The Economic Future of the West

by Noah Carl
25 August 2022 8:00 AM

For a recent podcast, I interviewed the IEA’s Steve Davies about the economic future of the West. In short, he’s not optimistic – at least regarding the next one to two decades. And you can understand why, looking at this map of European electricity prices:

European electricity prices are almost ten times higher than normal.

We cover issues such as: why the price of oil needs to remain high; why the EU is stuck between a rock and a hard place; why energy sanctions against Russia are self-harming; and why nuclear energy is not a panacea.

Steve is really good at explaining complex economic ideas in simple terms, and he always sticks to the facts. Worth listening to in full.

What they would say is “Ah but that’s only because we stay so vigilant about it”.

What is “racism”?

I think Brits lied – said what they thought they ought to say. Other countries just have more people who feel comfortable admitting that they are a bit tribal.

“…a list of various groups of people, and were asked, “Could you please mention any that you would not like to have as neighbors?”

Were members of the WEF on it?

“one of the best countries in the world to be an ethnic minority”

But a pretty crappy country if you’re part of the indigenous majority.

Give me strength. Peter Daszak has the brass neck to call out Bridgen as an anti-vaxxx and lab leak conspiracist. After all the evidence it is obvious the vax is poison, and that COVID came out of one of HIS EcoHealth labs. Cheeky b’stard should live the rest of his life hiding in a cave.

The rich bit is Good to see him expelled after likening COVID vaccine to The Holocaust.
Bridgen didn’t say anything about The Holocaust (!!1), he quoted a cardiologist who did. And said cardiologist specifically didn’t liken anyhing to The Hollow Hallowed Claus (!!2, sorry, but the sanctimony is unbearable) but differentiated someting from it.

So, Sweden should be turned into Somalia, and if you don’t like that idea then you are a “racist”. The UK should be flooded with everyone from all corners of the globe via small boats and if you don’t like it your a “racist”. —————The race card is like the “Joker” in the pack. You play it when you don’t have any other cards to play.

Notice that people are coming from places with higher racism, as measured by this survey/report.
