Adam Smith's Invisible Hand whips Joe Biden again

If I got the opportunity to tell Joe Biden something, I'd love telling him 'I told you so.' That being said, I'd love telling other Democrats 'I told you so', too. Anyone that thought things through knew that Biden's EV push wouldn't work. It took time for the truth to sink in but the truth is finally sinking into Biden's thick skull.

Ryan Saavedra's article opens by saying "President Joe Biden is reportedly preparing to ease its push to force electric vehicles onto American consumers as consumer demand for the vehicles remains low, dealerships have expressed serious concerns, and automakers have had to cut production and revamp production of gas vehicles."

That's understatement

I'd consider it understatement to say "The New York Times reported that the move was a “concession to automakers and labor unions” from the administration as it was forcing “limits on tailpipe emissions” to force Americans to switch from gas-powered cars to more expensive electric vehicles, which often have performance issues in adverse weather conditions. The serious lack of charging stations, and the time it takes to recharge electric vehicles, are among other top complaints from consumers."

Practicality matters

Practicality and process matter. Cold weather drains EV batteries in a hurry. A trip across South Dakota, North Dakota or Montana might take a week. A trip from International Falls, MN, to Duluth, MN, might take a day+. Considering the fact that they're just in the planning stages of installing charging stations on I-90 (South Dakota), I-94 (North Dakota) and in Minnesota, this initiative was never ready for primetime.

This is a fancy way of saying 'people don't want EVs':

This is additional proof that Joe Biden is a socialist. The markets set prices and demand. That's how free market capitalism functions. Socialism fails because the social planners essentially say 'You must do this, you can't do that.' Adam Smith's Invisible Hand whips Joe Biden's socialism again. It always will.

    Here is the crazy thing: replace 100% of the cars on the road with electric vehicles, and the total effect on the climate will be ZERO! Nevermind all the myriad other undesirable (and largely impossible) side effects, these mandates do not even begin to solve the problem for which they are mandated!

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Image
Apparently, Joe Biden doesn't care about the law or Supreme Court rulings. When asked about the ruling on his student loan bailout, Biden said that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the Constitution. He knows they didn't. That's just what he said to preserve the opportunity to introduce his next unconstitutional plan that will get rejected by the Supreme Court. This isn't about whether it's constitutional. It's about whether he can con enough young people into voting for him in 2024. Biden must've anticipated this ruling. Within an hour of the ruling, the Administration was out with this detailed fact sheet to replace the plan that he knew would fail. It opens with the same partisan attack as Democrats have mouthed. The fact sheet opens by saying "No President has fought harder for student debt relief than President Biden, and he’s not done yet. President Biden and Vice President Harris will not let Republican elected officials succeed in denying hard

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

Maria Bartiromo's interrogation of Gov. Ron DeSantis

Image
Yesterday, Maria Bartiromo interrogated Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday Morning Futures. The first half of the interview, Bartiromo asked policy questions. Gov. DeSantis showed his understanding of the issues and presented his solutions on everything from China, inflation and growing the economy. The first reply he had was to cut spending. His next reply was to open energy production. Third, he talked about the importance of increasing productivity, which he correctly said is the best way to eliminate inflation. A little over half the way through the interview, though, it turned into an attack. Bartiromo asked "I'm wondering what's going on with your campaign. There was a lot of optimism about you running for president earlier in the year but here's this weekend's headline from the Politico Playbook: Failure to launch. Gov. Ron DeSantis's campaign to topple Donald Trump has stalled. We are way behind says a top DeSantis PAC official. What happened? Despite that bad
