Let It Be

Commerce always results in inequalities of outcome, and always should result in unequal rewards because different people have different abilities and desires to add value to the economy. It is, however, also true that commerce, which is based on contracts between consenting buyers and sellers, insinuates throughout society an egalitarian ethos that is subversive of aristocratic status.--Will


Dinner at Zinho. Mom thought her food better than at Senti.

 are more electric scooters than people in Pacific Beach, a crowded neighborhood in San Diego. Scooters from Lime, Bird, Lyft, Uber, and Razor are parked along the main path. People can even rent tiny electric bikes from a company called Wheels.

According to Pew Research estimates, about 2 percent of American adults are Jewish and 1 percent are Muslim.

This is surprising and under-reportedIn the Marist poll, 90 percent of Democrats thought a plan that provided for a public option was a good idea, as compared to 64 percent who supported a Sanders-style Medicare for All plan that would replace private health insurance. The popularity of the public option also carries over to independent voters: 70 percent support it, as compared to 39 percent for Medicare for All.
Medicare isn't very popular.

The interviewer and stand-up comic Joe Rogan reaches over 5.8 million subscribers on his YouTube channel. That's O'Reilly levels.

27 percent of Americans say immigration is the most important problem facing the country today, the highest number of any issue, according to data released by Gallup this week.

Mueller’s investigation ignored that FISA applications evidence presented to justify warrants to surveil Trump associates were not verified. Mueller did not seem to even know about this problem, the essential reason the investigations were initiated.

recent YouGov poll found that one in six British people agreed with the statement: “The moon landings were staged.” Four per cent believed the hoax theory was “definitely true”, 12% that it was “probably true”, with a further 9% registering as don’t knows. Moon hoaxism was more prevalent among the young: 21 % of 24- to 35-year-olds agreed that the moon landings were staged, compared with 13% of over-55s.


Despite what we hear from politicians like Bernie Sanders, labor unions and the “Fight for $15” crowd, employees compete not against employers for higher wages, but against other employees. And it’s also the case that employers compete against other employers for the best employees. It’s like that in every market: buyers (employers) always compete against other buyers (employers), and sellers (employees) always compete against other sellers (employees).--Perry

On this day in 1949, the world’s first jet-propelled airliner, the British De Havilland Comet, made its maiden test-flight in England. The jet engine would ultimately revolutionize the airline industry, shrinking air travel time in half by enabling planes to climb faster and fly higher.

The Beatles may have been hiding evil beneath their lyrics. This is from "Get Back:"

Sweet Loretta Modern
thought she was a woman,
But she was another man.
All the girls around her
said she had it coming
But she gets it while she can.
Get back! Get back!
Get back to where you once belonged

This is an obvious criticism of the sacred concepts of Identity generally and the Trans Community specifically, hostile and intolerant, with preemptive reminiscence of "Send her back!"
So...should The Beatles and their music be banned?







Jo Jo was a man who thought he was a loner,
But he knew it wouldn't last.
Jo Jo left his home in Tucson Arizona,
for some California grass.
Get back! Get back!
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back! Get back!
Get back to where you once belonged.
Get back Jo Jo
[nstrumental verse]
Get back! Get back!
Get back to where you once belonged
You better go on back! Get back!
Get back to where you once belonged.
Get back
Yeah
Sweet Loretta Modern
thought she was a woman,
But she was another man.
All the girls around her
said she had it coming
But she gets it while she can.
Get back! Get back!
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back! You better get on back
Get back to where you once belonged.
Get back! Get back!
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back Jo Jo
Get back! Get back!
Get back to where you once belonged
Ah yeah, ow
Get back, Loretta
You're mama's waitin'
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Ow Ow
Ow Ow Ow
Get back
Me and you
Jo Jo was a man who thought he was a loner,
But he knew it couldn't last.
Jo Jo left his home in Tucson Arizona,
for some California grass.
