WASHINGTON, D.C. — Americans’ adoption of electric vehicles is proving to be slow, as relatively few currently own one (4%) or are seriously considering purchasing one (12%). Another 43% of U.S. adults say they might consider buying an electric vehicle in the future, while 41% unequivocally say they would not.

General Motors, actually Obama Motors since the 2008 crash, pretty much a bitch for the government, produced 76,000 EVs in 2023.  Even though there is no consumer market for EVs, they plan to produce 328,000 in 2024.  Whether the consumer wants to buy 2 left shoes or not, they think they can force the consumer to buy their shitty fire hazards. #opinion (and subject to dispute)

They plan to do this even though they can not actually procure the parts for that level of production.  Communist Central Planning at its worst or best depending on how you look at it.  And to support this imaginary production being forced on Bitch Motors (since manufactured 2008 economic crash) they have pushed the  price of their gas and diesel vehicles to an unsupported level so as to support their fantasy.

The new Stalin, Obama, pretty much knew there would be no market for a change over to electric cars since the consumers rejected them in 1935, and as part of his communist economic take over of the American economy, he with economic circumstance had the car industry to close down over 800 car dealership as he goose stepped to power.  His real plan was always to force Americans back into public transportation and to destroy what was not just a small part of the American dream to be middle class, the America automobile.

The plan was always to destroy the American Automobile Industry and not to save it.  But he had to be secret and conniving and the process had to be slow.  The communist have to inch their way to power so their victims do not fully realize what is happening until it is too late.

Although you will read different timelines since revolutions often begin way before history books even footnote their beginnings, the Russian Revolution and the communist take over of Russia began roughly in 1905 and lasted until 1924 when power was more firmly held.  And even then the communist did not hold power as firmly as they pretended.

Again Revolutions are often NOT clean and clearly defined and it is hard to know which forces are doing what.  Still it might be said that it took the Communist from 1911 to 1949 to fully take control of China.

So the point is that the communist are attempting to be much more methodical in the US and EU and are trying to avoid counter revolts that might set them back years.  But the larger point is that communism does not work.  And the people pushing communism must destroy the economy so that they can pretend they have the solution, when they don’t.

But back to the point of this article.  Electric Cars are not really being taken seriously by those promoting them.  They know they are not feasible.   It is about destroying the middle class automobile industry as part of the middle class dream.  Communist can not take over a country unless they first destroy the middle class.   And that was always the agenda of Obama and those who crashed the American economy in 2008.

The Federal Reserve took action in financial markets for a second day on 9/18/2019 in another attempt to keep interest rates from moving higher. It marked the first time the central bank has taken such steps since the global financial crisis 10 years ago.  And if you are trying to figure out what was going on when that happened.  Think back to 2007 and 2008. Yeah.

This from 2007:

The US Federal Reserve injected $38 billion dollars into the economy via temporary open market operations this Friday. This is the largest number of temporary repurchase agreements (specifically, one business day repos) entered into by the Fed since September 11, 2001. Back in 2001, Fed purchases of treasuries exceeded $30 billion for the four consecutive days after the collapse of the World Trade Towers, total temporary injections into the banking system amounting to a whopping $295 billion.

Back to 9/18/2019

The New York Federal Reserve said on Wednesday that it would inject $75 billion into the market through another overnight repurchase agreement, or repo, aimed at keeping the federal funds rate within its target range of 2% to 2.25%.

Cash available to banks for their short-term funding needs all but dried up on Monday and Tuesday, and interest rates in U.S. money markets shot up to as high as 10% for some overnight loans, more than four times the Fed’s rate.

The exact cause of the turmoil is unclear, but market participants believe a confluence of events conspired to cause the crunch. One, corporations withdrew funds from money market accounts to cover quarterly tax bills, and on the same day banks and investors who had purchased $78 billion in weekly U.S. Treasury notes had to settle those trades.

Another contributing factor is that the Fed’s efforts to shrink its portfolio means bank reserves parked at the central bank overnight, which can be made available to other banks if needed, are at their lowest level since 2011.  This factor in causing the liquidity crisis is probably the most troubling in that it goes to the heart of the idea that the Federal Reserve may not know what the hell it is doing.  Or worse, they may know exactly what they are doing, and they are experimenting on how they can temporarily tank the economy at election time to help get a Totalitarian (anti-constitutional) Democrat elected to office to the benefit of Red China and the certain US Oligarchs who owe a large part of their fortunes to business deals with Red China.

Even as the FED had to deal with a liquidity crisis, which may or may not portend something greater happening in the economy, the FED announced that it is cutting interest rates by another quarter point.  The action was approved on a 7-3 vote, with two officials wanting to keep rates unchanged and one arguing for a bigger half-point cut. It was the largest number of Fed dissents in three years.

Over on the guardian the headline reads, “

Adult performers picket Instagram HQ over company’s nude photo rules

 

But then later in the article it reads:

“In the large majority of instances, there was no nudity shown in the pictures. However, it appears that the accounts were terminated merely because of their status as an adult performer,” James Felton, the Adult Performers Actors Guild legal counsel, told the Guardian. “Efforts to learn the reasons behind the termination have been futile,” he added.

That suggests that people are not just being banned from sites for what they do on the sites themselves but for who they are and what they do on other sites and even in their real lives. Now mind you, it is true that a lot of adult performers use Instagram for traffic and to make money. Some cam models charge their fans tokens before those fans are given access to their Instagram or Snapchat accounts. That is true. Some may have crossed lines and Instagram may have received complaints. Though I think that is doubtful in many cases given that the banning was done in mass. The banning of many of cam models seems to be part of something company driven and not user driven.

I am reminded of twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, in an article, calling the internet a separate country. That may seem like a harmless statement within the context of the internet being global and without boundaries. It may sound like a harmless comparative statement. But the statement is not correct. The internet is a global utility. It is not a country.

The internet isn’t just a utility in the US or UK or Mexico or whatever. It is global. But then when you consider the large internet corporations are basically trying to write their own laws, create their own currencies, and are deciding who they want to kick out of their own “country” it gets rather scary. Why? Because the internet is not a separate country. People don’t live on the internet. They live real lives in real places and in many cases are trying to make money on the internet from their own home. The internet is a very important utility that serves planet earth. It is not a separate fucking country.

Now some people say the internet is “the Wild West. It has to be tamed.” First, again, the internet is not a geographic location. It is not a separate country. It is a utility and neither the government nor the Corporate Police State should dictate legal behavior when using that utility. If you are breaking laws there are already laws that can be enforced against you. Allowing the corporate police state trying to control the internet to write their own laws and use those laws to discriminate against people is NOT acceptable.

Imagine if AT&T  or Verizon were to put filter spyware AI on your phone.  Now imagine, if in conversation you are half drunk, get excited, and tell someone in a joking insult, “Yo, motherfucker, Georgia is going to beat Alabama hands down.  If you think otherwise, you can suck my cock.”  Now imagine if at that point the AI kills your phone and kills your account and the phone companies acting in collusion will never allow you to have a phone account again.  Now obviously AT&T and Verizon could get their asses sued off if they were to try such a thing.  Neither they nor their AI should be listening to your conversation or reading your texts anyway. But should Google or Facebook or Twitter or whoever be allowed to basically do exactly that and still be treated as a utility.

Some people will say that Instagram has the right to say what people can and can not do on their service. That is true to some degree, but if they police content on their system and say they have the ability to act as an editor and chief of the content on their system then they are a publisher. They aren’t a utility. If they are a publisher then all immunity from what users do on their system should vanish. They should be held to the same standards as any other publication.

Now you may not like cam models. You may thump your bible and point to the fact that there are local decency laws. Understand, Pinterest censored Christians by putting them in the same class as porn. (As I understand it, opinion.) So religious people should understand that when they are promoting censorship they may be promoting the censorship of themselves and silencing their own voices.

The point of the local laws is to protect the local streets and neighborhoods. The internet allows adult entertainers to make money, for the most part, invisible from the streets of your neighborhood. I would guess most people consider that a good thing and not a bad thing. Do cam models on Instagram intrude into your enjoyment of the system? Do preachers on Pinterest intrude into your enjoyment of the system? If the answer is yes in either case and real people are complaining (not hit brigades using bots or elite media ass wipes trying to gain control of the internet) then of course the given internet company has a right to try to protect the system for their users. No one is saying that don’t have right to remove hurtful, drunken post, from their systems that they have received legitimate user complaints about. But banning people from the site for things they aren’t even doing on the site and therefore can’t possibly be guilty of intrusive behavior as far as their offsite behavior, it is problematic. That level of policing people should raise the question to whether the internet company should lose their right to be treated as a utility and instead be treated as a publisher and subjected to more harsh laws.

The degree that internet companies act in collusion with their shared data to ban people raises very real antitrust issues. Especially when they are doing it to censor free speech and cause economic harm to small businesses with that censorship. It does not matter whether you are a cam model or a preacher or someone with a political opinion or yes, even someone overly excited about a football game, free speech is important. FREE SPEECH IS IMPORTANT.
