Angela Alioto has second thoughts on social justice

Angela Alioto is an elected supervisor in San Francisco and the daughter of a former mayor (he was mayor when I lived there is 1975). Supervisor Alioto has been a proponent of many progressive social policies, e.g., needle exchanges, sanctuary city and decriminizing theft. She also supported major increases in programs that deal with the homeless. She now admits her policies were wrong.................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Not only that. She also suspects that there is massive corruption and fraud in these programs, particularly the programs dealing with the homeless. This is per her statement in a video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDHPgZyKNPA.

I Thought the Sun and Moon were the Same Thing

  This borders on the not-believable.  Comedienne, and celebrity political influencer,  Chelsea Handler says that until she was 40 (as of this post she is 47) she thought the sun and moon were the same thing. She thought the sun becomes the moon at night. When she was on a safari in Africa her sister pointed out that both the sun and moon were visible. That was, per testimony, her epiphany.  She stated this on late night TV on Jan 13, 2023. An article in People documents the entire thing.

He wrote a twitter post in December 2022 and has followed it up with columns in Newsweek and elsewhere. The basic story is that he supported the total Covid response including lockdowns, near mandatory masking, near mandatory vaccination and so forth because he was in the medical tribe and his tribal loyalty overcame him. However now he realizes that the Covid response was wrong and that at the time of the response measures, this wrongness was obvious. From Newsweek .........................................................................................................................

Former Solar/Wind Power Enthusiast Regrets Past 20 Years of HIs LIfe

 Brian Gitt is a former policy worker, lobbyist, consultant and entrepreneur.  Here is how he begins his 'I was wrong': "Just because you feel like you’re doing the right thing doesn’t mean you are. I have dedicated most of my life to protecting the environment. But I went about it the wrong way. I thought I was acting morally, protecting the well-being of people and the planet. In fact, I was harming both. I believed solar and wind power were the future—our only hope of avoiding environmental catastrophe. Fossil fuels were the enemy, ...I had been living in a fantasy world: perfectly fine for making me feel good about myself and my mission, but perfectly useless for making real environmental change.
