  The Cell Phone Is a Pair of Red High Heels ejcurtin     It is comical how easily one can be ignored for pointing out that new technology is dangerous and fetishistic.  So-called “smart” cell phones are a prime example.  For years I have been pointing out their dangers on many levels. To say most people are devoted to them is an understatement.  Maybe it is an exaggeration to say they revere them, but if asked, they will say they couldn’t live without them.  It’s sort of like saying I don’t revere my partner but couldn’t live without her or him.  Ah love! But what’s love got to do with it?  Love and romance are out of date. Sex is a just a quick fill-in when there’s a break in the technological action.  Creative and erotic energy is pissed away on trivia.  Being lost and confused and having no time is in. But only the latter can be admitted. Busy busy busy!  Beep beep beep as the eyes go down to the screens.  Thumbs athumbing or voices talking to the gadgets, while the busy beavers fo

Clearly Reality is Not Enough for these MORONS! Enjoy... ******* The Case for Wearing Masks Forever A ragtag coalition of public-health activists believe that America’s pandemic restrictions are too lax—and they say they have the science to prove it.

Getting exposed to the virus no longer meant that people needed to quarantine, either, as long as they were fully vaccinated and wore a mask. It was a big moment, and it occurred just as the Omicron variant was surging. Mindy Thompson Fullilove, a professor of urban policy and health at the New School, was livid. Fullilove, who is Black, has spent her career studying epidemics: first aids, then crack, then multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. She has seen how disease can ravage cities, especially in Black and working-class communities. From the

De-Globalization: New Supply Chains Are Inefficient and Will Drive Up Inflation De-globalization is underway. A key ramification is higher inflation. MISH APR 4, 2022 EU Existing Gas Supply The EU gets about 40% of its total natural gas supply from Russia. That gas gets to EU countries over existing pipelines.  Russia and the EU just finished an an additional pipeline, Nord Stream II, to supply even more gas to Europe. After Putin invaded Ukraine, the EU set a goal of getting no natural gas from Russia.  Proposed Gas Supply Instead of using existing pipelines over short distances, the EU wants the US to deliver Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) via shipment across the Atlantic Ocean to Europe. This is far more expensive and will require more LNG terminals. The US Greens are not exactly happy about the US fracking more natural gas. And how much energy is lost compressing and transporting LNG to Europe?  It's not as is Russia will be unable to sell its natural gas. Russia and China are bui
