Even though we are surrounded by scores of information sources, the sheer number is enough to make one go numb. Factoids will be posted periodically to bring you bits of news which may or may not catch your fancy. Most of the Factoids will be posted to bring you counter-intuitive information which may not be covered by traditional news sources; Question: why aren’t they covered? Possibly they may go against the grain of political or cultural “acceptable” thought. Or, perhaps because they cannot fit into the thirty-second sound bites without raising more questions than they answer. Hopefully you will find some of them of interest!
HOW TO COMMIT SUICIDE: Remember the $1Trillion to fund the wonderful Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)? Thanks to West Virginia Sen. Shelly Moore, we now know that the Environmental Protection Agency received $3 Billion for “environmental justice. The Climate Justice Alliance, which is a network of nearly 90 affiliates received $50 million to support their work. The problem is the goals of the Alliance. Some of their goals include:
- Cutting military funding to Israel
- Shutting down Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)
- The abolishment of all prisons
- Defunding the police
They will also work with a group called the NDN Collective which states in it’s manifesto that, “We shout not treat the struggles we face against Zionism, white supremacy and imperialism as separate from one another, because they act as one to oppress and eliminate us.”
Does anyone at the EPA actually like the United States or are they just too busy to check up who they give OUR money too? (WSJ, pp A14, 5/24/24)
NOT A WAY TO RUN A BUSINESS: The EV business is not exactly a great way to build a business. Ford has admitted that they lost $132,000 for every EV they sell. The EPA (not them again) wants 70% of auto sales to be made up of EVs and plug-in hybrids by 2032. Think Ford will still be around by then? (IBID)
