Apparently the dementia patient and Janet Yellen missed this class. One is a lawyer who has the same educational background as the dazzler and the other has a Yale PhD in economics and has the same understanding of money as mello. No functional difference.PurpleThrobber said:

MISS IRAQ RUNS FOR OFFICE
We last saw Sarah Idan when she was Miss Iraq in the 2017 Miss Universe pageant. She made international news when Miss Israel posted a photo of the two of them on Instagram, with kind words about Ms. Idan. That caused predictable blowback in the Arab world, causing Idan to issue an apology in Arabic. It wasn’t enough; her Iraqi citizenship was revoked and her family fled to another country.
While she represented Iraq in the 2017 pageant, by that time Idan, having volunteered as a teenager to work with the U.S. Army as a translator, was living in California. Now, appalled by the Left’s anti-Americanism, she is running for Congress:
She fled war-torn Iraq for a better life in America, and now Sarah Idan is ready to do battle here — against the woke Democrats she says have turned the country upside down.
“There’s a voice missing. There’s the immigrant who f—ing suffered and came here and lived the American dream,” Idan, 33, said this week on the 20th anniversary of the Iraq War.
The one-time beauty queen — who represented Iraq in Miss Universe in 2017 and faced death threats after befriending and snapping a selfie with Miss Israel -— aims to throw her tiara in the ring for a California congressional run….
Idan intends to run as a Democrat, but her fury is reserved for that party’s left-wing elements:
[S]he already knows what her first campaign will be: rooting out “crazy far left and woke voices” in her own Democratic party obsessed with so-called “white privilege.”
“Shut up—-because you have no idea how privileged you are,” Idan said.
The fiery feminist and human rights activist has spoken out against extreme left Dems, such as Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar, blasting her for her incendiary comments about Jews and Israel.
“I don’t stand for your anti-American, antisemitic, Muslim Brotherhood agenda, using this democracy to further your…Islamic socialism goals of dividing and weakening our country,” Idan tweeted.
“I would just be the opposite of Ilhan Omar. I’m a Democrat and liberal, but I don’t think like you – I don’t hate this country,” Idan noted.
I am sure that Sarah Idan speaks for a great many immigrants.
Her tumultuous background gives her a unique perspective on what she sees as the greatness of the American dream.
“They hate when I say anything good about this country, when I say I love it and have rights here,” she fumed. “They want to hear you say, ‘No, this is a horrible country, a horrible government, and we have no rights.’”
***
“We need fresh people in office to take out the communists, pushing crazy policies,” said Idan.
“I may have been born in Iraq, but my soul is American.”
Is there room in California’s Democratic Party for a pro-American candidate? I doubt it, but I commend Ms. Idan for trying. -

Actually it's closer to 9 months, but the point remains. A one time confiscation of all the assets of US billionaires would fund our spending for 9 months. In year 2 and from then on you would get no money from US billionaires because their wouldn't be any. This is called killing the golden goose. Probably illegal to teach that story today in elementary school. Would interfere with drag queen hour.Bob_C said:

I would never, ever occur to this asshole that every income earner in this nation pays too much in taxes, government is way too large, too incompetent, too scandalous, frequently unconstitutional, and certainly malevolent.
It's never "you should pay less." Instead it's always "somebody else needs to pay more, to make things fair." Wasteful assholes. -

I don't begrudge wealthy people as long as I'm not subsidizing that wealth creation. Warren Buffet's Berkshire Hathaway got $2.2 billion in tax credits for building wind and solar plants in 2022. Musk's Tesla will receive up to $3.8 billion indirect federal EV tax credits in 2023. Jeff Bezos made tens of billions of dollars from the federal and state shutdown mandates that shuttered small retail businesses and scared people away from visiting competitors. That's the sh*t that has to stop, but instead it's just an ever increasing amount of crony capitalism otherwise known as fascism.

South Africa is another fine example of the miracle of socialism. It's also a fine example of the utter stupidity and hate America that is our Ivy League led State Department and Janet Yellen. The last thing that the collapsing nation of South Africa needs is a billion dollars for climate change and electric vehicles that will just be stolen by the theftocrats that run the country.

After billions in US aid (including a recent $1 billion pledge), South Africa is conducting joint military exercises with Russia and China
By Thomas Lifson
South Africa, alas, is not our friend. Despite decades of financial and moral support from the United States, South Africa is drifting into alignment with our rivals for global supremacy. Daniel Greenfield reports for Front Page Magazine:
In November 2022, Climate Envoy John Kerry announced a giveaway of $1 billion in foreign aid to South Africa. The failed racist state which regularly suffers blackouts from its socialist power system was being offered billions to subsidize electric cars and green energy.
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen claimed that “President Ramaphosa and the South African Government have created a bold plan identifying a clear strategy for achieving South Africa’s most ambitious climate targets.”
In reward for that $1 billion and the billions in foreign aid dispensed over the years, South Africa is conducting joint military exercises with China and Russia.
The Biden administration had little to say except that it was “concerned”, but wasn’t about to tear up that $1 billion check to make sure that a crime-ridden country with $500 million in car thefts a year has all the electric cars its car thieves need to steal and resell. -

Uh oh. Car insurance going up. Is there nothing that EVs can't do.
Not ESG-Friendly: Insurers Junk Entire EVs For Minor Accidents
Tyler Durden's Photo
BY TYLER DURDEN

It's a surprise that Reuters has published an article revealing that the electric vehicle revolution might not be as environmentally friendly as automakers claim. Furthermore, a scratched or slightly damaged battery pack could lead insurance companies to scrap the entire car.
"We're buying electric cars for sustainability reasons," Matthew Avery, research director at automotive risk intelligence company Thatcham Research, said.
Avery pointed out, "an EV isn't very sustainable if you've got to throw the battery away after a minor collision."
A Tesla battery pack costs tens of thousands of dollars and represents a large percentage of the vehicle's price tag. Insurance companies have found that it's uneconomical to replace battery packs if damaged.
Many automotive manufacturers, including Tesla, have made battery packs a structural part of the car to reduce cost products but have shifted costs to consumers and insurers when batteries need to be replaced.
Unless carmakers produce more easily repairable battery packs, there will be a growing number of low-mileage EVs scrapped after collisions.
"The number of cases is going to increase, so the handling of batteries is a crucial point," said Christoph Lauterwasser, managing director of the Allianz Center for Technology, a research institute owned by Allianz.
According to Lauterwasser, the production of EV batteries results in significantly higher CO2 emissions compared to conventional fossil-fuel models. Therefore, if these batteries are discarded with low mileage, it undermines the goal of promoting environmentally-friendly practices.
"If you throw away the vehicle at an early stage, you've lost pretty much all advantage in terms of CO2 emissions," he said.
Sandy Munro, head of Michigan-based Munro & Associates, which analyzes vehicles and advises automakers on how to improve them, said the Model Y battery pack has "zero repairability."
"A Tesla structural battery pack is going straight to the grinder," Munro said. -
