Why Did We Think Iran Would Keep Their Word?

I agree with Ben Shapiro that Iran violated the Memorandum of Understanding shortly after it was signed. That does not necessarily mean the agreement itself was bad, but it does mean Iran failed to comply with its commitments. I also agree with Shapiro's view that a more aggressive approach toward Iran would have been preferable.

Shapiro assumes that Trump's motivations are solely economic and political. This feels like a straw-man argument. I think Trump is smarter than that and would prefer to avoid unnecessary bloodshed.

I have a problem with J.D. Vance, who is more of an isolationist and sometimes makes statements that seem less than truthful. He could become president in the distant future, or circumstances could make him president much sooner. However, he may not be the right person for the job.

Everyone is questioning the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding, but the United States, as the more powerful country, holds most of the cards. It can impose whatever terms it wants on Iran.

Is Fusion power going to connect to grid soon after next year's demonstration?

Fusion is still pie-in-the-sky and a long way from being practical. Radiation damage to reactors is likely to make it very expensive.

If only we had an enormous ball of hydrogen to generate fusion power.

Solar power is reportedly borderline cost-effective. As fossil fuel reserves decline and likely become more expensive, solar power should become more economical. However, I’m not sure how long this rise in cost will take; it could be decades.

Installing solar panels on your roof can make roof replacement twice as expensive. Panels can also damage or overheat your roof, and storms could damage them as well. I would rather leave that to the power company.

The solar roof tile idea is interesting, but only if there is a shortage of land for solar installations. There is a great deal of surface area on roofs that we could utilize.

"Nobody Goes to Jail!" — Chazz Palminteri on the COVID Shot

Every conservative pundit has attacked the COVID-19 vaccines, with many claiming that they didn't work.  These are conspiracy theorists.   They are just trying to get clicks.

I've read the studies, and the COVID-19 vaccines reduce the rate of infection and transmission.  Problems with the vaccine are rare.  

People forget that in the year 2020 the initial death rate from COVID-19 was 5%.  Doctors eventually got that down to 1%.   You might have a one in thirty-two thousand chance of having a bad reaction to the vaccine like myocarditis, which is treatable, or a one in a hundred chance of dying from COVID-19.  No vaccine is completely safe, but you are much better off taking your chances with the vaccine.

If you think that Fauci should go to jail, what crime did he actually commit?

Why Oil and Gas Have Endured

The Fed, inflation and generational divide

In 2008, prior to the advent of “quantitative easing,” the M2 supply (a broad measure of the total money circulating in the U.S. economy) was $7 trillion … today it is $22.7 trillion. If you have a $100 bill in your wallet, $69 of those dollars were printed in the last 18 years, the other $31 were printed in the century before. That’s a lot of new money! No wonder there are so many more billionaires. The U.S. tripled the money supply.

And when the system is flooded with that much new money, there are clear winners and losers. If you have assets – a house, investments like Baby Boomers do because they have saved for decades – you win. Yes, inflation erodes some of that value, but in the past 18 years, stocks and home prices have outperformed inflation. Owning assets protects you against inflation.

If you don’t have assets (let’s say because you are young), that inflation raises the price you pay for everything, but you don’t benefit from asset appreciation, and incomes have barely kept up. In other words you lose. No wonder Gen Z hates the Baby Boomers. No wonder inequality has skyrocketed. In fact, inequality has surged more in the past 18 years than following any policy change in the history of the United States.

The number one argument against capitalism is that it creates inequality. Inequality created by successful entrepreneurship is good inequality, signaling opportunity and new markets. But inequality caused by inflation and crazy monetary policy has nothing to do with capitalism.

A Masterclass in Manipulation

Hank,

Climate Alarmism has become a religion.  I think that it is confirmation bias for the political left because it justifies authoritarian government control over the entire energy sector.  It was justification for Biden bragging about shutting down coal plants.  This is what the Climate Alarmist Skeptics are afraid of.  They don't want authoritarian government.  They want free choice.  

They also don't want the government spending a trillion dollars of their money to fix the problem until we are sure that it really is a problem.  When government provides incentives to do a particular thing, this is a form of coercion because it causes people to make economic decisions that they would have not otherwise made, and at the expense of taxpayers.

The actual temperature changes are not very scary and the public in general senses this.  When temperatures are not much different than they were in my childhood 60 years ago, I notice, and so do many other people.  

The data shows that it took 140 years for the average atmospheric surface temperature to rise by 1 degree celsius.  In short, these changes happen very gradually giving the people and the government plenty of time to adapt if we need to.

Saying we have a large number of record warm days sounds scary, but when those records are by 0.01 or 0.02 degrees, we are clearly being manipulated by graphs that resemble a hockey stick.

Apparently, the somewhat questionable need for massive AI datacenters is causing the country to not worry so much about our energy usage and climate change.  

I think that humans have a psychological need to worry about something.  The boogey man of the day could be government, corporations, or climate change, but it feels like much ado about nothing.

I always enjoy your videos.

Best wishes,

John Coffey

It is possible that the COVID-19 virus came from a lab leak.  Reportedly, it is less likely that it came from Gain of Function research, but on both points we don't have enough evidence.  We are in the dark.

Much speculation has been made about a relatively small U.S. grant to the Wuhan lab to catalogue bat viruses that had nothing to do with Gain of Function Research.  However, we have no evidence about what the Chinese researchers may have otherwise been up to.

Parts of the article are factual, but it is constantly engaging in emotionally tinged conspiratorial language.  These are speculations and I do not accept them as fact until we have more evidence.  What is described as a coverup may have only been scientists defending what they thought was correct.  Some of this was very likely CYA because scientists didn't want their research grants denied because of false claims.

Maybe the full truth will eventually come out or maybe it won't.  I see at least three possibilities...

1. The virus came from a natural source, either mutating before or after it infected humans.

 2. Since the Wuhan lab was cataloguing natural viruses, with the intent of finding ones dangerous to humans, the lab leak theory is plausible.  I heard a report of researchers getting sick after collecting bat viruses from a remote cave.

3. The Wuhan lab was working on Gain of Function Research that leaked. One of the lab's scientists was quoted as feeling relieved that COVID-19 was not related to her research viruses.*

* However, we have no way of knowing if this claim is true.
