*As Big Oil Ups Donations to Dems, Biden Says Banning Fossil Fuels Within Next Decade 'Not Possible'.*

Plutcratist economists call unemployment "creative destruction."

In the 80s and 90s, plutcratist politicians said the solution for unemployment in the US was to teach Americans to be "more entrepreneurial". Kudlow is saying the same thing in different words. What they disregard is that starting a business typically requires an investment of capital, that investment is a gamble, and you shouldn't gamble what you can't afford to lose. Most people in the US can't even scrape together 400 dollars for an emergency; they can't afford to invest in the risk of starting a business.

Starting a business with a good chance of success also requires knowing all aspects of that business. Most people don't have suitable knowledge. And success for the business requires superiority or unmet demand.

The same Kudlow told the public in February that the novel coronavirus was no problem, while telling rich Republicans that no one knew how dangerous it was.

The US has sentenced protesters against nuclear weapons to years in prison for the symbolic "damage" that they did on a missile base.

I wonder what could possibly justify keeping them jailed for years awaiting trial. There was no chance they would fail to show up for the trial, if physically capable of doing so. It would have been right and proper to release them in their own recognizance.

The USPS, responding to a lawsuit, agreed to reverse DeJoy's sabotage of mail delivery.

I wonder whether they will get it all fixed in the 18 days before the election. This job includes installing sorting machines where sorting machines were removed — but they destroyed the old sorting machines. The USPS could easily fail to acquire replacements, especially if DeJoy gives orders designed to cause failure.

Biden's choice for Secretary of the Treasury is a plutocratist. We cannot expect him to do the most important things we need, such as helping to reduce fossil fuel use.
