Unfortunately the delusional mental break from reality in California runs deep. People here actually believe that oil and gas is bad and that they can live without it.
Actually oil and gas is the best thing to ever happen to mankind, it's cleaner than any energy source ever known, and the gift that keeps on giving regardless of pop culture virtue signaling nonsense...and no, cupcakes, without it you would all be dead in a matter of weeks if not days.
What this means is any effort to take us away from oil and gas is suicidal by definition.
For now, California and Californians can believe the delusion. The denial of reality is strong in this generation. Some of our closely held delusions:
-food just appears at grocery stores brought there by magical Keebler Elves
-fresh clean water is a human right and is available like magic at every faucet (elf magic even in desert climates)
-we can have whatever we want as long as it doesn't hurt someone else somewhere
-there are "good" countries/policies and "bad" countries/policies. We used to be bad because we were brutal and built this amazing civilization, but now we are good because we don't do that "brutal" stuff anymore
-we can control the climate on a planetary scale by how we vote and buying a certain type of car or lightbulb
...and most important of all in California, how things appear on the internet is most important! We can be virtuous and make the rest of the world dig and provide us with that gross smelly bad oil that we seem to need for some reason; but we can replace it by banning oil and putting up solar panels (which oddly enough are made out of oil)
Did anyone ever even watch the movie "Mad Max beyond Thunderdome"?? Did you even understand the basic underlying premise? It was a very simple story. 😆
Perfectly stated, Mike. But, again, it makes too much sense... especially when up against stubborn, feel-good ideologies that ultimately end in failure. Still, they never learn. They just can't help themselves. It's in their genes. BTW, Love the "glass chateau" term.... even better than "limousine liberal". May I use it? John
Everything you said is true and makes 100% sense. Unfortunately, the voters that make up the Democratic Party are poorly educated, non-thinking mind numbed little robots and do not care a wit about facts. That’s the problem we have to get around before we can start winning back the hearts and minds of the American people
Zero Tolerance is the refuge for 100% shallow thinkers. It is not principled. It is just plain lazy. An easy cop-out for those who cannot hold two thoughts in their heads at the same time.
No more electing shallow, unprincipled, lazy thinkers whose own voting records prove this every single time. Elected office is for those willing to juggle the tough decisions; not just follow marching orders from their political bosses. Capps, Hartman, Lee all proven unfit for the task.
