Walk-in Open Border Idiocies

Many countries are saving money by cleaning out their slums, populated with unskilled, uneducated, inexperienced, socially challenged, crime-inclined people

With help of 1) privately financed NGOs (Soros, Hollywood actors, etc.,) and 2) the parasitic, criminal-infested, human trafficking infrastructure, to provide those folks with food, clothing, shelter, transport, etc., as they travel north for weeks, until they finally arrive at our southern border, which is welded open by Biden’s handlers, to enable those folks to walk in unhindered, unvetted, and be distributed far and wide. 

The total US cost is at least $100 billion for the first year, $150 billion the second year, $200 billion the third year, on an A-to-Z basis.

We could have finished the wall for one tenth the money, and have none of these society-dividing, unvetted, undocumented illegal aliens

 

The Statue of Liberty mentions “welcoming the poor, the homeless” made perfect sense in the 19th century with a rapidly expanding industrial economy desperate for uneducated, unskilled workers.

It is long overdue to remove those words and replace them with “we welcome the highly educated and experienced, and those with business ownership experience

 

Sweden, Germany, France, etc., after much travail, finally are moving to the highly skilled, experienced standard.

They found the present standard has caused major adverse effects, on their societies and cultures

 

Europe was sucking on Russia’s low-cost energy tits, life was easy, economies were growing, workers were needed.

With high-cost energy and high costs of climate idiocies, unskilled, inexperienced, cultural-clashing folks are just too costly.

Many of them, especially those with criminal records, will be send back to their original countries.

 

CO2 Emissions

The annual CO2 reductions by the EU/US, etc., are much less than the annual CO2 increases by China/India, etc.

That trend will not change for decades, because China/India, etc., are building hundreds of new, efficient coal plants, that last at least 50 years, and have at least 3 times more CO2/kWh than gas-fired, combined-cycle, gas-turbine power plants, CCGTs, which, in base-loaded mode, have efficiencies of 60+%

Russian Gas

Russia has the 56-inch diameter, 2466-mile, Power of Siberia 1 gas pipeline, capacity 61 bcm, of which up to 38 bcm to China.

Russia will have the 1616-mile Power of Siberia 2 gas pipeline from Yamal Peninsula to China, designed to deliver, via Mongolia, up to 50 bcm to China.

That means gas, previously sent to the EU, will go to China.

The EU will be in near-zero, real-growth mode, by importing LNG, mostly from the US, at about 2 to 3 times the price.

 

China CO2

China has the particulate and CO2 emissions from the factories that were once in the West.

The US climate idiots get to virtue signal, as they consume China’s products

 

Wokachusetts

Wokeachusetts climate idiots are proudly bragging how energy efficient/clean Wokachusetts is, after having closed almost all of its blue-collar industries.

Wokachusetts has a “clean” economy, based on higher education, hospitals, high tech firms, and tourism.

Mass wokies are so virtuous, because they have a low carbon footprint!

Mass wokies do not mention the carbon footprint of what we import from China, Europe, Mexico, etc.

Complain to enviro-groups and politicians about this absurdity, and you get ignored/blacklisted/cancelled/become unemployable.

Actually, I do not care about any carbon footprint, because CO2 is a very minor actor in the overall CO2 picture

Mass wokies get federal money to “welcome” illegal aliens

Mass wokies use federal money to house illegals in up-scale hotels, and feed, clothe, transport, educate, etc., them at huge expense.

The subsidized, lapdog media has been told not to call them undocumented, illegal aliens, but “migrants”.

"there are just two people in the Department of Defense who look at mergers in the defense base. You couldn’t staff the morning shift of a small coffee shop with that, and yet two people are supposed to look at the estimated four hundred mergers plus going on every year among defense contractors and subcontractors.

Four hundred mergers every year is a lot, but of course, that’s just an estimate. Why don’t we know how many acquisitions happen in the defense base? As it turns out, it’s an estimate because the Pentagon isn’t tracking defense mergers anymore. To put it in boring GAO-speak, Pentagon “officials could not say with certainty how many defense-related M&A now occur annually because they no longer track or maintain data on all M&A in the defense industrial base.” So the DOD is almost totally blind to the corporate owners of contractors and subcontractors, which might be one reason that, say, Chinese alloys are being discovered in sensitive weapons systems like the state of the art F-35."
