Thousands of jobs have been slashed in just the first few days of the Biden Presidency. Executive Order after order have been pushed in front of the old man with a pen and he does as he is told. I wonder if they threaten take away his pudding if he doesn’t sign.

When asked about the jobs that have been needlessly killed, the Administration has a pithy answer.

John Kerry, the Biden Admin’s Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, has a message to oil and gas workers: make solar panels.
Joe Biden killed tens of thousands of jobs his first day in office when he canceled contracts with the Keystone XL pipeline and waged a war on the energy business.
This is just the beginning — millions of US jobs are at risk now that Biden is stopping new oil and gas leases on federal lands.

It should be noted that this is not really true yet. Executive orders killing oil and gas industry jobs does not immediately create a demand for labor in the “green” industry. The shortage  of supply created here is in oil and gas, not labor. The market’s first reaction will be to raise prices for petroleum based products. To make what Kerry is saying true, congress will have to act. The green market is not competitive without government intervention. If it were, there would be more jobs there already.

Also, when they say that jobs will be created to offset those lost, they are speaking about aggregate numbers. They don’t really mean that John, who has ten kids and a jet ski, is actually going to go from the pipeline to the manufacturing line. They mean that the 10,000 jobs that were lost will be created somewhere else. John is a number, not a person.

So Where are the Benefits for Us?

Why would they do this?  Well, there are all kinds of benefits, just not for most of us. I already mentioned the need to subsidize the green sector. That means government gets to be between you and what they think you need. Taxpayer dollars get pushed out to their friends and activists in the “sustainable” market. Al Gore and others have positioned themselves to make a profit when energy goes green. Some of that taxpayer money will end up back in campaign coffers to keep the gravy flowing.

Another big feature is dependence on the federal government. When John is relying on a check from the state to get by, he is most likely going to vote for the money. More people that depend on the government for money means more people voting to keep that paycheck.

For the rest of us, we are told to swallow the bad tasting medicine, in the outcome is good for us. Even though it isn’t. The green agenda is not about greenhouse gasses, or saving the world. Its about redistribution of wealth.  From News with Views:

Last November I wrote an article about the “powers to be” finally admitting climate change was a farce.  Figueres, the Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), warned that the fight against climate change is a process and that the sought-after transformation of the world economy will not be decided at one conference or in one agreement.

Was Christiana telling us that climate change was being used as TRANSFORMATION of the world’s economy? As I said before, obviously she felt the need to tell the world the Global Climate lie was created to transform the world’s economy to “redistribute the wealth” by of all the wealthier nations to take care of the poor ones.

Where did we hear about “redistribute the wealth” before. Oh yes, the United Nations, Pope Francis and Obama.

So losing your job isn’t really about saving the world. Its about paying off special interests, staying in power, and giving taxpayer money away.

Update:

I just saw this at Brietbart. The machine has hit the spin cycle.
