San Francisco: The Democrats’ Nirvana on Display

Baiting The Left Democrats 2 Comments

Dr. Vinay Prasad works & lives in San Francisco. Today, he provides an accurate appraisal of the failed leadership and policies that have lead to the dreadful state that is the city as we enter 2024. Past city leaders must be rolling in their graves as they watch the gross incompetence of the political leaders hacks in place now.

Any Americans who want their community to devolve into “Progressive” San Francisco should most certainly vote for Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom, and London Breed.

ESPN, the Worldwide Leader in Sports, was accused of attempting to censor ex-employee Sage Steele after the former on-screen talent voiced opinions that irked people at the outlet and supposedly went against company governance.

Steele appeared recently on OutKick’s “Gaines for Girls” and relayed how ESPN requested she stop tweeting her support for Riley Gaines, while ESPN and Disney voiced adamant support for the trans community and athletes like Lia Thomas.

Steele noted that the company’s politics eventually became a mandate for employees, placing her in her employer’s sights.

Steele said to Gaines: “I was asked to stop tweeting about it. I was asked to stop doing anything, saying anything about it on social media because I was offending others at the company. I made sure I sent up another tweet that night after I received that email because like, no.”

Reactors by the dozen

Their German neighbours may have shut down their last nuclear reactors in 2023, but Poland is ALL IN when it comes to nuclear power. They’re building large reactors, small reactors, maybe even some micro (not sure on the last one). But they are going to be building 24 small modular reactors of the same design SaskPower has chosen. And that number might go up. I’ve seen references to as many as 70 BWRX-300s for Poland. One thing is clear – the manuals will be written in Polish before English, it seems. Meanwhile, Saskatchewan will not formally decide to go ahead or not until 2029. I’m not sure where they’re going to get their reactor fuel from, but they’ll be damned if they buy a pound from Russia. That puts Saskatchewan uranium in good stead for the possible supply – and with the numerous large reactors planned for Poland, plus all the SMRs, that’s a good, new, long-term market for us.

Globe and Mail- Ottawa, we have a problem: the federal public service

A few days later, we were told that federal government call centres, with an annual price tag of $368-million, are not meeting reasonable service standards, notwithstanding seeing the number of full-time staff going from 2,651 to 5,610 over an eight-year period. And a few days after that, Canadians were told that there is a profound malaise in Canada’s diplomatic service.

Defenders of minimum wage hikes usually claim that businesses will either effortlessly pass on the increased costs or accept a lower profit margin. There’s another way to get around such mandates, however: eliminate positions entirely.

Pizza Hut is laying off more than 1,200 delivery drivers in California.

The layoffs, which will take place through the end of February, come as California’s minimum wage is about to go up by $4. Fast-food workers in the state are set to get a pay bump of close to 30% in April as the minimum wages rises from $16 to $20 an hour.

If Steve Guilbeault gets his way, every fire department in Canada is going to need a fleet of tanker trucks to attend car accidents.

Firefighters arrived to find a Tesla Model Y on fire, and troopers shut down that portion of Interstate 65.

Two hose lines were deployed, and it took more than an hour to get the fire under control. A total of three engines, two rescues, one ambulance, four water tankers, one squad, one brush truck and three command vehicles responded to the fire.

The Good Olde Days;

Over the past few weeks I have read Late Victorian Holocausts: El Niño Famines and the Making of the Third World, by Mike Davis. During my time as a scientist at the U.S. National Center for Atmospheric Research in the late 1990s and early 2000s, I spent a lot of time researching impacts of and responses to El Niño and La Niña under the guidance of the one and only Mickey Glantz. I was aware of the 1877-78 El Niño event and its profound impacts, but I never connected its significance to the contemporary climate discourse until recently.

Davis compiles estimates suggesting that more than 50 million people died in the mid-1870s related to extreme weather and climate — That equates to about 4% of global population. Today, that same proportion of the world’s population would be over 320 million deaths, or almost the entire population of the entire United States. We cannot even imagine this magnitude of human suffering.

The proximate cause of the 1870s massive climate impacts was a very strong El Niño even in 1877 and 1878, but that event was also perhaps comparable to strong El Niño events in 1997/98 and 2015/16. What accounts for the massive loss of life in the 1870s? Davis explores this in depth, and the simple answer is colonial rule informed by Malthusian impulses.

Down The Primrose Path

To the very last Ukrainian;

“War,” said British philosopher, mathematician and pacifist Bertrand Russell, “does not determine who is right — only who is left.”

Those words might be the perfect lens through which to view what probably lies ahead for Ukraine in the coming year as its troops dig in — and dig deep — along a front roughly 960 kilometres wide.

Beyond that front stretches a wasteland of occupied territory — the smoldering ruins of a months-long summer counteroffensive that fell short of allies’ hype and failed to dislodge the Russian Army from the 20 per cent of the country it occupies.

Behind it lies a war-weary population, growing domestic political anxiety and infighting, and international allies who have grown more capricious — even delinquent.

Oh, well – they’ll always have that ‘Vogue’ cover.
