What Is The Most Pernicious Example Of "Misinformation" Currently Circulating?

The greatest misinformation is that most Americans cannot discern true from false thus government must do it for them (for our own well being as Always)
They can discern but have chosen false over true. The government has also made this choice, so the two deserve each other. That's what "of, by, and for" the people actually means.

The guys working on road construction today are making upwards of $100 per hour. That's not bad. Not great but not bad.
Hadda fact check this.

A guy who lives down the road is a supervisor. Once he hits 35 hours it's time and a half. Double time if on Sundays. That is not exhorbitant for someone working outside long hours. In fact it's on the low side.
 

What Is The Most Pernicious Example Of "Misinformation" Currently Circulating?

“Misinformation” — It has been one of the most-used buzzwords of the past few years. The “misinformation” label has been applied by advocates on both sides of the political divide in the attempt to discredit their opponents. Numerous assertions that have dominated the news cycle for months or even years have ultimately proven to be completely false, that is, “misinformation.” Examples of such assertions that have been established as “misinformation” include the assertion that Trump colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 election; the assertion that the Hunter Biden laptop was a Russian plant; and the assertion that the Covid virus originated in a wet market in Wuhan.
After the thorough discrediting of so many false narratives during these years, there remain plenty of narratives still out there that richly deserve the “misinformation” label. But of those, which is the very worst, the very most pernicious? Here is my candidate: the assertion that the cheapest way to generate electricity today is with wind and solar generators.
~Snip~
So why do I say that the assertion of wind and solar being the cheapest ways to generate electricity is the very most pernicious of misinformation currently out there? Here are my three reasons: (1) the assertion is repeated endlessly and ubiquitously, (2) it is the basis for the misallocation of trillions of dollars of resources and for great impoverishment of billions of people around the world, and (3) it is false to the point of being preposterous, an insult to everyone’s intelligence, yet rarely challenged.
How ubiquitous is the assertion that wind and solar are the cheapest ways to generate electricity? Try Googling the question “What is the cheapest way to produce electricity?” You will get multiple pages of results advocating for wind and solar electricity, with almost no mention of the problems or costs of intermittency. A few examples of what turns up:
~Snip~
Meanwhile, among the people incapable of seeing through the fog of misinformation on this subject are our current President, and the Governors of New York and California. In the case of the states, they throw tens of billions of dollars of handouts and subsidies to develop wind and solar facilities (hundreds of billions of dollars in the case of the feds), never having the presence of mind to realize that none of that would be necessary of this method of generation were actually cheaper as claimed.
Between the vast mis-allocation of resources and the sheer preposterousness of the proposition in question, I think that this assertion of wind and solar electricity generation being “cheapest” definitely has the claim for the number one spot.

Commentary:
The belief in “Green Energy” is a religious belief associated with the 'church of Cultural Marxism'. It is a religious belief for the followers, but the preachers know it is another profitable scam for themselves. I am not opposed to solar panels or some wind power. I just think that the market will determine the best uses better than mandates.
MISinformation is something that’s wrong by Mistake.
DIS
information is something that’s wrong Deliberately.
While the term "misinformation" if used when justified, the term has unfortunately become an instrument used by propagandists to mislead by mischaracterization. That word, and the word "debunked" have been the tools of propagandists,
Here are a couple of my favorite DISs:
Oil, gas, and coal are fossil fuels - No they are organic (organic chemistry is the chemistry of carbon).
Climate change is a result of human activity - No, it naturally occurs.
Socialism (and any variant) is a net positive - No, free markets and limited government works best.
Here's theMisinformation List:
1. Diversity is strength. Our different cultures somehow makes us stronger. Look how well that worked for Austria Hungary.​
2. Less Free Speech makes for better democracy.​
3. The cultural victims are always morally pure.​
4. All white people are racists and must be controlled.​
5. Guns turn people into mass killers.​
Also we must remember the lisinformation we were previouslu given.
Yep, agree 100%, plus....
6. All coastal cities will be under water in 10 years. (that was 10 years ago, or more).​
7. Cash is bad.​
8. Everything must be electric.​
9. Our borders must be open to welcome “newcomers”.​
10. A whole boatload more.​
11. we would not​
“Misinformation,” has become a term of Fascism in the USA and Canada, used vociferously by Biden and Trudeau to support the Davos dystopia for the West.

But the most pernicious claim would be America wasn't founded by Christians
 
Agreed. True in every case. They will tell you " the harder you work the more successful you will be". Complete an utter lie.
Hard work, regardless of vocation, is one of the keys to success. You don't have to work in the blazing sun with a pick and shovel to 'work hard'. You can do it sitting at a desk.
 
Oh so those in the sun should earn less?
I worked several summers in the sun (tree trimming and landscaping) just to get outdoors. I took a pay cut from my regular job as a meat cutter to do it. I enjoyed it and learned a lot as well. I have also tuned down some higher paying jobs as they weren't a good fit for me. The thing that was most in my favor is that I never worried too much about money, knowing that I had the rest of my life to get rich.

Four areas I see as dangerous to liberty and the America as it was intended to be and it is difficult to categorize them as which is more or less dangerous than anything else:

--A media that no longer tells the public how things are but dishonestly manipulates information to get people to see and believe things as the media wants us to see and believe them. And it is more dangerous when it is in bed with one political party directing them in what they are to have the public see and believe.

--A government militarized against political opposition to dishonestly suppress, silence, jail, punish, intimidate, publicly humiliate, arrest and/or otherwise cancel anyone that criticizes, challenges or exposes the corruption in that government.

--A Marxist-like initiative, using mostly manufactured and dishonest criteria, to tear apart American families, push political correctness, DEI, gender identification, obliterate basic values, morals, history, traditions and otherwise destroy American culture and our constitutional government so they can make a rootless people into loyal subjects of an essentially totalitarian government. They will control and use that power to enrich themselves and never have to worry that a silly constitution or informed people will take it away.

--Climate change dishonestly used as a master weapon to destroy economies, take control over industries and every aspect of human life to achieve total control.

Yep. In the end tho effort it tied to wage. Less wage a worker slows it down. More wage speed up. That's the definition of american.

I have always given more than 100 percent on any job regardless of pay. By doing that everyone wins. I treat my job like it was my own business.

That's your choice. My employers owed me more. But in the end hearing of how their businesses closed down, my prayers were answered. My only regret is working hard for them. That's simply not the american way.
