Wow

President Biden argues that electricity produced by solar and wind is much cheaper than that produced by burning coal (the opposite is true when subsidies are excluded), and moreover argues that anyone who can mine coal or even shovel it into a furnace (a job that more or less ended 80 years ago in most areas) has the ability to learn to code.

Writing as a guy who interacts with people who write code every day at work, let me simply say that if learning to code were as easy as Biden thinks, we wouldn't need nearly as many talented immigrants to do the work.  It certainly isn't something that everyone who can handle a shovel can do.

With thinking like that, I'm going to say it about President Biden: 25th Amendment.  He either is totally unashamed to tell blatant lies, or he's mentally incompetent.  The sad thing is that the next two people on the succession list, Vice President Harris and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, are probably worse.

I suspect after the midterms today, we'll hear a lot more from the left about Biden's cognitive decline. They won't need him anymore after that, and whispers about the 25th will become louder as the year comes to a close. And especially as 2023 emerges.
