From the old thread for anyone who’s a tankie-type:
Darwin Military Museum has just acquired a Centurion.
Some nice pix online of it reversing to its spot on the grounds under its own power.
From a Courier Mail article. Clearly their editors are idiots as allowed it to go up with the word experimental when talking about vaccine kids. They simply don’t care.
“The US has approved the Covid vaccine for its youngest and final age group yet to receive experimental mRNA shots in a milestone decision expected to be followed worldwide”.
Or maybe they figure their readers just don’t care. I suspect the latter. I have never seen the immunisation rates for the younger cohorts trumpeted in the same way as the adult 2nd and 3rd rates. Any parent getting a 6 month old jabbed is preaching to the converted.
Nuclear Ukraine?
Upon Ukraine’s 1991 independence, over 1,700 Soviet nuclear weapons were left on its territory. Ukraine never possessed operational control of the weapons, and all were removed to Russia
Insomniacs are easy to spot at this time of night.
Except operational control doesn’t mean what you think it means or meant to convey. It doesn’t mean Ukraine would not have been able to have understood how to operate those
nukes.

Some interesting stats that came out of the CDC about guns in America.
1. For 20 years, from 1993 to 2013 (period when the data was examined) gun sales increased by 56% while murder by guns fell by 40%.
2. The higher up the income scale, the less murders by guns
These stats and findings by the CDC.
Gun control you can support. Set an income floor and don’t allow guns to be sold to income groups below.
We all know what that means and obviously would not be something the Rats would support. As someone said, sometimes the stats take you to places you just don’t want to go. 🙂

Adam Creighton:
America’s economy: building back broke
“Build back better” was the slogan, championed by none other than US President Joe Biden himself.
The end of pandemic restrictions was meant to usher in a stronger, richer US, with more electric cars, less dependence on fossil fuels, improved infrastructure and higher wages.
“We need to build America from the bottom up and the middle out, not from top down with the trickle-down economics that’s always failed us,” Biden said in a speech in October last year, laying out his Build Back Better framework.
Build back broke, though, has been a better description of the post-pandemic reality so far as the world’s biggest economy teeters on recession and living standards rapidly go into reverse for the first time in a generation.
“We’re looking right now at a calamity, something quite unlike anything we’ve seen in our lifetimes,” Kevin Hassett, former chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers under Donald Trump, tells Inquirer.
The costs of the giant and historically unprecedented economic experiment that was the US (and our) response to Covid-19 – shutting down swathes of the economy and propping up households and business with money created by the central bank – are starting to emerge as the Russian war in Ukraine wreaks havoc on global energy supply.
Inflation has lurched to almost 9 per cent across the year to May, the fastest pace since early 1981 and more than quadruple the US Federal Reserve’s target level.
“It’s already entrenched; just a question of how far up it will go,” says Hassett, who has little confidence in the Biden administration’s ability to steer the US through an economic crisis.
The bird’s-eye view of the economy has deteriorated rapidly this year. The US stockmarket has tanked more than 20 per cent since January. This month, consumer confidence dropped to the lowest level since the 1940s, according to the University of Michigan’s closely watched index.
That’s probably no surprise when shopping, travel and home ownership have become a more financially painful experience.
Last week the price of petrol exceeded $US5 a gallon ($1.90 a litre) for the first time, more than double the level of a year ago.
Grocery prices have risen almost 10 per cent, including a 30 per cent jump for eggs, a breakfast staple. Airfares have soared 40 per cent in a handful of months. Rents, which have little to do with energy prices, rose 5.2 per cent across the year to May, the quickest pace in more than 20 years.
THEAUSTRALIAN.COM.AU02:37
Wall Street tanks amid recession concern
Most Americans fix their home-loan interest rates, but for new homebuyers the cost of owning a home has risen, too. The average interest rate on 30-year home loans – the most common in the US – have risen to almost 6.3 per cent, their highest level since 2008.
Meanwhile the economy, still the world’s largest, has started to shrink, declining 1.5 per cent in the first three months of the year at an annual rate.
“When you have decline of GDP of that size, then about 90 per cent of the time since the second world war you have had a recession,” says Hassett, a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution.
He suggests it is inevitable Australia will fall into recession too if the US does.
Inquirer spoke to three former chairmen of the Council of Economic Advisers, established by president Harry Truman in 1946 to advise the White House on economic policy: Hassett; Jason Furman, who held the position under Barack Obama; and Greg Mankiw, who was chairman under George W. Bush.
“A recession’s more likely than not,” says Mankiw, who thinks high inflation, something no one born after 1980 has any serious recollection of, has become entrenched.
“My best guess is inflation comes down to 4 or 5 per cent, and hovers around there for a few years.”
Furman, a Harvard University economics professor with ties to the ruling Democrats, is more optimistic. “Confidence is extremely low, but consumer balance sheets are very healthy,” he says, alluding to the pile of cash US households accumulated throughout the pandemic, thanks to the trillions of dollars in stimulus heaped on them by the Trump and Biden administrations. Consumption, which makes up about 60 per cent of the US economy and propped it up during the pandemic, has begun to wobble.
Last month, retail spending fell 0.3 per cent on the previous month, the US Census Bureau said this week. It was a bigger drop than expected, after rocketing up 8 per cent during the previous 12 months.
“If incomes decline by 5 per cent then for output to go up you have to borrow a lot or have a lot of resources from which you can purchase,” Hassett says.
“But people are running out of money.” Wages growth has picked up to 5.2 per cent but remains well short of inflation. And as real incomes fall, it’s inevitable Americans will buy less, while the Washington spigot has been turned off for good.
The authorities, who only a year or two ago were worried about inflation being too low, are fretting, understandably, about a repeat of the late 1970s when central banks had to jack up interest rates in a bid to crush inflation, tipping their economies into recession in the process. The Federal Reserve, spooked by much higher inflation than it anticipated, lifted its federal funds rate (equivalent to the Reserve Bank of Australia’s cash rate) by 0.75 percentage points on Wednesday to 1.75 per cent, the biggest increase in a single meeting since 1994.
“The US economy is in a strong position and well positioned to deal with higher interest rates,” Federal Reserve chairman Jerome “Jay” Powell said, suggesting the US economy would grow 1.7 per cent this year and putting as positive a spin on developments as possible. Yet only a few hours before Powell began his press conference, the Atlanta Federal Reserve Bank, one of the 12 members of the sprawling US central bank, updated its forecast for economic growth in the second quarter of this year to 0 per cent.
THEAUSTRALIAN.COM.AU01:50
Biden isn’t doing enough on economy, Americans say
The Atlanta bank’s track record, especially so late in the three-month period, is good, suggesting the US is, in fact, already in recession.
The jobs market remains the one significant bright spot in the US economy. The unemployment rate, after soaring to almost 15 per cent in the early part of the pandemic, has fallen back to 3.6 per cent, where it was in February 2020, when it marked the lowest point since the ’60s.
When interest rates increase, the economy slows, and businesses lay off workers, reducing demand for goods and services and thus inflation, so the theory goes.
“It takes a particular person to end inflation and I’m not sure if Jay Powell is temperamentally like Volcker, who, remember, was deeply hated, only a hero with the benefit of hindsight,” Mankiw says, referring to former Federal Reserve chairman Paul Volker, who induced two recessions in quick succession in the 1980s to snuff out inflation.
Thomas Hoenig, who was president of the US Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City for 20 years until 2011, is similarly sceptical.
“If the FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) follows past patterns it will tend to back off if the unemployment numbers get out of hand, and they’ll do that even if inflation remains 6 per cent or so,” Hoenig says. “They will be under enormous pressure to ease off.”
The Federal Reserve, created in 1913, is nominally independent but in practice is vulnerable to political influence. It has had a mandate since 2012 to keep US inflation at 2 per cent.
“The problem for them is you can’t say 5 per cent is close to 2, as you could with 1.5,” Mankiw says, referring to the Fed’s failure to meet its target even before the latest inflation jump.
The Fed, and other central banks, have a very fine line to walk: increase rates too fast and the cure becomes worse than the disease; not enough and inflation expectations become entrenched.
US consumers’ expectation for future inflation across the next 12 months jumped to 5.4 per cent in April, the highest level since the early ’80s.
“And here’s a chilling thought, and not just for the US but for Australia too, is that the central bank interest rate has to be above the inflation rate for the inflation rate to go down – think about that,” Hassett says.
In both nations that is far from the case, with real interest rates still significantly negative.
It’s easy to dismiss the impact of the seemingly small increases in official interest rates the Fed has initiated, but they can pack a huge punch when increasing from a low level.
Basic mathematics implies a doubling of home-loan interest rates will halve the sum a household can borrow for a given monthly interest repayment. When households hoping to borrow $1m suddenly find they can afford only around $500,000, the impact on asset prices could be huge.
US government debt, which has surged well beyond 100 per cent of gross domestic product, has another complication for the Fed.
“It will become a factor very quickly; if the Fed isn’t funding it then the private sector has to, so rates will go up, and that interest part of government spending could go up very dramatically,” says Hoenig, who later became vice-chairman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, an independent agency of the US government.
“There’s no immediate way of stopping inflation; you put all this stimulus out there, all this artificial demand created by significant increases in money printing – it’s going to take time.”
The Democrats, naturally, have been eager to blame Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, supply bottlenecks as nations emerged from the Covid-19 pandemic, and even big oil and shipping corporations.
“Some of this stuff is ridiculous,” Mankiw says. “Blaming oil companies for excess profits, it’s all politics.”
Biden wrote a letter to seven US oil giants on Wednesday, demanding they increase oil production to reduce pressure.
Even Furman, echoing the stronger criticism of Biden from former Clinton-era Treasury secretary Larry Summers throughout last year, agrees the Biden administration deserves at least some of the blame.
“Policymakers – via a combination of extremely expansionary monetary and fiscal policy – tried to push the economy past where it could go,” he says politely, recommending greater fiscal restraint.
Hassett is less charitable. “Right now you can basically go to Toys R Us, and go down the infant toy aisle and find a better president,” he says. “And once markets understand how devoid of talent the administration is, it’s going to be a very frightening time.”
In 1948, American diplomat and historian George Kennan pointed out the US had 50 per cent of the world’s wealth but only 6.3 per cent of its people:
“This disparity is particularly great as between ourselves and the peoples of Asia. In this situation, we cannot fail to be the object of envy and resentment,” he wrote.
The people of Asia have since become vastly richer and more influential, especially the Chinese. Last year, the US, with about 4.5 per cent of the world’s population, held less than 30 per cent of the world’s wealth.
But it still casts a long economic shadow, including over Australia, where it remains the largest foreign investor, even if China has become Australia’s largest trading partner.
“Countries around the world borrow in dollars,” Furman says. “What happens to US interest rates and US exchange rates and US GDP matter more than any other country in the world.”
Indeed, the Australian dollar is already languishing in the high US60c range, despite record iron ore and coal prices. Money is rushing back to the US to capitalise on the higher interest rates.
The two nations’ economic cycles have tracked closely in the past. Both responded to the pandemic similarly (massive central bank-financed government spending), both have record low unemployment, rising interest rates and plunging consumer and business confidence.
The best hope for the Australian and US economies might be the sudden worry about a recession. The economy rarely lives up the predictions of the consensus. “I’ve been around macro-economics long enough to know nothing is inevitable,” Mankiw says.
It is, jupes. We stayed there a few years BC in a little B&B. Parked the car in a cupboard up the road, trundled our cases down only to find our room was in a turret at the top of a stone spiral. The spiral had a handrail of sorts – it was a piece of rope.
Undismayed, the young lady at the desk whisked each case up at lightning speed as we gaped at her strength and obvious good humour. The view across the town and harbour from our little attic space was worth the climb. There is a church in the town that has an interior like an upturned boat. Also calvados. Much…much calvados.
On leaving, the Beloved refused to allow the concierge to take those beastly cases down. Untying the rope handrail, he used it to lower them down the spiral, re-attached it and down we both came.

Australia’s Energy Crisis Worsens As Gov’t Ask People To Keep Lights Off To Avert Blackouts (17 Jun)
Interestingly the cartoon is from the print version, so how that got into ZH is curious. And Aussie ZH writer?
Stupid iPhone tiny screen! Sorry I “reported” someone’s post and can’t undo it.
And?
The Soviet/Russian system allowed both centralised control of missile launch authorisation from the Soviet Premier and semi-independent release authority from the General Staff’s own Command Centres.
Here is my source: https://nuke.fas.org/guide/russia/c3i/index.html
As the source says:
Physical control of the unlock and launch authorization codes resides with the military, the General Staff has direct access to these codes, and can initiate a missile attack with or without the permission of political authorities.
The Russian General Staff has two methods for launching nuclear weapons. Following the American pattern, the unlock and launch authorization codes held by the General Staff at their command centers can be sent directly to individual weapons commanders, who would execute the launch procedures […] Or, the General Staff could direct missile launches directly from command centers in the Moscow vicinity or alternative facilities at Chekhov, Penza, and elsewhere. This is a remote launch of land-based strategic missiles would bypass the subordinate chain of command and missile launch crews.
Given this information, clever clog, can you really and honestly say that the Ukrainian government could never have operated those ballistic missiles?
Especially given, as per the wiki entry on the Ukrainian Strategic Missile Forces Museum at Pobuzke (formerly one of those aforementioned Command Centres):
After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Ukraine held about one third of the Soviet nuclear arsenal, the third largest in the world at the time, as well as significant means of its design and production.[1] 130 UR-100N/RS-18 intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM) with six warheads each, 46 RT-23 Molodets ICBMs with ten warheads apiece, as well as 33 heavy bombers, totalling approximately 1,700 warheads remained on Ukrainian territory.[2]
Anymore pro-Rus and anti-Ukrainian apologia you want to drop, Gabor?
And here is the source entry for that:

I do hope it doesn’t encounter a wind turbine. That would be messy.

The Audubon Society, founded in 1905, is the latest grisly intersection of three ineviabilities:
– Blair’s Law
– Conquest’s 2nd Law
– Iowahawk’s (nyuk nyuk) Skinsuit Law
inevitablities
I think that in the context of Hohols could never control their nukes (They was Russian!), so the claim they should never have given them up is invalid, and with a follow-up of muh nuclear codes! when it was pointed out that not just Russians served in the Soviet Strategic Rocket forces, it is thoroughly applicable to the argument.
Yes. Before Vlad Bae, Russia was struggling to keep itself together and economically afloat. Except where it could closely exert control (and really, Transistra is an oddball thanks to a rogue Russian brigade that never really left Moldova after independence was declared), its former vassal states were left to fend for themselves.
Hence the UN and US’ rush at the time to try and tidy all that mess up, before rogue states and folks with lethal agendas started helping themselves. There is a reason that most action thrillers in the period 1991-2003 were focussed around nuclear macguffins acquired by dangerous third parties from nonspecific-but-clearly-identifiable ex-Soviet Eastern European countries. It reflected the popular fears of the era.
In trying to dismiss me, you also clearly missed the bit about Ukraine being left holding most of the means of the Soviet nuclear arsenal’s production.
That means they could produce everything from the fuel valves and fasteners to the lockouts and safety mechanisms, and employed the folks who designed, engineered and used same.
But for the fact that the Ukrainian government chose non-proliferation between 1994 and 1997, no doubt aided by the expense of maintaining such a large stock of Soviet weaponry, in a limited economy an uneasy wider world and many promises of economic aid if they did, they had all the capacity to continue being a de facto nuclear power.
Stop making excuses for poor old Mama Russia- They left the kit and infrastructure behind when their latest empire collapsed. And a whole lot of people who knew what they were doing.
And trying to argue after the fact that Russia really held all the strings, (Honest! 🙁 ) is like watching a lifelong member of Sinn Fein with a family full of Provos trying to tie themselves in knots in their efforts to explain how the IRA really didn’t inconvenience the lives of the average inhabitant of Northern Ireland all that much during the Troubles. Honest…

From what I’ve read on it, the Soviet launch permissions were very decentralised. Those who could tug the string of nuclear war were quite low on the totem pole, because they didn’t have the capability to call home.
It’s very likely the weapon in Ukraine could have been used. Once they gave them up, after all parties got the assurances they wanted, I’m pretty sure they could’ve restarted so long as the personnel weren’t pinched by other powers.
Hell, that was pretty much the announcement at the start of the year, that they were going to seek nuclear armament.

1. For 20 years, from 1993 to 2013 (period when the data was examined) gun sales increased by 56% while murder by guns fell by 40%.
2. The higher up the income scale, the less murders by guns
These stats and findings by the CDC.
The same thing happened in NSW; from 2001 to 2015:
Licence holders increased from 180,000 to 217000
Registered firearms increased from 619000 to 850000
Every measure of firearm violence from suicide, homicide to armed robbery declined.
In the US if you take away black on black gun violence their rate of gun homicide is about the same as ours. In fact the rate of gun violence among black Americans is the highest by far of any ethnic group or nation in the world.
Except that it happens far enough away from the average lefty that they feel virtuous about it.
That’s the thing with lefties these days- If something they don’t like happens within their visual range, they fight tooth and nail to destroy it. But if they can’t see it, it’s perfectly alright.
This is why export gas and coal and iron ore is kind of OK, but the sight of a water vapour tower at Lake Liddell or Eraring induces apoplexy…

I might do some numbers on that later. Note also the truck carrying the hydrogen cylinders from point of production to aircraft. I wonder how much hydrogen that uses?

The nukes are remote controlled so can they be locked out remotely? There are more questions than answers and us thousands of km away haven’t a clue.
My mothers pretty crook in hospital at the moment, likely she won’t get through this, anyway she’s in a lot of pain, but the only pain relief is paracetamol and some tablet under her tongue once a day. She is in agony for much of the day, the hospital won’t give her strong pain relief as she may get addicted to it. Mum’s 87, in poor health and unlikely to survive, surely addiction to pain relief is the last thing they should be concerned about.
It wasn’t that long ago that you could buy Codral and strong pain relief from the shelf of a chemist shop, now there seems to be a concerted effort to let people suffer. I don’t get it.

Sfw, I don’t understand this attitude. Pain relief helps healing.
I have a bad feeling about where all this is heading. And by “all this” I mean the withholding of painkillers and the promotion of euthanasia because “excessive pain” and “dignity”. Palliative care shouldn’t be this way, and isn’t for many of the excellent and compassionate practitioners out there.
Bern, I think it’s more to do with the fact that:
a) Creighton is actually curious about the world — a rarity in an industry which the vast majority of journalists see as an opportunity to push an ideology that makes them popular among their Green-voting friends, but which the plebs are too dumb to understand.
b) He has an economics degree and (dare I believe?) understands that the Keynesian sheep who have overrun central banks and the economics profession have ZERO idea how economies actually work.

What you are seeing is the intersection of 2 trends
1) ‘Safety Culture’ – Governments job is to protect you against any and all harms (irrespective of any and all harms said protection itself causes – Exhibit A: the last 2 years)
2) The ‘Tyranny of Experts’ – you stupid proles are incapable of knowing what’s good for them, and its virtuous to force them to make the right ‘decisions’.
In short, we have been forcibly infantilised, even our 87 year olds.
Best wishes for your Mum sfw. Here in Carnbra we have no trouble with pain relief.
Now your talking.

Complicated investigations can take years for police and prosecutors to resolve
If an “investigation” can take years then there is NO crime .. just someone looking for a crime .. evidence does not take years to uncover .. it either there (for interpretation) or it isn’t! ..

Palliative care in its broadest terms, Roger. Not just “end of life”.
But yes, if it was true palliative care, pain relief would be a priority.
Of course the European Court of Justice will now block his extradition because that’s what they did to the Rwanda deportation flights. The ECJ wouldn’t want to be applying their version of justice unfairly would they? They’d never ever be unfair, not in a million years, not even to class-enemies like Assange.

But yes, if it was true palliative care, pain relief would be a priority.
If it was they’d still be using heroin.
FINA v the Trannies should be more fun than the wrestling.

You mean morphine? Quite so.
the hospital won’t give her strong pain relief as she may get addicted to it. Mum’s 87, in poor health and unlikely to survive, surely addiction to pain relief is the last thing they should be concerned about.
Yet if she was in a prison hospital (at any age) and denied pain relief the “bleedin’ ‘eart” mobs woud be up in arms and their media “maaates” squealing about “barbaric” treatment …. FFS!

There is no simple win-win solution in the highly emotional feud between inclusion of transgender athletes and fair play for biological female athletes, but FINA is prepared to be the first sport to tackle the issue head on.
It’s actually easy.
Just amend the rules to state that the sport is segregated between Y chromosome people and non-Y chromosome people.
Announce solemnly that the sporting body is 100% committed to upholding and vindicating the trannies’ identities as “women”, but that “women” and “men” has nothing to do with how the sport is segregated.
Sure, the Y chromosome “women” athletes will whine, but by doing so they’ll just make themselves an even more ludicrous spectacle than they are already.
You mean morphine? Quite so.
No, heroin. It is apparently better or so Mrs Eyrie R.N. tells me. She was involved with the last use of for medical purposes in NZ.

GreyRanga, Ukraine gave up all its nuclear weapons (to Russia, no less) for disposal between 1994 and 1997. And received many guarantees from Russia and the US alike over maintaining its sovereignty.
The warheads no longer exist. Which is why the statement that Ukraine would never have been pushed about the way it has been if it was still armed has remained. And gained greater currency since April 2014 and Feb 24th.

Trump Jr. Warns of Possible Blackmailing of Biden Admin — ‘Pretty Scary’ to Think About Videos that Haven’t Leaked
Donald Trump, Jr., son of former President Donald Trump, on Thursday reacted to leaked audio of Hunter Biden reportedly saying his father was politically influenced by “anything that I want.”
The younger Trump said on Newsmax TV’s “Eric Bolling the Balance” that it was “pretty scary” to think about what hadn’t been leaked yet about Hunter Biden and was being held over the Biden administration. He noted the United States under President Joe Biden was sending billions of dollars to Ukraine, where the younger Biden held a no-show board position.
“Our press won’t even ask do you think — like, us being on the verge of World War III — do you think our decision-making could be being influenced by the fact that there’s plenty more out there that we don’t even know about? I mean, there doesn’t seem to be an enemy country of the United States that doesn’t somehow have a Hunter Biden laptop. ”

“…the sight of a water vapour tower at Lake Liddell or Eraring induces apoplexy…”
Err, not to put too fine a point on it, but neither Liddell nor Eraring have cooling towers – they just pump water from the respective lakes through the power station and dump heat that way.
The “plug hole” at Eraring is quite a sight, and any fisherman on lake Macquarie knows exactly where it empties – good fishin’ there! The intake canal screens at the Eraring and Vales Point power stations are a great source of prawns if you know the right people at the right phase of the moon.
Bayswater (across the NE Highway from Liddell) has cooling towers, as does Mount Piper, but in NSW at least, cooling towers are not that common – there’s almost always a large body of water near the coal fields, and those cooling towers are big and expensive things to build.
Scale FYI: the “zig-zag” bit at the bottom of such towers (where the air goes in) is 4-5M tall.

Good job. The fucking arseholes in spring street forced people to be injected with experimental medication that didn’t work and now they’re having heart attacks.
I can’t?
Why not?
The first statement was aimed at Gabor’s assertion that the Soviet Nuclear arsenal was exclusively controlled by Russians (and thus Ukraine could never have used the warheads there, comrade!), when the Red Army military forces tended to homogenise its staff. Thus, Ukrainian troops did operate Sovoet nuclear weapons.
Second, the latter statement has 30 years of historical fact behind it. Just because Vlad Bae started trying to reverse the trend after 2000 and the old communist satellites remained bound to Moscow out of sheer economic codependency does not lessen this.
The True Cost of Solar and Wind Power? Having No Power at All
You’ve probably already been made aware of the predictions that there will be numerous electric grid failures this summer, even in areas not normally prone to blackouts or brownouts.
The reasons are complicated but at the top of everyone’s list is replacing reliable coal, oil, and nuclear-powered electric generating plants with far less reliable and less powerful wind and solar energy generation.
Saving the planet is going to be annoying, dangerous, and far less of a smooth transition than we’ve been led to believe. In fact, green energy fanatics have lied about how easy the transition is going to be.
CompactMag:
Renewables are the least reliable form of power. But because of subsidies, they can outbid others in auctions that are supposed to encourage competition and deliver value to consumers. Faced with this subsidized competition, traditional power plants can’t make enough money to stay online. When people describe the Palisades nuclear plant as “uneconomic,” that’s exactly what they are talking about. It was shunted off of the grid by these dynamics.
No one can be held responsible for keeping the grid running. Independent system operators, the authorities set up to oversee the RTOs, can’t tell power plants to keep fuel on-site or order them to prefer one type of generation over another. The federal government doesn’t allow them to, because that would create bias in the markets and entrench the “market power” of larger, more reliable plants. To work around this, various regions have created “capacity markets,” in which generators bid to be on call for seasonal peaks. But capacity markets often fail because they treat unreliable and reliable forms of power as if they are the same thing.
In other words, renewable energy generation is just another racket subsidized by the federal government. It’s not that there isn’t enough energy to generate electrical power. There’s plenty of oil, plenty of coal and natural gas.
But who can compete with subsidized energy like solar and wind?
Take the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO), which allocates power for the upper Midwest and parts of the South. It holds capacity auctions under which power plants guarantee they will be online during seasonal demand spikes—when everyone’s cranking their AC in summer or turning up the heat in winter. But MISO’s capacity market is horribly flawed.
For one thing, wind power is treated the same as power generated by fossil fuels.
Moreover, intermittent sources like wind are allowed to bid into MISO’s capacity auction. But wind is unreliable and can’t be dispatched—you never know when it will produce, and you can’t make it produce when you want it to. So, wind bids in at an average expected level of generation. A simple visual (left) reveals what a fatal flaw this is.
As Orr, the energy analyst, points out, this model assumes that wind will blow at 15 percent capacity. But there is no guarantee that it will do so.
In the end, it comes down to a simple, mathematical equation: will our company make a profit from generating electricity or not?
It should be noted that this is a feature, not a bug of renewable energy. Making it too expensive to use fossil fuels to generate electricity is part of the charm renewable energy holds for green fanatics.
The market will sort it out. In a competitive market for labour, go ahead and apply ridiculous employment conditions.
No employees for you.
I am a LEGAL immigrant – it’s why I’m keen on the Rwanda plan
By AMANDA PLATELL FOR THE DAILY MAIL
The asylum seeker was due to be on the first flight to Rwanda, having arrived on Britain’s shores in a flimsy boat after paying traffickers thousands of pounds to get here.
As he candidly told the BBC this week: ‘If I’d known about the Rwanda scheme, I’d never have come to the UK.’ And that, surely, is the whole reason for the project temporarily thwarted by Leftie human rights lawyers and foreign judges based in Strasbourg, who made sure the flight never took off.
It’s all about deterring those prepared to risk their lives by coming here illegally. About giving out the message that they will not automatically arrive in a land of milk and money, with unlimited benefits, housing, access to the NHS, et cetera.
The Government is determined that no one thinks arriving in Dover automatically means they have a UK meal-ticket for life.
And that is absolutely right. Let’s not forget how broken the system is. More than 50,000 migrants have crossed the Channel in the past five years, and the cost of putting migrants up in hotels all over the country is a staggering £5 million a day.
Of course, those genuinely fleeing persecution must be cared for by this country. Yet one of the asylum seekers due to take the Rwanda flight, a Vietnamese man, said he sought refuge in the UK because he was being pursued by loan sharks. Another that he needed to be closer to his sister.
We simply can’t let everyone in. A country is no longer a country if it gives up on its borders.

Also Dover, thank you for not reading any of the information Bluey or I put up about the functionally independent nature of individual command posts of the Soviet nuclear launch system before you jumped in on Gabor’s behalf.
The USSR’s system was never built with the same interlinking communications networks like the latter-Cold War US. Their technology level was never the same.
The independent command posts allowed them to respond to a nuclear strike if that central system was glassed in the initial strike- They never had the US military’s distributed proto-internet system DARPA developed to route commands around destroyed network nodes.

I Can’t Stop Laughing at Kamala Harris’ Latest Embarrassment
Imagine being the Vice President of the United States and not being able to fill a room.
If you’re Kamala Harris, you don’t have to imagine it, because, despite her position as Biden’s number two, a DNC Woman’s Leadership Forum fundraiser featuring Harris as the headliner had to be rescheduled because of slow ticket sales.
I bet Amber Heard’s number two would have garnered more interest.
“The event was rescheduled last minute for the autumn, when the event is traditionally held, after the event couldn’t sell enough tickets,” Status Coup News reported. “When the invites were sent out on May 5, it was hyped as an incredible opportunity to mingle in person after two years of virtual events and meetings.”
As far as administering pain relief, the other thing I would insist on is seeing the records of drugs administered. You might find mum is getting lots of drugs on the charts but none in the IV.
Nurse then takes drugs from cabinet for personal use.
Reduced inventory matches drugs “administered to patients”.
Sweet.
Except for mum.

If we fail to prosecute war crimes, the law is a ‘dead letter,’ says inquiry judge
By Nick McKenzie and Chris Masters
June 18, 2022 — 5.00am
The senior judge who led the biggest and most damning war crimes inquiry in Australian history has said that investigating and prosecuting war crimes is vital to preserve the nation’s “reputation and standing”.
In a rare public foray, NSW Court of Appeal Justice Paul Brereton warned in a speech earlier this month that Australian laws prohibiting war crimes “are pointless if they are not enforced, and a law which is not enforced soon becomes a dead letter”. He also flagged “the risk that national chauvinism might trump justice according to the international law of armed conflict”.
Brereton is a POS; and so are the authors, McKenzie and masters.
No shit, Sherlock.
It’s the parasitic corruptocrats that took OPM to put into these horrendously expensive unicorn power grids that deserve the severest punishments. They knew this would be a clusterfk with no return but enriched themselves eagerly at our expense while waving the Green flag of gaia.

What you witnessed was the correct protocol for disposal of already issued drugs. Just because you saw it done properly doesn’t mean that happens every time. What I am talking about is the initial issue itself. Does the witnessing nurse stand there and watch it hooked up to the IV then witness it going down the tube over the next 12 hours?
No.
Think it can’t happen and drug addicted nurses won’t go to extraordinary lengths to conceal their crimes?

From the link:-
“Dean previously entered guilty pleas to two counts of larceny for stealing painkillers, and prosecutors previously rejected his guilty pleas to manslaughter charges.”

My grandma had a fall at the age of 97, broke her hip and spent five hours in agony on the kitchen floor until a kid going home from school heard her moans via the open front door. She was delirious by the time the ambos arrived and her heart subsequently stopped at the hospital.
Three times the bastards brought her back, “stabilised” her …. and she spent the last 34 months of her life stuck in a nursing home bed with a hip that wouldn’t heal and her wits damaged by the heart stoppages.
All she knew was that she’d been cheated out of her exit from this life and consigned to a life of bored, baffled misery. She wasn’t the only one to suffer. Mum and dad, who were no spring chickens themselves, dutifully visited her every day, much to the disadvantage of their retirement plans.

That experts are necessarily objective is one of the biggest lies being pushed atm.

Rex you are now saying the Ukes don’t have any Nukes. Make up your mind. If the Ukes don’t have any what was the point of your comment about control being in the hands of many people. Seems a bit counter intuitive. Your carryon about Ireland indicates you’ve got a dog in the fight. Its hard to know what’s going on without facts, which are very light on the ground. Hand waving doesn’t make facts. I try to make up my mind about things based on facts not what I would like to believe. That is supposition. Unless you’re putting forward a theory that is based on facts its pie in the sky. you’re taking this personally which its not meant to be. There are far more smart people here than Rex or Grey. Opinions are like arseholes, doctors and lawyers provide opinions, doesn’t make them right, but as events have turned out recently they’re arseholes.
Good job. The fucking arseholes in spring street forced people to be injected with experimental medication that didn’t work and now they’re having heart attacks.
Of course these crazy mandates have to be lifted as they have impacted upon who can be employed and who cannot. Where did all the workers go? They are still around but not able to be employed cos’ of your farking mandate stupid rules. Same with the supply chain issues, but there are other factors at work there.

I’m prepared to be a bit Occam’s Razor on the shingles promotion in one respect: I understand the Federal Government through Medicare had a campaign to subsidise the rollout of the shingles booster, that may have been in the works before the link to the jab was apparent.
My Mum (late 80s) got a bout of shingles immediately after being Covid jabbed. So quickly that I wasn’t sure the cause and effect was in the right order; the shingles could have been coming on already. No other long-term effects, but the shingles has left her with slightly-messed facial nerves.
I’m more suspicious now.

On the other hand, from what we learned about the sloppiness of the US in Afghanistan, they probably can.
Unless the US is in flagrant breach of the NPT, those are under a dual “key” system (the key is probably a code, not a physical key), and can only be used with explicit US approval.
