EconomicPolicyJournal.com: Solving the Homeless Situation in American Cities

Monday, June 3, 2019

Finally, I would eliminate government schools, which in the inner cities does nothing but destroy minds and spirit–and distorts the thinking of youth in all other non-inner city schools.I am, more and more, beginning to think that government schools are the most dangerous institutions in America. I would end government-funded “education” of all kinds, including for all public schools and for all voucher programs.

Good luck with that.  I agree completely.  But the Gooferment Skrules are politically controlled by powerful unions that have the politicians and bureaucrats on a leash.  And, they are the closest thing to a national religion we have.

Argh!

Short Circuit: A Roundup of Recent Federal Court Decisions – Reason.com

Monday, June 3, 2019

*** begin quote ***

  • The DEA classifies marijuana as a drug with no accepted medical use, akin to LSD and ecstasy (among others). But many turn to it for medical reasons, as do plaintiffs (a group of children and adults suffering from life-threatening medical problems), who sue the DEA to challenge its classification. Second Circuit (over a dissent): Alas, we cannot hear the case until you first ask the DEA to review it. But because the DEA is notoriously slow in reviewing classifications (petitions average nine years each), we will retain jurisdiction of this case so we can ensure speedy review.

*** end quote ***

Where is the treasure? Where are the assets? Where’s the loot?

Sounds like typical Gooferment bureaucrat “barbara streisand”!

The phrase “no accepted medical use” rings hollow when so many are using it as side-effect free pain reliever?

EconomicPolicyJournal.com: California Town Sees Businesses Vanish Following Minimum Wage Hike

Sunday, June 2, 2019

Representatives from the Mills College Lokey School presented data from its recent ‘business conditions’ survey to our City Council on Tuesday. The study confirmed what restaurant owners warned when the ordinance was hastily passed in 2015. They are struggling, rapidly raising menu prices and increasingly looking to leave. …It’s getting harder to find small food service businesses that were around in 2015 when the MWO was passed. Emeryville institution Bucci’s, Commonwealth, Farley’s, Scarlet City … all gone. In fact, nearly all the brick & mortar businesses that comprised the short-lived Little City Emeryville small business advocacy group have moved, folded or sold. …The survey also identified that “the restaurant industry is clearly struggling.” Specifically, small, independent, non-franchise establishments are having the most difficulty.

The politicians and bureaucrats don’t understand the Laws of Economics are just like the Laws of Physics and not like the “Laws” that Gooferment passes.

It’s really unfair to use the same word “law” to apply to the fundamentals of the Universe and the diktats of politicians!  If the Eskimos can have a lot of words for snow, then the English language should have two different words for “Universal Laws” and “political diktats”!

Argh!

Federal Subsidies Spur Massive Fraud | Cato @ Liberty

Friday, May 31, 2019

One of the problems with federal hand-out programs is that individuals take advantage of them and scam artists outright loot them. You see this in programs such as Medicaid, Medicare, school lunches, earned income tax credits, housing aid, student loans, and farm subsidies.Daily Beast writer Evan Wright has an appalling story of Christopher Bathum, who looted addiction-treatment funds made available by the Obamacare law. The law required addiction-treatment funding by Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance companies.

Sorry but all Gooferment “handouts” have “Unintended Consequences”.

The Gooferment is immoral, ineffective, and inefficient. As well as untrustworthy.

Argh!

North Korea executes a special envoy to the United States | Daily Mail Online

Thursday, May 30, 2019

Kim Jong-un is believed to be carrying out a massive purge following the failed U.S.-North Korea summit earlier this year after a special envoy to the U.S., Kim Hyok Chol (pictured), was executed.

Sounds like Kim would be prefect for a Wall Street job.  Maybe a Wall Street regulator?

In his first day on the job training manual should have a chapter on “You can’t call the secret police to execute a Wall Streeter who fails to follow your regulation or anyoneelse who displease you.”   (Hmmm, I guess that’s true if your name isn’t Clinton.)

Wow.  Wonder who want this guy’s job next?

Killing Assange? – May 30th Update

Thursday, May 30, 2019

RPI Board Member Judge Andrew Napolitano hits the nail squarely on the head:

Why was Assange indicted? Government killers are a mob, and mobs love anonymity. Assange assaulted their love by ending that anonymity. When the government kills and rejoices and lies about it in our names, we have a right to know of its behavior. Democracies spy on us all, yet they persist in punishing, to the ends of the earth, those who dare to shine a light upon them. Tyrannies do the same.

Alan Dershowitz: ‘Shame on Mueller,’ He ‘Revealed His Partisan Bias’

Thursday, May 30, 2019

No prosecutor should ever say or do anything for the purpose of helping one party or the other. I cannot imagine a plausible reason why Mueller went beyond his report and gratuitously suggested that President Trump might be guilty, except to help Democrats in Congress and to encourage impeachment talk and action. Shame on Mueller for abusing his position of trust and for allowing himself to be used for such partisan advantage.

Like most things coming out of the “District of Corruption”, it’s always “partisan”.

Interesting the AD took so long to come to this conclusion.

Remember the three “laws” of political motivation: (1) reward your friends; (2) punish your enemies; and (3) feather your own nest.

In this case, Mueller has done all three to the detriment of a polite civil society here in the USA.

Why should any politician or bureaucrat be taken at face value ever?  At least, used car salesmen are “honest” — they want your money.

Argh!

These 30 Responses To U.S. Army Asking ‘How Has Serving Impacted You?’ Was Not What They Were Expecting To Hear

Monday, May 27, 2019

Memorial Day weekend is meant to be a time of reflection to honor the Americans who have served, so two days before the weekend the U.S. Army reached out to veterans via Twitter to ask them to share how their service had impacted their lives – and it’s easy to say it backfired.

Read this and then tell me about how much America reveres its vets.

Best way to honor them is to bring all the girls and boys home now.
