I apologize as this is longer than I like to normally post, but there are points to be hammered home here. The hour is late and the situation is dire…

Quick Takes – Hat Trick
Within I pick three topics upon which to discourse, but not worth a full-length examination as a standalone piece on their own.

This is a bit out of date (published 9/28 and Elon is now worth over $200 billion), the question’s answer is almost obvious – but my humble opinion is after this infographic.
Rome, er, America

“The worst thing about living in the declining era of a great civilization is knowing that you are.”
– Robert Heinlein
I’ve embedded this video before (1:44:41), and I cannot endorse it highly enough – Bill Whittle discusses the slow rise and strobe-light-flash fall of civilizations, the greatness of Western Civilization, plus many other things – bookmark it for later, but do watch it:
The Granite State Could Use an Economic Boost
As we head into the season of football games and pumpkin spice lattes, a recent poll by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center found that Granite Staters are not feeling that fall cheer, at least when it comes to the economy.
Laconia is on the move alright…
The Laconia Mayor likes to say that Laconia is a city on the move. The reality is that Laconia is not on the move, Massachusetts is, and they are moving to Laconia.
In the Interest of Public Health Governors and Legislatures Need to Ban Mandatory Vaccination
I’m not a big fan of mandates, but the time has come to support one. Every state legislature and governor needs to step up and protect public health by prohibiting vaccine mandates anywhere in their states.
Why New Hampshire’s Smallest Population Growth in a Century Is Bad News
In the last decade, New Hampshire’s population grew at the slowest rate in a century, signaling that generations’ worth of astounding economic and cultural gains could be put at risk.
Quick Takes – A Hat Trick + One
1. Shortages.
I was at the grocery store and I overheard three of the senior people – decades of experience – talking about how it’s harder to get items to stock on the shelves. I mentioned that to some of the stock clerks whom I have gotten to know and they concur: they’re having to get creative to keep shelves visually full.
Biden Has Become Nixon
I never want to hear another word from any Democrat, liberal, or progressive about how evil Nixon was. Biden allowed (supported?) corruption of the political process when he was vice president. As president, he has done his utmost best to reverse economic and foreign policies that made the US safer and more prosperous.
Notable Quote – There are only NON-Economic results, not Economic ones
There are, in the last resort, no economic ends. The economic efforts of the individuals as well as the services which the market order renders to them, consist in an allocation of means for the competing ultimate purposes which are always non-economic.
DISQUS Doodlings – They Have No Idea of the Consequences and Ramifications…
I had to go to Maine yesterday unexpectedly so I tried to jam in some posts in the very early morning. Got a few in and then hit the wall trying to figure out what I could do quickly (but meaningfully) and couldn’t find anything.
Data Point: Both Death and Unemployment Rates Higher In Lockdown States
“Nine of the 10 states with the lowest unemployment rates are led by Republicans. The exception is Wisconsin whose Supreme Court last May invalidated Democratic Gov. Tony Evers’s lockdown.”
Are You Part of the Top 1%?
Inspired by Skip’s recent Notable Quote post from Café Hayek, I got to thinking about the basic differences between a free market economic system and socialism.
Give Michael Moore’s ‘The Planet of the Humans’ a chance
We all want a clean, healthy environment. We all want inexpensive and reliable energy, from whatever source, that enables us to prosper, have a healthy environment, and live healthy lives. And, we want these for ourselves and future generations.
Data Point – The Granite State! Arms Manufacturer to the US!
I did not know this although with the number of companies in the Second Amendment biz resident in the State, I figured NH to be high on the list – but not THIS HIGH! For the most part, you couldn’t pay me to live in the Northeast. No offense to those of you who live … Read more
Notable Quote – So, Progressive-Socialism is “Scientific”, eh?
Socialists (and assorted ilk) have always maintained that their ideas are “Scientifically” based. That all one has to do is follow their commands and we’d all have Heaven on earth.
Data Point – NH is Back? Or is it? By
From mid-April: …The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate for March 2021 was 3% — a 0.3% decrease from February, New Hampshire Employment Security reported Tuesday. The March 2020 seasonally adjusted rate was 2.7%. New Hampshire’s unemployment rate boomed more than 17% last year after the pandemic hit but has since recovered and is now among the … Read more
A $15 Minimum Wage Would Make NH Poorer, Less Populous
Raising New Hampshire’s minimum wage to $15 an hour would cost the state nearly 6,000 jobs and more than 9,000 residents, raise consumer prices, reduce economic output, and cause serious harm to small businesses and the leisure and hospitality industries, a new report from New Hampshire Employment Security concludes.
