Twenty-Five Years After 9/11: The More People Change, The More We Stay the Same

Politicians often speak as though the world has been transformed. America is now the world’s largest oil producer. Electric vehicles were growing in popularity. Yet, a closer look suggests underlying realities that shaped 9/11 remain surprisingly intact.

The United States became the world’s largest exporter of petroleum products in 2026, reaching roughly 10.5 million barrels per day. At the same time, as gas prices rose, electric vehicle registrations reached only 7.9% of U.S. auto sales. Before the $7,500 New Clean Vehicle (and $4,000 used) tax credits expired on September 30, 2025 battery electric vehicles (BEVs) jumped to a record 12% of light-duty vehicle sales. By December 2025 and moving into 2026, U.S. EV market share plummeted to just 6%. BEVs went from making up 31% of luxury vehicle sales in Q3 2025 down to 12% in Q3 2026. As a result of President Trump ending these credits, our overwhelming majority of transportation still depends on petroleum. The global economy remains tied to oil and gas much as it was a generation ago.

Ukraine isn’t Russian territory, it’s Ukraine.

It’s been inhabited by people for 34,000 years and its city of Odessa, with six warm-water harbors, was occupied by Ancient Greeks from the Holy Roman Empire’s outset!

US Government funding ran out September 30, 2021. The U.S. government owes nearly $29 trillion. U.S. state and local governments owe another $3.5 trillion. Americans today already owe a total $32.5T for public infrastructure. And, since Congress could pass a new $3.5 trillion bill on September 27th, it’s widely reported the government will default unless it borrows more money, wiping out up to $15 trillion in wealth and costing millions of jobs!

Church is pleased to announce a new sermon from ▲Religion. The second annual sermon about effects of Meritocracy, a social system creating opportunities, on economics was published November 29th, 2020.

Consequences of the sermon are Meritocracy is a system of titled achievement similar to nobility that makes a person “entitled.” Advocates argue the alternative, Capitalism, is oppressive and that people born to wealth-less families get overpowered. Yet land is one of many business assets academia doesn’t control so Democrats campaign to socialize means of production. But real growth always stops in Socialist systems like Meritocracies.
