It has been a week since the assassination attempt on Donald Trump. I was not sure if I was going to comment on it but I just could not resist. A common theme of this blog is that the problems we face stem from government. Or, rather the unique combination of incompetence and malfeasance you […]
Anyone who works in natural gas knows that the price can be very volatile. The price can drop very low as it has again recently. About 30 years ago natural gas went through a similar low price cycle. A friend of mine who worked for a gas transportation company told me he had an idea […]
One thing that always amazed me is how easy it has been for Moderna to fly under the vaccine injury radar. Most of the focus has been on Pfizer but the two products use the same technology. If the lipid nanoparticles and spike proteins in the Pfizer jab are dangerous why aren’t they even more […]

They come to the surprising conclusion that COVID vaccine efficacy might have been less than zero even when we were being told that it was 100%. All […]
Officially today is Canada day although unofficially Justin Trudeau changed the date to April 1st several years ago. In the lead up to this now defunct Canadian holiday pollsters asked Canadians how they felt about Canada. They found national pride waning significantly.
