It really is ending.

Biden’s Climate Fix
John Kerry
He’s back, in all of his tone-deaf glory.
Forget the fact that to first order, there are no solar-panel manufacturers here. Has anyone done an economic analysis of shifting from a high-density energy source to a low one? Kerry et al say that solar-panel production is the one in which jobs are growing fastest, but that’s meaningless outside the context of how many there are, or how low labor productivity they are in energy production, compared to gas and oil. It’s easy to grow something that is minuscule fast, but that doesn’t solve the problems of all the people Biden just threw out of work.
Gamestop
A good description of what’s been happening with the stock. I was discussing this with some other options traders this morning.

Stop laughing about this stock manipulation.
It could be a harbinger of things to come.

Suck it, Wall Street.

The Dunning-Kruger Effect
Despite its logical appeal, it may not be real.
Interesting.
Reality Versus The Narrative
We still don’t know how this election will end, and won’t until the electors vote. And no, Joe Biden is not “President Elect,” and won’t be until then.
The Election
Well, as we feared, it’s looking like another 2000. But despite Fox’s calling it for Biden, Arizona appears to be still in play. It’s unclear what this means for the Senate race there with the gun-grabbing astronaut. And with the Republicans keeping the Senate, Biden is screwed, regardless, and Schumer’s dreams (and our nightmares) of court and Senate packing are dead.

Massive voter fraud in Wisconsin?
[Update a few minutes later]
Yes, the Democrats are trying to steal the election in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.
[Update Friday morning]
Milwaukee officials have some explaining to do.
The likely large-scale fraud of 2020 calls way too much attention to itself. If the data I am looking at are correct, there are people on the hard left who may want to get caught. For them, a Biden win overturned by the Supreme Court would offer a whole lot more opportunity for mayhem than they could hope to find with a faltering old liberal as president.
Sadly, he may be right.

Larry Correia is…upset. To say the least.

The Lockdowns
Were not just immensely destructive to human capital, but probably ineffective.

The Lockdown
May have saved no lives, and cost many.
It’s appearing more and more to me that that was the case. It was perhaps the biggest blunder in human history.
