It’s EASY to Make Shared Misery “Equitable”! – Part 1
The eco-Socialists at Treehugger are really at it again. And when you think it can’t get any more bizarre with the “equity” schtick (e.g, the Socialist norm of “equality of outcome” instead of the American norm of “equality of opportunity”), here comes this from Lloyd.

You Have the Tech, Delta Airlines – Why Make the Feds Do Your Job for You?
Since deregulation happened in the airline industry, prices have come down such that travel by air has become a “bus with wings” kind of travel. When I started my biz travel back in the 80s (working for DEC as a Consultant), it wasn’t too bad, even if my seat was in the last row on the place.

Friday Open Thread – So, where’s the snow I was promised??
Shoveling: absolutely brutal earlier this morning. The rain froze bottommost and then the 1.5″ sleet that fell on top that packed itself up hard. I told TMEW that she is not to go out because there’s still thin ice on top of our pathway. It’ still sleeting so there’s no use in salting or sanding. … Read more
