We Demand That Atlas Shrugs!

It seems that New York is taking a cue from Manitoba: let’s make up phony reasons to reject private sector investment. God forbid that industrial infrastructure should use energy….

Gov. Kathy Hochul signed an executive order Tuesday imposing the country’s first statewide moratorium on hyperscale data centers, which house thousands of computer servers and require massive amounts of energy and a steady supply of water to keep cool.

They Don’t Make Them Like They Used To

The International Harvester deep freeze in my brother’s basement is still in operation, 22 years after I first mentioned it here.

In an adjacent room, is an International Harvester refrigerator keeping beer and soft drinks cold. It looks like the one pictured below.

 

International Harvester, a farm equipment manufacturer (more here), produced refrigerators and deep freezes between 1948 to 1955.

I’ll let you do the math.

To be fair, I wouldn’t expect Emma to know this, given they just might be older than her grandfather.

Communists Never Learn

Do you remember this famous speech by Sally Field?

Bob Ferguson, the incompetent governor of Washington State, and Katie Wilson, the incompetent communist running Seattle, are not paying any attention to the endless warnings from the business community. So rather than like them, everyone HATES them and rightfully so! How much more damage & destruction needs to occur before these morons change course? Sadly, they never will. Communists are stuck on stupid and seemingly can never reverse course.

His Rampant Manliness

On competitively progressive parenting advice; on academics whose paycheque depends on propagating failure; and a lecturer in “critical whiteness studies” apologising, at length, for his heterosexuality:

Professor Yancy goes on to denounce, on behalf of all men, “our sexually objectifying gazes… our pornographic imaginations.” Our “dominant phallic economy.” Indeed, he continues, “we are collectively complicit with a sexist mind-set and a poisonous masculinity.” You see, being aroused by women, while not quite rape in itself, is nonetheless, as it were, rape-adjacent, and constitutes “a violent, pathetic and problematic masculinity.”

One wonders how a species of suitably corrected human beings, purged of such heterosexual inclinations, might propagate and flourish. Such that we can indulge the theatrical sorrows of lecturers in “critical whiteness studies.”

All this and more.

Can elections be free and fair if one political party controls the media?
