The Latest Elon Bashing
I’m glad this guy’s not in charge of anything.

A Rant On The Sociopolitical Madness
…from Lileks:
I think a lot of people who lived their lives in a quivering state of imminent ecological collapse-panic have moved those emotions from that box into this one, and feel energized because the dread now seems even more imminent, and they have Science! on their side, and their enemies are all the right enemies, and this time they can make a difference. And it requires nothing.
I could get the Wuhan Virus (I call it that to push back against Newthink that insists the smart people call it the European Virus) and I could die. I know that. I keep that in mind all the time when I leave the house, and gather my tools and shields, and mind my actions with care, for the same reason I signal a lane change on an empty highway. You never know what’s in your blind spot

The Economic Catastrophe
This is grim news.
The destruction of the economy will kill many more people than the virus will.
“Social Distancing”
…is snake oil, not science.
I find few things more annoying than morons who couldn’t integrate a function or even solve a quadratic equation to save their lives telling me that if I disagree with them on climate, or anything, that I am “denying science.”
It’s Destruction, All Right
…but is it creative? I think it was much more damaging than it needed to be, and will continue to be so.

Before Colleges Get Bailouts
The Last Straw?
The vile woman who is responsible for AB5 may have just insulted Elon into pulling up stakes in California, at least for Tesla. The Democrats in the state seem determined to destroy the middle class, and in as nasty a way as possible.
