I am enjoying his clear thinking.
Phony? I think these assholes are as authentic SJW as it gets! The entire idea of "social justice" is just marxist dribble to twist conversations and call everything racist, sexist, and homophobic.
Otherwise, I am enjoying the show. :)

I think he means SJWs are phonies, but yeah.

since 2008, at least, fed reserve has been bailing out corporations with TARP. Capitalism doesn't matter. We say woke = broke which is true but then they get bailed out.
Yeah - whenever I hear "Get woke, go broke" I cringe.
In 2008 we shifted over from a rigged market to an outright managed economy. Prior to 2008 there was still a fair chance the government would let a company go bankrupt. I remember ENRON when I was a young man. Despite their close connections to the white house not even the Bush administration dared to bail them out or protect their executives from prosecution.
2008 changed everything.
We could debate until we're blue in the face about exactly when the last time there was a reasonably free market. Some might say 1913 with the federal reserve. Others might say the great war when the allies and central powers decided to pay for the war on credit which put a Rothschild boot on the throats of the worlds wealthiest nations. After the great war you have the rise of what James Burnham called the "managerial regime" - FDR, Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin. Maybe the second world war and the creation of the permanent security state or maybe as late as 1971 when the gold window was closed.
Now I don't think it matters how bad things got, the large corporations, banks and investment firms would never be allowed to go under. It would get to a completely absurd situation you had in dark age and medieval Europe with the amount of tin pot monarchs who still laid claim to the title "emperor or Rome" even though the Romans had been gone for hundreds of years. Look at Zimbabwe - the country doesn't even have a currency. People use foreign currency and barter in biro pens, cigarettes and lighters when they lack change but at the end of the day ZANU PF still have the army and police to maintain their grip over key institutions and the handful of economic operations that can generate hard currency.
The government went full kleptocracy in 2008. And the people started organizing in 2012 to do something about it. That's when the propaganda hit and enough of the idiots turned against their fellow tax cattle and the whole world went mad.
Occupy Wall Street got going in September of 2011: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupy_Wall_Street.
In February 2012, George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin were used to change the subject: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Trayvon_Martin
Occupy Wall Street definitely scared the elites but it was very quickly infiltrated and subverted. The tea party was just greedy boomers who wanted to hold onto all the socialist goodies they had coming but would foam at the mouth and scream communism if millennials asked for any help.
Interesting that SEC has some proposed rules in works for ESG reporting for publicly traded companies.
More nonsense.
I smell a Disney bailout...
I'm sure it's ongoing
"But but but Lin Wood said-" slaps face " shut the fuck up about Lin Wood. All he's done is run his mouth. He's done fuck all except throw shade where it's not needed. Until Elon is tried and convicted, Lin is just noise and hearsay.
Thatβs fake news.
Congrats, you got played
No not exactly. But you can research that on your own.
What is worth noting is Sandman dropped him and he's been nothing but talk. I haven't seen his reputation supported by any results that people assume are all true.
Sure he words well. So too did the cabal at one point. I agree that he's not a great reference for anything overall. Just another talking head.
@ Burrito_Bandito - No he didn't
It is a scam and Tesla is no environmentally friendly business! LOL
Elon is playing them.
It's all scams. The ESG score is at best just a common description covering many of them. Green initiatives scams, CRT scams, and even engineering standards are scams.
With the engineering standards, some examples I can think of;
LEED construction standard - The goal is to reduce the carbon footprint of new construction. So, you think they are reducing energy consumption and increasing efficiency, which is fine in theory. In practice, they would consider a product that is 2-3X the materials (copper, steel, aluminum, etc) in order to reduce the size of the pump to use less current... that is efficient ONLY if you are looking at electrical usage, not the energy required to mine, form, and assemble the equipment. Further, with all the necessary monitoring equipment, scanners, sensors, etc, and by piling more pieces of smaller equipment instead of larger equipment in lower quantities, each piece of equipment might be more efficient, but the end is that the building would use significantly more power than without implementing that standard.
General electrical standards have done similarly; it used to be a closed 3-phase system (delta), but now the new standards require a grounded neutral because that was the easiest way to deal with the harmonics that come from electronics. In effect, the electrical grid is being converted into a giant antenna system. (I hope I'm explaining this properly, my work isn't at grid-scale, just hoping I don't get schooled)
One thing I have noticed about America is your use of wooden construction. I know wood is a renewable resource in theory but I have to wonder at the lifespan of a lot of the new construction, here in the UK we mainly use brick/breeze block construction. I grew up in a Victorian house which was built in the 1870's. It had a lot of issues. As far as we could tell it hadn't had any major work done on it since before the second world war besides possibly having the slate roof replaced with concrete tiles in the late 1970's. My dad and me spent a decade refurbishing it. In theory I see no reason after our work it shouldn't last another 130 years. The only major work it might need is probably replacing its current concrete roof tiles - possibly some time around 2040. The current electrics and plumbing in it should last into the 2070's.
The other thing I would give brick construction over wooden is greater thermal mass, maybe not quite as warm but in hot weather much more temperature stable. Without air conditioning even in 30 degree weather the downstairs in my old house would be quite comfortable. Almost no one has air conditioning in Europe except for commercial buildings.
If I were looking to reduce emissions from building I would build everything to last out of high quality materials. Bricks may take more energy to manufacture and transport but a brick building will last hundreds of years if looked after and create a more temperature stable environment.
In the US you could probably save copper for your electrical installations by taking a leaf out of our regulations. We use 240V ring mains in most domestic situations. Sometimes you see radial circuits as "ad ons" after the fact. It was set up that way after the war to save copper because it was being rationed.
You raise some good issues and will be speaking out of school since I know little about building materials.
I agree that building materials are really more about cheapness, availability, and ease of construction than any other consideration. The common argument is that those older construction methods would simply be too expensive to be practical.
One thing I do know is that anything less than 4 stories tall can be made of wood and larger is steel and concrete.
You are correct, by increasing the voltage you lower current and can keep copper thinner. That itself is on the low end of the issues with the standards (even though a lot of the standards do represent legitimate guidelines for safety, I was referring more to the current trends).
The way those trends are going, HVAC will start to not be feasible in about 10-15 years.... at a point you can't squeeze more energy out of a system than is put into it.
This ties to the concept of the educated idiots.
It was never weaponised by then, it was created by them
NOTICE THE FANCY HYPNOTISM WORD
GOVERNANCE
Nations have governments. Government is a known [albeit evil] quantity. They have official duties that are written and verifiable.
The left is sick of various local, state, and national governments. It makes their control of the planet too clunky. They want one single controlling body to rule over all.
GOVERNANCE pertains not to nations, but to an overarching central command structure. "Governance" is a vague descriptive word lacking the strict official written duties of actual government.
Formally, it's "an action or manner of governing." Informally, it describes the act of forcing or compelling humans to behave in certain ways (like wearing muzzles, shutting down their businesses, or using made-up pronouns) without having the actual authority to do so. I believe it is intended eventually to supersede governments.
Very often the word GOVERNANCE is preceded by GLOBAL or WORLD. This tells you all you need to know.
MSM and other left-wing orgs using it daily is designed to get people used to hearing and using it as it slowly, imperceptibly replaces their actual elected governments.
Don't let [them] get away with this communistic verbal psychological manipulation. Refer to government, which you can hold accountable.

ESG is a bigger hsakedown scam than the efficiency ratings on power supplies.
Most letter agencies are.
He has a black belt in meme
Exxon is a leader in environmental awareness of how they've historically f'ed up Alaska to not go into detail on the world's oceans.
If you want to learn more, watch this documentary It's primarily about Blackrock/Vanguard and how they took over the world, but also talks about Larry Fink used ESG and goes more in debt.

Carbon footprint is also a proposed disclosure requirement for registered investment advisors. It never stops and it never ends. Itβs only a tool for control and otherwise total bull shit.
Didn't Exxon leadership just get replaced with envirocommies?
I think Elon will want to forget all about the strip mining that is necessary to produce all those electric batteries.
