Biden's Electric Car Target Has a Problem—Many
Americans Don't Want Them
Posted By: NorthernDog, 4/19/2023 7:01:21 PM
Some 41 percent of U.S. adults would not buy an electric car, according to an April 12 Gallup poll of a random sample of 1,009 people. This, if extrapolated to the wider population, would represent around 106 million Americans who are against a key plank of Joe Biden's vision of a green economy. While this comprises a sizeable minority, the survey, conducted between March 1-23, found that a majority of 55 percent either currently own or were considering owning an electric vehicle (EV). Those against buying an EV tended to be older, and 71 percent of those who identified as

Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY) filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Sunday after a years-long decline in sales doomed the home goods retailer. In a statement on Sunday, the company said its Bed Bath & Beyond and buybuy BABY stores will remain open "as the Company begins its efforts to effectuate the closure of its retail locations." Sixth Street will provide the company with $240 million in debtor-in-possession financing, which will allow the company to continue operations during its wind-down process.

When Ryan Shanahan, 41, decided to buy a house in Portland, Oregon, he knew from the start that he wanted his future home to be "net zero." To be net zero is to cut greenhouse gas emissions to as close to zero as possible, with any remaining emissions reabsorbed from the atmosphere, by oceans and forests, for instance, according to the United Nations. "My mantra is that the future is efficient, electric, and renewable," Shanahan tells CNBC Make It. He is a zero-energy retrofits manager at Birdsmouth, a zero-energy housing company.

Sen. John Fetterman, D-Penn., on Thursday tweeted out a photo acknowledging 4/20, an unofficial holiday dedicated to smoking and celebrating marijuana. In the photo, the hoody-wearing senator is holding up a flag bearing the phrase, "It’s 420 somewhere." The "420" appears to resemble a marijuana joint. Marijuana leaves are scattered throughout the flag. (Snip) "You know what goes great with some weed? A Union," Fetterman wrote in response to a story about marijuana dispensary workers seeking to unionize. The origins of the 420 holiday are unknown, but many believe it originated in California in the 1970s when teenagers would ritualistically
Former first lady Michelle Obama revealed that she was not invited to the White House for the hanging of her official portrait, in a veiled swipe at former President Donald Trump. When asked whether she had returned to the White House, Michelle Obama said that "wasn’t invited" during an interview with late night show host Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday. (Snip) This is not the first time that Michelle Obama has targeted Trump, writing in her 2022 memoir, "The Light We Carry," that she felt shaken and hurt by his victory in the 2016 election. "It shook me profoundly to hear
Gov. Gavin Newsom promised two years ago to appoint a Black woman to replace Sen. Dianne Feinstein if she resigned. If he merely appointed a temporary “caretaker” would that honor his pledge? I wouldn’t think so. It wouldn’t be in keeping with the spirit of his promise. The governor seemed to be swearing that if given the opportunity, he would fill a glaring Senate void and make sure there was at least one Black woman member of America’s most prestigious and powerful legislative body. She’d be a full-fledged senator, not a temp. She would follow in the footsteps of California’s

American employers may need to fork out even bigger bucks to lure in workers. Employees' wage expectations have risen to a new high of $75,811 a year, according to the New York Fed's SCE Labor Market Survey in March. The reservation wage, or the lowest wage that someone would accept for a new role, is almost $2,100 higher than it was in November when the survey was last conducted, at which point the wage was $73,667. The survey asked respondents about the lowest wage or salary they would accept before taxes and other deductions if they were offered a job
At least three Republican senators have said they will not support a move to temporarily replace Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., on the Senate Judiciary Committee -- saying they wouldn't want to help Democrats advance President Joe Biden's agenda. On Monday afternoon, Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, who sits on the committee, became the most recent Republican to voice his opposition to temporarily replacing Feinstein while she recovers at home from having shingles, signaling an uphill battle Senate Democrats face in securing a replacement. "Never, not once, have we allowed temporary substitutes on committees, and now is not the time to start. Republicans
Sen. John Fetterman is to return to the Senate this evening for the first time since mid-February, after a six-week hospitalization for clinical depression. The Pennsylvania senator is expected to join a roll call vote to advance a nominee for deputy under secretary of defense, Radha Iyengar Plumb, to a confirmation vote. He’ll cochair a panel hearing on Wednesday. The highly routine moment will likely be met with outsized attention, given the Democrat’s path to the U.S. Senate — suffering a stroke, winning a politically coveted open seat, and then sharing his struggles with depression and seeking treatment at Walter
President Biden offered a terse response to reporters who repeatedly asked him about his 2024 prospects, telling them prior to his departure from Ireland that he had "already made that calculus" on whether to seek re-election next year and that he would announce it "relatively soon." Biden's comments to the press came from Ireland West Airport Knock, just before he boarded Air Force One to head to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. "Do you know whether the last few days have changed your calculus on when you'll make an announcement on your plans for 2024," one reporter asked. "No, no, no, no.
President Joe Biden was moved to tears on Friday during his trip to Ireland after he learned a priest at a Catholic shrine he was visiting had performed the last rites for his son, who died in 2015. The chance meeting with Father Frank O'Grady surprised the president, who later said: "It was incredible to see him. It seemed like a sign," according to the Associated Press. The priest who accompanied Biden on a tour of the Knock Shrine pilgrimage site said the reunion brought the president to tears. "He was crying, it really affected him, and then we said
Joe Biden became president promising a 180-degree turn from Donald Trump. But the two men do have one big thing in common: similarly poor approval ratings heading into the start of their reelection bids. Biden has not yet officially announced he’s running again next year, though he has said he plans to. Polls show his approval rating is hovering in the low 40s, right around the mark where some of his predecessors who were denied second terms sat at this point of their presidencies. According to FiveThirtyEight, Biden’s average approval rating stands at 43 percent, about 9 points lower than

New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) said New York City is being “destroyed” by President Joe Biden’s migrant crisis during a panel discussion in Washington, DC, hosted by the African American Mayors Association.
“The city is being destroyed by the migrant crisis,” Adams bluntly stated. Adams was joined on the panel by Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D), Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner (D), and outgoing Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D). Adams seemingly took a shot at other New York City officials, accusing them of not fighting hard enough to get federal resources to the city. “And none of my folks came to Washington, DC, to fight for the resources
A Democratic congresswoman had a rather bizarre message for Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg at a congressional hearing yesterday: thank you for prioritizing female crash test dummies in vehicle safety tests.Sporting her trademark purple hair, Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) thanked President Joe Biden’s top advisor on transportation matters for making “important investments to address the roadway safety crisis including that would accelerate the development of — and this is an area where I’ve written to you about — of the use of female dummies in crash testing
Stanford University's Black Law Students Association will no longer help the university recruit black students after the law school's dean, Jenny Martinez, apologized in early March to Fifth Circuit appellate judge Kyle Duncan. The students cited what they described as the "scapegoating" of the school's diversity dean, Tirien Steinbach, for an incident last month in which students disrupted Duncan's remarks and Steinbach egged them on. "The apology was intimately aligned with White supremacist practices," the group's board wrote....
Meghan Markle’s decision not to attend the coronation of King Charles III is said to be partly over “unconscious bias” regarding race, sources have claimed.
Meghan Markle, the wife of wayward British Prince Harry, has reportedly refused to go to her father-in-law’s coronation over an ongoing race row she is having with the UK royal family, sources have told the UK press.
It comes after confirmation that the American actress would stay in California instead of attending the event, with the justification given at the time being that she wants to celebrate her son’s birthday, which falls on the same day.
However, according to a report by The Telegraph,
The Biden administration is reportedly finalizing a proposal that would force fossil fuel-fired power plants to substantially curb emissions or utilize costly carbon capture technology.
The proposal — which will soon be released by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) — is expected to require coal- and natural gas-fired power plants to cut or capture the vast majority of their carbon dioxide emissions by 2040, The New York Times reported on Saturday, citing officials briefed on a draft of the plan. The regulation, if finalized, would represent the first-ever federal action curbing power plant emissions.
"EPA cannot comment because the proposals are currently under interagency review,"

Utah’s two Republicans in the U.S. Senate have decidedly different reactions to the widening ethics scandal swirling around Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas for failing to disclose lavish gifts, expensive vacations and financial dealings with a Texas billionaire.
Thomas has traveled on GOP donor Harlan Crow’s private plane and megayacht for years without reporting those gifts as law requires. Additionally, in 2014 Crow purchased Thomas’ childhood home in Georgia, where he allows Thomas’ mother to live rent-free.

It looks like actions might have consequences in the matter of Anheuser-Busch and its partnership with Dylan Mulvaney. (snip) But now, it looks like Heinerscheid might be suffering some consequences, too.
AdAge is reporting that the marketing VP has taken a “leave of absence” and has been replaced by Todd Allen, who has been the global marketing VP for Budweiser. (snip) According to a statement from City Distributors, a Topeka, Kans.-based Anheuser-Busich distributor, the custom can decision “circumvented the proper approval channels.”
Now, is that a permanent “leave of absence”? It’s hard to know, but when they replace you, it sure sounds like you might not be coming back.

Not even an event thrown by Mayor Eric Adams is immune from the violence plaguing the Big Apple.
An apparent emotionally disturbed woman got clobbered to the face Saturday by an unidentified man roughly 10 feet away from Adams during a “Car-Free Earth Day” celebration he hosted in the South Bronx.
The woman, who appeared to be in her late 20s to early 30s, started the brouhaha around 1:45 p.m. along Roberto Clemente Plaza on Willis Avenue, according to a video captured by a Post photographer.
She began repeatedly kicking bags of recyclables left along the plaza before opening them and dumping debris while bystanders stared in shock.
