Based on the Time Magazine opinion piece, “What Comes After the Coming Climate Anarchy?”, we may have reached a point where no facts have to be included in a climate fear porn editorial.  This is just a short introduction to the piece and the author.  I encourage you to read it yourself.

All told, there are now fewer compet­it­ive districts than at any point in the last 52 years. If the good news is that both parties emerged with reas­on­able oppor­tun­it­ies in coming years to win control of a closely divided House, the bad news is that they will fight that battle on the narrow­est of terrains under maps arti­fi­cially engin­eered to reduce compet­i­tion.

They say that like it was a bad thing. Competitive districts disfranchise the losers. Let me say that again. Competitive districts disfranchise the losers.

If you are interested in representative democracy at all, the ideal system is to put all of the voters from one side in the same districts, and all of the voters from the other in the same districts. That maximizes the number of people who are represented by the legislator that they agree with. (Oh, sure, politicians make a lot of mouth noise about ‘representing everybody in the district’, but only the simple-minded believe that rot.)

This is why courts are so fond of ruling that State X has to create another majority-minority district: They know that spreading out voters of a particular viewpoint so that they are the lesser number in a district means that they are effectively shut out. We’ve been fighting this fight since the Sixties.

The only people who profit from ‘competitive districts’ are the media outlets who get to report on elections as if they were horse races. “Can the dark-horse candidate come from behind and win? STAY TUNED TO FIND OUT!” That’s why you’ll never read an article in any newspaper or hear any opinion on TV regarding the undoubted virtues of gerrymandering.

President Biden stood outside the White House on Tuesday, celebrating what was arguably the best stretch of his presidency. He smiled. He basked, aviators firmly in place, in the sun. He signed his latest legislative priority into law.

“Decades from now, people are going to look back at this week — with all we passed, and all we moved on — [and say] that we met the moment at this inflection point in history,” Biden said, before signing a bill to boost semiconductor manufacturing.

That may be true. But they also may not remember it tomorrow. Cable news channels covered his remarks, but then quickly returned to the topic they had been covering before the brief Biden interlude: Donald Trump.

Clinton, who donned a bold pant-suit and jacket combo, discussed “the importance of electing Democrats with the strong support of Jewish voters” and “made clear that Democrats have a path to victory in November.” (Note: There is no evidence to support this claim.)

The Inflation Reduction Act would provide billions for Americans to modernize their homes. It’s a way to encourage mass climate action.

No, it doesn’t. What it does is say to a certain class of American taxpayers ‘Of the money that we would ordinarily confiscate from you this time of year, we’ll refrain from doing so if you’ll agree to spend it on certain politically-favored boondoggles.’ Does that mean that the government will therefore not spend the money that it otherwise would be taking from you? By no means! They’ll still spend as furiously as they can; they’ll just borrow it or steal it from people that it doesn’t like (‘the rich’).
