There’s no climate change. Renewable energy plants are too expensive!

Perhaps, but this one has historical roots. US oligarchs have been trying to shove Christianity down our throats since the Pilgrims and the theocracy known as the Massachusetts Bay Colony.

No, but thanks for that, if I see it in the store, I’ll give it a try.

Before I developed an intolerance to eggs, I liked bread, mayo, a little yellow mustard, and well-fried beaten egg (like an omelette).

You’re an optimist.

All men are equal, but some are more equal than others.

Dementia.

Each datacenter probably needs something like 35 square miles of photovoltaics. They’d be seriously large renewable energy systems. He didn’t do it because they’d have higher upfront costs than the turbines.

Musk builds electric cars, but doesn’t run his datacenters on solar-photovoltaic with battery storage?

Seems kinda like a pecking order. Target the young ones. And by prohibiting kids, you can ID everyone.

If the US had allowed Chinese EV automobiles to be sold in the US market, would Musk’s fortune be smaller? He’s diversified now, so probably less risk to him at this point.

Trump won’t respect the results of an election?

I never said you were in denial, I said I was reminded of that phrase. The unreliability of government inflation statistics is well known. Shadowing Reality by John Williams explains it well enough. He claims its a bipartisan effort which reduces fiscal expenses by manipulating the CPI.

Then run the numbers on a 60-hour workweek, which ups the yearly wage to $300, making $800 more than two and a half times the average wage. $28K in today’s dollars is still way too low to be believable.

I’m reminded of the Architects phrase from The Matrix, “Denial is the most predictable of human responses.”

That’s the civil war tax. The accuracy of today’s government inflation statistics are contested, for example see ShadowStats as an alternative (although it doesn’t go back to the civil war). Per the St. Louis Federal Reserve, the average hourly pay rate was $0.098 per hour in 1860. Assuming 40 hours of work a week and 52 weeks per year, that equates to about $200 per year, which means $800 was four times average yearly wages.

Today’s average yearly wage is somewhere around $60,000 per year. Multiply that by 4 and you’re at $240,000. I’m not sure I’d characterize that as rich, but it’s certainly upper middle class.

My point is that your inflation statistic of $800 in the 1860s being equivalent to $28,000 in today’s dollars is not particularly believable.

When the income tax started, it was supposed to only apply to the wealthy. Roughly 100 years later, Warren Buffet infamously said that he paid a lower tax rate than his secretary. So much for that.

There’s very little reason to believe a wealth tax would be any different.

Reading through this I’m reminded of Reclaim Democracy!'s Our Hidden History of Corporations in the U.S.
