Following up on my talk on @KennedyNation about nuclear energy.

Nuclear is exponentially safer than fossil fuels, and this data is skewed against nuclear because many governments (like the US) make the creation of newer, safer nuclear plants cost-prohibitive.
The only forms safer than nuclear are wind, hydro & solar. Wind/solar rely on optimal weather, so they can't consistently sustain the grid. Using them leads to more fossil fuel burning to fill the gaps.

Hydro is safe and sustainable, but they can only be built in a few places.
This is one of those tweets that probably won't go anywhere because it isn't on a trending topic and isn't very sexy.

But it has a graph, and correctly uses the word "exponentially", and I'm happy about that.
This chart shows that nuclear also produces fewer greenhouse gasses per TWh than any other form of energy, including solar and wind.

Never forget that the @FDA didn't allow COVID testing for the first several weeks of the epidemic in the US, and then blamed you for the resulting uncontrollable outbreak.
The countries that have fared the best were the ones that had widespread testing and containment of positive cases in the opening weeks.

Here, we had American companies making COVID test kits, and having to sell them all overseas, because they weren't allowed to be used here.
And when they did finally allow testing, many states shoved the COVID patients in nursing homes, where the residents where exponentially more likely to die than most of us.

That's why the fatality rate was so high early on.

6 things for you to remember on this Holocaust Remembrance Day:

1. Power allows bad people to be monsters. Hitler on a cul-de-sac is a jerk that ends up getting shot for trespassing. Hitler in government sparks a genocide and plunges the world into war, killing 100s of millions.
2. A disarmed people are a vulnerable people. The first move any oppressor makes before victimizing his target is to rob them of the ability to fight back.

FUN FACT: Hitler didn't pass gun control. He targeted Jews using gun control laws that were passed by the Weimar Republic.
3. The infrastructure they use to oppress others will eventually be used against you.

Many of the concentration camps that were used during the holocaust were built decades prior to hold "enemy civilians" (refugees).

Turns out you can put anyone in a cage once it's built.

Seeing NASDAQ, banks, & regulators begin to halt trading over the Reddit WSB $GME stock rally proves that we don't have a free market.

We have a controlled market that is gamed to benefit banks and hedge funds, and if you don't invest the way they tell you to, they'll ruin you.
NASDAQ is basically "fact-checking" the $GME rally.
Wall Street: but what will this do to the hedge funds?!

Biden's order directing DOJ to stop renewing private prison contracts just means they're putting the prisoners in government-run prisons.

No one's being set free. The cage is just being changed.
And it doesn't even apply to the privately-run border camps because those are DHS contracts, even though those were the ones with the biggest problems.

For those who wonder if this somehow reduces lobbying for higher prison populations, three of the biggest lobbying groups in the prison industrial complex are corrections officer unions, prison construction firms, and prison labor contractors.

None of them are affected by this.

In order to not get banned from social media, I'm not going to say what I think is an appropriate punishment for someone who leaks their own children's nude photos on the internet.

They restricted healthcare workers & let your loved ones die.

They robbed you of your livelihood.

They ran up debt in your name & handed trillions to billionaires.

Now they dangle $1400 of your own $ in your face & say you have to get a vaccine that's still in clinical trials.
They don't know if the vaccine slows transmission or not.

They don't know how long immunity will last.

They can't even guarantee that the long-term side effects won't be worse than the effects of COVID itself.

But they'll prod and coerce you to take it, and guess who profits.
Don't take my word for it, look for yourself.

Here's one of the trials being undertaken right now, for a vaccine that's already being mass-distributed.

Time of completion, where they'll be confident to say it's safe and effective: 2 years from now.
