GOVEROTRAGEOUS: “Nirvana approach” whne comparing the Free Market ro Gooferment

Thursday, June 15, 2023

https://www.econlib.org/james-mackintoshs-misunderstanding-of-markets/

Harold Demsetz pointed out in a famous 1969 article that many economists use the “Nirvana approach.” They compare actual markets with ideal government programs run by all-knowing bureaucrats with benevolent motives rather than comparing actual markets with actual government.

# – # – # – # – # 

Let me know when someone finds any “government programs run by all-knowing bureaucrats with benevolent motives” because I’ve never seen any Gooferment program that works at all.

Argh!

INSPIRATIONAL:An adult version of that “we;re twins” perception

Boy Becomes Friends With 12 Y.O. Foster Kid So The Family Adopts Him
Margo Butautaite  — BoredPanda staff

*** begin quote ***

In an ideal world, every child has nurturing parents that love and protect them and kiss them goodnight after checking for monsters under the bed. Unfortunately, the reality is more tragic. Many children get taken away from abusive parents and end up in foster care waiting for years for a new family. A boy from Tennessee was lucky to have found a family that loves him unconditionally AND ended up having his best friend as his brother. How cool is that?

*** end quote ***

I don’t often find “inspirational” material on Bored Panda; so this was special.

It made me think of all those memes where young children claim “twin-ship” by wearing the same clothes and ignore that they are of different “races”.  (It makes me thing that “race” really doesn’t exist except as a meme in the midst of adults!)

This story is an adult version of that perception.

I hope that all involved have all the blessings that Karma can grant them and some on all those who can’t see the beauty of the family’s action.

POLITICAL: Socialized medicine kills when everything becomes political

Monday, June 12, 2023

At 34, Jon has incurable bowel cancer – all because the NHS turned into a Covid-only service

  • Jon Chapple’s diagnosis was delayed due to the pandemic; now his only hope is to crowdfund treatment in Germany

Allison Pearson  — 30 May 2023 • 6:32pm

*** begin quote ***

In the spring of 2020, Jon Chapple and a friend were debating lockdown. Jon was pretty vehement. He said he thought it was obvious that shutting down the country, and effectively making the NHS a Covid-only service, was a huge error. It would kill more people than it saved in the long run, Jon told his friend. What Jon didn’t know was that one of the people lockdown would condemn to death would be him.  

How could he possibly have known? Jon was 32, a music journalist turned PR who had recently married Nikki, his childhood sweetheart. They grew up two streets away from each other in Essex. The couple were incredibly happy, planning to move into a bigger place, start a family; life was sweet, apart from an annoying stomach complaint Jon had seen the GP about in January.

He’d been referred for a colonoscopy that was supposed to happen in March, but lockdown kiboshed that. The appointment was pushed back until August when a benign polyp was discovered in Jon’s bowel. The consultant said he didn’t have the right tool to take it out (he didn’t mention it was because the growth was so large) but he told Jon he’d get him back in to do it. “It was no big deal, I thought,” recalls Jon.

*** end quote ***

What a national disaster!  A simple colonoscopy could have save him a lot of suffering and maybe Gooferment cost him his life.

Where does this death get tabulated?

INSPIRATIONAL: 8th Grader Walks himself into a college scholarship

Sunday, June 11, 2023

https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/after-8th-grader-walked-to-graduation-a-missouri-university-and-nfl-star-team-up-to-give-him-a-ride-to-college/?utm_campaign=newsletters&utm_medium=weekly_mailout&utm_source=07-06-2023

After 8th Grader Walked to Graduation, an NFL Star and University Team Up to Give Him a Ride to College
By Andy Corbley – Jun 5, 2023 

*** begin quote ***

A Missouri middle schooler was so determined to make it to his graduation, he ended up walking 6 miles.

Losing out on an opportunity for a ride there, 8th-grader Xavier Jones asked his friend and brother to walk along with him, remembering something a mentor at Yeatman Middle School had told him.

“‘If I want it, I got to go get it,’” Jones told Fox News, remembering the advice. Together, the young men walked over 10,000 steps and two-and-a-half hours through St. Louis to arrive at the school.

*** and ***

“She said, ‘You got a full ride,’ and I said [to Xavier], ‘Do you know what that means,’ and he said, ‘They’re going to give me a ride to school?’” Seals said. “I was like, ‘No, you’re getting a ride to college. He said, ‘Wait a minute, I don’t have to pay for college. Then it started hitting him.”

*** and ***

Miami Dolphins NFL player Terron Armstead, who grew up in a similar part of town to Xavier, had bought his family a minivan, and an electric bike to ensure transportation options are no longer a problem.

*** end quote ***

An impressive young MAN! We hear a lot of bad things that “juvenile delinquents” do, but not enough stories like this one.

Very impressive actions by the college president and the NFL player.

I’m sure KARMA will reward them.

INNOVATION: Pass a “letter of marque” against Ahlam Tamimi and PNG all the Jordanian diplomats

Saturday, June 10, 2023

While Sbarro Bombing Mastermind Ahlam Tamimi Enjoys Jordan’s Protection, Her Victim Dies After 22 Years in Coma

  • Tamimi planned 2001 Jerusalem pizzeria bombing that killed 16 people, including 7 children and a pregnant woman. 

Posted by Vijeta Uniyal  —  Thursday, June 1, 2023 at 01:04pm

*** begin quote ***

While Ahlam Tamimi, the mastermind of the 2001 Jerusalem pizzeria bombing, enjoys legal protection in neighboring Jordan, her 16th victim — 53-year-old Chana Nachenberg — died in a Tel Aviv hospital after 22 years in a coma. New York-born Nachenberg was at the restaurant with her two-year-old daughter, who was also injured in the bombing.

Ahlam Tamimi, a Hamas terrorist of Jordanian nationality, received 16 consecutive life sentences from an Israeli court for orchestrating the suicide bombing. In 2011, She was released in exchange for an Israeli soldier held in Hamas captivity for five years.

According to Tamimi’s own admission, she chose the popular West Jerusalem restaurant because it was well-frequented by religious Jews. The suicide bomber, on Tamimi’s orders, blew himself up inside the Sbarro pizzeria. The blast initially killed 15 people, including seven children and a pregnant woman. More than 130 people were injured in the bombing.

*** end quote ***

Tme to dust off the Constitution and have Congress pass a “letter of marque” against this individual.  Not that “we”, the USA would kill her, but we would ignore it.  From out Justice POV, it just was “justice delayed”.

While I am personally against the death penalty, sometimes it’s warranted.

And PNG (Persona Non Grata) ALL the Jordanian diplomats. 

Argh!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_of_marque

*** begin quote ***

Although privateering commissions and letters of marque were originally distinct legal concepts, such distinctions became purely technical by the 18th century.[19] Article I of the United States Constitution, for instance, states that “The Congress shall have Power To … grant Letters of marque and reprisal …”,[20] without separately addressing privateer commissions.

Different “justice” for DJT45!

https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2023/06/08/nancy-mace-on-classified-docs-indictment-biden-just-secured-trumps-nomination-in-2024/

*** begin quote ***

“Looking at how they’re treating him in one way versus everybody else. Every time Biden comes under the microscope, every time we show corruption by Joe Biden and his family there’s an indictment on Donald Trump. When you look at the standard he has it’s a double standard, a second tier of justice in this country. The American people want everybody to be treated the same. Donald Trump is no fan of mine. he primaried me last year. I’m not a shill, but I see this, how unfair it’s been.”

*** end quote ***

I agree!

Not a fan of anyone in the UniWarParty, but this is absurd.

INSPIRATIONAL: The York groundsel is “De-Extinct-ed”

Friday, June 9, 2023

https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/flower-that-grew-only-in-york-brought-back-from-extinction-after-30-years-first-ever-british-de-extinction/?utm_campaign=newsletters&utm_medium=weekly_mailout&utm_source=01-06-2023

Flower That Grew Only in York Brought Back From Extinction After 30 Years—First Ever British De-Extinction

By Andy Corbley – May 30, 2023 

*** begin quote ***

English media is gushing over the news of the first “de-extinction event” that saw a yellow wildflower unique to northeast England brought back to life.

Extinct since 1991, the York groundsel managed to carry on thanks to a handful of seed that was shed from three potted specimens on a windowsill at the University of York.

Stored at the Millennium Seed Bank in the Kew Gardens, botanists at Natural England organized a resurrection for the York groundsel after they received word the seeds were reaching the end of their lifespan.

*** end quote ***

Like aborted children, about whom I wonder who was the one who was to cure cancer.  So to, an extinct species of flower could hold the unknown key to an unknown mystery.

Probably not, but who wants to bet against the possibility?

Not me.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: How about clawing back all the fraud in Gooferment programs?

*** begin quote ***

These are thieves and you need now to read it, read the bill, and see where the money was stolen, who got which pork, who is going to get kickbacks, who is the bagman or bagmen, whose family is richer today due to it, this is all a game, a show of thieves and we should not be afraid to go back and examine every COVID relief and PPE $ money, all of it, every tax dollar linked to COVID for I am sure 90% was fraudulent and these beasts in government enriched themselves, kind of like the COVID Freedom Fighters, at least some of them. They came to ‘take’. 

*** end quote ***

I’d suggest a 10% bounty of every dollar clawed back from fraud, waste, and abuse.  Let’s put the free market to work punishing these thieves.

Argh!
