“ Amazon Web Services announced Wednesday that it plans to invest more than $500 million in nuclear power for its data centers. ”

Amazing! So, while we peons are getting fleeced and starved for gas and oil, all the while having absurd solar and wind alternatives shoved down our throats, the elites decide to go PRIVATELY Nuclear.

We truly live in a dystopian novel.

That’s one way to set the mood.

Another is to recognize that eventually reality will out. If they actually get the permits this marks a re-start of the 21st century after our long pause with wind, solar, carbon capture scams etc. Doesn’t matter who builds the first reactor. Once it gets started we can be off to the races.

But our current government will find a way(s) to make it exorbitantly inaccessible to the regular citizenry, through massive impenetrable regulation etc. Only the entitled elite will be given the “deals” necessary to access it.

We’ve got to get rid of this government as currently constituted before it can be shared by all.

“…the empowering of a well-funded, unaccountable, and politically radical DEI bureaucracy, which rapidly emerged as a Stalinoid administration-within-the-administration, which cultivated student activists as a constituency-cum-militia to shake down bureaucratic rivals.”

Truly frightening stuff, more like a not-so-silent coup used to indoctrinate and poison the minds of countless young people. It’s been an actual Revolution overthrowing centuries of critical and foundational education.

I’m also quite surprised that New York Magazine even published it, but good on them.

Halperin is himself part of a cover-up even worse than that about Biden's cognitive decline: the one about the widespread covid-vax harms. It is a massive suppression permanently discrediting journalism, including in this case, conservative journalism. See my writing on this topic, particularly the recent essays, "The Purpose of Free Speech and Open Journalism," and "The Rationales of the Knowing Suppressors, Part I."

“Once again, you have to hand it to Trump: his greatest strength is what he motivates his opponents to do.”

Very insightful.
