A Bad Week for The Science™

Original Article

Posted By: earlybird, 2/18/2021 11:20:52 AM

The late comedian Mitch Hedberg, known for his clever one-liners, had a great quip about following his dreams. “I’m sick of following my dreams,” he said. “I’m just going to ask them where they’re going and hook up with them later.” If you’ve been following The Science™—and boy had you better, lest you risk being accosted by a self-appointed member of the mask police in the supermarket—you might be feeling a little bit like Mitch Hedberg felt about his dreams. Monday, we learned that the Center for Disease Control (CDC) was consulting teachers’ unions about whether it was safe to reopen schools.

Kindergarten teachers now calling the shots in opposition to the CDC? Who’s The Science here?

I miss Mitch Hedberg, and I'm going to watch his Comedy Central special this evening to try to escape the absolute insanity in which we are currently living.

In addition to all the fiction in their massively overblown 'pandemic', they are collapsing our energy systems. This "pandemic" has actually killed 9,700 people, according to the legitimate CDC death certificate system, not the fraudulent system put in place in March of last year. This is cross verified by the fact that there were essentially NO 'excess deaths' in 2020, only a bunch of deaths of other causes falsely attributed to Wuhan flu. And what do The Snowflakes do when their magical 'personal devices' have dead batteries and the windmills aren't working? No wind or maybe just a wintry day. What about if their Whole Foods is closed because all the refrigeration is out due to no power? And how will their Whole Foods get the food from the countryside -- solar powered semi-trucks? Or will they use those wonderful "sustainable" donkey carts? These idiots somehow imagine that these ugly, bird-killing windmills and solar panels add up to plenty of 'green power', when in reality they add up to freezing in the dark, and visiting closed or empty grocery stores if the diesel fuel stops coming. And do they imagine electric tractors to plow millions of square miles of farm land, and electric combines to harvest the grain that their bread is made from? Where are those huge tractor and semi-truck batteries made? And who mines the metals which make up the batteries? What powers the battery factories? All windmills, sunshine and unicorn farts, apparently. These city dwelling ignoramuses have absolutely zero idea how their world works, and they are furiously sawing off the supports that hold up our magnificent, comfortable, relatively safe and nutritious lifestyle. They are happy to sabotage something that they don't even understand, cannot repair and could never build. Leftists are just termites in the system, destroying everything without a clue.

For those people who have a little bit of money to invest, might I suggest in investing in Generac home generators. I suspect that sales for home generators will skyrocket after this last month. I know if I didn't already have one, I would sure as hell get one after this if I lived in Texas. Generac isn't the only manufacturer of home generators, but it's probably the biggest. They run off of natural gas, and kick on the moment power goes off.

We would be much better off without the CDC. They have become political activists, and are not engaged in disease control.

Many Americans do not know squat about the scientific method and believe that the opinions of politically influenced scientists is "science." The scientific method involves proposing all reasonable hypotheses to explain a phenomenon and gathering empirical data to test the validity of those hypotheses; the data adjudicates and either validates a hypothesis or refutes it because the data does not support the hypothesis. Instead we see a suppression of hypotheses that do not fit a preferred "narrative." The preferred "narrative" is to be accepted without being validated by empirical data. That is NOT science, it is propaganda and manipulation. The scientific method MUST employ empirical testing of reasonable hypotheses, NOT shouting of the OPINIONS of selected "scientists."

#4, I spent some time discussing Generac stock with my financial advisor yesterday. In two years ago Generac stock was at $52, and up from $36 three years earlier. Jumping ahead a year to March of 2020, Generac stock was at about $85. Jump ahead to mid Feb 2021, and the stock is selling for about $350. So, in two years, 600% increase. In one year, 400% increase. I think that the California regional blackouts for a week at a time triggered a sales boom. And now, I predict that Texans will be buying them by the trainload. Is Generac too high at $350? Perhaps, but people thought that Microsoft was too high at $50, and it is now about at 5 times that. I wish I had purchased some last year, but I think I'll sit this one out, but I will likely purchase a propane powered home generator this summer. Propane stores forever, unlike gasoline.

I wish we could have an honest debate about "green" energy sources. If we did, we would all recognize that there is no such thing: they all require some form of fossil-based fuels to produce, many require exotic materials to be mined for their production, and all have adverse affects on the environment when it comes to disposal/recycling (e.g., wind turbine blades are made of composites, which don't bio-degrade; hence, they have to be buried somewhere when they wear out or become damaged - which they do). Then there are the "savior" for carbon emissions: electric cars. The Current US power grid will not support charging/recharging millions of electric vehicles without augmentation from fossil fuels and nuclear power - which illogically is "off the table" as an alternative to fossil fuels. Also, fuel taxes pay for roads/infrastructure. When fossil fuels are no longer used, guess what? Your kilowatt hours will be taxed to replace that lost tax revenue. Since the government will not be able to determine where the electrons come from to charge each vehicle, they will place the taxes on electricity across the board, thereby sending your home energy costs to the moon. A final word: NO discussions with greenies about reducing US carbon emissions until they include plans for how to get China and India - the world's two largest carbon polluters - to significantly reduce their carbon emissions. I'm sick of living in a nation with one of the cleanest carbon footprints in the world while being told I have to do more to offset China/India.

Sorry for 2nd post but I just read the replies. #4, we bought a Generac after our first South Carolina hurricane. It runs on natural gas which is piped in (no tank) and powers the entire first floor of our house. It proved it was worth the cost when, during our second hurricane, we were running the washing machine, cool in the air conditioning, cooking, watching television, on the internet, taking hot showers and doing all of the other things that electricity makes possible, while our neighbors sat in hot dark houses. We also invited them to come over and share the comforts.

Get ready, black America! You’re about to get forty acres from a fool. President Biden has announced the formation of a commission to study the feasibility of giving reparations to every black American as a way to make up for that slavery thing that The New York Times tells us America couldn’t have existed without.

As Joe Biden constructs his new administration, individuals from the Obama administration are quietly resurfacing in positions of power. Some of these people are well known, others lesser so. But they all played critical roles at various times during the Obama administration. Susan Rice, Obama’s national security adviser and now the “top adviser to the president on domestic policy and related decisions,” has admitted to participating in the unmasking of members of the Trump transition team. Unmasking is the process whereby a U.S. citizen’s identity is revealed from collected surveillance. Initially, Rice publicly denied the allegations, claiming that “I know nothing about this.

I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life. There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says. After weeks of hype, CBS finally televised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah.
