I hope you’ve all had a fantastic Thanksgiving and were not overwhelmed by the table talk. This is a great time of the year, even with COVID hanging around our necks. We now have a new variant designated Omicron by the World Health Organization but don’t let it get you down or add to your anxiety. That anxiety can lead to some peculiar behaviors, for example…
The way to deal with COVID anxiety is to get your vaccine and booster jabs. There’s all kinds of misinformation flying around about the vaccine, which is being process by people as the vaccine is dangerous . Here’s the accurate and succinct correct interpretation: the vaccine does not prevent you from contracting COVID it protects you from becoming severely ill; possibly succumbing to COVID. You’ll hear about adverse reactions, but rest assured that some people have adverse reactions to Tylenol, and other off the shelf meds, so don’t run out to seek psychological help; instead schedule a shoot the shit . Remember that a therapist is a jackass who majored in psychology so they could understand themselves. So, what’s a shoot the shit?
A shoot the shit is a social interaction during which any topic can be discussed. The participants don’t need to know anything about the topic, they’re free to make any unsupported comment, speak in uncensored profanity, insult anyone the wish or change the subject altogether. So, let’s shoot the shit.
I have a personal interest in the Climate phobia and the clean energy extravaganza. In past shoot the shits, I’ve expressed my belief that Congress legislates via anal extraction. Seriously, think about it. Who, with a measurable I.Q. would transition from fossil fuel power generation, which is producing electric energy 24 x 7, to wind and solar sources that are lower output and don’t operate continuously?
Now, try this one out for size. In-between his maternity leave, Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, while discussing gasoline’s rising prices says to the interviewer that when people transition to electric vehicles they’ll never have to deal with high gas prices. Secretary Buttigieg has no idea that annual sales of automobiles, light trucks and SUV are 17 million units per year. In 2019 there were 276 million vehicles registered in the U.S. Now, imagine that all those vehicles are now electric. Can you imagine the magnitude of that load on the power grid. Maybe he thinks charging vehicle batteries can be done by farting into a tank.
Further more, why are gas prices rising? Because there’s a lower supply of oil, so can you imagine what phasing out fossil fuels will do to national power generation and the cost of electricity.
Think about it folks, it’s remarkable.
Have a great weekend ! Don’t let the bullshit get you down; we’re a mere 22 days from Christmas.
