The New Republic attacks The Jew Howard Schultz for getting The Protestant debt religion
Which teaches that real capitalism is about risking savings, not about leveraging debt.
It's The New Republic which has learned nothing, not Howard Schultz. As usual the liberals engage in projection of their own failings onto their enemies.
Without savings—and with his mother seven months’ pregnant—the family was forced to rely on Jewish Family Services. Later, when debt collectors called their home, Schultz’s parents would put him on the phone to turn them away; when the family ran out of money, they sent him out to family and friends to ask for loans.
NeverTrump Ben Shapiro reassures America today about Howard Schultz
BS: Howard Schultz is Jewish, not white. And he'll siphon votes from Trump, not the Democrat candidate.
Thank you, BS. Finally one of you admits you are not white.
Go Howard!
Heh.
How much natural gas does Consumers Energy have for its customers in west Michigan?
Consumers has 15 storage fields with 350 billion cubic feet of natural gas storage, [Consumers Vice President Garrick] Rochow said.
"There's not only a large supply to meet our customers' needs for the entire winter, but there's the ability to pull even more gas into state through the pipeline system," Rochow said. "So there is no risk from a long-term reserve perspective."
The utility has 1.8 million business and residential natural gas customers.
Here's the math (I think):
350 billion cubic feet of natural gas = 350 trillion btu (1 billion cf = 1 trillion btu);
I use roughly 156 million natural gas btu per year, on average, in my single family household (approximately 150,000 cf X 1.037 million btu per 1000 cf.);
If all Consumers' customers were like me, which they aren't, Consumers Energy could supply 2.24 million such households for one year before needing to resupply the storage fields, or 59% of Michigan's households.
Michigan has roughly 3.8 million households X 2.55 people per household = 9.7 million. Estimated population in 2017 was just under 10 million.
Supplying electricity is a completely separate issue.
Michigan residents asked to keep thermostats no higher than 65F through Friday evening during cold snap
A Wednesday night plea for customers to turn their heat down made an impact, [Consumers Energy spokesman Brian] Wheeler said.
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer took to Facebook to ask Michiganders to reduce usage and an emergency alert was sent to cellphones.
Residents should keep thermostats down through the end of the day Friday, officials said, to avoid the possibility of service interruptions.
I went out in the subzero temperatures to grocery shop yesterday, and it was chilly in the store: Now I know why
The natural gas company had a fire at a compressor station and basically had to burn off an entire natural gas storage field yesterday in a controlled manner in order to prevent an explosion. It was their main field supplying us here in Michigan for the winter. Now they'll have to tap reserves.
They're asking everyone to reduce thermostats to 65F to conserve gas in the meantime.
It's -11F this morning.
Now ain't that a kick in the head.

The utility companies in Minnesota wouldn't have to say this if natural gas were reserved for residential heating and coal for electricity
“We need those in Becker, Big Lake, Chisago City, Lindstrom,
Princeton, and Isanti to reduce use of natural gas. Until further
notice, you are urged to turn down your thermostat to 60 degrees or
lower and avoid the use of other natural gas appliances including hot
water,” Xcel Energy said. WCCO’s Reg Chapman said shortly before noon Wednesday that Xcel Energy is asking customers to lower thermostat to 55 degrees. Xcel Energy says residents’ cooperation is critical to prevent
widespread natural gas outages. The company also suggests using electric
space heaters.
Increasing amounts of natural gas are fueling electricity generation in the state. In 2016, about one-seventh of the natural gas consumed in Minnesota went to the electric power sector, more than double the amount of natural gas used for electricity generation in 2011.
Obama beat Romney but never got the House back, best case scenario now for Trump
No, until Hillary Clinton the GOP had no path.
Six more years of gridlock is the future, at best.
And to think, he coulda been a contenda.
Trump never got that separation of powers thingy, didn't realize even a Republican legislative is his enemy
Separate! Separate! Dance to the music . . .
Here's what's wrong with Chicago: 1,745 people there are trying to save feral cats from the cold
Memo to you lunatics: God sends cold weather like this to cleanse the earth of vermin. Don't get in His way. You are not doing His work. You are mentally ill. Shelter in place and seek medical attention as soon as it's safe to go outside.
