THE MORNING RANT: Buck Shots - 9/25/2023

Monkey - Rodeo.JPG

Since the left seeks to ban everything in life that makes living enjoyable, it was inevitable that they’d come for our pets too.

“The case against pets: is it time to give up our cats and dogs?” [Guardian – 9/13/2023]

A person described as an “environmental historian” is quoted as likening pet ownership to buying love, and that’s problematic of course.

We are asking animals to fill a very human need, says Vettese: “People are looking for unconditional love.” But that love “is predicated on this absolute domination of the pet’s life – what they eat, their sexuality, their love, their activity – and you can’t disentangle these two things”. If pets had more autonomy, he says, “they would not necessarily have this unconditional love”.

Naturally, according to these people, pet ownership is also helping to accelerate the climate apocalypse.

Then there is their carbon footprint. While we are increasingly aware of how our diets affect the planet, Winters argues that we view our pets separately.

But to answer the question posed in the Guardian headline, “Is it time to give up our cats and dogs?” I will never surrender my pets, of course, but for the zealots who won’t leave me alone about their climate religion, yes it is time. They should be forced to surrender their pets, just like they want me to surrender my gas-powered SUV. If they won’t euthanize Fluffy and Scruffy to save the planet from imminent doom, then I don’t need to hear another word from them about my carbon footprint.

*****

Speaking of killing cats to save the planet…

“Brazil’s Big Cats Under Threat from Wind Farms; Jaguars and pumas face extinction in Brazil’s northeast as the fast-growing wind power industry frightens them off their land” [WSJ – 7/12/2023]

Particularly sensitive to changes to their habitat, the jaguars and pumas abandon their lairs as soon as construction work on the wind farms begins, said Claudia Bueno de Campos, a biologist who helped found the group Friends of the Jaguars and has tracked the region’s vanishing feline population. They then roam vast distances across the dusty plains in search of new streams and rivers.

The weakest perish along the way. Others venture closer to villages, where locals have started laying traps to protect their small herds of goats and sheep, often their only form of survival in this impoverished region.

The wind energy hustlers are willing to entirely eradicate populations of whales, eagles, and big cats to produce exactly zero kw of incremental reliable energy. But the greater the number of these majestic creatures they kill, the more “green” money they rake in, and the more the eco-religionists will excuse these senseless killings as justifiable offerings to their angry climate God.

*****

The propaganda regarding the climate hoax is unrelenting. Jim Lakely at the Heartland Institute had some thoughts about this this color-coded temperature map from The Weather Channel on September 19.

Weather Channel - Lakely.JPG


The Weather Channel is absolutely ridiculous.

Chicago, for instance, was displayed as red to deep orange. Warm, right? I can tell you from personal experience: It was “freezing” on Tuesday, September 19 in Northern Illinois for a day that is still technically summer. It rained all day and barely got over 60 all afternoon. I regretted not wearing a jacket to the office.

Take a look at Oklahoma City. A high of 82 degrees in mid-September is delightful there for that time of year, but The Weather Channel shows it as deep-red extreme heat.

*****

It is confusing trying to keep up with which eco-sins of the left are prohibited, and when.

Burning coal, as we’ve been told repeatedly, is very bad. Well, apparently it’s not bad if it allows for the production of electric vehicle batteries. A new EV battery plant (Panasonic) in Kansas is going to require so much electricity that the local utility is going to extend the life of a coal-burning power plant in Lawrence to provide the needed energy.

“Panasonic plant will require so much power, Evergy will seek rate hike in Kansas” [The Kansas City Star -7/20/2023]

In addition to a possible rate increase, Evergy will also keep part of a coal-fired power plant near Lawrence operational longer than originally scheduled, at least partially because of Panasonic.

The Lawrence coal burning plant had been scheduled to shut down no later than early 2024.

Evergy is also citing the Panasonic plant, which will produce batteries for electric vehicles, in saying it will continue to burn coal at a Lawrence power plant until at least 2028.

The irony.

And guess what, consumer electric rates will also increase because of the EV battery plant.

Evergy plans to ask for a rate increase in Kansas next year to help pay for the additional infrastructure required to meet the Panasonic battery plant’s massive anticipated demand for electricity…

Of course, once those EV batteries are being used to power electric cars, the energy they store will also be generated by good old-fashioned carbon and nuclear power plants.

Nothing is being saved and nothing is being gained, except that wealth is being re-allocated from common folks to the hustlers pushing the anti-carbon/climate scam.

*****

Enough about the climate hoax for today, let’s take a look at business and economics…

It is not possible to mock the propaganda media sufficiently. Remember how the legacy media was promoting “funemployment” during the Obama administration?

They are trying the same approach now with the inflation that is wrecking households and driving up credit card debt. [Warning – the link below is to the Washington Post]

“Credit Card Debt at $1 Trillion Is a Sign of Consumer Strength” [Bloomberg / Washington Post - 8/31/2023]

Wall Street Silver - Bloomberg - Record Credit Card Debt is Good.JPG

Yep, if consumers are maxing out their credit cards and paying 20%+ interest rates, that is surely a sign of consumer strength.

*****

The (former) top-selling beer in the United States seems to have permanently lost 30% of its sales after insulting its loyal customers and then making a cross-dressing man the face of its product.

“Bud Light sales still down 30% six months after Dylan Mulvaney disaster, drinkers ‘lost forever’”[NY Post – 9/09/2023]

This is a major conservative victory in the culture wars.

But did we violate any of our sacred principles by pushing back against the corporate left? Specifically, did we sully our own selves by engaging in ”cancel culture”?

No we didn’t. And don’t let anyone persuade you otherwise. Seth Dillon of The Babylon Bee succinctly explains: ”I didn’t see conservatives calling on stores and venues to stop carrying Bud Light. They just stopped buying it. They applied market pressure, but they didn’t cancel anything. It’s like the difference between changing the channel when a show you don’t like comes on and calling the advertisers/network to try and get the show taken off the air entirely.”

Seth Dillon - Bud Light isnt cancel culture.JPG


*****

Along those same lines, Target is in a world of hurt. As I wrote last month, the backlash that resulted from the retailer targeting children for its trans collection didn’t start until mid-May, which was halfway through Q2. (The quarter ran from April 1 to June 30.) During the actual “Pride Month” of June, the boycott gained intensity.

Target’s Q3 results (July through September) are likely going to be catastrophic, and the stock market has gotten wind of it. Having taken an initial hit when the boycott started, Target’s stock is in free fall again.

Its stock was at $169 per share in mid-April, before it plunged to about $130 per share in late-May when the backlash started. The stock hung around $130 to $135 for the next couple months, before starting a new free fall. It’s now trading at $113 per share, and pointed further south.

Target’s stock has lost 30% of its value in those four months. In dollar terms, the market capitalization (e.g. market value) of Target stock has declined by about $22 billion.

Target Stock trend graph.JPG

Well done, woke Target executives! You went woke and are going broke.

Target CEO Brian Cornell received $17.7 million in compensation in 2022. I wonder if Mr. Cornell’s bonuses for 2023 will be negatively impacted by his flushing away $22 billion of shareholder value (so far.)

I jest. Of course, it won’t affect Mr. Cornell’s compensation. An 8-figure bonus for leading Target through these turbulent times awaits him, dutifully rubber stamped by the Board of Directors.

*****

Speaking of CEO compensation, which I’ve been covering a lot recently due to the UAW strike…

George Will, of all people, had an excellent comment about the CEO compensation of auto manufacturers. He made the point that US auto companies have effectively (and willingly) become arms of the US government, therefore it is legitimate for the UAW to rail against the $20+ million compensation packages of CEOs who are effectively government employees.

[Double warning: The following link is to both the Washington Post and to George Will.]

“The UAW can strike, but it’s running out of gas” [Washington Post – 9/20/2023]

The UAW should propose that each CEO be paid $152,771, the highest base pay for GS-15 federal civil servants. This is what the CEOs should be considered, because their companies have become appendages of government, implementing its policies.

The executives of the auto companies are employing the “socialized risk / privatized gain” compensation strategy of too-big-to-fail financial institutions. The only difference is that auto company executives don’t even have to turn a profit to award themselves $20 million dollar compensation packages.

Throckmorton’s First Law of Live Music: “If there’s an upright bass in the band, it’s probably going to be good.”

It’s now officially autumn, and certain songs always seem to have more poignancy when the days are once again getting shorter, while reminiscence pulls ever stronger. This song is one of them.

Here’s the High Kings performing “The Parting Glass.”

h/t tip to “Shelby Foote Appreciator” (@NoJesuitTricks) who posted this video on Twitter with the line, “Out here feelin some typa way.” I get it. This song certainly captures a certain typa feelin’.

People who have studied the matter say that dogs probably domesticated us as much as we domesticated them. There's been a lot of co-evolution going on between our two species, so that in many respects we have more in common psychologically with dogs than with the great apes, who are supposedly more closely related to us.

I agree 1,000 percent. There are only 13,000 members in the UAW. That is meniscule from a voting block and economic perspective. They are not the 1965 UAW.

These workers are easily being replaced by robots and their jobs are being moved overseas.

Ha. I was *just* getting ready to link this in case you wanted to use it for a future post.

"At full production, the Panasonic plant will have roughly 200 to 250 megawatts of demand, according to testimony from Ryan Mulvany, Evergy’s vice president of distribution. The load is equivalent to that of a small city.

And house cats are in general only semi-domesticated. A healthy young cat, should it lose its human-supervised home for some reason, could make a living outdoors. Not as comfortable a living, but it could get along. Older cats, overweight ones, and longhairs would have a lot more trouble.

It's far more likely we could make a case against "giving up" biased, counterfactual, lying, intellectually untethered jackholes peddling conjectural liberal shibboleths long proven to be mendacious and tendentious expressions of their personal psychosis, general emotional insecurities and substantial lack of manhood, then anything else.

73 Amusingly, on the pet issue, the left sees there is a problem but misdiagnoses it.

The pets are replacing CHILDREN. We are designed to raise children and pour love into them. People have been told that everything must be about what YOU want and pets do not require the sacrifices that raising children does. So women are choosing to become "Doggy Mommies" or cat ladies and men are "Doggy Daddies" and the like.

But sadly, these people are going to find they lost something they didn't even know they were giving up.

But the left doesn't understand that. They must tie the issue into the Armageddon of their own faith: CLIMATE CHANGE!

Not the emotional shallowness and self-centered nature of replacing children with pets, which is the actual issue.

(Note: Pets are not the problem. Treating pets like children is.)

90 Interesting sign - there are tons of craft breweries in Portland, and a bunch of them are going out of business all of a sudden.

Reading through Portland Reddit, many people note that they can no longer afford "$8 beers" and equivalently priced food.

Nobody has yet made the connection that the minimum wage in Portland is now $15.45, with no tip credit.

I suspected that this would happen - that bars and restaurants in Portland could (barely) afford the minimum wage during good economic times, but a hint of a downturn would make the bars and restaurants unaffordable for a lot of people.

Pretty much a good historical reading of the situation facing Cromwell. He found many of his erstwhile allies to be amenable to switching sides if the King or foreign countries would fork over some money. The Scots were untrustworthy, the Irish were rebelling, and so on. Cromwell's circle of true and steadfast fighters became smaller and smaller as a result.

Not quite. EBT is the EBT of the working class. Welfare has expanded bigly in the past decade or so. A family of 4 with an income of $60k now qualifies for all sorts of govt cheese.

Credit cards are a bonus on top of that. Because they know very well they don’t have to pay it back. The only consequence is a bad credit score. Big deal. All a bad credit score does is increase interest on future loans. But if you never intend to pay loans back, who cares what the interest rate is?

And Biden is now punishing good credit scores for mortgages. Like all other things in America 2.0, playing by the rules is for chumps.

105 "We're up against some truly stupid people."

And mostly intellectually corrupt.

I got into an argument with a liberal who stated Republicans in NY were corrupt and lying about abortion in the state. When I asked what the state policy was, they had no idea. So I explained;
1- They completely took abortion out of the criminal code and put it into the health code
2- The general policy is abortion for any reason up to 24 weeks. That's 6 months
3- After 24 weeks the language was changed to the health and well being of the mother. Which isn't defined anywhere and subject to broad I interpretation. Since it is in the "health code" there is also no penalty or ability to charge any person or doctor performing an abortion up until birth.

Those are what we call facts, which I pointed to on the NYDOH website for context

They said I was distorting what was in the actual text. So I asked where? Which made them very angry and irrational. 🤦‍♂️

Did everyone hear that a girl made sports history by playing in a college game as a safety? ESPN:

"Haley Van Voorhis, a safety at Division-III Shenandoah University, became the first woman non-kicker to appear in an NCAA football game on Saturday against Juniata.

She came on in the first quarter with Shenandoah already up 26 points and registered a quarterback hurry on third down."

https://tinyurl.com/2d2sdfc7

Here's the fun part, though. People started noticing that she got put in when the team was up by 26 points, no one blocked her (a blatantly open lane after team-mates pointed out where she should stand), and the play she made was a late hit on the QB (he'd already thrown the ball) and her contact should've pulled a flag and 15 yard penalty.

It didn't for some mysterious reason, though.

I'm one of them, but that is a fairly constant expenditure rate. The problem is that CC debt is increasing sharply.

134 Credit cards are a bonus on top of that. Because they know very well they don’t have to pay it back. The only consequence is a bad credit score. Big deal. All a bad credit score does is increase interest on future loans. But if you never intend to pay loans back, who cares what the interest rate is?

And Biden is now punishing good credit scores for mortgages. Like all other things in America 2.0, playing by the rules is for chumps.

It's fairly easy to get bad credit taken off your score too. Everything is online now, so you can protest all bad reporting just by pushing a button. Half the time the vendor doesn't even bother responding, so the bad reporting comes off. If you hire a lawyer, your chances of taking off bad credit is probably 75%.

Don't ask me how I know. No, not me. But I've been asked a few times to clean up credit scores of ne'er-do-well family members. It's pretty easy.

144 The classic AOC demonstration of idiocy is that Amazon wanted too build a HQ in New York.

It was expected that Amazon would pay $20 billion in state and local taxes over the following twenty years, and Amazon negotiated a $2 billion tax break - so about a 10% tax reduction, so they would pay just $18 billion in taxes.

Reasonable people can disagree over whether the tax break was a good idea, but AOC and her buddies blocked the HQ, and then AOC went to Twitter to announce that New York now had an extra $2 billion to spend on subways and schools.

She sincerely thought that New York was going to cut a $2 billion check to Amazon.

Yes, but it worked, didn't it? She got what she wanted. I'm skeptical that Amazon truly was interested in building there, as opposed to where they really wanted to to be (DC). They sure abandoned the NYC plans quickly enough.

Which totally fucked me, as I'm an investor in a huge plot of land that would have been right next to their HQ. We were getting offers at like 50x at the time. I would have made millions. Of course, as soon as Amazon pulled out, the offers were all cancelled.

174 The left loved dogs...and vaccines. Could they somehow stretch their few brain cells to connect the two?

The inevitable rise of Rabies Babies (and kids and adults) in the U.S. This is not satire. Encouraged by hundreds of thousands of needless COVID deaths, anti-vaxxers are reviving measles, whooping cough, and polio to immiserate and kill even more Americans. Now we are reminded that true disbelievers spurn vaccines for pets, too.

USNews.com article “Anti-vax Trend May Harm Pet Dogs, With Half of Owners Against Immunization” says that 40% of dog owners think dog vaccines aren’t safe, 20% say they’re not effective, 30% think they’re not medically necessary. And 37% believe they could cause their dog to develop autism.


That's right...anti-vaxxers are going to cause a deadly rabies epidemic in the next few years.

How many Americans of all ages will suffer needless, horrible deaths, and how many more will they kill before they die — to protect dogs from autism? It sounds like satire, but it’s not funny and it’s not a joke. I predict a body count of hundreds of thousands within 5 years.

You push society far enough, you get someone like Cromwell.

Cromwell was a damn sight less brutal than Sulla but only one of those men ended up leading their society to a better place after their death--e.g. the almost bloodless Glorious Revolution of 1688.

Sulla's proscription made it imperative for the elites to dare and win power games if only to keep their own skin before someone else did them in. That is what materialism gets you. Very unstable politics followed.

208 USNews.com article “Anti-vax Trend May Harm Pet Dogs, With Half of Owners Against Immunization” says that 40% of dog owners think dog vaccines aren’t safe, 20% say they’re not effective, 30% think they’re not medically necessary. And 37% believe they could cause their dog to develop autism.

That's right...anti-vaxxers are going to cause a deadly rabies epidemic in the next few years.

How many Americans of all ages will suffer needless, horrible deaths, and how many more will they kill before they die — to protect dogs from autism? It sounds like satire, but it’s not funny and it’s not a joke. I predict a body count of hundreds of thousands within 5 years.

The old unstated rule of siege war was that if the town surrendered before the walls were breached, they would be spared the sack.

If they resisted, it was war to end. In at least one case, the Irish forces surrendered the town but still got the full horrors of the sack and Cromwell uncharacteristically dithered. I think one of the other cases involved some historical dispute over whether everyone in the town actually surrendered or some such. Been awhile so memory fades and you make idiotic errors.

Lose the animals but, behave well in the not too distant future, you'll be able to use the virtual reality headsets to see interesting & comforting things...until it's your day for a ticket to visit a zoo, petting farm, etc.? Nah, but it's probably their hope for change.

They also care not one iota about previously cherish wildlife and those communities affected by wind turbines, solar panels, etc. as they've been playing Noah's ark with breeding & sustainability programs that shall remain forever under their control. imho, of course.

262 RE: Internet assholes

I suspect that part of it is because it's easy enough to be a fearless keyboard "warrior" when there is little chance of anyone showing up on your doorstep and demanding satisfaction on the field of honor.

In centuries past, most of these folks would have been killed in duels for saying what they say freely now.

265 249 As a bookseller, I never banned a book from my store. I merely chose not to stock it.

Years ago, there was a science fiction bookstore in Portland that chose not to stock the "Gor" series, which had a lot of soft-core S&M. They were happy to tell you which bookstores in town did have it.

Gor isn't really good sci-fi/fantasy anyway. Or...so I've heard....

266 215 Man domesticated the Wolf, but the Wolf got something out of it too. Food scraps and shelter, some degree of safety. It's a symbiotic relationship.

=======================
Your point is compelling, regardless of who domesticated whom, but NatGeo claims dogs domesticated humans, and not the reverse. Whatever, as you say, it's been good for everyone.

Dogs domesticated humans.

If GlobalWarmingGeographic claims something, the opposite is actually true.

273 Yellow jackets built a nest under AstroTurf rug on my deck, so I can't use gas.

Got some of that jetting hornet spray and asked the guy at hardware store if it was "good for yellow jackets, too."

He said "No. It kills them."

Smart-ass.

281 Amusing that the single Montana town on that temperature map is Cut Bank, population less than 4,000. Historically, Cut Bank is a hard place to spend a winter. That won't change this year.

283 Time to give up your pets... ??!?! WTF ?

There are like a BILLION domesticated cats and dogs on the planet, are Climate Zealots seriously pushing for euthanizing them ALL FFS ?

284 If I'm going to be honest, having had multiple cats and dogs throughout my life, I'd consider a ban if it meant I never had to listen to anybody whine about their "fur baby" again. It's so effing annoying and probably coming from people who think abortion is a right.
