The Biggest Problem With Flying Cars Is on the Ground - WSJ

Joby has also predicted that operating costs for its vehicles will be 86 cents a passenger mile. Dr. Trani thinks the actual figure will be between $3 and $4 a passenger mile.

That $4 per mile price is the same as a 9 passenger twin engine turboprop today. The electric air taxis can only carry 2-3 passengers.

White House Press Corps Beginning To Suspect Psaki Isn’t Ever Going To Circle Back To Their Questions - The Babylon Bee

According to the Pew Research Center’s Journalism Project, Psaki has promised to “circle back” to journalists’ questions exactly 8,436 times over the last 17 months. Now it appears almost all of those questions will remain mysteriously unanswered.

Coinbase Says Users’ Crypto Assets Lack Bankruptcy Protections - WSJ

“Because custodially held crypto assets may be considered to be the property of a bankruptcy estate, in the event of a bankruptcy, the crypto assets we hold in custody on behalf of our customers could be subject to bankruptcy proceedings, and such customers could be treated as our general unsecured creditors,” the company said.

Oops.

Abortion Puts the Supreme Court Behind an 8-Foot Fence - WSJ Opinion

The Supreme Court of the United States—from its first meeting in February 1790 through the Civil War, two world wars and the battle for civil rights—has never been protected by an 8-foot wire fence. It is now. On Monday the Senate voted unanimously to extend police protection to the justices’ immediate family. What has happened to us?

Inflation Stays in the Heights - WSJ Opinion

All of this exposes the fantasy that the Biden-Pelosi-Schumer policy mix of blowout spending and easy money is good for working Americans. Modern monetary theory combined with new entitlements were supposed to produce record growth and security. Instead they have produced the highest inflation in 40 years and a falling standard of living. We should add that Donald Trump’s excessive spending at the end of 2020 also didn’t help.

U.S. Inflation Eased in April to 8.3% Annual Rate - WSJ

U.S. consumer inflation eased in April to an 8.3% annual rate, taking a slight edge off the steepest run of price increases in four decades as energy prices moderated.

A 2% decrease after a 400% increase?!

We did it!

Gas Prices Surge to Another High - WSJ

These records don’t account for inflation, however. Inflation-adjusted gas prices are similar to what U.S. drivers saw in the early 1980s, below highs of the 2008 recession.

Wonderful! Now I feel much better.

FBI Sternly Warns Mob At Justice Kavanaugh’s Home To Stay Away From School Board Member’s House Next Door - The Babylon Bee

“Sure would hate to have charge one of you nice people with domestic terrorism,” said Agent Raymond Epley to a group of women lighting baby dolls on fire. “By all means, threaten the justice and his family! But if you set one foot on the school board treasurer’s lawn, it’s a one-way trip to Gitmo.”

The Biden Loyalty Machine - WSJ Opinion

In June 2021, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Mark Milley told Congress, “I want to understand white rage.” Then in a January letter to Sen. James Inhofe, Gen. Milley said U.S. service members had spent almost six million man-hours since Mr. Biden took office on “extremism stand-down” and “diversity, equity and inclusion” training, including critical race theory. Two words: Afghanistan exit. And please focus more on future Russian and Chinese rage.

Who’s a Threat to Democracy? - WSJ Opinion

So which side of the Roe argument is really antidemocratic? The law before the Supreme Court is Mississippi’s ban on abortion after 15 weeks. The abortion-rights movement has failed to persuade the people of Mississippi, and now it wants five unelected Justices, 1,000 miles away in Washington, to take that policy choice away from the voting public.
