Sigh!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: LA Fines Catholic Church Behind Coronavirus Restriction Lawsuit – Washington Free Beacon

Monday, October 26, 2020

Burfitt criticized state authorities for “biased and inequitable treatment” against churchgoers in the wake of a massive gathering in Los Angeles to celebrate the Lakers’ NBA championship victory earlier this month.

More anti-religious discrimination by the Pepuls Republik of Kaliforkneeah!

It’s hard to think that celebrating an NBA championship or “mostly peaceful” demonstrations are OK, but a church service is not!

Going to WalMart is OK but going to a church is not.

The secularist Left has taken over the various levels of Gooferment.

Secession may be the only remedy?

NJ Man Charged For Illegal Suppressors That He Tried To Turn In To Police
Posted at 9:00 am on October 22, 2020 by Cam Edwards

*** begin quote ***

Musella’s press release truly makes it sound like Moran was some sort of international smuggler of silencers, instead of a guy who voluntarily alerted police to the suppressors that arrived on his doorstep. The fact that Musella’s press release doesn’t even mention Moran’s cooperation with police is disturbing, but not nearly as troubling as Moran’s arrest for trying to follow the law in the first place.

Wonder if @governorphilmurphy will intervene?

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: How to get Results – Futility Closet

Saturday, October 24, 2020

Within an hour the state announced it would do the work, and today a one-lane bridge connects Vulcan to the outside world. “Our government was afraid the Russians would build the bridge,” Robinette said. “They were embarrassed into it, and nothing will convince me otherwise.”

That’s one way to get Gooferment to act — embarass them!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: USA Today Refused To Publish Hunter Biden Scandal Op-Ed, So Here It Is

Friday, October 23, 2020

Tyler Durden Thu, 10/22/2020 – 11:28 Authored by Glenn Harlan Reynolds, SO USA TODAY DIDN’T WANT TO RUN MY HUNTER BIDEN COLUMN THIS WEEK. My regular editor is on vacation, and I guess everyone else was afraid to touch it. So I’m sending them another column next week, and just publishing this one here.

The heads Facebook and of Twitter, Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey, are now facing Senate subpoenas, the RNC has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission, arguing that Twitter’s action in blacking out a damaging story constituted an illegal in-kind donation to the Biden Campaign, and most significantly, everyone is talking about the story now, with many understandably assuming that if the story were false, it would have been debunked rather than blacked out.

CNN’s Jake Tapper tweeted: ”Congrats to Twitter on its Streisand Effect award!!!” Big Tech shot itself in the foot, and it didn’t stop the signal.

Clearly, the Gooferment MUST break up “Big Tech” to make it conform to American values of “fair play”.

ECONOMICS: Biden’s plan to overhaul 401(k) tax breaks could force some companies to cut retirement benefits

Thursday, October 22, 2020

“When you mess up that bargain, you’re disincentivizing those small business owners from having that plan anymore,” he said. “Not only is it unfair to those small business owners, it’s going to reduce the likelihood that they’re going to offer those benefits to their employees. And that’s particularly acute in a challenging time like now.”

Let’s go on record that “tax policy” — by EITHER party — is fraught with Unintended Consequences!

Having killed “pensions” except for Gooferment bureaucrats; now they are killing 401Ks!

Argh!

POLITICAL: In New Biden Ad, Michigan Millionaire Claims Trump Is Killing His Nightclub

Tuesday, October 20, 2020

But it’s even more dishonest than I thought. With Biden, it usually is. Collin Anderson, Washington Free Beacon:

The struggling Michigan bar owner at the center of a Joe Biden campaign ad is actually a wealthy tech investor whose startup was seeded by a large family inheritance.

The ad, which the Biden campaign released Thursday, identifies Michigan entrepreneur Joe Malcoun as co-owner of the Blind Pig, a bar and live music venue in Ann Arbor, Mich…According to a 2018 interview with local NBC affiliate Click on Detroit, Malcoun became a well-known “angel investor” in local tech startups after receiving a large inheritance from his wife’s late grandfather roughly a decade ago. He described the inheritance as “almost like winning the lottery…

”Malcoun has also repeatedly praised Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer’s (D.) coronavirus response, saying she “is doing it right” in an April tweet.

INNOVATION: The Tunnel of Eupalinos – Futility Closet

Tuesday, October 20, 2020

When the Greek engineer Eupalinos contrived a tunnel in the 6th century B.C. to carry water through Mount Kastro to Samos, he started digging simultaneously from the north and south, hoping that the two tunnels would meet in the heart of the mountain. He arranged this through some timely doglegs: When the two teams could hear one another (meaning they were about 12 meters apart), each deviated from its course in both the horizontal (left) and vertical (right) planes:

I’d heard about this decades ago in injineering skrule.  But didn’t realize the enormity of the undertaking.

Guess that’s why I never “grokked” the importance of civil engineering.

POLITICAL: CNBC: Under Biden Plan, Top Tax Rate 62% | Newsmax.com

Monday, October 19, 2020

Under the tax plan from Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, people earning more than $400,000 a year could pay combined federal and state income taxes at rate of more than 62%. CNBC reported.

Anyone care to hazard a guess what this is going to do to the economy?

What incentive do “the rich” have to take risks and invest if the Gooferment is the majority stake holder in any gains and (probably imho) no stake in the losses.

I’d expect that investment capital to be redirected to real estate and hard assets for use after the collapse and inflation. 

Argh!

(And by the way, when the “tax increase” doesn’t yield sufficient “revenue”, I bet that 400k$ “ceiling” starts to drop. Just like the Gooferment ALWAYS does!)

(Argh!)

Ideally how much trans fat should we eat a day?

Zero, and the same goes for saturated fat and cholesterol.
