The Laws of Economics are as immutable as the Law of Gravity, but few leftists grasp this fact. When it comes to the Democrats’ energy policies, I believe this immutability will finally be the Democrats’ downfall. People are reaching a pain point that the progressives can no longer deflect onto others.
Based on the progressive left’s detrimental influence on President Biden’s energy policies, the resulting accelerated inflation and energy-cost rise are very visible to average Americans. The administration acts as if there is no causal connection between the two. But what can we expect from people who work from feelings and not facts? Just like they are amazed when we defund police and don’t jail criminals and then crime rates spike. No connection.
One can postpone the fatal effects of violating the Law of Gravity by jumping from a high building (as opposed to jumping from a low one), but that postponement lasts only until the instant one meets the pavement. Believing you can fly by flapping your arms still ends in disaster. Thinking one can control economies, prices, and the environment by violating the laws of economics is just as mad. I compare economics to a water-filled balloon. When you squeeze the economy’s balloon here, it must pop out over there.
We see this in the Law of Supply and Demand. Shortages initially result in price rises and inflation, and things get even worse. Demand will be filled one way or another. For the right cause, say a short-term need to defend the US against an aggressor to protect us, citizens do make sacrifices, as we saw in World War II with rationing. But sane Americans won’t do it for progressive, leftist, or Marxist authoritarian causes.

The Iron Lady, UK Prime Minister Lady Margaret Thatcher (1925-2013), famously opined; “The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.”
If the war in Ukraine drags on into the late summer, gas prices will well over $4/gallon maybe higher is the war spreads which could happen.
Tucker Carlson had on an Iowa Farmer last night who farms over 16,000 acres, the man said, food prices will skyrocket over the summer because he was approaching planting season and the cost of diesel and especially fertilizer had exploded in price which cause food prices to skyrocket.
The longer the Democrats hold on to this Green New Deal fantasy, the more they will get hammered in November.
Hopefully the Republicans won’t snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
“But sane Americans won’t do it for progressive, leftist, or Marxist authoritarian causes.”
The Democrat Party is an alliance of cults. Abortion, Climate-change, Environmental, Gender-Equity, BLM.... What they all have in common is a complete disregard for the Law of Unintended Consequences and an ability to temper their behavior to prevent excess and damage to society. Something is missing in each of those groups. Probably a personal morality born of a belief in God.
The fundamental principle of socialism, is that the prosperous and productive are under an enforceable obligation to give to support “the poor and marginalized”. This sounds nice and kind to many people.
What they don’t realize is that, looking at the world overall, even the welfare poor in the US are wealthy, and that redistribution means that all of us become poor.
Democrats repealed the Law of Supply & Demand. Brilliant
One hundred seat pickup in the house on November 8, to last one hundred years (War room: Pandemic at 10am).
Starting Jan 21, 2023 (my dream sequence):
1) Donald J Trump becomes speaker of the house
2) Impeachment of both puppets Bidden and Harris.
3) Investigations of Chinese Wuhan Virus
4) Investigations of 2020 election coup
5) Arrest of Fauci and Nuremberg II trials scheduled
6) Arrest of all coup plotters foreign and domestic
7) Trial and executions of those involved in the COVID treachery
8) Trial and execution of all the coup plotters
9) The Democratic party is banned forever synonymous with communism
10) World peace is finally achieved
If you are gonna dream - dream bigly!
But they have mail in voting, “Smartmatic” and Dominion. The objective is clear, no more “the will of the people..” (we are all “useless eaters” in their eyes..)
Depends on the goal. If you wanted to destroy America, this is exactly how one would do it.
Will the perfect storm of events, real or manafactured, create more dependence on progressive leftist government? Never let a crisis go to waste.
The dims are trying to convince us inflation is prosperity.
No, cheap energy is prosperity. Without it, we are nothing.
“… bigly!”
Eeeeew
I doubt it. 50% of the population are complete morons.
I vote aye.
Leftists are the cockroaches of politics: they always survive.
Ronald Reagan took the nation from the pit of stagflation to economic dominance. Then the people forget and elect 0bama.
Donald Trump took the nation falling back into the pit and rebounded the nation.
Then the nation turned a blind eye as LGB stole the election and drove the bus off a cliff.
Yes, the American public will stomp on a hundred or so cockroaches in the next election or two; but they are breeding in every major city and school in the USA.
Progressive leftism only owned by the slow and no thinkers waiting for instructions.
Baloney sandwiches are now being served.
That will happen. Evil never dies or rests. Or it wont until after the Great White Throne Judgement.
