Hey, I recently learned that the leadership in Taiwan fled the Chinese mainland when Taiwan formed. Did you guys know that? The leadership that was in charge of China at the time the communists revolted and took over fled to the island of Formosa and formed Taiwan. I know, I just learned about it in Geography. Somehow I hadn't heard that before and it was really interesting to me.

They've found another market they can screw up. If people wanted more heat pumps the manufacturers would be making them, simple as that. The article didn't mention it, but there's got to be a big financial gain for the manufacturers, are they going to "discount" the systems?
Each and every time the government meddles in a market they cause unintended consequences somewhere. Markets regulate themselves, the government picking winners and losers always ends in more losers than winners.

Somebody's buddy is into making those heat pumps so biden is using the taxpayer money in order to 'help him out'. In order to get on that somebody's good side to get something from him/her. They are all grifters.

Ya gotta laugh:Now, why would his fellow democrats wring their hands and roll their eyeballs if they weren't seeing what we're all seeing? I mean, when was the last time he made a speech that he didn't mess it up? When was the last time he found his way off a stage without help? When was the last time he didn't repeat outlandish lies that have been debunked while talking extemporaneously? My gosh, they know full well he's an embarrassment not just to them but the country.

I’d hate to see her in office and McCarthy is not someone I’d take advice from.

In spite of it being fruitless in the end, with the Senate not convicting, it seems worthwhile to get as many facts out there that the media can't ignore. Right now, whatever Comer and Jordan say gets buried in the media, if mentioned at all. An impeachment proceeding would by its seriousness require at least some publicity of Biden's corruption. Except Dems vote in unison no matter what facts they’re confronted with.

Nikki Haley is IMHO not at all trustworthy. Several of her recent statements are NOT conservative. Also her endorsement by the Koch brothers (RINO establishment wealthy funders) proves to me that she is a RINO.

Yeah, I think Trump would be diminishing is populist appeal with Haley. She's been an "almost republican" for many years. Even succumbed to pressure in taking down the Confederate flag from the South Carolina capitol as Governor.

That is something that most folks in my neck of the woods (those who pay any attention to goings-on) will not forgive her for. She is a snake.

As the article says, investing from feelings and emotions without concrete facts is a poor decision. Just look at the stocks of the most "woke" companies like Target/AB/Dicks/any wind farm or solar enterprise and you'll see altruistic intentions don't equal profits for shareholders. That "woke" feeling for investors only lasts until they see the negative return on investment.

My investments are intended to make me money, period. Feel good stuff is considered charitable contributions.
