Glorious pictures from the edge of the universe have arrived on Earth just when events here force us to consider the possibility that governments are run by aliens. They are so out of touch with common sense that they must come from other planets.
The James Webb Space Telescope, a wonder of human ingenuity, resourcefulness, imagination, and creative curiosity, is revealing the birth of galaxies to a world in which, by contrast, overreaching oligarchs and bossy bureaucrats constrict the actions of ordinary people trying to make their own lives and the lives of others better.
Much of the world groans under immiserating rules handed down by a “theory class,” even though they obviously don’t work. The accolade for the most disastrous policy outcome is hotly contested, and Wednesday’s grim revelation of 9.1% inflation shows that President Joe Biden’s spending agenda is a strong contender. But even that might not take the cake.
Worse, perhaps, are the results of hyper-alarmism on climate change. Excessive environmental policies are proving disastrous worldwide. Suddenly, all the green chickens are coming home to roost.
Intolerant “liberals” keen to “save the planet” are ruining it — officiously preventing the poor from lifting themselves out of poverty, forcing wealthy nations to retreat from comfort and efficiency into backwardness, even killing people by the hundreds of thousands.
Humankind long ago acquired the technological ability to thrive in all climes, but citizens of the most advanced nations must now check the weather forecast to know if their fridges and household lights will work or be shut down in an electricity blackout.
In Britain, overdependence on wind turbines built to cut carbon emissions leaves inhabitants at the mercy of the weather . When the wind doesn’t blow, the economy doesn’t work.

I am still alive at 75 years of age! I used to spray myself down with DDT insect killer to kill mosquitoes in SE Asia back in 1968-69.
Earlier, in 1956, we used to run behind the DDT sprayer to get cool along the Animas River in Farmington NM!
Best years of my young life!
The harmful effects of DDT have pretty much been debunked by now, except for the thousands of malaria deaths
that DDT could have prevented.
Roughly 2 million people a year die from malaria and dengue fever.The answer to your question is over 100 million people.
Yet another reason the wealthy should be prohibited from government.
Oil gone in 10 years.
__________________________
One of my great professors told us 40 years ago, that we always have only 10-15 years left in reserves.
Why?
Because it is not feasible to look for reserves further away!
It takes a lot of money to look for oil. There is no reason to look further than 10-15 years ahead! So, as we go, we have always about 10-20 years of oil left. It was that way 100 years ago, and it seems to keep going the same since!
