FWIW: my 14-year-old son was asking about hydrogen as fuel recently (due to Glass Onion). So I sent him your ZeroAvia link, to which he replied “Wow cool” -- which is a rare and precious reaction for me as his Dad. Thank you. :-)

Will you or any other Biden supporters let the millions of illegal immigrants he let in stay in your home? Did the COVID jab prevent you from getting COVID, like Uncle Joe said? Can he string together a coherent sentence without a teleprompter? Is the world a safer, less violent place under his watch after the Afghanistan debacle? Are hyperinflation and hundreds of thousands tech layoffs indicative of a strong economy? Can a black person be Black if they don't vote for him? Should teachers facilitate kids' gender transitions without telling parents? Can you reason with a demoralized person? Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/how-to-reason-with-a-demoralized

or the most salient point, will you fight in WW3 against the east/africa/south-america (via war w/ russia)? biden's escalation is never ending. war is inevitable. doesn't sound like something to be very optimistic about

The deplorables and ukranians will do the fighting and dying, the libs will type about optimism and Joe. So stunning and brave!

Hydrogen electric is in no way climate neutral, much less positive.

What are the enormous mineral requirements for batteries and films?

Where is this hydrogen coming from? The energy to split from water, if not straight blue hydrogen (natural gas)?

And then there's the plane itself. The ZeroAvia plane has the range of a Tesla (300 miles). Why not just drive the frickin' Tesla then?

Biden was stealing highly classified documents on Ukraine and stashing them in his garage while they paid his son millions, then gave them $80 billion in one year of his presidency, but it was Trump who got impeached for a phone call with Ukraine?

Joe Biden is easily the worst president in my life time. I am a 55 year old registered democrat who will most likely change parties for the next election. You say "Trump’s vision for America (and his general approach in bringing that vision to life) was not one we supported". So are you saying it's great to work 4 jobs 70 hours a week and not be able to save $1? High gas prices....high everything, a Russian war,printing more money ie increasing inflation, increasing debt,increasing crime, increasing drugs killing people,lowering "Real" wages..... What do you like about Joe Biden ? I am unsubscribing from your email not out of irritation or anger but because you've clued me in that none of the information may be accurate ...like CNN

Please, there are no Republicans who should be allowed to be near power, let alone President. They have shown that they are seditious insurrectionists willing to destroy the country. Look at what they are doing now with the debt ceiling let alone what they did on Jan 6th and then voting for sedition after that.

> willing to destroy the country

> Look at what they are doing now with the debt ceiling

🤡 learn2economic. start with the cantillon effect (more debt = money printing bc money is literally debt) if you *truly* care about the people of your country

> An 18th century French banker and philosopher named Richard Cantillon noticed an early version of this phenomenon in a book he wrote called ‘An Essay on Economic Theory.’ His basic theory was that who benefits when the state prints a bunch of money is based on the institutional setup of that state. In the 18th century, this meant that the closer you were to the king and the wealthy, the more you benefitted, and the further away you were, the more you were harmed. Money, in other words, is not neutral. This general observation, that money printing has distributional consequences that operate through the price system, is known as the “Cantillon Effect.”

> This dynamic is exactly what happened with the United States since the 1960s, if you replace the idea of gold mines with the ability to print dollars. In 1971, Keynesian economist Nicholas Kaldor said that dollar hegemony would turn "a nation of creative producers into a community of rentiers increasingly living on others, seeking gratification in ever more useless consumption, with all the debilitating effects of the bread and circuses of imperial Rome."

> Today what Cantillon observed is far more extreme than it was in the 1960s; it is hedge funds, private equity, and bankers who have benefitted from the money printing, and the foreigners who benefit from our money printing are increasingly Chinese and foreign manufacturers.
