ECONOMICS: The Gooferment is to blame for Texas’

Friday, February 19, 2021

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/02/18/texans-grid-outage-deregulation/

*** begin quote ***

Why Texans are cold and in the dark Texas’s predicament stems from a decision that state lawmakers made about 20 years ago to abandon the traditional model of fully regulated electricity utilities. Still used across many areas of the nation, these electric companies — described as vertically integrated utilities — do not compete for customers and are allowed to earn a rate of return on investment. They can raise rates only with the permission of state regulators. (Washington Post)

‘I Miss My Mom’: Children Of QAnon Believers Are Desperately Trying To Deradicalize Their Own Parents | HuffPost

The 19-year-old started to notice changes in his mother’s behavior around the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic. She had always been a nervous woman: She stopped flying after 9/11 and had hovered closely to Sam and his two younger siblings for their entire lives. But during the COVID-19 crisis, his mom’s paranoia spiraled from quirky to deranged. It has turned her into someone he hardly recognizes.

For example, the existence of a “Deep State” of bureaucrats is a demonstrated fact. They control a lot of power inside the Gooferment. Maybe more than any President or politician.

But that doesn’t put them in league with the Devil?

Epstein and his “lolita express” had some “interesting” passengers to his private island of young girls. And certainly, that needs some “sunshine”. But it doesn’t mean that every politician and or bureaucrat is a pedophile.

What Kennedy has been providing is information different from what government, along with big money media and social media have been pushing over the last year in America — the long-time fearmongering concerning coronavirus and praising of coronavirus crackdowns, as well as the recent incessant promoting that everyone should take the experimental coronavirus vaccines.

Don’t Let Judges Lie to Juries about Conscientious Acquittal | Cato Institute

Tuesday, February 9, 2021

The Maryland Court of Appeals’ endorsement of the novel (and false) proposition that juries may not acquit against the evidence—and its prospective instruction that state trial judges repeat that misrepresentation of the law to juries—represents a brazen usurpation of the jury’s power. No matter how much some judges may dislike jury nullification, letting them lie to juries to prevent the conscientious acquittal of a defendant is unconstitutional.

Is this hard evidence of illegal ballots in Detroit? The Gateway Pundit now claims that the TCF Center finally released security footage showing that witnesses were telling the truth.

Saturday, February 6, 2021

The Gateway Pundit, though, wasn’t ready to walk away from these claims. Instead, two months ago, the site requested video footage from the TCF Center for the wee hours of November 4, long after the ballots should have stopped arriving. The Gateway Pundit finally received the footage a week ago and, since then, has poured through hundreds of hours of security camera footage. According to The Gateway Pundit, the footage revealed that, just as the witnesses said, 50 boxes of ballots arrived at around 3:30 in the morning:

Military names can echo down through the ages, a fact underlined by the current fight in Washington, D.C., between President Trump and Congress, which has voted to strip the names of Confederate generals from several Southern Army bases.

The president has vowed that won’t happen, but the battle might not be resolved before Election Day.

The Navy, meanwhile, has quietly charted a new course. A supercarrier now on the drawing boards will be christened the USS Doris Miller.

It’s the first supercarrier to be named for an enlisted sailor and the first to be named after an African American.

POLITICAL: Cuomo creates a catch 22?

The governor, a self-declared foe of government incompetence, also presented medical providers with the vaccine edition of Sophie’s Choice. Earlier this month, he announced that hospitals that failed to use all of their vaccines would face up to a $100,000 fine; those thatvaccinated anyone out of the state-approved order of operations would face up to a $1 million fine. The kicker: Cuomo created a rigorous hierarchy of who was allowed to receive the vaccine at what point, meaning hospitals had no choice but to throw away expiring doses instead of finding willing vaccine recipients. Better to lose $100,000 than $1 million, I guess.

TINFOILHAT: CDC Scientist: ‘We scheduled meeting to destroy vaccine-autism study documents’ | Sharyl Attkisson

Thursday, January 28, 2021

Despite this whistleblower testimony, which Dr. Thompson provided to Rep. Bill Posey, R-Florida, there is little chance of a meaningful hearing or investigation. In an untainted news environment, the allegations would make headlines in most legitimate publications and would trigger federal inquiries. However, the interests of the powerful pharmaceutical industry reach deeply into Congress and the news media through lobbyists, propaganda and advertising dollars. “The omitted data suggested that African American males who received the MMR vaccine before age 36 months were at increased risk for autism.” –CDC Senior Scientist Dr. William Thompson

ECONOMICS: Thought Experiments About the Minimum Wage

Saturday, January 23, 2021

(Don Boudreaux) Tweet Here’s a letter to a high-school senior in Wisconsin who (I boast) reads Café Hayek: Mr. S___: Thanks for your e-mail. I share your negative opinion of Pres. Biden’s proposal to more than double the national minimum wage to $15 per hour.

Source: Thought Experiments About the Minimum Wage

*** begin quote ***

I’m sure that many of your classmates earn income by doing odd-jobs such as babysitting, mowing lawns, and shoveling snow. So ask them what they think would happen if government forced them to double the amounts that they charge to do these jobs. Do your classmates think that parents with young children will continue to hire as many hours of babysitting at (say) $30 per hour as they hire at $15 per hour? Will homeowners’ willingness to hire neighborhood kids to mow lawns be unchanged if the price of getting a lawn mown is forced up from (say) $25 to $50? Will neighbors be just as willing to pay (say) $40 to have snow shoveled off of their driveways as they are when they must pay only $20?

*** end quote ***

Here’s another thought experiment.

We know that few heads of households (I believe less that 1%) earn on the minimum wage.

Soooooo.

Cui bono.

It’s a well known fact that when you increase the bottom of the pay scale all the level on top of that pay grade have to go up too.

So it’s union workers, politicians, and bureaucrats that make out the best.  Obviously, the taxpayers are much worse off, as well as a consumers, as price increases ripple thru the economy.
