Rishi Sunak’s Britain

The Telegraph- Sunak is pulling the plug on the North Sea – watch UK oil drain away

The UK is, according to the Office for Budget Responsibility, facing triple-digit deficits for several more years to come. That highlights the case not for sky-high taxation, but pro-growth policies to boost GDP, making the debt more manageable by expanding our economy.

Sunak and Hunt have instead imposed the heaviest tax burden in 70 years – and who better to tax than those nasty North Sea oil and gas producers?

Climate Cult Great Moments In Socialism 25 Comments

The by now legendary corruption of the ANC coupled with its obsession with Marxist economics and class warfare has undoubtedly been a huge factor in the collapse of South Africa’s electrical grid, but the influence of the “green energy” lobby has a sorry role to play as well.

South Africa’s unwillingness to maintain, much less upgrade, existing electrical generating capacity has much to do with the idiotic belief that green energy can seamlessly replace it. But reality says otherwise.

The New York Times reports on March 14, 2023 that over the past decade plus, since the wind/solar fad took hold, the country’s coal power plants have been allowed to become “dilapidated” due to poor maintenance and disinvestment. Meanwhile, the focus going back as far as the turn of the century has moved to developing wind and solar resources to provide electricity.

Yes, after all of that effort, the wind generation is up to a full 2% of South Africa’s electricity, and solar 1%.

It’s Probably Nothing (Bumped)

Fortune;

US regulators were working into the night to resolve First Republic Bank crisis late Sunday after midday deadline passed for submitting final bids to take over struggling lender.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. had asked banks including JPMorgan Chase & Co., PNC Financial Services Group Inc., and Citizens Financial Group Inc. to submit offers, according to people with knowledge of the matter. Bank of America Corp. and US Bancorp were also invited but decided against bidding, according to the people, who asked not to be identified discussing confidential talks.

If no agreement is reached, regulators would have the option of seizing First Republic and taking ownership of the bank.

Spokespeople for JPMorgan, PNC, Citizens Financial, US Bancorp, Bank of America and the FDIC declined to comment.

Morning update @FDICgov: To protect depositors, we entered into an agreement with JP Morgan Chase Bank to purchase and assume all deposits and assets of First Republic Bank.

3 out of the 4 largest bank failures in history have occurred in the last two months.

Freespeechers There Goes The Narrative 36 Comments

Mainstream pundits typically dismiss the idea of “go woke, go broke” as a fictional concept that could never happen in real life. But for a bar in Indiana that decided it could dispense with insufficiently woke customers, it’s reality.

The latest statement is one of three that The Fairfax Bar & Grill in Bloomington, Indiana has posted in the past couple weeks, indicating that they are desperate to find the right messaging on the subject since they’ve been bleeding clientele.

Though it initially blasted social media users for flooding the initial statement with “blatantly transphobic, homophobic and racist comments” and claimed it was committed to not allowing “hate” at the establishment, the restaurant admitted, “With the departure of some of our regulars, we have needed new clientele, and you have answered. I’m not gonna lie, we still need more of you right now.”
