The depravity of man is at once the most empirically verifiable reality but at the same time the most intellectually resisted fact.

I always thought of Demolition Man as dystopian action-comedy. Who knew that it was more prophecy than mindless entertainment? Then again – and oddly appropriately given his well-know proclivities – Oscar Wilde once wrote, โLife imitates Art far more than Art imitates Life.โ So, perhaps I shouldn’t be too shocked that the Liberals and Progressives want to make this movie the basis for much of our future.
There’s actually more than a decent chance that, thanks to the climatard idiocy of California’s Leftist government, that this will be the EV showrooms of California’s near-term future. Even more so than the rest of the country, California’s electrical power grid is by and large unable to support it’s current use, much less that plus millions of electric vehicles.
During a late-summer heat wave California Gov. Gavin Newsom pleaded with residents to conserve energy use through easing back on air conditioning and refraining from charging electric vehicles during peak use times. And that was with the current fleet of EVs, which is only 10-20% of their stated goals.
Yeah, California looks to set for a dark future. ๐

Sadly, there’s an old sociopolitical aphorism, “As California Goes, so Goes the Nation.” In this case, if it holds true, that will be into a new Dark Age. ๐
There is most certainly a level of karmic irony when it comes to Creepy Uncle Joe’s feelings towards the oil industry. He was installed in office and immediately showed his disgust and antipathy towards America’s domestic oil industry, only to be shown equal levels of disgust by Saudi Arabia when he begged them to delay reducing production until after the 2022 elections. ๐
I’d say that wise men tread lightly around and try to reach mutually tolerable accommodations with those that literally power the world, and hence, have power over the world, but I’ve never heard anyone, not even Democrats, claim that Biden is in any way wise.
Still though, as painful as Biden and Co. are making it for people, the karmic irony he’s being subjected to is amusing.
Yes, that’s a real headline from real newspaper. And, it perfectly sums up journalism today… when they’re not just printing the copy that left-wing political parties hand them.
The Biden administration begged Saudi Arabia, the de-facto leader of OPEC, to delay its decision to reduce oil production by a month, putting the production cut and its resultant spike in fuel prices Americans will experience safely after the 2022 midterm elections, which are rightly feared by the Left to be a bloodbath for Democrats.
The Saudis outright refused Biden’s plea to save his party’s chances in the midterms and any possible future for Biden’s presidency. They are not going to allow the Democrats’ election chances or Biden’s war against Putin to overrule their own economic interests.
