Liberal Privilege

 

“White privilege” is a distraction to the real elitism on the Left. Liberals can rant and rave about Trump or DeSantis or some other hobgoblin that the media has fingered. But if a MAGA  points out their hypocrisy, they suffer a serious case of the vapors. “How dare you question us, your obvious superiors?”

Well, you know what Pilgrim? The worm is finally turning … thanks to the “fascist” MAGA movement.

But, beware, we on the right are beginning to see how dirty our liberal elites are willing to play … using the DOJ, FBI and their media acolytes in unprecedented ways! The Dem jackboots are on … as a result of this new MAGA challenge to liberal privilege!

And that is just cars … add to this semi-trailer trucks, buses, construction equipment, farm tractors, military gear, replacements for diesel locomotives, cargo/passenger ships, jet planes (?), blast furnaces, etc. … and our electricity needs would far far outpace the ability of wind and solar to generate what would be  necessary.

Complexity

KISS — Keep It Simple, Stupid

Hardware and software companies … in particular Apple and Google …  are compelled to keep adding features to their already-complex products to the point where even the simple things are masked in mystery. This seems driven by a misguided attempt to capture and then upgrade customers.

At some point these technologies are going to be so top-heavy with features, that they will be crushed by their own weight.

(I actually feel that they have already passed this point … and their products resemble Gordian Knots that need severing.)

Afterward: Apple has made things so complex that they have to create “geniuses” as guides through the feature jungle that they have created. (I hate to think that this is on purpose? Steve Jobs would be spinning in his grave.)

Infrastructure Spending

 

Terminal E, Logan Airport

I recently wrote a blog wondering when the Biden admin was going to start spending its $1.2 trillion in funds on roads bridges, airports, etc. 

See: Today’s Poser. 

Well, Biden came to Boston today to brag on one of the first evidences of this spending to come. The following is a local news clip ahout this infrastructure.

Terminal E, the international terminal that opened in 1974, is benefitting from $50 million in funding. That money is being used for rehabilitating the terminal's ticket counter area, gates and jet bridges, improving energy efficiency in the terminal, replacing the heating, ventilating, and air conditioning system, expanding the baggage claim area and expanding the curbside to provide better accommodations to address ADA requirements.

Only $1,199,950 million to go …
