Dang you hogmeister - this talk about tax iniquity has reminded me that in the past 10 years I’ve paid $40,000 in school taxes without having a child in the school system.

:(
Now you got ME feeling even worse. I'm out double that. :cry:
 
@tarbe I know your predicament. The level of gerrymandering and tax crap that's also intertwined with schools is pretty insane. In fact, my folks are planning to move to a closeby town in the short term.
 
Regardless as to the means of converting energy to our use there is one equation that I have yet to see addressed by any politician or academic. the basis of that equation is the only source of usable energy on Earth is our Sun. For a really long time there have been things that converted that transient energy to stored energy. So the Earth obtained deposits of carbon that stored this energy, commonly referred to as fossil fuel. The people of Earth have two types of energy sources- that which was stored by the Earth and that which is received as a function of sunlight. I do not have a figure as to how many KwHs are received during 24 hours from the sun. I know that technology is working to increase the efficiency of solar panels to increase the conversion of sunlight to electrical energy, but it is considerably less than 100%. So the questions are:

How much of the Earth's land and water surface are we willing to commit to solar panels?
Considering- The sunlight absorbed by the solar panel would have gone to some other user: plant, land/water temperature, so
taking the solar energy will have consequences not addressed as yet by proponents

If an optimum amount of solar panels is reached for the Earth, what is the potential amount of converted electrical energy?

Additionally, wind is a result of sunlight warming the atmosphere, water and land so it is a derivative of sunlight energy windmills are subject to the same questions as put to solar panels

Which leads us to the original unaddressed equation:

Total convertible energy from sunlight & sunlight derivatives per 24 hours
___________________________________________________ divided by
Total energy used by Earth's population


The answer to that equation will have results depending on the whether the answer is a fraction less than, equal to, or greater than 1.

the problem is if the fraction is less than 1, which means either the consumption must be decreased, or other sources of energy will need to be added to the numerator.

The Green New Deal does not allow for the addition of stored sources, so then the question is: who will cut back on their energy use?
 
He granted clemency to 11 convicted felons. I am still scratching my head over that.

The one that I find funny is Trump pardoned Michael Milken. The guy that Rudy Giuliani worked so hard to convict. Interesting how things come full circle.

The question is: will he preemptively pardon Hillary, Lynch, Holder, et al? It would save the judicial system a lot of money and short-circuit a lot of media malfeasance.
 
. . . I find electric vehicles very cheap to operate and maintain...and certainly not triple that for a gas car! More like the other way around

I take it you have not replaced a Tesla battery.

Those 3 have been too well protected by the establishment & deep state. Nothing would please me more, then to see the entire previous administration behind bars. That includes the lackeys in the FBI, and CIA.

Sunlight is the best antiseptic. I don't know what is going to happen, but I feel certain that Trump/Barr/Durham/etc. will be parting the clouds and spreading a lot of antiseptic for all to see.

Rumors are swirling, that Barr has threatened to quit over Trumps tweets of the DOJ. Don't know if it's more fake news? If true, Barr needs to grow a pair, or GTFO. I haven't seen any indication, that Barr is going to shine the light on anybody.

Roger Stone may get 9 years for lying to Congress, but the DOJ is not going to pursue McCabe for being a liar and leaker?

Something is rotten in the DOJ.

Barr isn't going anywhere. The DOJ was once his baby. It has to be disconcerting for him to see what it has become. America has become used to the DOJ making public announcements as to their investigations. That is not how the old school guys do things. Sessions, Rosenstein, Barr, you won't know what is going on until an indictment is unsealed or a plea is made in front of a judge. That won't happen until the time is right. Barr has already said that Durham should be done late spring or early summer. Durham looks to be the first prosecutor up to bat.

Patience is difficult.

Meanwhile, all the players are publishing books, and thumbing their noses at all of us.

I think this whole thing is nothing but a dog & pony show. We live in a two tiered justice system. I will be greatly surprised if any top level players get indicted, or, convicted. Barr and Durham, may pick off some of the low hanging fruit, but that will probably be the extent of it.

I see the Cantidates are touting Treyvon Martin's would have been 25th birthday, claiming him to be a victim of White Supremacy. So it's just a matter of time until we have another holiday along the lines of Black Monday. the only question is: Which white holiday will be eliminated in exchange.

Or, did we have a two tiered justice system that is now being fixed. (ie: who among us would not have been prosecuted for not using a government server and loosing >30,000 emails) Look at the people in Justice and FBI that were involved in Russia Gate/Crossfire Hurricane. Where are they now? Things are happening. Just not at the speed everyone wants.

How does Flynn plea on November 30, 2017, and the next day, the first traunch of texts between Page and Storzk come out? How in the next week is the presiding judge, Rudy Contreras, recused from the case? How does sentencing keep getting postponed for over two years? How does Sydney Powell keep getting new information to file with Judge Sullivan every time the sentencing is about to happen? Who is supplying her with this information? Could it be that the time is not yet right to start wrapping all of these things up? This information Powell is getting can only be coming from within the DOJ, to use against the DOJ prosecutors! By the way, I wouldn't want to be Brandon Van Grack right now. He has to be wondering where is all this stuff coming from and when is he getting nailed for his complicity.


The MSM is pushing fear porn that nothing is happening. This includes people like Hannity and FOX. Their job is to keep people mad and viewing the show. Look for people who are knowledgeable like Brian Cates. Reading a twitter feed is not always easiest, but if it is solid information, rather than fear porn, why not.

Oddly this just came out today and addresses the comments you made in the above post last night.

Why in the world would Trump commute the sentence of the Democratic Mayor of Chicago, Blagojevich? :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: Wonder what exposure there is to a certain US Senate seat that got sold.:sneaky:

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-to-commute-sentence-of-ex-gov-blagojevich-pardon-kerik

Trump commutes sentence of ex-Gov. Blagojevich, pardons Kerik


Perhaps I am a shallow thinker when it comes to pardon's and commuted sentences. I am not pushing anything as fact. Just interesting to contemplate:whistle:

Blagovich Chicago Obama - deBart SF Pelosi - Milken LA Schiff - Kerick NY Schumer. Just thinking our loud.
