Things You May Have Missed

Have you noticed these extreme changes / disconnects with reality?

(1) Not so long ago (e.g., during the Trump administration), "isolationism" was a dirty word. But now that the Biden administration wants the US to be self-sufficient in things important to them, isolationism is a good thing. Perhaps that's because the US can no longer compete when the "free markets" are truly free, so we have to isolate our competitors (e.g., China).

(2) The EU is spending lots of money to get ready for a "hydrogen economy", but sadly there is not much hydrogen available to power it. And since they're shutting down all their nuclear plants, they'll have to burn coal to generate more hydrogen  ... which seems to defeat the purpose of changing to hydrogen in the first place. The US is going down similar dead-end paths, too.

(3) Some people are drinking raw milk in an attempt to immunize themselves against avian flu. And of course, "officials" are warning against the practice. However, some of the same officials are still encouraging people to be injected with the very spike protein which causes COVID-19, a practice which does not prevent them from getting or transmitting the disease and which as far as I know does not provide any demonstrable health benefit.
