[22:50] IsambardPrince Energy costs bubble up into everything including the cost of bread at the store. [22:50] IsambardPrince The disaster going on in California right now is a thing forty years in the making that goes back to those damned ballot initiatives they keep having all the way back to 1988 that drove all the insurers out of the state and Gavin Newsom having them blow up reservoirs that provide fresh water and hydropower because some hippies are more concerned about salmon migration patterns. [22:50] IsambardPrince Whenever you get these "sustainable development people" you'll know it. [22:50] IsambardPrince They want the cost of living to go up to force people into poverty where they'll be able to afford less food, less energy, less coffee, less everything. [22:50] IsambardPrince Meanwhile, the rich fly one person per private jet to Davos to dine on. The finest meats and tall about their plans to make life shitty for most of the planet. [22:50] IsambardPrince The United States has never been a bigger mess than it is now. Biden and Trump were a one two punch that were like having two torpedoes impact the side of a ship, except that there are a few good things that will happen under Trump including ceasing our UN dues and pulling out of many of its bodies, expelling people who invaded our country to live off us and eat the food and live in shelters while the same government tells Americans [22:50] IsambardPrince to freeze on the streets of Chicago at night. And an energy plan. [22:50] IsambardPrince People on the left still think Trump won for no reason, including getting the popular vote, and don't seem to have noticed that other than Illinois, the House Democrats are almost extinct everywhere outside of expensive coastal areas with huge problems that spring for the worst local government in the country. [22:50] IsambardPrince Hiding the candidates and putting CardinB on the stage didn't really work for the Democrats, but they managed to blow through a billion dollars somehow, and they figured they'd draw everyone's attention to Chicago, with its crime and debt problems (typical for blue cities) where our governor bragged about his "billionaire cock size" vs. Trump's.
