Now It’s Getting Serious
Via Insty, news of a looming beer shortage:
Beer drinkers across the US are staring glumly into their pints, knowing the costs are likely to rise due to a nationwide shortage of carbon dioxide – thanks in part to issues at a Mississippi volcano.
The extinct volcano, the Jackson Dome, has since 1977 provided carbon dioxide to the food industry, among others.
Yet in recent months the supply has become contaminated due to raw gas from a mine seeping in, meaning it cannot be used in food.
You know what this means, right?
Or we’ll just have to get used to less-fizzy beer, e.g.:
And I, for one, think this would be a Good Thing.
Awful
In this silly article (don’t bother, you’ll just get bored and it’s the WaPo), some aggrieved Black woman concludes:
“A queen might be dead, but the legacy of white Christian supremacy lives on.”
To which my response would be:
“And what, precisely, would you replace it with?”
If one considers the possible alternatives (Black tribalism, atheistic totalitarianism etc.), I’m not so sure that White Christian Supremacy — as a form of government — is the worst of all the options available. Certainly, it was White Christians who first abolished slavery (of all people, not just Blacks) through the governments of Sweden, Denmark and Great Britain, to name but three. It was also White Christians who developed the Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution, without which very little of today’s civilization would exist. Heck, White Christian Supremacy even created equations like 2+2=4, according to this moron.
I realize that White Christianity is not without its faults and shortcomings — but once again, when one compares it to the other options, it becomes like Churchill’s description of capitalism: “The worst form of government, except for all the others.”
Ask me too whether I’d rather (even as an atheist) live in a White sorta-Christian nation like the United States vs. a Black tribal one, a Chinese totalitarian state, a Muslim theocracy or even a soft socialist country like New Zealand or Australia… and it’s not even a close decision.
Stupid bitch.
Basic Stupidity
Several of you sent me this lovely little bit of governmental stupidity:
More than 140 people experiencing homelessness in Denver will each be provided up to $1,000 in cash a month for up to one year as part of a basic income program designed to help “lift individuals out of homelessness,” the city announced last week.
The $2 million contract with the Denver Basic Income Project was approved by the City Council and will provide direct cash assistance to more than 140 women, transgender and gender non-conforming individuals, and families in shelters.
Civic altruism and wokism, all subsidized by taxpayer dollars. And I hate to break it to these Colorado morons, but “up to” a grand is going to lift precisely nobody out of poverty. It will, however, encourage more people in similar circumstances to come to Denver…
Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of socialists.
