The big losers of the Inflation Increase Act (IRA) were the American people who had to watch inflation continue to rise as government spending hit another high, while the big winner (beyond all the new IRS agents) was the guy who made the blue screen of your dreams possible.
“Everybody wants to be part of this,” Carmichael Roberts, the head of Bill Gates’s green energy investment fund, gushed. “The calls that I’m getting now — tremendous, already.
Gates was described as having personally lobbied Senator Manchin and Schumer in anticipation of a rare moment in which significant federal dollars might be secured for the clean-energy transition. Billions of those dollars, ripped out of the hands of truck drivers, veterans and small businessmen, will have been “secured” for Gates and his ventures.
Breakthrough Energy Ventures, a fund backed by Bill Gates, announced earlier that it raised over $2 billion to invest in green companies and that it plans to raise that to $15 billion. It currently has a public portfolio of 70 companies, many of which have government connections.
The Microsoft founder was described as having “tapped into a relationship with Manchin that he’d cultivated for at least three years”.
“My dialogue with Joe has been going on for quite a while,” the billionaire, whose marriage allegedly broke up over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein, bragged. “Almost everyone on the energy committee came over and spent a few hours with me over dinner.”
What followed was a story in which one of the richest men in the world convinced elected officials to ignore their constituencies and spend a fortune on green pork. The ‘Inflation Increase Act’ proved once again that in Washington D.C., voters don’t matter, only power brokers do.
Gates appears to be shopping for Republicans willing to screw the middle class and urging fellow investors who have their hook in a Republican to make that sucker sell out before they take the money back.
“Republicans for climate change action are gold,” said Bill Gates, the billionaire climate philanthropist and investor, on Thursday at the Climate Forward event in New York City.
Not precisely how Republican voters describe them.
The number of Republicans convinced that responding to climate change is a priority has “got to be a number that we manage to increase over time,” Gates said.
Sadly, Epstein’s services are no longer available.
“The IRA is a very dramatic set of money to bootstrap key technologies, including into areas that most climate people don’t talk about,” Gates said, like, for example, industrial processes. “Industrial emissions, if you don’t solve that, the whole thing doesn’t get solved,” Gates said.
“It’s a fantastic climate bill,” Gates said.
But the longevity of the IRA and those tax credits depends on whichever party rules Washington D.C.
“We don’t have that much time to keep this thing intact,” Gates said. “It’s not guaranteed that tax credits necessarily last out the full 10 years, because they can be repealed if you get a change in political control.”
What if the peasants revolt and actually stop subsidizing ‘green’ investments? Something must be done.
While Gates emphasized the importance of getting Republicans to take climate policy seriously, he also said he doesn’t like to demonize them.
Instead, Gates asks the question: “Why have we failed to bring more people along? And this is a super important thing,” he said.
Because non-leftists don’t believe that using plastic bags causes oceans to rise and that we can fix the problem by banning everything and then subsidizing vastly inferior and far more expensive versions of the technologies we already have that would destroy the living standards of those Americans that aren’t either billionaires or junkies already living in tent cities.
That’s why, Bill.
When Gates interacts with philanthropists who are investing in climate, he encourages those who have relationships with Republicans to work with them to try to increase their commitment to climate. “I think that’s extremely valuable,” he said.
“Philanthropists who are investing in climate” and have “relationships with Republicans” should “try to increase their commitment to climate”.
That sounds like a very fancy way of saying that donors who donate to Republicans and invest in green projects should pressure Republicans to keep Bill’s financial advantages away from the peasants.
As a political shift potentially approaches, the establishment is looking for a few Republicans to buy. Gotta stop the revolution somehow.
If he’s looking to buy a sale is a forgone conclusion.
Drain that swamp. Not!
I mean even Borat has this figured out.
Clint Eastwood isn’t Borat.
And that Cohen guy is annoying.
Do you think this is some sort of game? If it’s a game it’s game nobody wants to play.
Please get on the case if you have a case.
Besides how much Biden sucks but everyone with half a remaining brain cell knows that;s why he was elected in the first place.
Just get on it idiot. This is not some stupid game You’re not going to run and hide.
Unless you want to go on the most obvious tours. Those are available. Don’t let me hold you back. AS IF.
What do you want to do exactly? You have no fight, You have no soul. You have nothing exactly.
the more we get into nothing the more we understand you.
Nothing. (nothing is a singular concept invoking something so boring you just want to tell them to f”off into their own f’off.
Great analysis Daniel! What do they call it, Crony Capitalism, Corporatism, Globalism?
Yes, this is how we know we’re going to a really great place. It’s almost like America still exists in some pre-911 phase. Everything is for sale. If Trump Americans have one message outstanding it’s that.
Just like the WWE. Can Gates buy the WWE? In small change.
But he doesn’t need to and it would look bad since they’re already sold.
Utterly worthless like the words coming out of Trump’s mouth.
Meaning nothing and signifying less. WWE.
What else can you do for Trump clowns who think Donald becoming president again will make some kind of difference it didn’t before but feel sorry for them?
And that’s the only opposition Gates has. No wonder there’s a contemptuous smirk on his face. But people would like to wonder.
The scum we have in leadership on both sides of the aisle these days puts the definitive stamp on our newly won banana republic status. Gates is just the undertaker.
Spam on this page is ridiculous, takes away from the seriousness of the subjects and it totally off putting. Why is this garbage published?
Oh, great. More late night weekend drunk commenting. Sign me out, please. Too bad, because it was an interesting article and I had something to say, but there’s no competing with all the noise. See y’all on Monday.
Parachute him and his rotten Microsoft into the deepest part of the Amazon and leave him there with only the clothes on his back
Naw. leave him naked.
The whole idea of tax credits is absurd and a poke in the eye for the average citizen.
Taxation should be flat, no special deductions or credits for any reason.
It’s not greedy little Billy that raises my ire. It’s the politicians who have sold their souls for the coin of the realm that need to be rounded up and held to account.
I cannot get through his double talk. Does it make sense? No. I think at this point Gates is talking to himself.
Why don;t you pay attention then? Sounds like like Trump/Fauci to me. But maybe then again I’m just “special” paying attention to your special fag.
Yes. we are obviously going super gargantuan places with this puke that calls himself Trump.
Fags “Your comment is too short—try writing a little more”
Fags, “Your comment is too short—try writing a little more” X 2
You don’t give your heart you don;t give your soul, all you give is your stupid community retardation.
You don’t give and that’s why everybody hates you
I mean why would you have to give if you know better? Especially with Covid. Let’s explore. Oh no, we can’t do that. Trumpf himself knows better.
You think this is some kind of stupid game? It’s not a game idiots.
That’s why people hate me. But hating me is a small thing. They can get rid of me in an eye blink. Just not in a way that pleases their complexion generally. That;s what annoys them. Those blemishes. fags.
That;s why this is a stupid game ending up at only one place. The same place it ended up for all the high end retards that played the same game before. American or otherwise.
These East Coast retards who are not dissimilar from European retards in any way whatsoever. NY Trumptards nothwithstanding although they withstand much that they shouldn’t.
The only way that they think they’re special is in the new which is very Italian old.
How the biggest scam in history works: Give us half of your money or the planet will die.
Yes, one day you’ll start to investigate. By the time you investigate it will all be long gone in the past The past you didn’t interact with but now dominates your daily expression for today.
That;s why we get stupid BS like Biden. As if Biden would even be relevant if you weren’t the standard NY croaks that you are.
Just like those crappy Norwegian fags. Useless.
Like we’re supposed to be grateful for you super gay Gates fags,
Okay so I’m guessing this finally hurt your fag fag.
Or maybe not who knows what it takes to hurt you NY Trump fags? Definitely less than genuine.
All we have is this NY TRUMP GARBAGE legit.
OMF I hate these fags even though it;s perfectly clear they’ll have their way.
I’m not the kind that needs to tell you. You’re not the kind that needs to tell me.
These people are so gay we;re supposed respect them. Gay in front of Nazis. Gay in front of their own stupidity. I’m supposed to respect them.
