Reminder: We Don’t Have What it Takes to ‘Go Green’
The Left’s all-in or nothing attitude about net-zero is one of their more disingenuous screeds. They’re ranting like lunatics and making more promises than a used Electric Vehicle car salesman with no car to sell you. IN other words, what they say, can’t be done.

After Manchin Slays Build Back Better the White House Sends Jen To Psakit-to-him
Sen. Joe Manchin is proving to be a problem for the Democrats. He is one, but he’s not getting in line like he is supposed to do. Something about, “this would be bad for my constituents,” and Dems are like who?
Democrats Won’t Make Anyone Pay Their Fair Share
Exchanging facts and opinions are constructive. However, a person publicly making essentially slanderous allegations should publicly provide evidence, not just opinions. Sean Kavanagh’s letter of Nov. 15 provides no evidence to refute my Nov. 8 letter.

Notable Quote – Statists Never Blame Government for ITS Lacking, Do They?
Economics is all about the study of scarcity and tradeoffs of which there are many. We know this because prices for different products are all different. Just because someone wants something doesn’t mean that it HAS to be available to them at their desired price point.

A question for readers if I may. What advantage to or for American workers or American people, in general, does the current open borders policy provide?
TreeHugger Letting the Mask Drop – Are You a Subject or a Citizen?
I spent a lot of my time today playing chauffeur to TMEW (she drives very little nowadays) and the Grandson (at 5 yo, wants to but…). Far more than I expected. The rest of the time, I discovered that after a period of relatively non-controversial posts, TreeHugger had taken a hard left-hand turn.

Wind Farms: “Whose Gonna Clean up That Mess Down There!”
Bill Cosby, in a very old skit about Noah’s Ark, wanted to know (Noah wanted to know) who would be responsible for cleaning up all that animal poop in the bilges after 40 days and 40 nights while God unleashed the rains to cleanse a sinful world. Well, that applies to “renewables.”
Response to Natalie Kelly on ‘The Minimum Wage’ – You Are an Economic Illiterate, and Selfish
Natalie Kelly is holding her own employees as “wage hostages” because the State of NH won’t raise the minimum wage to $12/hour. Hey, if you are the owner, just raise your OWN employee’s wages – don’t wait for someone else to be that impetus for you.
Yeah, We’re Smart, WH Press Secretary Jen Psaki. You, on the Other Hand…
I just got through posting how taxes on companies are just a cost of doing business that gets passed on to consumers. That Progressives who believe otherwise are out to lunch. So, great timing, Jen Psaki.
About Freedom…
Freedom is often talked about, praised, and glorified. We fight wars for freedom, sing songs about freedom, even our New Hampshire state motto pays homage to freedom, “Live free or die.” However, as I go about my duties as a Legislator and State Representative, I have serious concerns.
Warren Piece
Liz Warren is a piece of work, and sadly, for her, she can’t be in the Whoever is Running the Biden Administration (WRBA) Cabinet. As bad a Republican as Charlie Baker can be, if Warren departs for greener energy pastures and meetings in the West Wing, Baker will fill her Senate seat with a Republican if in name only – and Dems lose the Chamber.
Notable Quote – Slavery Laws finally met the Law of Economics
Of course, with many employers, each attempting to maximize wealth, competition for workers would soon force the wage up to a level at which it equalled the actual value of the worker’s labor services to the firm.
A President Biden Will Hold States Hostage
The Government uses the flu to shutter businesses, limit hours, and put people under house arrest. It then crafts massive bailout packages to “help” the people it harms. This relief is loaded with payoffs and bucket list items, and Biden is eyeing future bailouts as a way to advance his climate agenda.
