Is rodeo bull riding discriminatory? Should there be cow riding?
"...the conflict isn’t over that specific policy proposal, or even about vaccine mandates. It’s not about the politics surrounding abortion or immigration or foreign policy. It’s not about issues of health or eating habits, about sexuality or workout routines. Those are all downstream from the much bigger, and much deeper question: For what purposes may societies condone the use of violent force?" --Book
Fentanyl in the U.S. illegal drug market is mostly supplied by China. China is the world's most controlled police state in the world. So China doesn't know this and can't help?
Under the new proposals, a family with three kids that make 100,000 dollars a year will qualify for 10,000 dollars subsidies annually. One of the unspoken elements in the Founders' creation was that limited government protected us from more than just government power, it protected us from ourselves. Can a subsidy like this ever be revoked?
Dollar Store is raising prices to $1.25. Wonder why?
So how did 14,000 Haitians living in South America end up on our border? What mysterious flocking tendency suddenly arose and forced them to gather together, all look north, then move as a body to the American border? And where did they go?
Adams, Jefferson, Madison, AOC. Ah, philosophy. “The right of property,” Arthur Lee of Virginia declared, “is the guardian of every other right, and to deprive the people of this, is in fact to deprive them of their liberty.” So property rights are more than an ideal, it's an indicator of freedom. Is this a common opinion of property now?
Does the government work for the majority?
Steak at Giant Eagle is $25/lb. Don't worry, the government plans $1 billion in beef subsidies. Where will the beef lobby and their cronies put that help?
Hinckley has been released?
A 2020 McKinsey report notes that the United States is home to more than 500 pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities—among the highest concentrations in the world—and that the biggest risks to those supply chains are political, not economic. Last week, President Biden issued an executive order initiating a White House-led review of “key” global supply chains (including medical goods and semiconductors) that have been affected by the pandemic. Is that good news? Even the nationalist Trump got out of the way of the development of the Covid vaccine.
A significant source of conflict in this world revolves around how much interference government can make in individual decisions. Sometimes those restrictions come because the government knows what's best for the individual, sometimes what benefits others. Is either of those good reasons?
Apparently, Nobel Prize winners suffer from 'imposter syndrome.' So, a genius looks at previous winners like Einstein and Curie and feels inadequate?
The secretary-general of Nato confirmed that Russia ‘engaged actively with so-called non-governmental organizations – environmental organizations working against shale gas – to maintain Europe’s dependence on imported Russian gas’. I'm sure no one is surprised but why is no one mad?
There is a debate at the highest level in Great Britain--literally-- over whether or not women have a cervix. Is this just idiotic or is it scary?
"This odd mix of childlike sentimentality and economic illiteracy makes no room for the obvious truth: that industrialization and market economics transformed the nasty, brutal and short lives of most people into something that at least approached the comfort and security that were once the sole property of those who were the inheritors of privilege. This is the quite shamelessly blatant refrain of the most aggressive elements of the climate change lobby."(Janet Daily) Do we just like aristocracies?
There are serious restrictions coming as not all entitlements will be able to be paid for as new entitlements are being added. Will the future conflict in the U.S. be between competing entitlement groups?
How could the Pirates have a Fan Appreciation Day and not a Fan Appreciation Month or Three Months?
