Yes data centers will wreck your utility bill.
Now that the kids are out of the house we no longer need our back yard. I'm building a solar electrical farm back there. I plan to power 20 homes on our block. I also have a 240 ft high wind turbine on our 1/4 acre lot. AI data centers are sending your electric bills soaring. Here's what you can do about it. By Ellen Thomas, Business Insider Oct 8, 2025, 9:30 AM CT Utility rates are rising in 41 states due to the increased demand from data centers on the electric grid. Data

Voldemort appears on 60 Minutes! WTF!
Here's how it works. The Dark Lords buddies buy CBS and install Bari Weiss a fair journalist to run the News Division.

Did Trump's Nat Guard drop crime in Memphis this month?
As the Wall St Journal report earlier this week (see below), Memphis is one of the few large Dem controlled cities that's cooperated and worked with the Dark Lord to deploy Nat Guard troops. Some context. Memphis is the murder capital of the US with a homicide rate of between 38-49 homicides per 100,000 residents. That compares to about 7 for LA and 4.6 for the Big Apple. Chicago hovers around 20...also ridiculously high. Unlike those other big Dem run cities, Trump isn't lo

Why Schumer may have tanked his party with the shut down?
It's been about a month since he lead the Dems to shut down the federal government. The issue was the extention of the temporary Obamacare benefits that were originally designed to expire after the pandemic. The key specific putting off the GOP was the provision to provide free ER treatment to all illegals. One day ago, the nation's largests public employee labor union turned against Schumer and called for his party to agree to turn the lights back on. When organized labor

Are Chipotle and Sweetgreen still crushing it?
By way of comparison, McDonalds is still keeping up with these guys but Chick -fil-A is losing a little steam. The slop bowl recession has sent Chipotle’s stock cratering Chart R For a long time, the slop bowl and burrito scene has been a gold mine for Chipotle. But now, with competition rising and wallets getting lighter, consumers are turning away from Chipotle’s offerings.

The US obesity rate keeps declining, but diabetes cases have hit a new high
The US obesity rate keeps declining, but diabetes cases have hit a new high Weight-loss drugs like Ozempic have long had a significant impact on pharma companies’ financials. Now, we’re starting to see GLP-1s affecting America’s health statistics in real time. On Tuesday, Gallup published updated 2025 figures for obesity and diabetes rates, as part of its ongoing National Health and Well-Being Index.

World's largest company. Don't know what they do?
A little Snitz prospective here. Back in the year 2000, the largest five stocks in the SP500 were GE, Microsoft, Cisco, Intel and Walmart. Slightly less than $2 trillion. Today the top 5 are worth approx $19 trillion. Nvidia alone is worth over $5 trillion (having been only at $1 trillion 19 months ago)! So what does Nvidia do exactly to have become the world's largest company (by market cap). Essentially the create super powerful GPUs for computers (ergo creating and rende

How badly have health insurance premiums risen since 2000?
Not bad. Only 400%. BTW, it's laudable that Voldemort is trying to lower drug prices. In case you're unaware (obviously) only about 9-10% of health costs in the US come from retail drug prescriptions (15-18% if you include hospital and physician administered drugs). So his efforts won't move the dial much. Employer-provided healthcare premiums rose to an average of $27,000 this year Sherwood News Oct 24, 2025 Premiums for employer-provided health insurance plans reached near

Should elite schools give preference to legacies?
From the Wall St Journal today. My take, unlike affirmative action, legacy admissions is simply a way for a private institution to make money. If you're going to wipe out this practice then how about demanding these schools charge everyone the same tuition. Should kids without economic means get a break? Does your local Toyota dealership work that way? I refuse to give poor people free access to the Report. They pay like everybody else! BTW...the chart below at no additio

The Fed Gov investing in tech companies?
Almost 40% of all scientific research is funded by the Federal Government. The COVID vaccines that surely helped reduce the impact of the pandemic were developed under Operation Lightspeed a public/private partnership under the Voldemort Administration. Huge idea.

Trump will visit Gaza!
My favorite quote of the week. Bibi's finally met someone who's ego takes the Oxygen out of the room. Someone who can push him around. Love it. “Bibi, you can’t fight the world,” Trump recalled telling Netanyahu. “You can fight individual battles, but the world’s against you.

WSJ's tech editor says she's leaving Google and uses AI chat-bots instead!
To quote Nicole Nguyen today, "I’ve been using several AI web browsers lately. I’m never going back to the boring old kind. An AI browser has a built-in chatbot that can see what’s open in your tabs. As you surf, you can type requests like: “Explain this.” “Is this the best price?” “Make it vegetarian.” Your artificial-intelligence browsing assistant instantly understands the context. Browsers with advanced task-performing “agents” can click and type in your tab to complete t

Is China slaying it on nuclear?
First off, I excerped a New York Times story, this morning by Brad Plumer and Harry Stevens. Why Brad misspells his name or can't install a faucet is anyone's guess. The Trump administration wants to quadruple U.S. nuclear power capacity by 2050, even as it ignores global warming, and it hopes to develop a new generation of reactor technology to power data centers at home and sell to energy-hungry countries overseas. Officials fear that if China dominates the nuclear export
