USA 2020 Elections: Thread

[grarpamp]

No sane manager literally destroys their existing capacity
without first having installed and moved to replacements,
the US Admin is insane.
Remember Biden's Election Promise... "NO GREEN NEW DEAL!!!"
True, there is no deal being proposed, no actual plan laid out,
no apparrent public consultation coordination investment
etc across industry and consumer, just destruction.



Biden's "Incredible Transition": High Gas Prices, Supply Shortages
Part Of Plan To Unleash Green Economy

As Americans bear the brunt of a sagging economy, the Biden
administration appears to be  framing this as a good thing, believing
that citizens will be better off in the future if current supply
shortages and high gas prices spiral out of control.

The United States, according to President Joe Biden, is in the midst
of an “incredible transition”—one that will pave the way for a green
economy.

While the administration may tout the benefits of a sustainable
future, the question remains as to what will happen to average
Americans while this “transition” takes place.

More importantly, what’s the endgame of all this that Americans don’t
know about?

Biden, during a May 23 joint press conference in Japan with the
country’s Prime Minister Kishida Fumio, used the word “transition” to
seemingly admit that soaring gasoline prices are just part of his
administration’s overall plan for moving from hydrocarbons to
renewables.

“When it comes to the gas prices, we’re going through an incredible
transition that is taking place that, God willing, when it’s over,
we’ll be stronger and the world will be stronger and less reliant on
fossil fuels when this is over,” Biden said.

The comment seems to suggest that ensuring the country’s gas supply is
not high on Biden’s agenda, though the administration did announce to
release of 1 million barrels of crude oil a day for six months between
May and August.

Biden’s remarks angered some Republican lawmakers, including Rep.
Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) said the president is “painfully
out-of-touch.”

“The pain at the pump every #NY21 family feels is a direct result of
Joe Biden and House Democrats’ Far-Left agenda,” Stefanik wrote on
Twitter.

Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) also took exception, writing on Twitter, “the
only ‘incredible transition’ we want from Joe Biden is his transition
to retirement.”

“Every family in America is paying record-breaking high gas prices
thanks to @JoeBiden’s war on American energy—but the president doesn’t
care,” Scott added.

A day before the press conference, Biden’s top economic advisor, Brian
Deese told Fox News Sunday that the U.S. economy “is in a period of
transition,” when he refused to directly answer a question on whether
the economy is entering a recession.

“We’re moving from the strongest economic recovery in modern history
to what can be a period of more stable and resilient growth,” Deese
said.

On May 1, Samantha Power, head of the U.S. Agency for International
Development (USAID), told ABC that fertilizer shortages—caused by
Russia exporting less fertilizer presented farmers a chance to “hasten
transition” from fertilizer to “natural solutions,” such as manure and
compost, a change that farmers would need to “make eventually anyway.”

“So never let a crisis go to waste,” Power said.

Looking at the whole picture, it seems more and more the case that the
Biden administration officials are just letting these different
economic problems happen on purpose, believing that as these crucial
resources collapse Americans will be led to a world of green
alternatives.

But such a “transition” is no laughing matter, since these economic
problems look set to produce real world pain. The gas crisis and
fertilizer shortage are contributing to a global food crisis, and
these and other factors could soon lead to actual mass death.

The current wheat supply crunch is in a case in point. On May 19, Sara
Menker, the chief executive officer of New York-based agriculture
analytics firm Gro Intelligence, told the U.N. Security Council that
the world had only about 10 weeks of wheat supply left in storage.

“I want to start by explicitly saying that the Russia–Ukraine war did
not start the food security crisis. It simply added fuel to a fire
that was long burning,” Menker said. “It is important to note that the
lowest grain inventory levels the world has ever seen are now
occurring while access to fertilizers is highly constrained.”

Meanwhile, diesel prices in the United States have jumped more than 70
percent from a year ago. Further price increases could dampen the
economy since diesel is used in everything from cargo ships, to
freight trucks, to farming machinery.

The Biden administration has spoken enthusiastically about a future
with clean energy, such as when Vice President Kamala Harris in March
spoke of a world without hydrocarbon emissions.

“Imagine a future: The freight trucks that deliver bread and milk to
our grocery store shelves and the buses that take children to school
and parents to work; imagine all the heavy-duty vehicles that keep our
supply lines strong and allow our economy to grow—imagine that they
produced zero emissions,” Harris said during an “Accelerating Clean
Transportation” event.

Speaking at the same event, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg
claimed that electric vehicles will bring “cost savings” to Americans.

“Clean transportation can bring significant cost savings for the
American people as well,” Buttigieg said. “Last month, we announced a
$5 billion investment to build out a nationwide electric vehicle
charging network so the people from rural to suburban to urban
communities can all benefit from the gas savings of driving an EV.”

Taken together, whether it’s with food or with gas, it seems as though
many people within the Biden administration are pretty clear about
what they’re trying to do.

They don’t appear to be willing or interested in fixing things, when
it comes to the things that Americans all worried about.

Rather, it seems as though they’re planning for this—a transition to a
green future, to the system that they want.
