-up comedy and imperiling free speech: cancel culture, a perceived increase of sensitivity on college campuses, and Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars.
Near the end of his remarks, Maher invoked the comedian George Carlin, a personal hero whose iconoclastic spirit, he seemed to believe, could never thrive in such a thin-skinned and overly entitled era. “Oh, George,” he said, “it’s a good thing you’re dead.”
Nearly one in eight people on Earth are enduring a relentless, lethal heat wave that
is stretching into its third week.
I am a great believer in removing the profit-motive from business, essentially
because it stimulates greed, and it leads to corruption. However, the rich
are not responsible for the belief in creationism or the pro-life movement.
Forget cryptocurrency.
Some of us know the real secret to wealth. The commodities of the future
are the same ones that were always the most valuable.
We’re talking about food, water, and energy.
(And information.)
The right-wing attack on abortion will not end with abortion.
Defenders of Justice Samuel Alito’s draft opinion that would overrule Roe v. Wade say otherwise. They say that because Alito explicitly states that his opinion “does not undermine” other cases that rely on a right to privacy, like Obergefell v. Hodges, which established a right to same-sex marriage, then it’s fair to say that it doesn’t.
I think this is wrong — not just because of the logic of Alito’s opinion, but because of the logic of the political movement that ultimately produced his ruling.
