To me it’s a mystery, the nature of the process by which a publicly traded corporation allows their prime directive to morph from creating and marketing the best products possible under whatever economic constraints and generating a profit for the owners to social justice, profit be damned. It doesn’t make sense from the corporation’s viewpoint.

The only analogy that I can think of is when a virus invade a host and, infecting the cells, co-opts the machinery of the cells to the purposes of the virus with no allowance for the continued health or, indeed, continued existence of the host.

Actually, an accurate analogy, I think. (One more word beginning with a and I could have had a straight.)

A side story on California’s stupidity on renewable energy:

Last fall the state energy commissioner, or whatever the “very important state official” who is in position to announce proclamations from on high to us peasants had dire news. The problem? Energy consumption between the hours of 4pm-10pm needed to be drastically reduced due to the whole sun going down effect. No sunlight, no solar charging-easy concept. The call was put out with advice on appropriate temperature settings for A/C, and the avoidance of activities that might strain the electric grid across the state.

Imagine the surprise that night to see So-Fi Stadium in Los Angeles fully lit up in anticipation for the NFL game being played. The irony was not missed on what the state considered their priorities to be during this alleged crisis. And yes, it was put out with an attitude that this could result in blackouts (brownouts?) across the state.

Those unfamiliar with Los Angeles weather should know that it is quite mild for most of the year. If this was such a desperate situation surely a football game should not have been that important to warrant the amount of wasted energy to light up a small village. The game could have been rescheduled to be during the daylight hours. But no. Priorities you see.

Guest Contributor – ArthurinCali – 14JUN2023 – Transphobic Latino White Supremacists

One factor seldom noted in the discussions regarding the brave new world of Transanity and the courts is the multicultural makeup of the USA, and the effects these proposed ‘laws’ would have on multiple communities that absolutely reject this warped gender ideology. While mainstream media attempts to paint every protest and backlash as the work of white supremacist and MAGA people, the truth, as always, is more complex and nuanced than they let on. See the recent uproar at the Glendale, California school where a community of over 200K Armenian-Americans and Latinos stood up to the school for trying to incorporate queer studies into the curriculum. Other incidents of pushback around the country are either ignored, or portrayed as a minority of bigots by MSM. When large groups of brown folks such as Muslims are seen on video having their children stomp on the rainbow banner, the media narrative becomes…complicated. Where it all leads is still a guess, but the Left’s hubris that victory is all but guaranteed for their deviant agenda is the height of their self-assured pride in this cause. There is more resistance to this ideology than what has been acknowledged.

Guest Contributor – ArthurinCali – 02JUN2023 – Comments of Transgender Industry

The Transgender movement we currently see has the markers and characteristics of other historical fads-only with monumental life-altering effects for those who fall prey to its empty promises of making someone feel mentally compatible with their bodies. What is more sinister is the parade of doctors and self-described experts on the condition of gender dysmorphia who obscure even the slightest possibility of downsides to making the decision to alter the human body. The doctors make an incredible amount of profit on the surgeries performed, as well as the lifetime regime of Frankenstein medicines required to “live as one’s true self.” We can infer from the number of post-surgical patients who proclaim to be 100% happy that the pressure and influence not to express any regrets must be high. It is human nature to rationalize big life decisions such as buying a home, selection of a mate, or to invest heavily into something financially. It cannot be that different with the commitment to fully transgender. I would even compare it to the ‘sunken cost’ fallacy. Sadly, the impact of these decisions is not easily reversible, or have a margin of recovery for most. A rueful purchase of a home or vehicle can be amended, one can decide to divorce, while returning one’s body back to factory settings is practically impossible. The level of deception and subterfuge needed to mask the dangers and harm are plain to see by watching Walsh’s film. To push this ideology onto children is another level of evil and perversity in and of itself.
