A new study found that air pollution is disproportionately caused by white Americans' consumption of goods and services — but disproportionately inhaled by black and Hispanic Americans. https://t.co/79sKxdtBzh
— NPR (@NPR) March 11, 2019
Remember when The Respectables were trying to have Tucker Carlson fired for mentioning that Latinos litter a lot?
You can tell by how Hispanics all drive electric cars, hybrids, or whatever has the best pollution control equipment.
Future headline: “White People Found to Be a Waste of Space.”
Seriously, there isn’t all that much air pollution in the U.S. anymore. As a Los Angeles native I want thank everybody in the rest of country for the considerable economic sacrifices you all made to help clean up L.A.’s smog problem. I’ve tried to get economists to estimate how much getting rid of smog in L.A., Albuquerque, and Denver cost the country: I figure easily 12 digits and maybe 13, but nobody else seems interested in the question.
Back when there was a lot of smog in Southern California the pecking order went from West to East as the prevailing winds blew in off the ocean:
Whites along the beach had it best
Blacks in southwest L.A. had the second best air
Mexicans in east L.A.
Chinese in the San Gabriel Valley
Whites and Mexicans in the Inland Empire had the worst air, especially Fontana, where the Kaiser steel mill was built 55 miles inland to be out of range of Japanese battleship guns.
Why do you say the rest of the country paid for LA’s clean air?? Are you referring to deindustrialization?
The last thing I remember before I left California was that the Southern California pollution authorities were on the verge of outlawing barbecuing. It sounded crazy, but the numbers and the science was convincing. The fact that it never happened must mean (1) car improvements got the pollution low enough that further cuts were not useful, or (2) the sacred cultural custom of blacks barbecuing anywhere and everywhere would have been harmed, and dat's jus' racis'.Replies: @Anonym
I think you’re missing the Hidden Hand here. This is pure battle space preparation.
Obviously, urban blacks and Latinos are the helpless victims of Enviro-Racial Social Injustice.
Therefore they all need to be Section 8ed out to the boondocks, preferably in flyover Red states, where they can dilute the White vote (and ultimately flip the Senate), cause endless mayhem which will disrupt White social capital and further impede White family formation, further depress White birth rates, impregnate as many White girls as possible (always a plus), and also, oh, I don’t know how this just happened by accident alongside everything else… free up vast acres of now-empty primo urban housing stock at low, LOW prices, to serve the gentrification needs of Goodwhites and, most importantly, (((Our Bestest Friends Forever))).
Think of the Environmental Justice: Da’Travious and Yolanda get to breathe that fresh, clean country air, Bob’s house gets burglarized, Sally gets raped, little Hunter’s school is enriched/ruined, Burkittsville becomes unliveable, Kawanda DeAndre Washington gets elected to Congress, Israel Israelstein is the new senator from Dullston, and most importantly, Judah Shekelstein’s real estate development company in Capital City is going blazes selling converted lofts and renovated brownstones to Jared, Madison, N’Gungche, Hotep, Mei-mei and Nusrallah.
Won’t somebody please, PLEASE think of the fair-trade coffee?

Yeah but just tracking dollars has no necessary relationship to “pollution.” For example, as an ultra-privileged white person, I may spend $30 on filet mignon for dinner today, and that gets me about a pound of meat. Meanwhile, Jose over in the food desert part of town spends $15 at the store and gets four pounds of chopped meat for his tacos. Jose is consuming 4x the meat for 0.5x the cost. So who’s created more “pollution”?
Further, I may spend two or three times as much on vegetables because I buy organic. Jose buys the cheapest, pesticide laden vegetables he can find. I spent more, but I polluted considerably less.
And that’s not even comparing my new car to Jose’s beater that goes around spewing smoke.
this was precisely my first reaction. Looking at "consumption" as the result of dollars spent and nothing else is far too simplistic. I confess to not knowing the journal PNAS from its acronym, so I clicked the link. Apparently, the Proceedings from the National Academy of Sciences.
The method itself is so simplistic and crude, I am surprised that no-one on the peer review committee mentioned the issue of the VALUE of the goods consumed rather than the QUANTITY. As you mention, such a method would say that "organically farmed raw kale" that sells for $20 a pound represents greater "consumption" than a $1 hotdog made of rendered pork.
But worse still, I wondered where "Asians" - who in many analyses represent the most economically well to do people in the US - are in all of this? Surely, a group (many of whom purchase "specialty" foods from the home country at places like 99 Ranch, that are flown in from China or India or Indonesia with what has got to be a massive "carbon footprint") have some impact.
Guess what? They get rolled into "white."
Seriously.
From the paper, "white" is defined as:This is junk science.

I was always measured at 6'3, but after almost 20 years of lifting weights, it feels like my spine has compressed somewhat. Forgive my ignorance, but that's how it feels, and I'm between 6'2 and 6'3 now when I get my physical.

Can’t wait for the NPR Headline: Blacks and Hispanics Disproportionately Use Government Services Whites Pay For.
Presumably that’s coming soon, right?
Jonathan Lambert, the author of the NPR hit piece, suffered a traumatic brain injury in 2014. That injury along with his growing up as a bullied skinny white boy in Minnesota has effected his ability to reason clearly. Jonathan reminds me of an Argentinian fellow I once worked with who looked like he had it made. Tall, good looking and blonde, he was loved by women. Then he hit his head on the top of an elevator door while running/jumping to board and was knocked clean out. Several months later he decided he was gay.

And it is the economic activity of Whites that drives blacks and hispanics from around the world to move here in the first place. No mention in the story about immigration or the need to prevent current and future immigrants from being exposed to disproportionately more pollution. What about all those poor kids at the border? They should be sent to a cleaner country.
The easy solution would be to leave the USA and let Whites inhale all of the pollution Whites cause. Then Whites would inhale 100 percent of the pollution.
Right. We don’t want to take away White people’s money. That’s the only reason a study, if you can call it that, was done. It’s more justification for some wealth-transfer program or another.
If you want to ameliorate the greater dependence on automobile transportation, do a study where you show that blacks commit disproportionately more interracial crime and Whites are the biggest receivers of such crime. Then link that to White flight and increased automobile usage.
another way of wording this is that whites produce most of the goods that Hispanics consume
When I was growing up in LA circa 1974, our family used to visit the tide pools on the beach and look for neat sea creatures. There were always young Chicanos who would find pretty crabs and such and then just throw them on the rocks to die. Of course, as the recipients of countless microaggressions, that’s just a rational response.
“If you’re contributing less to the problem, why do you have to suffer more from it?”
Because you’re stupid.
NPR plans a follow-up study looking at which US ethnic groups disproportionately receive social welfare benefits and which ones disproportionately provide tax revenues to fund those benefits.

Naive readers like myself at the time did not foresee he would be so quick to bite the hand that feeds and go full SJW.
The attitude of our ruling class and our new Americans towards White Americans is exactly the same attitude that the Agents in the movie The Matrix have towards humanity: We are nothing but a battery. And are sickening.
When I was car shopping in 1979, the EPA mileage stickers came with a national estimate (e.g., 28 MPG) and a California sticker (e.g., 25 MPG). So I assumed that back then California cars consumed 10-15% more gasoline to pollute less. California officials always complained that shoppers were going out of state to get more efficient but more polluting cars. Eventually, stickers stopped making that distinction, so I assume that the rest of the country switched to California standards, which seems expensive. Or perhaps engineers figured out a way to reach California emission levels with national MPG? I dunno. It seems like an interesting question but nobody else seems interested, so perhaps I remember it wrong?

Ron Paul and Rand Paul say the government ain’t no good and it won’t do nothing right.
Ron Paul must have noticed that Pittsburgh ain’t as polluted with bad air like it used to be. That’s bad grammar, but I ain’t fixin’ it.
Satellite view says ruling class plots involving the de-industrialization of the USA had just as much to do with cleaning up polluted, dirty air in the USA as government clean air regulations and laws.
Bringing up that Kraut Ron Paul and his home state of Pennsylvania gives me the chance to mention my GERMAN STRATEGY notion about Trump winning the votes of the Great Lakes states and the fact that those states are loaded the Hell up with Krauts. I love Krauts that are lovable.
The ruling class of the American Empire used the de-industrialization of the USA to export the pollution to other nations and to make money on the cheap labor arbitrage action.
Omar might be suggesting that Trump’s hot air about protecting Medicare and Medicaid was dirty, polluted campaign outgassing rhetoric designed to get the votes of White geezers in Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan and other states. Trumpy was screaming about protecting Medicare and now he wants to take a meat cleaver to Medicare. Trumpy is backstabbing the White voter base that got him elected.
This Omar broad is firing with both barrels at the ruling class rats in the USA. Trump is a whore for the ruling class.
Trumpy’s dishonest outgassings are polluted, dirty air that must be challenged from the Sam Francis patriotic wing of the GOP in the 2020 Republican Party presidential primary.
It is a disgusting disgrace that we have to import a Somali broad to question US foreign policy blunders and the influence of the ISRAEL FIRST LOBBY. Now Omar is bringing up the plundering of Medicare by treasonous Trump and the ruling class plutocrat rats:
… the solution?
To paraphrase Orwell, a glimpse of the terrible future can be had envisioning a huge, fat black/brown ass endlessly and foully farting in a white man’s face, whilst The Economist editorial board tie that said white man down.

Given the length of the walk, Jonathan Lambert almost certainly walked up Buffalo Street in Ithaca which is steep and straight, about a 300′ rise from Ithaca Commons, downtown. The other approaches to campus are at an angle, and less steep. It’s a tough walk when it is cold, windy and icy.
Poor guy. What a stroke of terribly bad luck.
You have it right. I believe the motorcycle manufacturers went with California only models for a while longer. They used to put an aluminum plug over the carburetor adjustment screws which everyone immediately drilled out. I’m not as interested as I once was, but my understanding is that increasingly sophisticated fuel management software has obviated the need for separate standards.
I remember reading an article in one of the magazines years ago in which they described measuring the tailpipe emissions of a Honda? Civic? in the L.A. basin. The air coming out of the exhaust pipe was cleaner than that going in the intake.
Efforts to reduce air pollution from transportation have proven to be cost effective. For every one dollar spent on programs to reduce emissions, the American people receive nine dollars of benefits to public health and the environment.Every dollar spent to reduce emissions from mobile sources under the Clean Air Act results in nine dollars of benefits to public health, the environment, productivity, and consumer savings.Replies: @JMcG

California passed pollution laws that were stricter than laws nationwide, which raised the price of cars sold in California, and for various practical reasons car makers for the most part had to just sell the California models nationwide at the higher prices.
The last thing I remember before I left California was that the Southern California pollution authorities were on the verge of outlawing barbecuing. It sounded crazy, but the numbers and the science was convincing. The fact that it never happened must mean (1) car improvements got the pollution low enough that further cuts were not useful, or (2) the sacred cultural custom of blacks barbecuing anywhere and everywhere would have been harmed, and dat’s jus’ racis’.

Not sure why there isn’t an isteve article up yet about the admissions bribery scandal, but I’m commenting anyway.
The effective function of higher education is to supply employers with a good-enough proxy for IQ, since paper-and-pencil testing for employment is verboten under Duke vs Griggs Power and its successors, and somehow while the caselaw is moving towards forbidding “criminal background” as a filter because of disparate impact problems, using a bachelor’s degree as an employment filter is obvious and good.
The education supplied is often secondary–most students don’t end up working in their field, but they have a BA, or a BA from a Good School, or a BA from a Really Good School. Since education doesn’t matter, teaching doesn’t matter–you recruited who you recruited and admitted who you admitted, that die is cast. Work on boosting your school’s SAT profile over time, but what the kids actually learn doesn’t enter into the evaluation.
Since education is secondary, you farm it out to the cheapest, most disposable people you have–grad students and adjuncts.

A sad story told hilariously.
A good way for whites to start atoning for our air pollution privilege would be to make sure no brown person ever has to inhale the secondhand smoke of a lawnmower or leaf-blower.
It’s the compartmentalized logic that the left has to rely on for their logically incoherent folk tales…oops, I mean news stories, to work. Only bad things bleed over from the white population to affect the non-white population. Positive things like charities, which whites contribute to more than blacks and Hispanics (and as Steve said, fuel efficient cars) won’t be mentioned by NPR. It’s modern mythology at work.
I have three antique cars that pollute a hell of a lot, I guess, but I don’t worry about it. I only drive them a few hundred miles a year and my maintenance expenditures help keep a significant portion of the auto parts industry afloat.
Years ago all the illegal alien invaders in the Pilsen neighborhood of Chicago go the Midwest Power Generation coal fired power plant shut down. There are so many Mexican invaders that the nearby Benito Juarez Academy (Chicago Public High School) not only had to expand to accommodate the aliens & anchor babies, they flew the MEXICAN FLAG along with the US flag!

The effective function of higher education is to supply employers with a good-enough proxy for IQ, since paper-and-pencil testing for employment is verboten under Duke vs Griggs Power and its successors, and somehow while the caselaw is moving towards forbidding "criminal background" as a filter because of disparate impact problems, using a bachelor's degree as an employment filter is obvious and good.
The education supplied is often secondary--most students don't end up working in their field, but they have a BA, or a BA from a Good School, or a BA from a Really Good School. Since education doesn't matter, teaching doesn't matter--you recruited who you recruited and admitted who you admitted, that die is cast. Work on boosting your school's SAT profile over time, but what the kids actually learn doesn't enter into the evaluation.
Since education is secondary, you farm it out to the cheapest, most disposable people you have--grad students and adjuncts. Spend your money on ameneties to impress 17 year olds, woke programs to fend off charges of racism and whateverism, recruit megadonors to finance buildings, and administrative bloat.

And the combination organic hot yoga/pole dancing studio (method/genre/school identity protected via nondisclosure agreements signed by its participants/students/clients, a la Ramtha School of Enlightenment).

And the First Nations art store (enrobed in an uninterrupted reticulum of carved and painted wings, beaks, flippers, and eyeballs).
And the Fur Nations pet shop, where everything for sale is primate, bipedal, occasionally hairless, and has 46 chromosomes.
(Next door, for the sake of Genetic Justice, to Potayto Potahto, the eatery whose menu consists of only Solanaceae, cooked and served only by people with trisomy 21, and decorated with cheerful murals of neckless brown people atop slanty piles of smooth stone, carving the hearts out of horrible white males.)
All of which serve as fronts for laundering Ford Foundation (etc.) and SorosBux (TM) and BigLaw and Big Pharma and REIT and hedge fund and “deep state” money.

Their (Asian and Hispanics) women are cooking at home, lots more than white women do. Too many white women view it as demeaning and slavery. And truthfully, I think they are clueless and untalented when it comes to cooking. They don’t wanna know. Pig ignorance is bliss for them.
When the wife/woman is cooking at home you are obviously going to be eating well and more healthy food.
Maybe your wife doesn’t cook, and considers cooking demeaning slavery but most White wives and mothers do cook.

There are hourly ads in TV featuring Hispanic women bringing in a bag of groceries, fruit and vegetables and other healthy food. Then the Hispanic woman talks about how she is fighting her children’s obesity with fruit and vegetables and healthy food. Obviously there’s no need to harangue White woken about healthy food and obese children.
The anti fast food liberals are always publishing articles and lectures that Hispanics are the biggest consumers of unhealthy obesity causing burgers and fries.
You are just a misogynistic incel loser who hates White woman. Just because your mother didn’t cook for you and your wife ( if you have one) doesn’t cook for you doesn’t mean other White men’s wives don’t cook healthy food.
Your claim that Hispanic women cook healthy food for their families is ridiculous in the face of Hispanic obesity child hood diabetes heart and vascular problems and other health problems because of what they eat.
You can’t have ever seen a Hispanic in your life if you think they eat healthy

Your belief/memory of the way it was is right. I drilled out a few of those plugs back in the late 70’s early ’80. The plugs were near universal for both motorbike and auto carbs sold in CA. I still have one of those carbs, plugs intact, in the garage.
Also according to the EPA, maybe California deserves some thanks?
Contributions to the U.S. Economy
Efforts to reduce air pollution from transportation have proven to be cost effective. For every one dollar spent on programs to reduce emissions, the American people receive nine dollars of benefits to public health and the environment.
Every dollar spent to reduce emissions from mobile sources under the Clean Air Act results in nine dollars of benefits to public health, the environment, productivity, and consumer savings.
I remember my first flight in a small airplane, in late 79 or early 1980. We climbed out of a suburban Philadelphia airport and saw the brown smog dome over Philadelphia. I was appalled. It was truly horrifying to think that people breathed that stuff
I fly small airplanes myself now, started over twenty years ago- I’ve never seen that pollution dome over any major city since.
Clean air is good in and of itself, priceless even. I’m glad that California did what it did and that it was effective. I’m also glad that those who were so inclined could pretty easily work out ways to get around it. It’s the best of all possible worlds.

You misspelled Lennurd Pittsnogle. Come on Duck, you’re slipping.
Ron Paul must have noticed that Pittsburgh ain't as polluted with bad air like it used to be. That's bad grammar, but I ain't fixin' it.
Satellite view says ruling class plots involving the de-industrialization of the USA had just as much to do with cleaning up polluted, dirty air in the USA as government clean air regulations and laws.
Bringing up that Kraut Ron Paul and his home state of Pennsylvania gives me the chance to mention my GERMAN STRATEGY notion about Trump winning the votes of the Great Lakes states and the fact that those states are loaded the Hell up with Krauts. I love Krauts that are lovable.
The ruling class of the American Empire used the de-industrialization of the USA to export the pollution to other nations and to make money on the cheap labor arbitrage action.
Omar might be suggesting that Trump's hot air about protecting Medicare and Medicaid was dirty, polluted campaign outgassing rhetoric designed to get the votes of White geezers in Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan and other states. Trumpy was screaming about protecting Medicare and now he wants to take a meat cleaver to Medicare. Trumpy is backstabbing the White voter base that got him elected.
This Omar broad is firing with both barrels at the ruling class rats in the USA. Trump is a whore for the ruling class.
Trumpy's dishonest outgassings are polluted, dirty air that must be challenged from the Sam Francis patriotic wing of the GOP in the 2020 Republican Party presidential primary.
It is a disgusting disgrace that we have to import a Somali broad to question US foreign policy blunders and the influence of the ISRAEL FIRST LOBBY. Now Omar is bringing up the plundering of Medicare by treasonous Trump and the ruling class plutocrat rats:

Daily Mail:
Lori Loughlin's YouTube star daughter is being mercilessly trolled on social media after her mother was among those charged in a plot to help wealthy Americans cheat their children's way into universities. Olivia Jade Giannulli, who is the 19-year-old daughter of Loughlin and designer Mossimo Giannulli, started attending classes at the University of Southern California last year. Her parents were charged on Tuesday for allegedly paying $500,000 to get Olivia into USC as a fake rowing recruit. They also have another daughter 20-year-old Isabella who also attends USC. The teen, who goes by Olivia Jade on her YouTube channel, was immediately slammed on her social media accounts by those who accused her of taking away another student's place at the college.

It is not a myth, but depending on weight (good job, Steve!), postural habits, line of work, and the kind of sport/exercise you do, shrinkage might not begin until your late 60s/early 70s.
50 is too early for most. Some very active athletes might actually be slightly shorter during their career in their 20s than at 55.
OT: The Academic bribery scandal. Why would the elite try to bribe their way into elite schools? Most of them could get in anyway without a problem. You just identify yourself to the starstruck admissions officials. Plus, there are plenty of top-tier schools available if your kid doesn’t get into Harvard. Frankly, our rich elite kids have a history of not being quite so obsessed with getting into their school of choice. There’s an old saying that once your daddy makes over a certain amount of money, their kids don’t care about doing well in school anymore because they’ve got trust funds and fat inheritances to take care of everything.
In England, the richest people in the country don’t go to Oxford or Cambridge, and they don’t care. They go to Cirencester, the Royal Agricultural College, because the rich over there own large landed estates which need management. Many Sloane Ranger British women don’t go to college at all and don’t mind. They don’t need to find rich husbands by making connections at college because they already move among the social circles of people who are even richer and more powerful.
I wonder if this is the effect of the internet, which makes envious people even more envious and striving for what they don’t have. It’s certainly made the whole 3rd world want to move to the Europe or the US. Maybe the internet has made even the elite feel insecure unless they achieve certain goals.
My father went to college there. He told me they could tell which girls were not freshman: The muscles in their legs were more developed, from walking up and down hill. That is to say, they had better legs.

This scandal has a number of angles such as tax evasion because tax deductible payments were made to a charity that Mr Singer operated. He then bribed the right people, from people in university athletic departments, to SAT test proctors. Unfolding, and this will only get more interesting.
Partly a Title IX scandal in that Title IX gives us bloated woman’s athletic departments that are given more money than what they know what to with. So they hand out lots of athletic scholarships. Two of the girls were put on their college crew (rowing) teams with scholarships via falsification (hyping) of their crew experiences in high school. People were bribed in the university to do this. Then once in college the girls faked injuries to get off any real rowing and competing.
The C.A.R.B., for those who don’t know, runs, or I should say, ruins, a lot of things. I had to stock up on the old recipe of Olympic Water Stain, as the new non-VOC stuff didn’t look at all the same, and I didn’t trust it. I made the effort to get ahold of the people in Cleveland, Ohio, I recall. They told me, no, there is no more old formula per California Air Resources Board, so go look around and get the old stuff while you can.
No, you can’t have any of my old-formula Olympic Water Seal, not even an ounce. I can’t spare an ounce, as it’s gotta last a lifetime. I have lots of ammo with which to guard my Olympic Water Seal.
How about those dicked-up spouts that come with every single gasoline can? I got some old ones of those too. Fighting the CARB every day is like a part time job, one about which I have a post planned.
Steve is on the money with this part about the rest of the country paying for Southern California’s pollution problem. Without Big-Gov, of course, it could have gone a lot differently.
‘Troll’ was funny because it seemed like a gripe against bragging.

Cæsar,
My aunt, now in her late 70’s, just last week went out to Vegas to catch a Donnie & Marie show. Reliving younger days I guess? She and her family (my cousins) happened to live a few houses down the street (Ogden Utah) from the Osmond’s in the late 1960’s. The cousins were childhood friends with the youngest of the Osmonds and “introduced” my sister and I to them when we were there over a summer. Have an old 8mm roll of the interactions in a container, but they’ll likely never see light again. The youngest Osmond seemed a little taken with my sister, which annoyed her cousin Jenny.
You can get this in much of NV TX FL with no state income tax.
What you can’t get there are both mild winters and mild low humidity zero-rain summers.
I use my AC maybe 40 days a year, and did fine without any AC at my old apartment. Utility gas is still very cheap in California, so average monthly heat/cooling costs are about $70 in summer, $40 in winter, and zero spring and fall.

The last thing I remember before I left California was that the Southern California pollution authorities were on the verge of outlawing barbecuing. It sounded crazy, but the numbers and the science was convincing.

IIRC they got the car pollution down low enough in LA that they could notice a blip on the weekends caused by lawn mowers and recreational boating.

One major moral of this story which many people need to get is that situational awareness is always essential. Headphones AND not looking where he was walking when it was icy out? I can’t even relationship to that type of foolishness. Nowadays you see so many people utterly oblivious to their surroundings. It’s very strange to me.
If everyone else is staring into their phones you don’t need to consider them a threat, unless it’s to avoid running into them, and that is what peripheral vision is for. Which also enables driving while reading iSteve, or so I’ve been told.
Who doesn’t! It’s not like US heritage Blacks, Caribbean Blacks, East Asias, South Asians, Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Central Americans, Cubans etc all want to live in proportional representation on the same block, or even (or especially!) within shooting distance of each other.
Obviously, urban blacks and Latinos are the helpless victims of Enviro-Racial Social Injustice.
Therefore they all need to be Section 8ed out to the boondocks, preferably in flyover Red states, where they can dilute the White vote (and ultimately flip the Senate), cause endless mayhem which will disrupt White social capital and further impede White family formation, further depress White birth rates, impregnate as many White girls as possible (always a plus), and also, oh, I don't know how this just happened by accident alongside everything else... free up vast acres of now-empty primo urban housing stock at low, LOW prices, to serve the gentrification needs of Goodwhites and, most importantly, (((Our Bestest Friends Forever))).

This is clearly one of those junk “advocacy studies” that cherry picks its facts and reverse engineers a methodology to produce a predetermined finding.
In this case, it appears that they just assume that each race “causes” air pollution equivalent to its share of GNP — with the trivial tweak of doing the analysis first on each industry segment of GNP and then aggregating the results (which just replicates the same result as total GNP anyway).
According to Wikipedia the household income gap between Whites and Blacks is equal to about 60% of the Black median income (W=$79,340, B=$49,629; W-B = $29,711; $29,711/$49,629 = 60%.) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Household_income_in_the_United_States
This is virtually identical to the study’s claim that blacks “bear 56% more air pollution than they produce.”
So it looks like the study is entirely circular — it merely finds that: (a) if you simply assume that pollution is produced in proportion to income; and (b) people tend to breath the same amount of air regardless of income; then (c) the ratio of inhaled air to income goes up as income goes down. Duh.

In this case, it appears that they just assume that each race "causes" air pollution equivalent to its share of GNP -- with the trivial tweak of doing the analysis first on each industry segment of GNP and then aggregating the results (which just replicates the same result as total GNP anyway).According to Wikipedia the household income gap between Whites and Blacks is equal to about 60% of the Black median income (W=$79,340, B=$49,629; W-B = $29,711; $29,711/$49,629 = 60%.) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Household_income_in_the_United_States
This is virtually identical to the study's claim that blacks "bear 56% more air pollution than they produce."
So it looks like the study is entirely circular -- it merely finds that: (a) if you simply assume that pollution is produced in proportion to income; and (b) people tend to breath the same amount of air regardless of income; then (c) the ratio of inhaled air to income goes up as income goes down. Duh.Replies: @midtown, @Uncle Dan
The logical solution to this injustice: whites (and Asians) must breathe 60% more.

The effective function of higher education is to supply employers with a good-enough proxy for IQ, since paper-and-pencil testing for employment is verboten under Duke vs Griggs Power and its successors, and somehow while the caselaw is moving towards forbidding "criminal background" as a filter because of disparate impact problems, using a bachelor's degree as an employment filter is obvious and good.
The education supplied is often secondary--most students don't end up working in their field, but they have a BA, or a BA from a Good School, or a BA from a Really Good School. Since education doesn't matter, teaching doesn't matter--you recruited who you recruited and admitted who you admitted, that die is cast. Work on boosting your school's SAT profile over time, but what the kids actually learn doesn't enter into the evaluation.
Since education is secondary, you farm it out to the cheapest, most disposable people you have--grad students and adjuncts. Spend your money on ameneties to impress 17 year olds, woke programs to fend off charges of racism and whateverism, recruit megadonors to finance buildings, and administrative bloat.

“The effective function of higher education is to supply employers with a good-enough proxy for IQ”
Is it, though? I’m sure for one sort of college, that’s the case. For good public universities, land grant schools, etc that’s the effective function, but for other sorts of schools, it’s not. Some schools are places for the children of rich people to be around other rich people’s children. The sort of schools that are like that have always been like that, and were always only competative for the non-rich kids who were the sort of kids that rich parents wanted around. Lots of smart kids, kids that were world class artists or musicians, kids whose parents were important people in foreign countries.
The real effective function of some colleges is to act as a form of passive eugenics for the upper class. Keeping the rich rich and also keeping them well-rounded, smart, and good-looking.
Elite and big corp employers just aren’t set up to hire 18 year olds, who can be good workers but require more training and different styles of management.
If there were a large pool of 120+ IQ conscientious 18-21 year olds who wanted to work full time, employers would adapt to take advantage of them. But most such people want to go to college, not work. And the exceptions usually have very specific career goals, like “run family business” or “Long Island cop, retire at 43 with $100k pension for life.”
Peter Thiel has a special program for high IQ computer programmers who want to skip or drop out of college, but it is a niche.Replies: @Discordiax
Most bright 18-21 year olds want to go to college. Of course they do. Most 18-21 year olds want to, and why wouldn’t they. If you’re a bright 18 year old, it’s a place full of other smart young people and books and smart old people and things to learn. If books aren’t your speed, well, it’s a four-year (or four-year-plus) bacchanalia. And as far as the kids know it’s the key to whatever it is they want to do in life.
That doesn’t mean it’s the only place they can function. It’s the default, so they do it. That wasn’t always true. 18-year-olds function perfectly well in non-college jobs, in the military, and in white-collar jobs before 1950 or 60 or 70.
There have been some guys in the neighborhood without a college degree but who are bright, organized and ambitious. Sometimes they make enough to move to a nicer neighborhood, sometimes they have the nicest houses or cars in the neighborhood.
These guys start out doing blue collar work and eventually start a business. A restaurant worker opens his own restaurant. A plumber opens his own plumbing business. An HVAC tech opens his own HVAC business. It’s nice when there is a problem in the house and someone up or down the block will give me a good price because he can stop by on the way home.
The blue collar jobs aren’t as lucrative as they once were. A local farmer told me how much he used to earn roofing in season before the contractors all hired cheap Mexican labor.
But there are still SOME opportunities for a skilled worker with pluck and luck.

If the rest of the country adopted California’s more rigorous standards, then the sacrifice they made was for their own benefit, not for California’s.
Auto emissions standards have made a difference in air quality mostly in California and in a few Northeast cities, but the major difference is the loss of our manufacturing base. The primary problem in California for air quality is the same as for every other symptom-too many people in too small a space, and one with air circulation patterns that give it its vaunted Mediterranean climate.
The standards were written originally, in fact, to force automakers to "abandon the internal combustion engine". They figured that steam, gas turbine or Stirling engines would be required to meet the standards and that would make cars radically more expensive. As it turned out, those alternate powerplants could not meet the standards, but the old spark ignition gasoline burning four cycle piston engine could! The auto industry did what they figured as impossible.
If they HAD broke the auto industry-if Atlas had shrugged-we'd be better off now as the enviros would have been smashed down by popular fervor. As it stands, unknowledgeable people think the government was the hero in all this.
In the long run, closed loop EFI and ignition controlled by microprocessors made the gasoline engine more efficient and powerful even while meeting emissions standards. But this kind of engineering progress by government fiat can not be relied on consistently.

I thought this was where Steve may have been going with this topic.
The whole story, of course, is a typical, lazily-made blood libel against Whites, the kind you can see every day is you read the U.S. ‘mainstream’ media. (Almost as if we had a state media and Whites were an enemy group constantly to be rallied against.)
The propagandists are too good at what they do to ever approach the question of What To Do About It, though. Steve is the kind of writer who will satirically ask. “The White Threat to the Environment: Solutions.”
Another iSteve-characteristic approach would have been to ask if the study had even basic controls, as for income.
“Pollution produced per dollar gross income.”
Would the results hold? Would they be reversed?
And why weren’t East Asians (higher avg. incomes than Whites) included?
Emissions controls on diesel engines operated in rural or suburban areas, where their emissions make essentially no measurable difference in air quality, costs farmers and truckers tens of billions a year. Maintenance on diesel engines with particulate filters and urea treatment is MUCH higher than before, and many systems need compromising to make it work. The current engines burn more fuel and break down more often.
Auto emissions standards have made a difference in air quality mostly in California and in a few Northeast cities, but the major difference is the loss of our manufacturing base.

I keep waiting for somebody to document the massive health problems caused by Los Angeles smog in 1950-2000. So far, I haven’t seen it. Oddly enough, Southern California during this period dominated at a number of sports, national and internationally.
The Hong Kong air pollution surge provides a really good test case of the effects on public health, because the air quality here declined so fast, then stayed bad for a while, then improved really quickly as well. The following graph shows essentially the number of hours a year here when visibility is low because of smog; it's a reasonable proxy for air pollution in general:
http://www.weather.gov.hk/cis/statistic/img/hkoredvis1.jpg
If air pollution had serious deleterious effects on public health, you'd expect to be able to see them develop in a case like this, but in spite of the local press's ravenous hunger for just such stories, they couldn't come up with much. And, as my previous post showed, life expectancy here just kept climbing steadily throughout that period.
It's led me to conclude that the effects of air pollution are mostly aesthetic and economic. The bad air here likely hurt HK economically to some degree, because it made it seem that after the 1997 handover we had been coopted as just another filthy PRC city, i.e. somewhere you'd not want to live unless you were Chinese. During this period Singapore prospered, possibly at HK's expense, as some multinationals moved staff there because it was so clean and tidy, and appealed to wealthy expats' expectations.
I'm still really glad the air here is much better now, though.

Hong Kong’s female life expectancy of 88 years is simply extraordinary. It means that it normal for a woman there today to expect to live to extreme old age. What is staggering is that number has gone up by 8 years over the last quarter century, not something you’d expect at the far right tail of human life expectancy.

The awful pollution really didn’t really start until the late 1990s, after the handover to Beijing, when Shenzen industrialized far beyond what it was in 1994. But by then, I had left. I have traveled to Beijing and New Delhi, both of which are extremely polluted nowadays, with an air quality index worse than 300, at times. I do very poorly, and can’t spend more than a few days in either location.
The first week I moved to Hong Kong, I came down with a really bad stomach bug, while staying at the Hilton and eating there. The doctor, upon learning that I had just moved there, asked me if had drunk the water out of the faucet. I replied that I had, and had assumed, that in Hong Kong, even then very much a first-world city, the water would be safe. The doctor said “Do you realize you are in the Pearl River Delta, downstream from a billion Chinese?”

The Cuomos are an odd dynasty in that that the latest Governor Cuomo of New York, who looks like barkeep Moe Syzlak on the Simpsons, seems more like a roughhewn first generation dynast, while his silvertongued dad seemed more refined and aristocratic.
Very few other places in the country have the geography to cause inversion layers: Albuquerque is one.
When the breeze blows in off the ocean, as it does most of the year, it would jam smog up against those mountains, which are currently covered in snow because they are up to 11,500 feet tall.
My proof? I live in Hong Kong, where we had roughly a decade (about 2002-2012) of really awful air for much of year because of pollution generated by heavy industry across the border in Guangdong Province drifting over on prevailing winds.
Throughout that period, the local media were rife with frantic stories, usually featuring righteous expats who were being interviewed just minutes before boarding their flights to fly home to Blighty or Oz or NZ so they could again breathe the clean, pure air of their homelands.
During that period, however, HK's life expectancy was at or near the longest in the world, and continued to rise steadily. The following graph shows there was no change in this trend whatsoever even when the air quality here declined precipitously:
https://www.chp.gov.hk/files/gif/ncdd1_life_20181002_en.gif
HK's 2018 life expectancy figures are 82 for men; 88 for women -- still tops. People in HK live longer than people in Blighty, Oz, and NZ -- and the USA, for that matter.
Today HK's air is much better, since a lot of manufacturing has moved out of the PRC down to Vietnam and other poorer countries, plus the mainland government is cracking down of the worst polluters. But the green groups and the English-language media try hard to maintain the perception that there's an air pollution crisis here.
Clean air is great; I'm all for it. I hope that HK's air continues to improve, just as air quality has improved in many western cities, thereby improving quality of life in general. But I find it hard to believe that it makes a significant difference specifically to life expectancy.Replies: @Steve Sailer, @PiltdownMan, @Reg Cæsar
Hong Kong can be quite windy, as this poor Black Watchman found out:
Ill-wind exposes secret of Scots’ success
Regression to the meanie.
Yes, exactly.
The Hong Kong air pollution surge provides a really good test case of the effects on public health, because the air quality here declined so fast, then stayed bad for a while, then improved really quickly as well. The following graph shows essentially the number of hours a year here when visibility is low because of smog; it’s a reasonable proxy for air pollution in general:
If air pollution had serious deleterious effects on public health, you’d expect to be able to see them develop in a case like this, but in spite of the local press’s ravenous hunger for just such stories, they couldn’t come up with much. And, as my previous post showed, life expectancy here just kept climbing steadily throughout that period.
It’s led me to conclude that the effects of air pollution are mostly aesthetic and economic. The bad air here likely hurt HK economically to some degree, because it made it seem that after the 1997 handover we had been coopted as just another filthy PRC city, i.e. somewhere you’d not want to live unless you were Chinese. During this period Singapore prospered, possibly at HK’s expense, as some multinationals moved staff there because it was so clean and tidy, and appealed to wealthy expats’ expectations.
I’m still really glad the air here is much better now, though.

Congratulations on the weight loss, which is impressive, but 170-something is pretty skinny for someone of your height.
I’m an inch taller than you, and blimped up to about 235 when I was in my early 30s. I then started paying attention (and running), and dropped down to around 180. Mrs C was not pleased, though, because I lost a lot of subcutaneous fat and wrinkled up. I seem to look and feel best when I’m in the 190s.
You were here at an interesting time, that’s for sure.
It’s true HK air pollution has never reached the apolcalyptic levels sometimes seen in Beijing and a few other mainland cities. I was in Beijing a couple years ago for one of those 300+ days, and it was awful. The strange thing was when I went to bed that night you couldn’t see across the street, but I woke up the next morning to pristine blue skies and unlimited visibility. I felt sorry for the tourists who had been to the Great Wall in the murk one day, only to have to leave the next day knowing they’d missed the views of a lifetime by a matter of hours.
I haven’t seen any confirmation of this, but I suspect Beijing’s air is getting better. The PRC government has really been embarassed by Beijing’s reputation for filthy air, and they’ll take steps sooner or later to restore prestige. Today, for example, the air quality index at the US Embassy in Beijing, right in the city, is an excellent 17.

As far as I recall, post-menopausal women are subject to shrinkage as early as their 40s, due to the effects of estrogen loss on bone density, not middle-age men, a group which arguably Steve still belongs to in our era of longevity, which allows life expectancy for so many until the tenth decade, like Steve’s parents. Medieval peasant men, the few lucky enough to make it to 60, probably lost a few inches, beginning in middle age. My grandmother must have shrunk a damn foot by the time she died at 100. Old guys can keep most of their height.
It’s the structure of the spinal discs. They are like an ice cream sandwich. 2 plates of bone with a collagen fiberous cartilage layer in between.
As we age the middle layer dehydrates and shrinks. Normal activity causes the middle layer to herniate or squish out between the bone plates.
When the middle layer of several discs are dried up and or squished out 1 to 3 inches of the spinal column are lost

My local library which I walk past all the time has a huge poster that can be read from the sidewalk in the window. It’s in Spanish. It urges Hispanics to apply for the food card as a way of fighting Hispanic obesity. The gist of the poster is that they need the food card because otherwise they won’t buy fruits and vegetables and won’t feed their families healthy food. Also some stats about how much Hispanic obesity costs the health system. The poster isn’t in English just Spanish

I remember when Barry Commoner would argue that third world overpopulation was not a big problem because people in the third world had a low consumption of goods and services — and therefore polluted less.
A problem with that, as see it, is those people desire a future where they consume much more.

I think the obese female Hispanics you mention fit more of a Mexican profile. I don’t know why, but not that many Mexicans where I live. But we do get array of Hispanic people from different origins. These Hispanic woman are not obese, though some are a little bit overweight. Here the real obesity and disgusting level morbid obesity is with Black women, and they can be native (with American slave blood) or immigrants.
So in my mind I don’t think of Latinas as being obese and hefty.
