Trucker Convoy Is Making History
THe whole handling of the plandemic has smacked of fraud and misinformation from day one. The public needed an avenue in which to properly protest. This is obviously it.Right now, they have talked up a good war and it looks real enough to silence even politicians. We will never see this again. The current crop of politician have all been taped since 2001. When every crime is sorted out, so will the methods. No one will ever again cross the line. *Trucker Convoy Is Making History* *Supporters of Canadian truck drivers protesting the COVID-19 vaccine mandate cheer on a conv... read more
The Gold Rush Returns to California
Yes it should with a vengence. There is plenty of gold down there to go after. The big thing is that old time mining methods were generally pretty awful and we can vdo better. All mining has depended of blasting a six by eight and then timbering. However described a lot of waste rock gets hauled out. Now we can switch up to popcorning the rock. This allows easy gravity separation into heavies and light fractions. The heavies can be sold directly to smelters. This is coming and it makes rich narrow veins completely feasible without the waste. It will also suport thousands of... read more
The American circus is in decline, but performers thrive on TikTok

The US Refuses to Fall in Love With Electric Cars
We are used to driving long range often. This happens to be a high treshold for the EV. Not the same problem elsewhere. That is the cause of real hesitency. High speed charging can fix this. I have driven plenty of robust vehicles that could not pass a gas station. any range loss is an issue and that makes only the small compact transport units even now. It will still happen. An EV with a preternatuaral range will sell the most sceptical.

Why Aircraft Carriers Won't Be Obsolete Anytime Soon
*Sidharth Kaushal* *Aircraft Carriers, United States* Rather than being the centrepiece of a fleet carriers could well play a role analogous to the destroyers of today—supporting a nucleus of superbattleships. *Key Point:* It may be then that the carrier is not being rendered obsolete but is evolving (or regressing) into the role that interwar strategists had in mind for it—a platform geared towards spotting and perhaps providing fighter cover for a twenty-first century variant of the battleship.
