[Well, Happy 2023 everyone and we might as well start the new year off with a fresh sandbox.  In the 19dec22 Sandbox Mr scenes offered an intriguing suggestion (830am) in an attempt to eliminate the detritus of TDS and things gratuitously Trump from continually contaminating practically every other topic with yet another boring lap around the Trump barn.  He suggested that RR add a Trump category and restrict posting of Trump-centric comments to that category.  I envision it being structured like the Sandbox with dated, and perhaps even topical, labels so that the comment streams don’t become too long.  I need to noodle on this and invite readers’ ideas about how it would work.  gjr]

    Do tell –
    The National Institutes of Health failed to provide adequate oversight of an American organization that funded controversial research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China, according to a new government report that is sure to raise new questions about the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic.
    The report is evidence of “major failures in past NIH oversight of high-risk research on enhanced potential pandemic pathogens,” Rutgers molecular biologist Richard Ebright told Yahoo News in an email.
    But it does note that the American organization in question, the EcoHealth Alliance, should have been more rigorously scrutinized by federal officials regarding assurances that its partner lab in Wuhan was not using U.S. funds to conduct gain-of-function research, which boosts viruses to study how they might evolve in nature.
    “The entire picture starts to look extremely disconcerting,” mathematical biologist Alex Washburne told Yahoo News. He said that a project on coronaviruses originating in bats, for which the EcoHealth Alliance had given a grant to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, “was clearly gain-of-function research.”

    from BillT’s post:
    “We must have real immigration reform”
    Funny thing. Every time I see the words ‘real immigration reform’ I always come to the conclusion that it’s code for “unlimited legal immigration”. Nothing else will do. The real issue is insufficient bureaucracy to get all the undocumented workers (and non-workers) fixed up with citizenship papers and public benefits.
    As a side note, there’s a batch of old National Reviews on archive.org. I suspect the writing is better. It’s likely that all of these print magazines are for the high jump, but it doesn’t mean you can’t have a stack of old ones.

    They really do hate citizens –
    The American Dream for today’s Americans will only be pushed further out of reach unless we get serious about changing course. It is critically important that we reduce immigration unless we want to [change from] a middle class nation to a nation of renters.”
    Since the 1970s, rents have risen in every state as Congress expanded the resident population of immigrants, especially after Congress doubled legal immigration in 1990. That immigrant population has grown from roughly 30 million in 1999 to almost 50 million in early 2023. The inflow raised housing costs just as inflation pumps up gasoline prices.
    Rents rose by 8.7 percent in 2021 and 9 percent in 2022 as Biden’s huge inflow of roughly 3 million southern migrants pooled their low incomes to rent houses and apartments.
    In contrast, rents rose by 3.6 percent per year during President Donald Trump’s low-migration term.
    Yet Democrats continue to push for more migration, even though the rising rents are forcing young Americans to delay marriage and move back to their parent’s homes.
    New York rents take almost 70 percent of the median wage, yet Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is urging more migration into her high-rent, low-wage district. On January 25, she and almost 80 other Democrats signed a letter to President Joe Biden asking for more migration
    “Using data that span from 2002–2012, we find, as have others, that immigration inflows are associated with rising rents and prices,” according to a March 2017 study of almost 300 “Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA), titled “Immigration and housing: A spatial econometric analysis.” The summary reported:
    An increase in the number of immigrants equal to 1 percent of an MSA’s total population was linked with a 0.8 percent increase in rents and a 0.8 percent increase in home prices.
    This same increase in immigrants was associated with a 1.6 percent rise in rents and a 9.6 percent rise in home prices in surrounding MSAs.
    Immigrants now comprise roughly 14 percent — or one in seven — of all residents in the United States. That inflow has helped to spike rents and housing costs in California and other coastal states, especially when politicians and builders jointly roll back suburban zoning rules.

    re: DonB and EVs.
    Oh well. It’s pretty obvious that the point of the exercise is something dreamed up in a meeting room by a group of well-meaning engineers. One Big Machine. Everyone has solar panels. Everyone has a battery backup (either stationary or an EV). Remotely controlled, like ‘smart’ thermostats, in order to keep the load delicately balanced. Efficient as all get-out and grotesquely prone to cascading failures. Centrally controlled.
    One thing I love about EVs is that they’re the next logical step after the latest iterations of ICE cars to build things with the economics of the cell phone. Quickly obsolete, difficult or impossible to repair, software-rich and filled with surveillance goodness. At least consumer electronics don’t cost $50k.

    Tree huggers scuttle ev minerals in US –
    However, Twin Metals’ mining project contained about 88% of the nation’s cobalt reserves in addition to vast copper, nickel and platinum-group elements. Such critical minerals are vital for various green energy technologies like electric vehicle batteries, battery storage facilities, solar panels and wind turbines, which the Biden administration has aggressively pushed.
    For example, an electric vehicle requires 500% more mineral resources than a traditional gas-powered car, while a single onshore wind turbine plant requires 800% more minerals than a typical fossil fuel plant, according to the International Energy Agency.
    “If Democrats were serious about developing renewable energy sources and breaking China’s stranglehold on the global market, they would be flinging open the doors to responsible mineral development here in the U.S.,” House Natural Resources Committee Chairman Rep. Bruce Westerman, R-Ark., said Thursday in a statement. “We cannot have a future of renewable energy without minerals, period — not to mention their necessity to our defense systems, satellites, cellphones and virtually every other advanced technology.”
    “While Democrats play political ping pong with American industries, China and Russia are laughing straight to the bank,” he continued. “The administration’s decision to withdraw this mineral-rich area — blatantly targeting one of our country’s most promising mines — is short-sighted, foolish and completely unscientific.
    “Unfortunately, President Biden doesn’t seem to mind if Minnesota mining communities and the entire American economy pay the price.”

    recommendations.”
    [15oct22 update] ‘How EVs Can Power the Grid’ Well, they can’t really do that today, but governments are keenly interested in using the increasing number of EV batteries as a distributed storage cache for electricity. These EVs will have bidirectional inverters that let you plug in and charge your EV or, when the utility decides, then to drain your battery for the greater good of the grid users. Utrecht in Holland is leading the way in studying this possibility with the city’s EV charging stations. Implementing this V2G capability will give someone else the ultimate control of your EV – whether you can drive it or not, when and how far. No grousing allowed; it’s for the common good you see.

Rob Portman, ranking member of the Senate Homeland Security Committee.
    An archived version of the Thousand Talents Plan’s website states the program is managed by the Western Returned Scholars Association, which is a UFWD front group, according to the USCC.

    re: BillT@10:15PM
    I’ve run into that business of using EVs as grid batteries before. It’s usually (on Reddit especially) combined with a great deal of handwaving about the elegance of the solution, usually from the piehole of some computer programmer who writes code furthest from the metal.
    It’s likely I’ve mentioned this before (mea culpa and all that), but poking through the freshest California building code leads me to the conclusion that was is going on is that the power companies are attempting to push off the huge investment in solar and batteries onto the consumers. If everyone’s new house has a clump of this stuff required, there’s that much less from PG&E and their brethren to actually invest. Active management of your house’s power usage and storage is some jiggery pokery to lower their need for more peak load capacity. Naturally, it’s cheaper per kWh to do something on an industrial scale in the right area, but that costs money.
    Generally, just think of all the fun the IoT will introduce. In your future is a surveillance refrigerator which warms up a bit when your neighbor’s TV wall is showing Dear Leader in some fantastically complicated subgrid.

    Home solar strikes me as brilliant if your alternative is $50k worth of hookup, or you just want to be free of The Man. My favorites are simply lying the panels on the ground and avoid the other half of the expense (mounting). Perfect for Las Vegas or Phoenix.
    Rather than simply cranking up property or income tax, the Great State of California will have to get money wherever it can in order to do more Good Deeds.

    You have to wonder what the ‘transition’ part is. Wearing a pretty dress and size 15 heels? Truth is, no one wants to see a 66 year-old man in the shower room.
    Given that so much of the economic ‘activity’ of the area consists of non-profits filled with white wimmen, there’s probably a good case for this ‘transition’ concept of which you speak. A man’s gotta eat after all.
    I don’t mind that adults want to display their kinks in public, simply reserve me the right to laugh at them and keep them away from the children. Regardless of what advances are made in this era in terms of science or the arts, my best guess is that we’ll be most remembered for a generation of mutilated children with manipulated hormones. A society-wide experiment in debasement.

    So, I guess you failed geography… Bulgaria isn’t Russia. It isn’t now and it never was.
    And the old Soviet Union wasn’t Libertarian, was it? Not even a bit?

    They will never stop. Dr. Rebane concluded that they are evil. I have concluded the same.

    “The latter’s advisory panel includes former acting CIA chief Michael Morell, former Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul, former Hillary for America chair John Podesta, and onetime Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol,” Taibbi wrote.”
    Bill Kristol, John Podesta……nice cast of characters.

    More? More secret codes? They just keep finding more and the codes keep popping up.
    Rubin goes to Frisco for two days. Elon still working at midnight. Pull out one toothpick and the whole thing could crash.

    You know, I am gobsmacked how fast things are moving in the last 18 months. Like the ole Q&A, “How did you go bankrupt?” “First slowly, then quickly.” When I look back five years, then two years, and now the last year, things have greatly accelerated. Seemingly in a blink of an eye, we have gone from biological sex to biological sex is tossed aside and it’s all about gender identity with biological not even a consideration. Amazing. Same with the Deep State. They no longer try to hide the Deep State or deny it, but rather they are acting out the open like the Deep State would.

    Ivandjiiski Sr. was a member of the Bulgarian Committee For State Security, DS for short.
    The Bulgarian DS was the USSR KGB’s most reliable allied service during the Cold War.
    The DS carried out wet work for the KGB in the western countries, a notable example would be Georgi Markov in London.
