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.
Oregon is close to solving the fentanyl crisis just like they solved the teenage unmarried pregnancy crisis. If the kids only knew about fentanyl, they wouldn't take drugs. Genius. How come it took so long.

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.
March 20, 2023 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 TUESDAY, MAR 21, 2023 - 01:15 AM 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.
