Oregon taking another swing at the screw the Oregon consumer program. Nothing says SCIENCE like replacing gasoline with biofuels. You burn gasoline and you burn biofuels and emit CO2. But calling it a biofuel sounds cool and virtue signaling is paramount to a leftard. Also taxing utilities and businesses to fund "grassroot" organizations doesn't sound like communism at all.

"You don't need my permission. Just please get these people out of tents and into something warm."
Well, that's exactly what hundreds of Amish volunteers have been doing.
WNC resident (and X user) Margo reported last month that her area had "56 passenger bus load groups of skilled Amish carpenters coming down from Lancaster PA weekly to help build tiny homes for Cabins for Christ." Margo was doing her bit, looking for help finding room to lodge all of the volunteers. "We are bringing our own supplies and would be 100% self-sufficient," she posted, "Just need a place under [a] roof to sleep and house our volunteers from Monday night through Friday night every week."
And Another Thing: According to another X user, Scott Presler helped make sure all those volunteers voted early in Pennsylvania before they trekked down to North Carolina. Is this a remarkable time for conservatives or what?
That's the kind of spirit that helps make America great. Then there's all the hard work those Amish carpenters accomplished after they arrived.
Teamed up with Cabins 4 Christ, the Amish volunteers have been working five-day shifts before swapping out for the next team of volunteers. Nobody seems to know how many tiny homes have been built. But I used my paid research assistant, ChatGPT, to do some investigating for me. For whatever it's worth, ChatGPT claims that "In disaster relief efforts, such as the recent North Carolina project, Amish carpenters often build small cabins in as little as 5 days."
If a small team can build a home each week, and there are hundreds of volunteers working for almost four weeks, they must have built more than a hundred quality cottages by now. All on their own dime. If you know anything about Amish carpentry, you might safely assume those little cottages are well-built.
We, the people, might always find a way, but leave it to a bureaucrat to take it away.
Because a tent in late-autumn weather is safer than an Amish-built cottage, right?
Another X user told readers that David Rittlinger, PEDivision Chief of Codes and Interpretations, "the bureaucrat quoted in the release is living in 2100 heated sq ft in Wake Forest."
Not that I'm officially endorsing this notion, but it "would be a shame if people showed up there with their tents."
While I wait for my blood to stop boiling, I'll leave you with this bit of wisdom from Thomas Sowell: "You will never understand bureaucracies until you understand that for bureaucrats, procedure is everything, and outcomes are nothing."
Holy eye cancer. Hard to tell where you begin and some article about the Amish ends . Few hyperlinks, tweets, and bolds for good measure. Christ. What's the point, Walter?

Biden Throws Struggling Rivian $6 Billion Lifeline For EV Factory
by Tyler Durden Tuesday, Nov 26, 2024 - 10:45 AM
The Biden-Harris administration is rushing to spend taxpayer funds before President-elect Trump takes office. To start the week, the administration directed nearly $8 billion to Intel and now billions more to save struggling electric vehicle manufacturer Rivian Automotive.
On Tuesday, the US Department of Energy announced it would offer a direct loan of up to $6.57 billion (including $5.975 billion of principal and $592 million of capitalized interest) to finance Rivian's EV factory in Stanton Springs North, near the City of Social Circle, Georgia. The project was shelved in early March over the urgent need to reduce costs.
"Today's announcement reinforces the Biden-Harris Administration's commitment to strengthen the nation's manufacturing competitiveness, helping ensure American businesses remain global leaders in the rapidly expanding EV industry," the DoE wrote in a statement.
Democrats in the White House are spending taxpayer funds like a drunken sailor ahead of Trump entering the White House in less than two months. The Trump administration may claw back the money the Biden team is dishing out as lifelines to struggling companies.
We view the DoE loan as a lifeline for Rivian, considering it has been unable to meet production and sales targets and has burned through $19 billion since going public in 2021. The cash crunch forced the startup to pause construction of the Georgia plant in March.
The new Georgia plant could help Rivian boost the production capacity of more affordable models. The R1 vehicle costs $70,000 or more, which is unaffordable for the typical consumer because of high interest rates and elevated inflation.
"This loan would enable Rivian to more aggressively scale our US manufacturing footprint for our competitively priced R2 and R3 vehicles that emphasize both capability and affordability. A robust ecosystem of US companies developing and manufacturing EVs is critical for the US to maintain its long-term leadership in transportation," Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe wrote in a statement.
Rivian noted:
Rivian intends to build the facility in two phases, each resulting in 200,000 units of annual production capacity, for a total of 400,000 units of annual capacity–supporting the sale of American EVs in international markets. Phase 1 of the project is expected to start production in 2028. Rivian is expected to create approximately 7,500 operations jobs through 2030 at the company's future manufacturing facility in Georgia. This is in addition to 2,000 expected full-time construction jobs that will utilize the region's significant talent and workforce to further strengthen the domestic EV ecosystem. These jobs complement the thousands Rivian has already created and plans to maintain at its current plant in Normal, Illinois, which have bolstered the local and regional economy.
In June, German automaker Volkswagen provided Rivian with a $5 billion investment lifeline in the form of a joint venture, which helped to stem its cash hemorrhaging.
Multiple lifelines have been thrown at Rivian ahead of Trump's expected elimination of the EV tax credit, worth up to $7,500 for new EVs and $4,000 for used ones. Tesla CEO Elon Musk has applauded Trump's move to roll back EV tax credits because it will bankrupt his competitors.
In markets, Rivian shares are up 8% in premarket trading at around $12.56. As of Monday's close, shares were down 50% year-to-date, with about 18% of the float short, equal to about 135 million shares.

Using fertile farmland to grow inefficient fuel vegetables is peak Leftism.
But the water shortages!!!

Amish Volunteers Built 100+ 'Tiny Homes' for Hurricane Victims but Guess What Happened Next...Stephen Green | 1:05 PM on November 25, 2024

About fucking time. The Bai Den Crime Family is about to take a pay cut.
